This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. www.mnf-journal.com Page 3 Molecular Nutrition & Food Research Methods and results: Models with abnormal lipid metabolism were established both in rats and human hepatocytes. Hepatic steatosis was detected by H&E and oil red O staining. The structure of endoplasmic reticulum was visualized by transmission electron microscopy. The expressions of X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1), protein kinase-like ER kinase (PERK), sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP1c) and lipogenic enzymes were determined by real-time PCR and western blot analysis. SFN lowered the content of triglyceride and cholesterol. SFN alleviated the swelling of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and decreased the perimeter of ER. SFN significantly decreased the expressions of acetyl CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1), stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) and fatty acid synthase. SFN inhibited SREBP1c by blocking the PERK. Meanwhile, SFN suppressed ACC1 and SCD1 via blocking the formation of splicing-type XBP1. The key roles of XBP1 and SREBP1c in SFN-reduced lipid droplets were confirmed by a timed sequence of measurement according to time points. Conclusion: SFN improved abnormal lipid metabolism via both ER stress -dependent and -independent pathways. Introduction The Westernization of dietary patterns in China may lead to the excessive intake of fats and accumulation of lipids in the body which can cause non-alcoholic fat liver disease (NAFLD), diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, etc. [1-2]. In addition to the physical activities, the dietary habit is more critical way to be adjusted. NAFLD, characteristic of hepatic lipid accumulation, results from an imbalance between lipid synthesis, storage, oxidation, and/or secretion, and eventually triggers hepatitis hepatocirrhosis and even hepatoma [3]. Lipids such as triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol (TC) are stored in the form of lipid droplets (LDs) in hepatocytes. Lipids are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) together with the folding of membrane proteins and secretory proteins. An overload of unfolded or misfolded proteins may result in excessive fatty acids retention in the ER followed by the ER stress (ERS) which in turn aggravates the lipid accumulation. Long term lipid accumulation in the non-adipose cells i.e. hepatocytes, could exceed the capacity of the cells to manage lipids and cause further chronic ERS and lipotoxicity [4]. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. www.mnf-journal.com Page 4 Molecular Nutrition & Food Research Mono-unsaturated fatty acids have the ability to attenuate acute ERS induced by palmitate, while excess fatty acid exposure over long periods of time can exceed the capacity, especially of non-adipose cells. For example, short-term treatment of cells with oleic acid increases very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) and triglyceride secretion, whereas prolonged incubation of cells with oleic acid can lead to ERS and of VLDL secretion [5]. When ERS occurs, the ER initiates the unfolded protein response (UPR) through the actions of canonical sensors IRE1, PERK, and ATF6 to restore ER homeostasis. The excessive accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins stimulates the ERS sensors to uncouple from GRP78 [6-7]. Among these sensors, IRE1 a ribonuclease that splices uXBP1 transcripts into the active sXBP1. Then sXBP1 is translocated into the nucleus to promote the transcription of lipogenic enzymes such as acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1) and stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) [8]. In addition, PERK regulates fatty acid synthase (FAS) via sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP1c) [9]. In the past few decades, plant-derived bioactives have been demonstrated to have the potential to prevent lipids-associated disorders. An epidemiological study involving 1938 healthy adults showed that intake of adequate phytochemicals was beneficial, lowering body weight and body fat [10]. Sulforaphane (SFN), an isothiocyanate found in cruciferous vegetables, especially in broccoli, was reported to regulate a number of metabolic enzymes including phase I & phase II metabolic enzymes, and lipid metabolism-related enzymes/proteins [11]. Oral administration of the sulfur-radish extract and of sulforaphane after carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver injury both decreased the serum level of alanine aminotransferase reduced the necrotic zones, inhibited lipid peroxidation, and induced phase 2 enzymes without affecting cytochrome P450-2E1 (CYP2E1). [12]. Moreover, long-term consumption of whole broccoli counters NAFLD development enhanced by a Western diet as well as hepatic tumorigenesis induced by DEN in B6C3F1 mice. [13] Therefore, we further hypothesized that SFN presents a preventive effect on the abnormal lipid metabolism via ERS mechanisms. In the present study, high-lipid induced abnormal lipid metabolism models were established both in vitro and in vivo to explore the protective effects of SFN and focusing on the ER-dependent/independent mechanisms.

Kensler1,5,6 Abstract One of several challenges in design of clinical chemoprevention trials is the selection of the dose, formulation, and dose schedule of the intervention agent. Therefore, a cross-over clinical trial was undertaken to compare the bioavailability and tolerability of sulforaphane from two of broccoli sprout–derived beverages: one glucoraphanin-rich (GRR) and the other sulforaphane-rich (SFR). Sulfor- aphane was generated from glucoraphanin contained in GRR by gut microflora or formed by treatment of GRR with myrosinase from daikon (Raphanus sativus) sprouts to provide SFR. Fifty healthy, eligible participants were requested to refrain from crucifer consumption and randomized into two treatment arms. The study design was as follows: 5-day run-in period, 7-day administration of beverages, 5-day washout period, and 7-day administration of the opposite intervention. Isotope dilution mass spectrometry was used to measure levels of glucoraphanin, sulforaphane, and sulforaphane thiol conjugates in urine samples collected daily throughout the study. Bioavailability, as measured by urinary excretion of sulforaphane and its metabolites (in approximately 12-hour collections after dosing), was substantially greater with the SFR (mean ¼ 70%) than with GRR (mean ¼ 5%) beverages.

Stoner Received: 24 September 2019; Accepted: 2 October 2019; Published: 6 October 2019 Abstract: There is robust epidemiological evidence for the beneficial effects of broccoli consumption on health, many of them clearly mediated by the isothiocyanate sulforaphane. Present in the plant as its precursor, glucoraphanin, sulforaphane is formed through the actions of myrosinase, a β-thioglucosidase present in either the plant tissue or the mammalian microbiome. Since first isolated from broccoli and demonstrated to have cancer chemoprotective properties in rats in the early 1990s, over 3000 publications have described its efficacy in rodent disease models, underlying mechanisms of action or, to date, over 50 clinical trials examining pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and disease mitigation. This review evaluates the current state of knowledge regarding the relationships between formulation (e.g., plants, sprouts, beverages, supplements), bioavailability and efficacy, and the doses of glucoraphanin and/or sulforaphane that have been used in pre-clinical and clinical studies.

  • Phase II Trial of Effects of the Nutritional Supplement Sulforaphane on Doxorubicin-Associated Cardiac Dysfunction
    1.9.2019 Page 1 of 20 Phase II trial of effects of the Nutritional Supplement Sulforaphane on Doxorubicin-Associated Cardiac Dysfunction 1.9.2019 Page 2 of 20 Specific Aim Determine whether nutritional supplement sulforaphane (SFN) is safe to administer to breast cancer patients undergoing doxorubicin (DOX) chemotherapy. We have identified biomarkers for presymptomatic detection of DOX cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients and reported that SFN alleviates DOX-induced cardiac toxicity while maintaining its anti-tumor activity in an animal model of breast cancer. SFN is in various stages of preclinical and clinical trials against different types of cancer but its safety and effects on identified markers have never been tested in patients treated with DOX. Sulforaphane is a generally recognized as a safe (GRAS) compound and this compound is currently in 61 different clinical trials including, Cystic Fibrosis, COPD, Melanoma, Breast and prostate cancer etc. (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=sulforaphane&pg=1). Avmacol, (Nutramax Laboratories Consumer Care, Inc. Edgewood, MD 21040) an over-the-counter dietary supplement containing broccoli seed and sprout extracts that is rich with sulforaphane, will be used in this study. This is an FDA regulated trial using an investigational drug under IND 141682. Dose considerations were made on the basis of the ongoing clinical trial “Effects of Avmacol® in the Oral Mucosa of Patients Following Curative Treatment for Tobacco-related Head and Neck Cancer” (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03268993). Furthermore, Avmacol has never been tested as an adjuvant to try and protect the heart from DOXs harmful effects. Therefore, we are proposing to do an early-clinical trial to assess SFN safety in DOX-treated patients and possibly prevent DOX-cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients.

Gomez Thesis Director: Ah-AN Kong Curcumin (CUR) and Sulforaphane (SFN) have shown remarkable cancer chemopreventive effects in numerous studies and combinations of low doses of chemopreventive agents can reduce toxicity while augmenting efficacy. The first part of the thesis investigated the chemotherapeutic effects elicited by a combination of CUR and SFN on human hepatocarcinoma cells. The combination treatment- mediated effects on phase II/antioxidant enzymatic induction and antioxidant response element (ARE) was investigated. It was proposed that the combination of CUR and SFN could synergistically enhance the induction of ARE and the nuclear E2-factor related factor 2 (Nrf2)-mediated enzymes. Low doses of CUR and SFN significantly induced the expression of Nrf2-mediated enzymes, HO-1 and UGT1A1, promoted nuclear translocation of Nrf2– a key regulator of phase II detoxifying /antioxidant enzymes – and synergistically induced the ARE luciferase activity. Chemical inhibitors of mRNA and protein synthesis affected the combination therapy- mediated transcriptional regulation of both HO-1 and UGT1A1. Synergism of CUR and SFN was evident at low concentrations.
