Summary Genetical metabolomics [metabolite profiling combined with quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis] has been proposed as a new tool to identify loci that control metabolite abundances. This concept was evaluated in a case study with the model tree Populus. Using HPLC, the peak abundances were analyzed of 15 closely related flavonoids present in apical tissues of two full-sib poplar families, Populus deltoides cv. S9-2 · P. nigra cv. Ghoy and P. deltoides cv. S9-2 · P. trichocarpa cv. V24, and correlation and QTL analysis were used to detect flux control points in flavonoid biosynthesis. Four robust metabolite quantitative trait loci (mQTL), associated with rate-limiting steps in flavonoid biosynthesis, were mapped. Each mQTL was involved in the flux control to one or two flavonoids. Based on the identities of the affected metabolites and the flavonoid pathway structure, a tentative function was assigned to three of these mQTL, and the corresponding candidate genes were mapped. The data indicate that the combination of metabolite profiling with QTL analysis is a valuable tool to identify control points in a complex metabolic pathway of closely related compounds. Keywords: poplar, flavonoids, metabolite profiling, correlation analysis, mQTL, genetical metabolomics.

  • Evaluation of Anticancer Activities of Phenolic Compounds In
    EVALUATION OF ANTICANCER ACTIVITIES OF PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS IN BLUEBERRIES AND MUSCADINE GRAPES by WEIGUANG YI (Under the Direction of CASIMIR C. AKOH) ABSTRACT Research has shown that diets rich in phenolic compounds may be associated with lower risk of several chronic diseases including cancer. This study systematically evaluated the bioactivities of phenolic compounds in blueberries and muscadine grapes, and assessed their potential cell growth inhibition and apoptosis induction effects using two colon cancer cell lines (HT-29 and Caco-2), and one liver cancer cell line (HepG2). In addition, the absorption of blueberry anthocyanin extracts was evaluated using Caco-2 human intestinal cell monolayers. Polyphenols in three blueberry cultivars (Briteblue, Tifblue and Powderblue), and four cultivars of muscadine (Carlos, Ison, Noble, and Supreme) were extracted and freeze dried. The extracts were further separated into phenolic acids, tannins, flavonols, and anthocyanins using a HLB cartridge and LH20 column. In both blueberries and muscadine grapes, some individual phenolic acids and flavonoids were identified by HPLC with more than 90% purity in anthocyanin fractions. The dried extracts and fractions were added to the cell culture medium to test for cell growth inhibition and induction of apoptosis. Polyphenols from both blueberries and muscadine grapes had significant inhibitory effects on cancer cell growth. The phenolic acid fraction showed relatively lower bioactivities with 50% inhibition at 0.5-3 µg/mL. The intermediate bioactivities were observed in the flavonol and tannin fractions. The greatest inhibitory effect among all four fractions was from the anthocyanin fractions in the three cell lines. Cell growth was significantly inhibited more than 50% by the anthocyanin fractions at concentrations of 15-300 µg/mL.

  • Water-Soluble Components of Pinus Pinaster Wood
    PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLE bioresources.com Water-Soluble Components of Pinus pinaster Wood Enma Conde,a,b Wenwen Fang,b Jarl Hemming,b Stefan Willför,b Andrés Moure,a Herminia Domínguez,a and Juan Carlos Parajó a,* Aqueous fractionation of wood has been proposed as a suitable processing method for biorefineries. When treatments are performed under low severity conditions, water-soluble components (which could be detrimental in further processing stages) are removed, whereas polysaccharides, lignin, and other water-insoluble constituents remain in solid phase with little alteration. In order to explore the presence of added-value products in aqueous extracts from Pinus pinaster wood, different samples (heartwood and sapwood with and without knots) were extracted with water at 130 to 140 ºC, and the resulting solutions were assayed for yield and composition (by GC-FID, GC-MS, and HPLC). The major extract components, such as polysaccharide-derived products, simple phenolics, stilbenes, lignans, flavonoids, organic acids, jubaviones, steryl esters, and triglycerides, were identified and quantified. In order to assess a possible application of the extracts, their antioxidant activity was measured using the Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity assay.

Both in vitro and in vivo studies have shown potential anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-viral, and antioxidant activities associated with these compounds. Previously published research has shown that the anti- cancer effects of flavonoids on BRCA2 deficient cells can be attributed to a PARP inhibitory mechanism. Therefore, thirteen structurally similar flavonoids were screened and identified as PARP inhibitory flavonoids. Seven different cell lines: Chinese hamster lung V79 cells, its BRCA2 deficient derivative V-C8 cells, gene corrected V-C8 cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) wild type cells, rad51D deficient CHO cells (51D1), Human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (DLD-1), and their BRCA2 knockout cells (DLD1 BRCA2-/- ) were used to assess the degree of synthetic lethality due to PARP inhibition. Colony formation and doubling time assays identified selective toxicity in DNA repair deficient cells for the flavonoids Kaempferol, Myricetin, Quercetin, Theaflavin and Epigallocatechin gallate. A Sister Chromatid Exchange (SCE) assay indicated Kaempferol, Myricetin, Quercetin Theaflavin and Epigallocatechin gallate exhibited a marked increase in SCE rate, which is indicative of PARP inhibition.

  • Flavonoid Biosynthesis 21221.Pdf
    Flavonoid Biosynthesis – https://www.kegg.jp/kegg-bin/highlight_pathway?scale=1.0&map=map00941&keyword=flavonoids Flavonoids are a major class of plant secondary metabolites that serves a multitude of functions including pigments and antioxidant activity. Flavonoids are synthesized from phenylpropanoid derivatives by condensation with malonyl- CoA. For example, condensation of p-coumaroyl-CoA (C6-C3) with three malonyl-CoA (C3) molecules results in naringenin chalcone with a diphenylpropane (C6-C3-C6) unit, which is converted to naringenin with the flavone (2-phenylchromen-4-one) backbone by conjugate ring closure. These and further modifications yield a variety of structural forms including chalcones, flavanones, dihyroflavonols, and flavans, anthocyanins, flavones and flavonols, and isoflavonoids. (Phenylpropanoid Biosynthesis) -> [1,2] 1) Cinnamoyl-CoA -> [1,2] 1) chalcone synthase -> Pinocembrin chalcone -> chalcone isomerase -> Pinocembrin -> [1,2,3] 1) Pinostrobin OR 2) flavone synthase I -> Chrysin OR 3) naringenin 3- dioxygenase -> Pinobanksin -> [1,2] 1) flavonol synthase -> Galangin OR 2) Pinobanksin 3-O- acetate OR 2) trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase -> p-Coumaroyl-CoA -> [1,2,3,4,5,6] 1) chalcone synthase -> isoliquiritigenin -> [1,2] 1) Butein -> chalcone isomerase -> Butin -> naringenin 3-dioxygenase -> Fustin -> bifunctional dihydroflavonol 4-reductase/flavanone 4- reductase <-> Fisetinidol-4beta-ol <-> Fustin OR 2) chalcone isomerase -> Liquiritgenin [1,2,3,4] 1) flavonoid 3’-monooxygenase -> Butin -> naringenin 3-dioxygenase
