RESUMO

Radiation exposure poses a significant threat to cellular integrity by inducing DNA damage through the generation of free radicals and reactive oxygen species. Ascorbic acid, particularly its derivative Palmitoyl Ascorbic Acid 2-Glucoside (PA2G), has demonstrated remarkable radioprotective properties. While previous research focused on its pre-irradiation application, this study explores the post-irradiation radiomitigation potential of PA2G. Our findings reveal that post-irradiation treatment with PA2G enhances cell survival and accelerates DNA repair processes, particularly the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) repair pathway. Notably, PA2G treatment reduces the frequency of lethal chromosomal aberrations and micronuclei formation, indicating its ability to enhance the repair of complex DNA lesions. Furthermore, PA2G is shown to play a role in potentially lethal damage repair (PLDR). These radioprotective effects are specific to NHEJ and ATM pathways, as cells deficient in these mechanisms do not benefit from PA2G treatment. This study highlights PA2G as a versatile radioprotector, both pre- and post-irradiation, with significant potential for applications in radiation therapy and protection, offering new insights into its mechanism of action. Further research is required to elucidate the precise molecular mechanisms underlying PA2G's radiomitigation effects and its potential clinical applications.

RESUMO

Light emitting diode (LED) devices emit narrow bands of the blue, green, and red light spectrum rather than the continuous spectrum emitted from sunlight and fluorescent light bulbs. LED devices have become considerably common in society, and the fluence of blue light from LED devices is more intense than other light sources. Previous studies presented that the blue light spectrum may harness potentially inimical genotoxicity. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate this potential cytotoxicity and genotoxicity, as well as identify the mechanism of the cellular effects induced by blue LED light exposure in mammalian cell lines with their DNA repair deficient mutants. Our results demonstrated that blue LED light induced both oxidative stress to cells and cytotoxic and genotoxic effects including reduction of clonogenicity, cell cycle arrest, induction of sister chromatid exchanges, endoreduplicated chromosomes, and increased frequency of HPRT locus mutations. In DNA repair deficient cells, particularly those involving double strand break repair deficiency, cells presented hypersensitivity to blue LED light exposure. Blue LED light also induced chromosome aberrations more in DNA repair deficient cells than wild type cells. The cytotoxicity of blue LED light was reduced by an effective antioxidant, ascorbic acid 2-glucoside, which can suppress blue LED light induced oxidative stress. These results indicated that prolonged, high intensity exposure to blue LED light induces genotoxic stress to cells, and oxidative stress induced by blue LED light is targeting DNA to induce these biological effects.

RESUMO

Fermentative production of L-cysteine has been established using Escherichia coli. In that procedure, thiosulfate is a beneficial sulfur source, whereas repressing sulfate utilization. We first found that thiosulfate decreased transcript levels of genes related to sulfur assimilation, particularly whose expression is controlled by the transcription factor CysB. Therefore, a novel approach, i.e. increment of expression of genes involved in sulfur-assimilation, was attempted for further improvement of L-cysteine overproduction. Disruption of the rppH gene significantly augmented transcript levels of the cysD, cysJ, cysM and yeeE genes (≥1.5-times) in medium containing sulfate as a sole sulfur source, probably because the rppH gene encodes mRNA pyrophosphohydrolase that triggers degradation of certain mRNAs. In addition, the ΔrppH strain appeared to preferentially uptake thiosulfate rather than sulfate, though thiosulfate dramatically reduced expression of the known sulfate/thiosulfate transporter complexes in both ΔrppH and wild-type cells. We also found that both YeeE and YeeD are required for the strain without the transporters to grow in the presence of thiosulfate as a sole sulfur source. Therefore, yeeE and yeeD are assigned as genes responsible for thiosulfate uptake (tsuA and tsuB, respectively). In final, we applied the ΔrppH strain to the fermentative production of L-cysteine. Disruption of the rppH gene enhanced L-cysteine biosynthesis, as a result, a strain producing approximately twice as much L-cysteine as the control strain was obtained.

RESUMO

DMSO, glycerol, and ascorbic acid (AA) are used in pharmaceuticals and known to display radioprotective effects. The present study investigates radioprotective properties of novel glyceryl glucoside, ascorbic acid 2-glucoside, glyceryl ascorbate, and palmitoyl ascorbic acid 2-glucoside (PA). Gamma-rays or high-LET carbon-ions were irradiated in the presence of tested chemicals. Lambda DNA damage, cell survival, and micronuclei formation of CHO cells were analyzed to evaluate radioprotective properties. Radiation-induced Lambda DNA damage was reduced with chemical pre-treatment in a concentration-dependent manner. This confirmed tested chemicals were radical scavengers. For gamma-irradiation, enhanced cell survival and reduction of micronuclei formation were observed for all chemicals. For carbon-ion irradiation, DMSO, glycerol, and PA displayed radioprotection for cell survival. Based on cell survival curves, protection levels by PA were confirmed and comparable between gamma-rays and high-LET carbon-ions. Micronuclei formation was only decreased with AA and a high concentration of glycerol treatment, and not decreased with PA treatment. This suggests that mechanisms of protection against high-LET carbon-ions by PA can differ from normal radical scavenging effects that protect DNA from damage.

RESUMO

Quercetin has been demonstrated to produce DNA damage in the presence of metal ions. In the present study, 7 natural and 5 semi­synthetic glycosylated flavonoids were utilized to investigate the cupric ion (Cu2+)­dependent DNA damage in vitro. The reaction mixture, containing single­stranded DNA, different concentrations of flavonoids and cupric ion in the buffer, was incubated at three different temperatures. DNA damage was then assessed by gel electrophoresis followed by densitometric analysis. The reaction mixture with quercetin at 4, 20 and 54˚C induced DNA damage in a concentration­ and temperature­dependent manner. Furthermore, only the reaction at 54˚C resulted in DNA damage in flavonoids with glucosyl substitution of the hydroxyl group at the 3­position on the C ring in quercetin. By contrast, loss of the hydroxyl group at the 3­position on the C ring, or at the 3'­ or 4'­position on the B ring of quercetin, did not portray DNA damage formation at the investigated experimental temperatures. In addition, the experimental results suggested that the hydroxyl group at the 3­position on the C ring produced the strongest capability to induce DNA damage in the presence of cupric ions. Furthermore, hydroxyl groups at the 3'­ or 4'­position on the B ring were only able to induce DNA damage at higher temperatures, and were less efficient in comparison with the hydroxyl group at the 3­position on the C ring. Cupric ion chelating capacity was also assessed with spectroscopic analysis, and quercetin presented the largest chelating capacity among the tested flavonoids. Hydroxyl radical formation was assessed with a luminol reaction, and quercetin presented faster consumption of luminol. These results suggest that the 3­position hydroxyl group of the C ring is required to induce DNA damage at low temperatures. Furthermore, the results of the present study also indicated that the presence of cupric ions will decrease the activity of the glycosylated quercetins, in terms of their ability to induce DNA damage.

RESUMO

In this study, three novel flavonoid composite materials, created by combining an aglycone [quercetin (QUE), hesperetin (HES) or naringenin (NAR)] with monoglucosyl rutin (MGR), were designed to test for improved radioprotectivity compared with that provided by administration of MGR alone. Aglycone in the MGR-composite state was highly soluble in water, compared with aglycone alone dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide or distilled water. The antioxidant activity of the three flavonoid composites was as high as that of MGR only. Next, the cytotoxicity test after 30 min treatment of an MGR composite showed a clear reduction in cell viability and suggested that a rapid introduction of aglycone into cells had taken place. In addition, QUE/MGR and HES/MGR composites strongly scavenged intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by X-ray irradiation as well as MGR alone did. However, in the colony-formation assay using irradiated Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, the HES/MGR composite showed a stronger radioprotective effect than MGR alone did, but the QUE/MGR composite showed no additional protective effect compared with the control. Furthermore, it was revealed that QUE and QUE/MGR composite treatment had the effect of reducing the glutathione (GSH) content in cells, and that QUE showed a stronger inhibition of PARP activity compared that of HES and NAR. Our data demonstrated that when designing a flavonoid composite as a radioprotective agent, it was necessary to select an appropriate aglycone, considering not only its antioxidant ability but also its inhibitory effect on cell recovery or DNA repair after radiation injury.

RESUMO

High consumption of dietary flavonoids might contribute to a reduction of cancer risks. Quercetin and its glycosides have PARP inhibitory effects and can induce selective cytotoxicity in BRCA2-deficient cells by synthetic lethality. We hypothesized that common flavonoids in diet naringenin, hesperetin and their glycosides have a similar structure to quercetin, which might have comparable PARP inhibitory effects, and can induce selective cytotoxicity in BRCA2-deficient cells. We utilized Chinese hamster V79 wild type, V-C8 BRCA2-deficient and its gene-complemented cells. In vitro analysis revealed that both naringenin and hesperetin present a PARP inhibitory effect. This inhibitory effect is less specific than for quercetin. Hesperetin was more cytotoxic to V79 cells than quercetin and naringenin based on colony formation assay. Quercetin and naringenin killed V-C8 cells with lower concentrations, and presented selective cytotoxicity to BRCA2-deficient cells. However, the cytotoxicity of hesperetin was similar among all three cell lines. Glycosyl flavonoids, isoquercetin and rutin as well as naringin showed selective cytotoxicity to BRCA2-deficient cells; hesperidin did not. These results suggest that flavonoids with the PARP inhibitory effect can cause synthetic lethality to BRCA2-deficient cells when other pathways are not the primary cause of death.

RESUMO

Novel glucosyl flavonoids are developed by the addition of glucose to naturally occurring flavonoids. Flavonoids are known antioxidants that possess radioprotective properties. In order to investigate the radioprotective properties of novel glucosyl flavonoids, in vitro DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) analysis was carried out. In the present study, Quercetin, Naringenin, and Hesperetin groups of flavonoids included in the natural and novel glucosyl 13 flavonoids were investigated. Flavonoids were mixed with Lambda DNA, and subsequently exposed to gamma­rays. Furthermore, DNA DSB yields were visualized by gel electrophoresis. Quercetin derivatives displayed reduced DNA DSB formation at 10 µM. At a high concentration, the majority of flavonoids displayed radioprotective properties as a reduction of DSB yields. Suppression of DSB formation was confirmed via the molecular combing assay for Quercetin, and three monoglucosyl flavonoids. Glucosylation showed positive effects for radioprotection and monoglucosyl-Rutin showed superior radioprotective properties when compared to monoglucosyl-Naringin and Hesperidin. In addition, Quercetin derivatives had greater total antioxidant capacities and DPPH radical scavenging ability than other flavonoid groups. Since Quercetin, Isoquercetin, and Rutin display poor water solubility, monoglucosyl-Rutin, maltooligosyl-Isoquercetin, and maltooligosyl-Rutin may be better radioprotective agents and easily bioavailable with increased water solubility.

RESUMO

Glyceryl glucoside (GG, α-d-glucosyglycerol) is a natural glycerol derivative found in alcoholic drinks. Recently GG has been used as an alternative for glycerol in cosmetic products. However, the safety of using GG is still unclear. Currently, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and glycerol are wildly used in cryopreservation. Despite GG being a derivative of glycerol, the ability of GG in cryopreservation is still unknown. By using a system of Chinese Hamster Ovary cells (CHO), A549 cells and AG1522 cells, the study examined the cryoprotective effects of DMSO, glycerol and GG. Cytotoxic and genotoxic responses induced by the three chemicals were also investigated with CHO to determine the safety of GG for cosmetic products. Our data suggests that GG has great cryopresearvation ability in the concentration of 30%-40% (v/v). For cytotoxic studies, DMSO showed the highest cytotoxicity above 3% (v/v) in cell doubling time delay among three chemicals. For the acute cytotoxicity with trypan blue dye exclusion assay, GG showed stronger cell killing effect within 24 h above 4% (v/v). For the continuous cytotoxicity with colony formation assay for 7 days, DMSO showed significantly reduced clonogenic ability above 2%. In genotoxicity studies, CHO treated with glycerol at 2% concentration induced three times higher frequencies of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) than background levels. GG did not induce significant amounts of SCE compared to background. Micronuclei formation was equally observed in the 2% and above concentrations of glycerol and GG. Our data showed that GG has significant effects on cryopreservation compared to DMSO. Glycerol and GG have similar cytotoxicity effects to CHO, but glycerol induced genotoxic responses in the same concentration. Therefore, we conclude that GG may be a safer alternative compound to glycerol in cosmetic products and safer alternative to DMSO in cryopreservation.

RESUMO

The flavonoids quercetin, and its natural glycosides isoquercetin and rutin, are phytochemicals commonly consumed in plant-derived foods and used as a food beverage additive. Semi-synthetic maltooligosyl isoquercetin, monoglucosyl rutin and maltooligosyl rutin were developed by synthetic glycosylation to improve their water solubility for food and other applications. Using a system of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, this study examined the differences in cytotoxic responses induced by short and continuous exposure of natural and synthetic flavonoids. By assessing cell viability after short term exposure and clonogenicity with continuous exposure under various flavonoids, quercetin aglycone is confirmed to be the most cytotoxic flavonoids, and heavily glucosylated maltooligosyl rutin was the least cytotoxic. The other heavily glucosylated maltooligosyl isoquercetin showed intermediate cytotoxicity and similar toxicity as isoquercetin.

RESUMO

The flavonoids quercetin, and its natural glycosides isoquercetin and rutin, are phytochemicals commonly consumed in plant-derived foods. Semi-synthetic water-soluble isoquercetin and rutin glycosides, maltooligosyl isoquercetin, monoglucosyl rutin and maltooligosyl rutin were developed by synthetic glycosylation to overcome solubility challenges for improved incorporation in food and medicinal applications. Quercetin and its natural glycosides are known to induce genetic instability and decrease cell proliferation. Using a system of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, this study examined the differences in cytotoxic and genotoxic responses induced by natural and synthetic flavonoids. Bioactivity evaluations using poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) ELISA showed that the synthetic flavonoids were less effective in inhibiting PARP than the natural flavonoids, where PARP inhibitory effects decreased with glycosylation of flavonoids. In the genotoxic studies, treatments with flavonoids at a concentration range of 0.2 µM-1 mM induced significant frequencies of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) and micronuclei in CHO cells compared to spontaneous occurrences. The synthetic flavonoids monoglucosyl rutin and maltooligosyl rutin induced less genotoxic effects than the natural flavonoids. However, maltooligosyl isoquercetin induced similar responses as isoquercetin and rutin. The growth inhibition studies showed glycosylation dependent cytotoxicity in natural flavonoids. The quercetin aglycone exhibited the highest toxicity out of all the flavonoids studied. Differences in growth inhibition were not observed between the synthetic flavonoids, maltooligosyl isoquercetin and monoglucosyl rutin, and natural isoquercetin and rutin, respectively. Maltooligosyl rutin induced less cytotoxicity than rutin and monoglucosyl rutin. Our in vitro studies demonstrated that the synthetic flavonoids generally induced less genotoxic responses than their natural counterparts.

RESUMO

In the present study, the role of monoglucosyl­rutin as a potential radioprotector was investigated using mammalian cell culture models. Cell survival and DNA damage were assessed using colony formation, sister chromatid exchange and γH2AX assays. It was demonstrated that monoglucosyl­rutin was able to increase cell survival when exposed to ionizing radiation, possibly by decreasing the amount of base damage experienced by the cell. However, the present study also demonstrated that, despite monoglucosyl­rutin exhibiting radioprotective effects at low doses, high doses of monoglucosyl­rutin led to a decrease in plating efficiency and an increased doubling time. This effect may be due to double­strand breaks caused by high concentrations of monoglucosyl­rutin.

RESUMO

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have been proven to represent superior clinical agents targeting DNA repair mechanisms in cancer therapy. We investigated PARP inhibitory effects of the natural and synthetic flavonoids (quercetin, rutin, monoglucosyl rutin and maltooligosyl rutin) and tested the synthetic lethality in BRCA2 mutated cells. In vitro ELISA assay suggested that the flavonoids have inhibitory effects on PARP activity, but glucosyl modifications reduced the inhibitory effect. Cytotoxicity tests of Chinese hamster cells defective in BRCA2 gene (V-C8) and its parental V79 cells showed BRCA2-dependent synthetic lethality when treated with the flavonoids. BRCA2 mutated cells were three times more sensitive to the flavonoids than the wild-type and gene complemented cells. Reduced toxicity was observed in a glucosyl modification-dependent manner. The present study provides support for the clinical use of new treatment drugs, and is the beginning of the potential application of flavonoids in cancer prevention and the periodic consumption of appropriate flavonoids to reduce cancer risk in individuals carrying a mutant allele of the BRCA2 gene.
