Accumulation Characteristics of Flavonoids and Contribution to Antioxidant Capacity in Wild and Cultivated Kiwifruits

ABSTRACT:

This study aimed to clarify flavonoids accumulation characteristics and their contribution to antioxidant capacity in wild type (WT) kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) and three cultivated varieties (Xuxiang, XX; Yazui, YZ; Hongyang, HY). Integrating untargeted metabolomics and traditional biochemical analysis, we compared morphological, biochemical, and metabolic differences, analyzed flavonoid profiles, and screened core flavonoids linked to antioxidant activity. Results showed cultivated varieties exhibited superior fruit shape, sweetness (TSS/SS), total phenols, flavonoids, and DPPH scavenging activity (HY highest). Flavonoid metabolic profiles differed significantly: WT enriched stress-resistant flavonoids (e.g., Leucocyanidin), while cultivated varieties showed specialized accumulation (e.g., flavonol glycosides in HY). Fourteen core flavonoids (e.g., Kuwanon D, Hyperoside) strongly correlated with antioxidant activity were identified. This study reveals domestication’s impact on kiwifruit metabolism, providing theoretical support for directed breeding of high-nutrition varieties and wild germplasm utilization.

The function of FtMYBs in regulating the synthesis of flavonoids in Fagopyrum tartaricum under drought stress

Project description:Flavonoid is an important secondary metabolite, which makes an important contribution to plant resistance to abiotic stress and human health. Fagopyrum tataricum (Tartary buckwheat) itself contains more flavonoids, so exploring the regulation of Tartary buckwheat flavonoid synthesis can provide a solid theoretical basis for the cultivation of new Tartary buckwheat varieties with high nutrition. In this paper, we studied the role of FtMYBs in regulating the biosynthesis of flavonoids in Tartary buckwheat.

Examining the genes and enzymes responsible for flavonoid level modification during fruit maturation in Chinese raspberry “Rubus chingii Hu”

Project description:Rubus chingii Hu, indigenous to China, is very rich in flavonoids. With the exception of anthocyanin, fruit flavonoids were much higher than most berries including other raspberry species, which partly contributed to its high phenolics and antioxidant capability. In contrast to other raspberries, anthocyanin and other flavonoids decreased as fruit matured. We investigated four typical phases of fruit maturation using transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. The results indicate that the down-regulation of phenylpropanoid, flavonoid and anthocyanin biosynthesis are responsible for the metabolic decrease. The down-regulation of RcCHS (CL6140.Contig5) and RcCHI (Unigene14858 and Unigene22344) at gene and protein levels were associated with decreases of naringenin/naringenin chalcone respectively. Down-regulation of RcLAR (CL9527.Contig3) at gene and protein levels was consistent with decreases of afzelechin/epiafzelechin, catechin/epicatechin, and gallocatechin/epigallocatechin. However, multiple genes/proteins involved in the enzymatic pathways were divergent and differently regulated, e.g. Rc4CL genes/proteins were down-regulated while Rc4CL-like was maintained at constantly low levels.

A gut microbial metabolite of dietary polyphenols reverses obesity-driven hepatic steatosis

Project description:The molecular mechanisms by which dietary fruits and vegetables confer cardiometabolic benefits remain poorly understood. Historically, these beneficial properties have been attributed to the antioxidant activity of flavonoids. Here, we reveal that the host metabolic benefits associated with flavonoid consumption actually hinge on gut microbial metabolism. However, flavonoids are consumed in a largely glycosylated form, rendering them poorly available for small intestinal absorption and subjecting them to microbial metabolism in the colon. We show that a single gut microbial flavonoid catabolite is sufficient to reduce diet-induced cardiometabolic disease burden in mice. Dietary supplementation with elderberry extract attenuated obesity and continuous delivery of the catabolite 4-hydroxphenylacetic acid was sufficient to reverse hepatic steatosis. Analysis of human gut metagenomes revealed that under one percent contains a flavonol catabolic pathway, underscoring the rarity of this process. Our study will impact the design of dietary and probiotic interventions to complement traditional cardiometabolic treatment strategies.

Targeting Cellular Senescence to Enhance Human Endometrial Stromal Cells’ Decidualization and Inhibit Their Migration

Project description:Cellular senescence leads to stable cell cycle arrest and an inflammatory senescence-associated secretory phenotype that varies with stressor and cell type. To mitigate these effects and improve health, senotherapeutics (e.g., senolytics and senomorphics) have been developed. Senescent-like endometrial stromal cells (eSCs) lining the uterus of patients with endometriosis and infertility are proposed to impair decidualization, a differentiation process required for uterine receptivity in humans. Quercetin, a natural flavonoid senolytic, dramatically improves decidualization and reduces endometriosis in rodent models. However, little is known about the comparative effects of various senotherapeutics on eSCs. Using menstrual effluent-derived eSCs, we evaluated the effects of flavonoid and non-flavonoid compounds on eSC functions associated with endometriosis, aiming to identify optimal senotherapeutics for future clinical trials. Among flavonoids tested, all senolytics (quercetin, fisetin, and luteolin) and kaempferol, a senomorphic, significantly improved decidualization without cytotoxicity. Although non-flavonoids exhibited notable cytotoxicity, dasatinib, but neither ABT-737 nor navitoclax, enhanced decidualization. Flavonoid senotherapeutics and dasatinib significantly inhibited eSC migration. Mechanistic studies revealed that all flavonoids and dasatinib suppressed AKT phosphorylation and upregulated p53 expression. Notably, only quercetin and fisetin reduced ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Furthermore, flavonoid-senolytics and dasatinib consistently eliminated senescent eSCs. These findings support future studies to assess the therapeutic potential of in vivo supplementation with flavonoid senolytics on eSC function using menstrual effluent.

Metabolic profiling and transcriptome analysis provide insights into the accumulation of flavonoids in chayote fruit during storage

Project description:Chayote (Sechium edule) fruits are rich in flavonoids, folate, and low-calorie food. However, studies about the flavonoids and regulatory mechanism of flavonoid synthesis in chayote fruits was still unclear. In present study, a transcriptome analysis and metabolite profiling of chayote fruits at three different storage stages were conducted to explore the flavonoid compositions and gene expression associated with flavonoid synthesis. Through the UPLC-MS/MS analysis, a total of 57 flavonoid compounds were detected. Of these, 42 flavonoid glycosides were significantly differential accumulation in chayote fruits at three different storage stages. Many genes associated with flavonoid synthesis were differentially expressed in chayote fruits at three different storage stages through RNA-seq analysis, including structural genes and some TFs. There was a high correlation between RNA-seq analysis and metabolite profiling, and the expression level of candidate genes in the flavonoid synthesis pathway were consistent with the dynamic changes of flavonoids. In addition, one R2R3-MYB transcription factor, FSG0057100, was defined as the critical regulatory gene of flavonoid synthesis. Furthermore, we treated chayote fruits during storage with phenylalanine, and the results show exogenous phenylalanine applications might promote the flavonoid synthesis. Phenylalanine is a effective additive to maintain or improve the total content flavonoids in chayote fruit during storage, can apply the phenylalanine in the postharvest storage of chayote. The above results not only make us better understand the molecular mechanism of flavonoid synthesis in chayote fruits, but also contribute to the promotion and application of chayote products.

Bidirectional feedforward regulatory loop of Dicer-like 4 and flavonoids causes floral bicolor patterning in petunia and dahlia

Project description:Floral bicolor pigmentation is caused by naturally occurring RNA interference (RNAi) in some cultivars of petunia and dahlia. In both plants, the chalcone synthase gene is highly expressed only in the pigmented region of bicolor petals. However, it remains unknown why RNAi is induced only in the unpigmented region. To elucidate the mechanism of this bicolor pattern formation, we examined the dicing activity of Dicer-like 4 (DCL4), which produces small interfering RNAs essential for RNAi. We showed that the crude extract in the pigmented region inhibits DCL4 activity, but not when flavonoids were depleted from the extract. Moreover, we showed the inhibitory activity was associated with flavonoid aglycons. The in vivo dicing activities were detected in the intact protoplasts prepared from the unpigmented region but not from the pigmented region. These results suggest that in the unpigmented region, flavonoids that inhibit DCL4 are not synthesized, and RNAi is maintained, whereas in the pigmented region, DCL4 (RNAi) is inhibited by flavonoids and anthocyanin biosynthesis is maintained. The results of small RNA-seq analyses of bicolor petals and exogenous flavonoid application experiments support this conclusion. Therefore, a clear bicolor pattern is generated by the bidirectional feedforward mechanism of antagonizing DCL4 and flavonoids.

A flavonoid-attracted Aeromonas spp enhances plant Na_H1 resistance without cry-for-help [Bacteria_RNA-seq]

Project description:Flavonoids are stress-inducible metabolites important for plant-microbe interactions. In contrast to their well-known function in initiating rhizobia nodulation in legumes, it is unclear whether and how flavonoids may contribute to plant stress resistance through affecting non-nodulating bacteria in the root microbiome. Here we show how flavonoids preferentially attracts Aeromonadaceae in Arabidopsis thaliana root microbiome and how flavonoid-dependent recruitment of an Aeromona spp. results in enhanced plant Na_H1 resistance.

Effets of plant compounds on estrogen receptor positive breast cancer cell line MCF-7

Project description:This study was designed to determine the effects of plant derived compounds on the transcriptome of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. Phytoestrogens are compounds produced by plants that possess weak estrogenic activity. They can be found in a wide variety of plants, including fruits and vegetables, but are most abundant in leguminous plants. Legumes are consumed in almost every diet throughout the world, and in addition to the seeds, many other parts of the plant are also edible, including the pods of some varieties. Soybeans have been demonstrated to contain high concentrations of the isoflavones daidzein and genistein, which are re-sponsible for many of the health benefits of soy. Besides isoflavonoids, flavonoids also exert estrogenic activity, but usually at a much lower level of activity compared to that of isoflavonoids. Also, some flavonoids, including kaempferol and quercetin, canexhibit antiestrogenic activity, with several legumes being a source of these flavo-noids. Coumestrol, a coumestan with high estrogenic activity in cell and animal as-says, is also present in several legume seeds and sprouts. These underutilized plant compounds could hold previously unknown potential for antioxidant activity, anti-inflammation activity, cholesterol lowering ability, and even anticancer activity. The goal of the present study was to identify the effects of plant derived compounds on estrogen receptor positive cell line to determine if the compound possess estrogenic or anti-estrogenic activity, thereby highlighting potential implications on human health through diet.
