The effect of onion exposure on gene expression profiles in intestinal Caco-2 cells

ABSTRACT: Background: Human intestinal tissue samples are barely accessible to study potential health benefits of nutritional compounds. Numbers of animals used in animal trials, however, need to be minimalized. Therefore, in this study we explored the applicability of an in vitro model, namely human intestinal Caco-2 cells, to study the effect of food compounds on (intestinal) health. In vitro digested yellow (YOd) and white onion extracts (WOd) were used as model food compounds and transcriptomics was applied to obtain more insight into their mode of actions in the intestinal cells. Methods: Caco-2 cells were incubated with in vitro digested onion extracts for 6 hours, total RNA was extracted and Affymterix Human Gene 1.1 ST arrays were used to analyze the gene expression profiles. To identify onion-induced gene expression profiles in Caco-2 cells, digested yellow onion and white onion samples were compared to a digest control samples. Results: We found that yellow onion (n=5586, p<0.05) had a more pronounced effect on gene expression than white onion (n=3688, p<0.05). However, a substantial number of genes (n=3281, p<0.05) were affected by both onion variants in the same direction. Pathway analyses revealed that mainly processes related to oxidative stress, and especially the Keap1-Nrf2 pathway, were affected by onions. Our data fit with previous in vivo studies showing that the beneficial effects of onions are mostly linked to their antioxidant properties. Conclusion: our data indicate that the in vitro Caco-2 intestinal model can be used to determine modes of action of nutritional compounds and can thereby reduce the number of animals used in conventional nutritional intervention studies.

Effects of digested onion extracts on intestinal gene expression: an interspecies comparison using different intestine models

Project description:Applicability of in vitro (human Caco-2 cells) and ex vivo intestine models (rat precision cut intestine slices and the pig in-situ small intestinal segment perfusion (SISP) technique) to study the effect of food compounds. In vitro digested yellow (YOd) and white onion extracts (WOd) were used as model food compounds and transcriptomics was applied to obtain more insight into which extent mode of actions depend on the model.

Effects of digested onion extracts on intestinal gene expression using rat intestine slices

Project description:Rat small intestine precision cut slices were exposed for 6 hours to in vitro digested yellow (YOd) and white onion extracts (WOd) that was followed by transcriptomics analysis. The digestion was performed to mimic the digestion that in vivo takes place in the stomach and small intestine. The transcriptomics response of the rat small intestine precision cut slices was compared to that of human Caco-2 cells and the pig in-situ small intestinal segment perfusion. The microarray data for the human Caco-2 cells (GSE83893) and the pig in-situ small intestinal segment perfusion (GSE83908) have been submitted separately from the current data on rat intestine. The goal was to obtain more insight into to which extent mode of actions depend on the experimental model. A main outcome was that each of the three models pointed to the same mode of action: induction of oxidative stress and particularly the Keap1-Nrf2 pathway.

Effects of digested onion extracts on intestinal gene expression using rat intestine slices

Project description:Rat small intestine precision cut slices were exposed for 6 hours to in vitro digested yellow (YOd) or white onion extracts (WOd) that was followed by transcriptomics analysis. The digestion was performed to mimic the digestion that in vivo takes place in the saliva, stomach and small intestine. A main question was to which extent the outcome of the biological interpretation of the transcription analysis (pathway analysis) depend on the model used. One outcome was that mainly processes related to oxidative stress, and especially the Keap1-Nrf2 pathway, were affected by onions in all three models.

The effect of dietary fibre exposure on gene expression profiles in intestinal Caco-2 cells

Project description:Background: Human intestinal tissue samples are barely accessible to study potential health benefits of nutritional compounds. Dietary fibres have been descirbed to be beneficial for intestinal health. Therefore, in this study we explored the applicability of an in vitro model, namely human intestinal Caco-2 cells, to study the effect of dietary fibres on intestinal health. Transcriptomics was applied to obtain more insight into their mode of actions in the intestinal cells. Methods: Caco-2 cells were stimulated with 500 ug/ml dietary fibres and the maximal observed LPS contamination to serve as background control for 6 hours, total RNA was extracted and Affymterix Human Gene 1.1 ST arrays were used to analyze the gene expression profiles. To identify dietary fibre induced gene expression profiles in dietary fibre gene responses were compared to medium samples. Furthermore, to analyse differentiatlly affected pathways Ingenuite Pathway Analysis was employed. Results: Pathway analysis revealed a distinct separation between the dietary fibres. GOS and beta-glucan oat medium viscosity affected transcription of a lower amount of genes (gene cut-off p<0.05) and gen transcription changes suggest an increase in vesicle transport and altered cholesterol regulation. On the other hand, the other dietary fibres differentially regulated a larger numbers of genes (gene cut-off p<0.05) and all appeared related to immune responses. We observed an increase in intracellular and extracellular anti-bacterial pathways and production of cytokines specifically aimed at communication with the adaptive immune system. Conclusion: GOS and beta-glucan oat medium viscosity appeared to induce intestinal epithelial communication with the body, whereas the other dietary fibres appeared recognized as PAMP and induce epithelial cells to interact with the immune system.

Physiological, biochemical and transcriptional analysis of onion bulbs during storage

Project description:Physiological and biochemical changes occur in onion (Allium cepa L.) bulbs during the transition from dormancy to sprout suppression and subsequent sprout growth. These include changes in the concentrations of flavor compounds, carbohydrates, mineral elements and plant growth regulators (PGRs). Detailed analyses of these changes and the impact of different post-harvest techniques, designed to prolong storage life, have not been undertaken. We developed the first onion oligonucleotide microarray to determine differential gene expression in onion during curing and storage, with transcriptional changes supporting biochemical and physiological analyses.

Transcription profiling of human Caco-2 cell differentiation by ascorbate-stabilized quercetin

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 ÂµM 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 AffymetrixÂ® GeneChipsÂ®, 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.
