Therapeutic Potential of Propolis Extract in Managing Hyperinflammation and Long COVID‐19: A Bioinformatics Study

ABSTRACTHyperinflammation is a significant factor in long COVID, impacting over 65 million post‐COVID‐19 individuals globally. Herbal remedies, including propolis, show promise in reducing severity and pro‐inflammatory cytokines. However, the natural pharmacological role of propolis in COVID‐19 management remains underexplored. Employing network pharmacology and in silico techniques, we assessed propolis extract's potential in countering SARS‐CoV‐2‐induced inflammation. We identified 80 flavonoids via LC–MS/MS QTOF and employed 11 anti‐inflammatory drugs as references for inflammation target fishing. Utilizing in silico techniques encompassing target fishing, molecular docking, and dynamics, we examined propolis' effects. We identified 1105 gene targets connected to inflammation through multiple validated target predictors. By integrating SARS‐CoV‐2 DEGs from GSE147507 with these targets, we identify 25 inflammation‐COVID‐19‐associated propolis targets, including STAT1, NOS2, CFB, EIF2K2, NPY5R, and BTK. Enrichment analyses highlighted primary pharmacological pathways related to Epstein‐Barr virus infection and COVID‐19. Molecular docking validated isokaempferide, iristectorigenin B, 3′‐methoxypuerarin, cosmosiin, and baicalein‐7‐O‐β‐d‐glucopyranoside, which exhibited strong binding affinity and stability with relevant genes. Moreover, our findings indicate that propolis ligands could potentially suppress reactivation of Epstein‐Barr Virus infections in post‐COVID‐19 cases. However, this study has a limitation in that the concentration of each propolis compound has not been quantified. Therefore, further exploration of propolis compounds quantification and experimental validation are needed to support these findings.

The adipose tissue melanocortin 3 receptor is targeted by ghrelin and leptin and may be a therapeutic target in obesity

OBJECTIVEObesity is linked to perturbations in energy balance mechanisms, including ghrelin and leptin actions at the hypothalamic circuitry of neuropeptide Y (NPY) and melanocortin. However, information about the regulation of this system in the periphery is still scarce. Our objective was to study the regulation of the NPY/melanocortin system in the adipose tissue (AT) and evaluate its therapeutic potential for obesity and type 2 diabetes.METHODSThe expression of the NPY/melanocortin receptors' levels was assessed in the visceral AT of individuals with obesity and altered metabolism. Protein levels of these receptors were evaluated in cultured adipocytes incubated with ghrelin (30 and 100 ng/mL) and leptin (1 and 10 nM) and in the AT of an animal model with a mutation in the leptin receptor (ZSF1 rat), to understand their regulation by leptin and ghrelin. The vertical sleeve gastrectomy animal model was used to evaluate the putative therapeutic potential of the NPY/melanocortin system.RESULTSIn this study, we unravelled that leptin (1 nM and 10 nM) selectively reduced the levels of NPY5R and MC3R but no other NPYR/MCRs in cultured adipocytes. In turn, acylated ghrelin (100 ng/mL) significantly increased NPY1R, but the inhibition of its receptor also abrogates MC3R levels. However, in the Lepr-deficient ZSF1 rat, both NPY5R and MC3R levels were reduced, along with other NPYRs and MCRs, suggesting that leptin resistance negatively affects NPY and melanocortin signalling. In human adipose tissue, we found a downregulation of genes encoding the NPY and melanocortin receptors in the visceral AT of individuals with obesity and insulin resistance, being correlated with genes regulating metabolic activity. Additionally, diabetic obese rats submitted to vertical sleeve gastrectomy showed increased levels of NPY, melanocortin, ghrelin, and leptin receptors in the AT, including MC3R, suggesting it may constitute a therapeutic target in obesity.CONCLUSIONSOur results suggest that the AT NPY/melanocortin system, particularly the MC3R, may be involved in the neuroendocrine regulation of adipocyte metabolism. Altogether, our work shows MC3R is under the control of the ghrelin/leptin duo, is reduced in patients with obesity and prediabetes, and may constitute a therapeutic target in obesity.

Activation of NPY Receptors in the BLA Inhibits Projections to the Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis and Buffers Stress-Induced Decreases in Social Interaction in Male Rats

Article

Author: Bompolaki, Maria ; Vantrease, Jaime E ; DeJoseph, M Regina ; Miranda Tapia, Ana P ; Urban, Janice H ; Colmers, William F

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) increases resilience and buffers behavioral stress responses in male rats in part through decreasing the excitability of principal output neurons in the basolateral amygdala (BLA). Intra-BLA administration of NPY acutely increases social interaction (SI) through activation of either Y1or Y5receptors, whereas repeated NPY (rpNPY) injections (once daily for 5 d) produce persistent increases in SI through Y5receptor-mediated neuroplasticity in the BLA. In this series of studies, we characterized the neural circuits from the BLA that underlie these behavioral responses to NPY. Using neuronal tract tracing, NPY Y1and Y5receptor immunoreactivity was identified on subpopulations of BLA neurons projecting to the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) and the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA). Inhibition of BLA→BNST, but not BLA→CeA, neurons using projection-restricted, cre-driven designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drug-Giexpression increased SI and prevented stress-induced decreases in SI produced by a 30 min restraint stress. This behavioral profile was similar to that seen after both acute and rpNPY injections into the BLA. Intracellular recordings of BLA→BNST neurons demonstrated NPY-mediated inhibition via suppression of H currents, as seen previously. Repeated intra-BLA injections of NPY, which are associated with the induction of BLA neuroplasticity, decreased the activity of BLA→BNST neurons and decreased their dendritic complexity. These results demonstrate that NPY modulates the activity of BNST-projecting BLA neurons, suggesting that this pathway contributes to the stress-buffering actions of NPY and provides a novel substrate for the proresilient effects of NPY.
