Quercetin has been described as having a wide range of beneficial effects in humans, ranging from anti-carcinogenic properties to reducing the risk of CVD. Nevertheless, underlying molecular mechanisms have been mostly investigated in vitro. Here, we tested whether a daily supplementation of quercetin leads to reproducible changes in human monocyte gene expression profiles. In study I, quercetin in varying dosages was given to healthy subjects for 2 weeks. RNA from monocytes isolated at the begi ...[more]

Project description:Dietary flavonoids are supposed to be protective against cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Elevated circulating lipid levels and hepatic lipid accumulation are known risk factors for CVD. We investigated the effects and underlying molecular mechanisms of the flavonoid quercetin on hepatic lipid metabolism in mice with diet induced body weight gain and hepatic lipid accumulation. Adult male mice received a high-fat diet without or with supplementation of 0.33% (w/w) quercetin for 12 weeks. Body weight gain was 29% lower in quercetin-fed mice (p<0.01), while the energy intake was not significantly different. Quercetin supplementation reduced hepatic lipid accumulation with 71% (p<0.05). 1H nuclear magnetic resonance serum lipid profiling revealed that the supplementation lowered serum lipids (p<0.0001). Global gene expression profiling of liver showed that key target genes of the transcription factor Constitutive androstane receptor (Car; official symbol Nr1i3) were regulated, in particular Cytochrome P450 2b (Cyp2b) genes. Quercetin can decrease high-fat diet induced body weight gain, hepatic lipid accumulation and serum lipid levels, which might be explained by the regulation of Cytochrome P450 genes under transcriptional control of CAR, an effect which is likely dependent on dietary background. Liver samples were obtained from 24 C57BL/6J male adult mice. All mice started with a three week adaptation phase, in which they were fed a normal-fat diet. During the intervention of 12 weeks, the mice received a high-fat diet without (HF) or with supplementation of 0.33% (w/w) quercetin (HF-Q). Based on visual inspection, three arrays lacked homogenous hybridization and were therefore excluded.

Project description:Elevated circulating lipid levels are known risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In order to examine the effects of quercetin on hepatic lipid metabolism and detailed serum lipid profiles, mice received a mild-high-fat diet without (control) or with supplementation of 0.33% (w/w) quercetin for 12 weeks. Gas chromatography and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance were used to measure quantitatively serum lipid profiles and whole genome microarray analysis was used to identify the responsible mechanisms in liver. There were no significant differences found in mean body weight, energy intake and hepatic lipid accumulation between the quercetin and control group. In serum of quercetin-fed mice, TG levels were decreased with 15%, poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were increased with 14% and saturated fatty acids were decreased. Palmitic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid were all decreased in quercetin-fed mice by 9-15%. Both palmitic acid and oleic acid can be oxidized by omega-oxidation. Indeed, gene expression profiling showed that quercetin increased hepatic lipid metabolism, especially omega-oxidation. At the gene level, this was reflected by the up regulation of cytochrome P450 (Cyp) 4a10, Cyp4a14, Cyp4a31 and Acyl-CoA thioesterase 3 (Acot3). Two relevant regulators, Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (Por, rate limiting for cytochrome P450s) and the transcription factor Constitutive androstane receptor (Car; official symbol Nr1i3) were also up regulated in the quercetin-fed mice. We conclude that quercetin intake increased hepatic lipid omega-oxidation and lowered corresponding circulating lipid levels, a process that may involve Por and Car, and results in a potential beneficial CVD preventive effect. Liver samples were obtained from 36 C57BL/6J male adult mice. All mice started with a three week adaptation phase, in which they were fed a mild-high-fat diet. 12 mice were sacrificed immediately after the adaptation phase (t=0). The other 24 mice received the mild-high-fat diet without (HF) or with supplementation of 0.33% (w/w) quercetin (HF-Q) for 12 weeks.

Project description:To systemically evaluate the comprehensive alterations under the supplements of quercetin and/or resveratrol in high fat diet (HFD) fed mice, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes that differentially altered by different treatments. Gene expression profiles were significantly altered by long term HFD feeding. However, quercetin, resveratrol and their combination could effectively attenuate this alteration. Especially, combination use of quercetin and resveratrol showed more signifcant benefits on the changes of genes, involved in metabolic disorders, induced by HFD, which revealed a synergistic effect of quercetin and resveratrol supplementation in high fat diet fed mice.

Project description:The aim was to investigate mechanisms contributing to quercetinâs previously described effects on cell-proliferation and -differentiation, which contradicted its proposed anti-carcinogenic potency. In a 10-day experiment, 40 µM quercetin stabilized by 1mM ascorbate reduced Caco-2 differentiation up to 50% (P<0.001). Caco-2 RNA from days 5 and 10, hybridized on HG-U133A2.0 Affymetrix® GeneChips®, showed 1,743 affected genes on both days (P<0.01). All 14 Caco-2 differentiation-associated genes showed decreased expression (P<0.01), including intestinal alkaline phosphatase that was confirmed technically (qRT-PCR) and functionally (enzyme-activity). The 1,743 genes contributed to 27 affected pathways (P<0.05) categorized under 6 gene ontology (GO) processes, including apoptosis and cell-cycle. Genes within these GO-processes showed fold changes that suggest increased cell-survival and -proliferation. Furthermore, quercetin downregulated expression of genes involved in tumor-suppression and phase II metabolism, and upregulated oncogenes. Gene expression changes mediated by ascorbate-stabilized quercetin were concordant with those occurring in human colorectal carcinogenesis (â 80-90%), but were opposite to those previously described for Caco-2 cells exposed to quercetin in the absence of ascorbate (â 75-90%). In conclusion, gene expression among Caco-2 cells exposed to ascorbate-stabilized quercetin showed mechanisms contrary to what is expected for a cancer-preventive agent. Whether this unexpected in vitro effect is relevant in vivo, remains to be elucidated. Experiment Overall Design: Caco-2 cells were harvested on days 5 and 10 post-confluency. Per day, fold changes were calculated as quercetin vs. control.

Project description:Given the positive results of quercetin in in vitro genotoxicity studies, it is of interest to test the in vivo genotoxicity of this important dietary flavonoid, especially considering possible high intake by widely available supplements. In the present study quercetin was tested in a transcriptomic analysis for genotoxicity in liver and small intestine of mice. Quercetin (0.33%) supplemented to a high-fat diet was administered to mice during 12 weeks and compared with high-fat diet feeding. Serum ALT and AST levels revealed no indications for hepatotoxicity. General microarray pathway analysis of liver and small intestinal tissue samples showed no regulation of genotoxicity related pathways. In addition, analysis of DNA damage pathways in these samples, also did not point at genotoxicity. Furthermore, comparison with a published classifier set of transcripts for identifying genotoxic compounds did not reveal any similarities with the regulation of these classifier set of transcripts by quercetin, except for two of the transcripts which were regulated in opposite direction. Available microarray datasets of known genotoxic compounds, 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in mice were taken along as positive controls for comparison, and indeed showed genotoxic properties (regulation of genotoxic related genes) in the analyses. This transcriptomic study showed that supplementation with quercetin at ~350 mg/kg bw/day for 12 weeks in mice gave no indications of quercetin-induced genotoxicity in liver and small intestine.

Project description:We examined the effect of quercetin on the gene expression and function of epididymal adipose tissue (EAT) in Western diet-induced obese mice. Quercetin suppressed the increase in the number of macrophages and the decrease in the ratio of CD4+ to CD8+ T cells in EAT, and the elevation of plasma leptin and TNFα levels in mice fed the Western diet. Comprehensive gene expression analysis revealed that quercetin suppressed gene expression associated with the accumulation and activation of immune cells, including macrophages and lymphocytes in EAT. It also improved the expression of the oxidative stress-sensitive transcription factor NFκB, NADPH oxidases, and antioxidant enzymes. Quercetin markedly increased gene expression associated with mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial DNA Quercetin most likely universally suppresses the accumulation and activation of immune cells, including anti-inflammatory cells, whereas it specifically increased gene expression associated with mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Suppression of oxidative stress and NFκB activity likely contributed to the prevention of the accumulation and activation of immune cells and resulting chronic inflammation.

Project description:The aim of the study was to investigate hepatic gene expression profiles differentially regulated by the APOE genotype in gene targeted replacement mice. The APOE4 genotype is associated with increased mortality in the elderly and is an independent risk factor for age-dependent chronic diseases. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms and molecular targets involved in the APOE4-risk association. As APOE is centrally involved in lipid and cholesterol metabolism and in large part is produced in the liver, we analyzed hepatic RNA profiles of APOE4- and APOE3-expressing mice. 2 groups of 5 animals with 1 liver extract per animal. Mice were homozygous for a human APOE3 or APOE4 gene targeted replacement of the endogenous mouse Apoe gene (B6.129P2-Apoetm2(APOE*3)Mae N8 or B6.129P2-Apoetm3(APOE*4)Mae N8, Taconic Transgenic ModelsM-bM-^DM-", http://www.taconic.com/wmspage.cfm?parm1=2542), purchased at the age of 6-8 weeks, strain C57BL/6, 3 months old at the performance of the microarray, 6 weeks on a high-fat diet containing 41% energy from milk fat and 2 g/kg cholesterol.
