Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THDC) Degrades Rapidly under Oxidative Stress but Can Be Stabilized by Acetyl Zingerone to Enhance Collagen Production and Antioxidant Effects

ABSTRACT: Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THDC) is an L-ascorbic acid precursor with improved stability and ability to penetrate the epidermis. The stability and transdermal penetration of THDC, however, may be compromised by the oxidant-rich environment of human skin. In this study, we show that THDC is a poor antioxidant that degrades rapidly when exposed to singlet oxygen. This degrada-tion, however, was prevented by combination with acetyl zingerone (AZ) as a stabilizing antiox-idant. As a standalone ingredient, THDC led to unexpected activation of type I interferon signaling, but this pro-inflammatory effect was blunted in the presence of AZ. Moreover, the combination of THDC and AZ increased expression of genes associated with phospholipid homeostasis and keratinocyte differentiation, along with repression of MMP1 and MMP7 expression, inhibition of MMP enzyme activity, and increased production of collagen proteins by dermal fibroblasts. Lastly, whereas THDC alone reduced viability of keratinocytes exposed to oxidative stress, this effect was completely abrogated by the addition of AZ to THDC. These results show that AZ is an effective antioxidant stabilizer of THDC and that combination of these products may improve ascorbic acid delivery. This provides a step towards reaching the full potential of ascorbate as an active ingredient in topical preparations.

The zingerone analog, acetyl zingerone, bolsters matrisome synthesis, inhibits MMPs, and represses IL-17A target gene expression [Experiment 1]

Project description:Zingerone (Z) is a phenolic alkanone derived from natural sources with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Acetyl zingerone (AZ) is a newly designed molecule that shares structural features with Z but is expected to have improved stability and antioxidant function. This study utilized microarrays to compare effects of Z and AZ on gene expression in reconstituted human epidermis. Both Z and AZ increased Notch pathway gene expression (NOTCH1, MAML3) and decreased expression of genes linked to extracellular matrix disassembly (MMP3, CTSV) and reactive oxygen species metabolism (PMAIP1, ARG2). Although Z and AZ each inhibited in vitro MMP-1, MMP-3 and MMP-12 activity, inhibition of MMP-3 and MMP-12 was greater with AZ. Moreover, AZ led to more consistent increases in the expression of genes encoding collagens (COL11A2), proteoglycans (VCAN) and ECM glycoproteins (SPARC). Finally, AZ opposed gene expression patterns associated with fibroblast senescence, keratinocyte differentiation, and IL-17A stimulation. These effects were AZ-specific and not replicated by Z. These results show that AZ improves extracellular matrix integrity with retinoid-like effects on differentiation and inflammation. Our findings provide rationale for clinical studies to understand benefits of AZ in the treatment or prevention of skin aging, or potentially, as a treatment for other human skin diseases. Microarray analyses was performed to characterize global gene expression responses to zingerone (Z) (50 μg/ml) in EpiDerm FT (RHE) tissue cultures.

Gene expression between dry and imbibed seeds in vitamin C defective (vtc) mutants and wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:In the dry state, orthodox seeds have little antioxidant capacity, relying on reduced glutathione and tocochromanols for antioxidant defences rather than ascorbate or ascorbate peroxidase (APX). Ascorbate is synthesised de novo within a few hours of imbibition resulting in rapid increases in the ascorbate pool in the developing embryo. The knock-on effects of enhanced oxidation on embryo development before and after imbibition remain poorly characterised. A T-DNA insertional mutant line (SAIL_769_H05) line was used in these studies together with vtc2-1 mutants that were originally identified in an ethyl-methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis screen. Expression levels of dry seeds and imbibed seeds of the genotypes Col0, vtc2 (EMS) and vtc2.5 (SAIL_769_H05) were quantified using Illumina RNA-seq technology

Impact of oxidative stress on ascorbate biosynthesis in Chlamydomonas via regulation of the VTC2 gene encoding a GDP-l-galactose phosphorylase

Project description:The l-galactose (Smirnoff-Wheeler) pathway represents the major route to l-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) biosynthesis in plants. Arabidopsis thaliana VTC2 and its paralogue VTC5 function as GDP-l-galactose phosphorylases converting GDP-l-galactose to l-galactose-1-P, thus catalyzing the first committed step in the biosynthesis of l-ascorbate. Here we report that the l-galactose pathway of ascorbate biosynthesis described in higher plants is conserved in green algae. The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii genome encodes all the enzymes required for vitamin C biosynthesis via the Smirnoff-Wheeler pathway. We have characterized recombinant C. reinhardtii VTC2 as an active GDP-l-galactose phosphorylase. C. reinhardtii cells exposed to oxidative stress show increased VTC2 mRNA and l-ascorbate levels. We have also shown that enzymatic components of the ascorbate-glutathione system (e.g. ascorbate peroxidase, Mn superoxide dismutase, dehydroascorbate reductase) are up-regulated in response to increased oxidative stress. These results indicate that C. reinhardtii VTC2, like its plant homologs, is a key enzyme in ascorbate biosynthesis in green algae and together with components of the ascorbate recycling system represents the major route in providing protective levels of ascorbate in oxidatively stressed algal cells. Our results suggest that C. reinhardtii cells exposed to oxidative stress conditions produce more ascorbate both by de novo synthesis (Smirnoff-Wheeler pathway) and by recycling via the ascorbate-glutathione cycle.

Expression of Heterologous OsDHAR Gene Improves Glutathione (GSH)-Dependent Antioxidant System and Maintenance of Cellular Redox Status in Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942

Project description:An excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause severe oxidative damage to cellular components in photosynthetic cells. Antioxidant systems, such as the ascorbate-glutathione cycle, regulate redox status in cells to guard against such damage. Dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR, EC 1.8.5.1) catalyzes the glutathione-dependent reduction of oxidized ascorbate (dehydroascorbate) and contains a redox active site and glutathione binding-site. The DHAR gene is important in biological and abiotic stress responses involving reduction of the oxidative damage caused by ROS. In this study, a transgenic microalgae (TA) strain was constructed by cloning the Oryza sativa L. japonica DHAR (OsDHAR) gene controlled by an isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG)-inducible promoter (Ptrc) into the Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 strain of cyanobacteria to study the functional activities of OsDHAR under oxidative stress caused by hydrogen peroxide exposure. OsDHAR expression increased the growth of S. elongatus PCC 7942 under oxidative stress by reducing the levels of hydroperoxides and malondialdehyde (MDA) and mitigating the loss of chlorophyll. DHAR and glutathione S-transferase activity were higher than in the wild-type (WT) strain. Additionally, overexpression of OsDHAR in S. elongatus PCC 7942 greatly increased the glutathione (GSH)/glutathione disulfide (GSSG) ratio compared to ascorbic acid (AsA)/dehydroascorbate (DHA) ratio in the presence or absence of hydrogen peroxide. These results strongly suggest that DHAR attenuates deleterious oxidative effects via the glutathione (GSH)-dependent antioxidant system in cyanobacterial cells. The expression of heterologous OsDHAR in S. elongatus PCC 7942 protected cells from oxidative damage through a GSH-dependent antioxidant system via GSH-dependent reactions at the redox active site and GSH binding site residues during oxidative stress.

Ascorbate oxidation primes rice plants for enhanced defence against root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola through jasmonate/ethylene-activation

Project description:Ascorbic acid (AA) is known to play a vital role in plant growth and detoxification of reactive oxygen species, however little is known about the significance of AA oxidation in plant defence against pathogens. • The role of ascorbate oxidation in rice defence against root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne graminicola, was tested with application of AA, ascorbate oxidase (AO), dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), biosynthesis inhibitors and use of mutants. Transcriptome analysis was done on AO treated plants, and hormone measurements were executed to confirm the results. Biochemical analyses were used to study oxidative stress markers, including accumulation of H2O2, , malondialdehyde and AA/DHA.

Ascorbic acid induces transient global active chromatin remodelling, providing clues for its anti-cancer effect

Project description:In addition to the role of antioxidant, ascorbic acid (reducing Vitamin C) is an important cofactor for Fe2+ and α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) dependent dioxygenases (Fe2+/α-KGDDs) that comprise many diverse enzymes, including collagen prolyl hydroxylases, jmjC (Jumonji C) domain containing histone demethylases, Ten-eleven translocation (TET) 5-methyl cytosine (5mC) dioxygenases, and N6-methyl adenosine (m6A) demethylase FTO and ALKBH5. Ascorbic acid was reported to induce global epigenetic reprogramming. Here we optimized the library construction flow chart of single-stranded DNA profiling method KAS-seq and utilized KAS-seq to profile transient chromatin states changes upon ascorbic acid treatment for 10 min. We identified several critical pathways affected by ascorbic acid treatment, providing some clues for explaining the reported positive impact of anti-cancer, anti-depression, and anti-obesity for taking ascorbic acid.

Ascorbic acid depletion and scorbutic extracellular matrix in mice deficient in endoplasmic reticulum thiol oxidases

Project description:Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) thiol oxidases initiate a disulfide relay to oxidatively-fold secreted proteins. We found that combined loss-of-function mutations in genes encoding the ER thiol oxidases ERO1alpha, ERO1beta and PRDX4, compromised the extracellular matrix in mice and interfered with the intracellular maturation of procollagen. These severe abnormalities were associated with an unexpectedly-modest delay in disulfide bond formation in secreted proteins but a profound, five-fold lower procollagen 4 hydroxyproline content and enhanced cysteinyl sulfenic acid modification of ER proteins. Tissue ascorbic acid content was lower in mutant mice and ascorbic acid supplementation improved procollagen maturation and lowered sulfenic acid content, in vivo. In vitro, the presence of a sulfenic acid donor accelerated the oxidative inactivation of ascorbate by an H2O2 generating system. Compromised ER disulfide relay thus exposes protein thiols to competing oxidation to sulfenic acid, resulting in depletion of ascorbic acid, impaired procollagen proline 4-hydroxylation and a non-canonical form of scurvy. double and triple mutants and wild type
