Nitrogen supply influences herbivore-induced direct and indirect defenses and transcriptional responses in Nicotiana attenuata.

Although nitrogen (N) availability is known to alter constitutive resistance against herbivores, its influence on herbivore-induced responses, including signaling pathways, transcriptional signatures, and the subsequently elicited chemical defenses is poorly understood. We used the native tobacco, Nicotiana attenuata, which germinates in the postfire environment and copes with large changes in soil N during postfire succession, to compare a suite of Manduca sexta- and elicitor-induced responses in plants grown under high- and low-N (LN) supply rates. LN supply decreased relative growth rates and biomass by 35% at 40 d compared to high-N plants; furthermore, it also attenuated (by 39 and 60%) the elicitor-induced jasmonate and salicylate bursts, two N-intensive direct defenses (nicotine and trypsin proteinase inhibitors, albeit by different mechanisms), and carbon-containing nonvolatile defenses (rutin, chlorogenic acid, and diterpene glycosides), but did not affect the induced release of volatiles (cis-alpha-bergamotene and germacrene A), which function as indirect defenses. M. sexta and methyl jasmonate-induced transcriptional responses measured with a microarray enriched in herbivore-induced genes were also substantially reduced in plants grown under LN supply rates. In M. sexta-attacked LN plants, only 36 (45%) up-regulated and 46 (58%) down-regulated genes showed the same regulation as those in attacked high-N plants. However, transcriptional responses frequently directly countered the observed metabolic changes. Changes in a leaf's sensitivity to elicitation, an attacked leaf's waning ability to export oxylipin wound signals, and/or resource limitations in LN plants can account for the observed results, underscoring the conclusion that defense activation is a resource-intensive response.

Quantitative relationship between phenylalanine ammonia-lyase levels and phenylpropanoid accumulation in transgenic tobacco identifies a rate-determining step in natural product synthesis.

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) catalyzes the first step in phenylpropanoid synthesis. The role of PAL in pathway regulation was investigated by measurement of product accumulation as a function of enzyme activity in a collection of near-isogenic transgenic tobacco plants exhibiting a range of PAL levels from wild type to 0.2% of wild type. In leaf tissue, PAL level is the dominant factor regulating accumulation of the major product chlorogenic acid and overall flux into the pathway. In stems, PAL at wild-type levels contributes, together with downstream steps, in the regulation of lignin deposition and becomes the dominant, rate-determining step at levels 3- to 4-fold below wild type. The metabolic impact of elevated PAL levels was investigated in transgenic leaf callus that overexpressed PAL. Accumulation of the flavonoid rutin, the major product in wild-type callus, was not increased, but several other products accumulated to similarly high levels. These data indicate that PAL is a key step in the regulation of overall flux into the pathway and, hence, accumulation of major phenylpropanoid products, with the regulatory architecture of the pathway poised so that downstream steps control partitioning into different branch pathways.

Development of the chromatographic fingerprint of herbal preparations Shuang-Huang-Lian oral liquid.

A simple, reliable and reproducible method, based on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), for developing chromatographic fingerprint of complex herbal medicine Shuang-Huang-Lian (SHL) oral liquid was described. Ten batches of SHL obtained from different pharmaceutical factories were used to establish the fingerprint. In addition, the contents of baicalin and chlorogenic acid, which are two marker constituents in the preparations, were also determined. Chromatographic fingerprint, together with the contents of the markers were applied for quality control of SHL. SHL comprises three kinds of medicinal herbs: Fols Lonicerae, Radix Scutellariae and Fructus Forsythiae. According to State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) requirement, the chromatographic fingerprints of Fols Lonicerae, Radix Scutellariae and Fructus Forsythiae, the raw materials of SHL preparations, were also established. The data of fingerprints of SHL and its raw herbs established by HPLC were all processed with two kinds of mathematic methods including correlation coefficient and cosine value of vectorial angle to validate their similarities. In conclusion, fingerprints of Radix Scutellariae, Fols Lonicerae and Fructus Forsythiae are suitable for identification, differentiation of their geographic origins and quality control. The similarity of 10 batches of SHL oral liquid was more than 0.988, which showed the preparations from different pharmaceutical factories were consistent.

Metabolic flux analysis of the phenylpropanoid pathway in elicitor-treated potato tuber tissue.

The effects of beta-1,3-oligosaccharide elicitor on the metabolism of phenylpropanoids in potato tuber were analyzed quantitatively, by monitoring the time-dependent changes in the levels of seven compounds. The elicitor treatment caused an increase in the pool size of octopamine and tyramine amides (N-p-coumaroyloctopamine, N-feruloyloctopamine, N-p-coumaroyltyramine and N-feruloyltyramine), as well as a decrease in that of chlorogenic acid and putrescine amides (caffeoylputrescine and feruloylputrescine). An analysis of metabolic flux using stable isotope labeling and liquid chromatography-spectrometry (LC-MS) detection clearly demonstrated that the changes in the pool size of these compounds were correlated with the changes in their flux for biosynthesis (Jin) upon elicitor treatment. The increase in Jin in the cases of octopamine and tyramine amides was accompanied by an increase in flux for the transformation (Jout), indicating a rapid turnover of these compounds in the elicitor-treated tuber tissue. The result of the flux analysis indicated that the actual activation of the biosynthesis of octopamine and tyramine amides after the elicitor treatment was greater than that estimated from the changes in their levels in the potato tissue. These findings suggest that these amide compounds and their metabolic derivatives play an important role in the defense-related metabolism of phenylpropanoids in potato.

Deviceless decoupled electrochemical detection of catecholamines in capillary electrophoresis using gold microband array electrodes.

Samples containing microM concentrations of dopamine, (+/-)-isoproterenol, para-aminophenol and chlorogenic acid have been separated by capillary electrophoresis (CE) and detected using end-column amperometric detection based on a novel decoupling method. The present decoupling approach involves the use of an electrochemical detector chip containing an array of microband electrodes where the working and reference electrodes are positioned only 10 microm from each other. The short distance between the working and reference electrodes ensures that both electrodes are very similarly affected by the presence of the CE electric field. With this method, no shift in the detection potential was seen when the CE high voltage was applied. This eliminated the need for a reoptimization of the detection potential to compensate for the influence of the separation voltage on the detection. It is also demonstrated that catecholamines can be detected using gold microband electrodes by careful adjustment of the detection potential to avoid the formation of gold oxide. Such careful adjustments of the detection potential are straightforward using the present decoupling method.

[Determination of active constituents in shi-wei (Folium Pyrrosiae) by high performance liquid chromatography].

A new analytical method for the simultaneous determination of three constituents, viz, mangiferin, isomangiferin and chlorogenic acid in Folium Pyrrosiae using high performance liquid chromatography was developed. A Zorbax-CN column (4.6 mm x 25 cm) was used; methanol--water--phosphoric acid (pH 2.5) (20:80:0.1) was used as the mobile phase. The method was rapid, sensitive, precise and showed good reproducibility. The three constituents in crude drugs were completely separated within 15 min. Recoveries of three constituents were 96.78-101.3%, with coefficients of variation 1.8-4.7%. Mangiferin and isomangiferin were separated for the first time. Pyrrosia plant materials were analyzed as follows: The powdered sample was refluxed with methanol for 4 hours, the extract was transferred into a 25 ml volumetric flask and diluted to 25 ml with methanol. A definite amount of this sample solution was injected for HPLC. The content of constituents in Folium pyrrosiae was calculated from the relevant peak height or peak area. The content of these three constituents in 7 species of Chinese Pyrrosia collected in 17 districts were determined. The results showed that these constituents varied greatly with the plant species and varied with the districts for the same species also, and should be evaluated accordingly.

Metabolic flux analysis of the phenylpropanoid pathway in wound-healing potato tuber tissue using stable isotope-labeled tracer and LC-MS spectroscopy.

The metabolic flux of two phenylpropanoid metabolites, N-p-coumaroyloctopamine (p-CO) and chlorogenic acid (CGA), in the wound-healing potato tuber tissue was quantitatively analyzed by a newly developed method based upon the tracer experiment using stable isotope-labeled compounds and LC-MS. Tuber disks were treated with aqueous solution of L-phenyl-d(5)-alanine, and the change in the ratio of stable isotope-labeled compound to non-labeled (isotope abundance) was monitored for p-CO and CGA in the tissue extract by LC-MS. The time-dependent change in the isotope abundance of each metabolite was fitted to an equation that was derived from the formation and conversion kinetics of each compound. Good correlations were obtained between the observed and calculated isotope abundances for both p-CO and CGA. The rates of p-CO formation and conversion (i.e. fluxes) were 1.15 and 0.96 nmol (g FW)(-1) h(-1), respectively, and for CGA, the rates 4.63 and 0.42 nmol (g FW)(-1) h(-1), respectively. This analysis enabled a direct comparison of the biosynthetic activity between these two compounds.

[Effects of irrigation volume on growth and quality of Lonicera japonica].

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of irrigation volume on the growth and quality of Lonicera japonica. METHOD: Different volume of irrigation water was applied to the potted L. japonica before the first florescence of honeysuckle in order to keep the relative moisture content of the soil as 100%, 80%, 50%, 30%, and observe the growth and development of shoot and leaves, yield and quality of honeysuckle. RESULT: As the of irrigation volume was reduced, the internodal elongation of shoot and the increase of the knot were restrained, and the yield of honeysuckle dropped. But the content of chlorogen acid in the buds treated by 80% irrigation volume was not affected, while that of the other treatment all decreased. The moisture contents of the leaves treated by 30% irrigation volume was significantly lower than that of the CK, while the specific leaf weight (SLW) increased significantly comparing to the CK. The content of chlorophyl in the leaves of 50% and 30% increased, while the ratio of chlorophyl A and B fell significantly. The content of dissoluble suger in the leaves of 80% and 50% irrigation volume was much higher than that in the CK. The results also showed that, the content of dissoluble protein in the leaves of 30% irrigation volume increased comparing with that in 50%, and the content of proline in leaveas of 30% irrigation volume increased significantly. CONCLUSION: Using less irrigation volume (keeping 80% of relative moisture content of the soil) does not affect the quality of honeysuckle, but decreased dry weight of honeysuckle. It is necessary to take irrigation management during cultivation of honeysuckle.

Coffee and health: a review of recent human research.

Coffee is a complex mixture of chemicals that provides significant amounts of chlorogenic acid and caffeine. Unfiltered coffee is a significant source of cafestol and kahweol, which are diterpenes that have been implicated in the cholesterol-raising effects of coffee. The results of epidemiological research suggest that coffee consumption may help prevent several chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, Parkinson's disease and liver disease (cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma). Most prospective cohort studies have not found coffee consumption to be associated with significantly increased cardiovascular disease risk. However, coffee consumption is associated with increases in several cardiovascular disease risk factors, including blood pressure and plasma homocysteine. At present, there is little evidence that coffee consumption increases the risk of cancer. For adults consuming moderate amounts of coffee (3-4 cups/d providing 300-400 mg/d of caffeine), there is little evidence of health risks and some evidence of health benefits. However, some groups, including people with hypertension, children, adolescents, and the elderly, may be more vulnerable to the adverse effects of caffeine. In addition, currently available evidence suggests that it may be prudent for pregnant women to limit coffee consumption to 3 cups/d providing no more than 300 mg/d of caffeine to exclude any increased probability of spontaneous abortion or impaired fetal growth.

Naturally occurring polyphenolic antioxidants modulate IgE-mediated mast cell activation.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known to modulate activities of a host of kinases, phosphatases and transcription factors. Rutin and chlorogenic acid (CGA) are the major polyphenolic antioxidants present in the small molecular fraction of smokeless tobacco leaf extracts, as ascertained by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry. Levels of intracellular ROS in resting versus antigen-immunoglobulin E (IgE)-challenged murine mast cells were measured at 510 nm by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) using carboxy-dichlorofluorescein (DCFH-DA). Enhanced ROS production was observed in IgE-sensitized mast cells following antigenic challenge. Rutin and CGA reduced ROS levels in antigen-IgE-activated mast cells. Concomitantly, they also profoundly inhibited histamine release by these activated mast cells. In contrast, rutin and CGA augmented the inducible cytokine messages, i.e. interleukin (IL)-10, IL-13, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), IL-6 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in IgE-sensitized mast cells following antigen challenge. This study indicates that tobacco polyphenolic antioxidants that quench intracellular ROS, differentially affect two effector functions of antigen-IgE-activated mast cells. This model system may be employed to determine the molecular target of polyphenols. The potential role of these polyphenolic antioxidants on IgE-mediated allergy in vivo depends on a balance of their differential effects on mast cell activation.

Regressive effects of various chemopreventive agents on azoxymethane-induced aberrant crypt foci in the rat colon.

Regressive effects of four chemopreventive agents [5-hydroxy-4-(2-phenyl-(E)-ethenyl)-2(5H)-furanone (KYN-54), S-methyl methanethiosulfonate (MMTS), chlorogenic acid (CA), and piroxicam] on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in the colon of male F344 rats were examined by dietary exposure. At six weeks of age, 60 rats of groups 1 through 5 received subcutaneous injections of AOM (15 mg/kg body weight) once a weeks. Twelve weeks after the first carcinogen injection, when the occurrence of ACF was maximal, the rats in groups 2 through 5 were started on diet containing the test chemicals as follows: group 2, KYN-54 (0.02%); group 3, MMTS (0.01%); group 4, CA (0.025%); and group 5, piroxicam (0.0125%). Group 1 (20 rats) was kept on the basal diet alone, and group 6 (12 rats) served as an untreated control. Rats in each group were killed at 6, 12, 18, or 24 weeks after the start of the experiment, and the yield of ACF in the colon of each group at 18 or 24 weeks was compared with that at 12 weeks. The number of ACF per rat colon of each group at 18 or 24 weeks was smaller than that at 12 weeks. The reduction rates at 18 weeks were 7% in group 1 (AOM alone), 11% in group 2 (AOM + KYN-54), 10% in group 3 (AOM + MMTS), 51% in group 4 (AOM + CA) (P < 0.01), and 33% in group 5 (AOM + piroxicam) (P < 0.02), while at 24 weeks they were 12%, 26%, 51% (P < 0.002), 43% (P < 0.05), and 70% (P < 0.001), respectively. These results indicate that chemopreventive agents for large bowel carcinogenesis, i.e., KYN-54, MMTS, CA, and piroxicam, are not only able to prevent the development of ACF, but also can regress ACF, which are regarded as precursor lesions of colorectal cancer.

Direct evidence for the involvement of two glucose 6-phosphate-binding sites in the glucose-6-phosphatase activity of intact liver microsomes. Characterization of T1, the microsomal glucose 6-phosphate transport protein by a direct binding assay.

S 5627 is a synthetic analogue of chlorogenic acid. S 5627 is a potent linear competitive inhibitor of glucose 6-phosphate (Glc-6-P) hydrolysis by intact microsomes (Ki = 41 nM) but is without effect on the enzyme in detergent- or NH4OH-disrupted microsomes. 3H-S 5627 was synthesized and used as a ligand in binding studies directed at characterizing T1, the Glc-6-P transporter. Binding was evaluated using Ca2+-aggregated microsomes, which can be sedimented at low g forces. Aside from a modest reduction in K values for both substrate and S 5627, Ca2+ aggregation had no effect on glucose-6-phosphatase (Glc-6-Pase). Scatchard plots of binding data are readily fit to a simple "two-site" model, with Kd = 21 nM for the high affinity site and Kd = 2 microM for the low affinity site. Binding to the high affinity site was competitively blocked by Glc-6-P (Ki = 9 microM), whereas binding was unaffected by mannose-6-phosphate, Pi, and PPi and only modestly depressed by 2-deoxy-D-glucose 6-phosphate, a poor substrate for Glc-6-Pase in intact microsomes. Thus the high affinity 3H-S 5627 binding site fits the criteria for T1. Permeabilization of the membrane with 0.3% (3-[(chloramidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate) activated Glc-6-Pase and broadened its substrate specificity, but it did not significantly alter the binding of 3H-S 5627 to the high affinity sites or the ability of Glc-6-P to block binding. These data demonstrate unequivocally that two independent Glc-6-P binding sites are involved in the hydrolysis of Glc-6-P by intact microsomes. The present findings are the strongest and most direct evidence to date against the notion that the substrate specificity and the intrinsic activity of Glc-6-Pase in native membranes are determined by specific conformational constraints imposed on the enzyme protein. These data constitute compelling evidence for the role of T1 in Glc-6-Pase activity.

Polyphenolic apple juice extracts and their major constituents reduce oxidative damage in human colon cell lines.

Apple juice containing high amounts of antioxidative polyphenols might protect the intestine against oxidative cell damage. We investigated the preventive effectiveness of polyphenolic juice extracts of different origins (cider and table apples) in comparison to their major constituents in human colon cell lines (Caco-2, HT29). Parameters studied were (oxidative) DNA damage (Comet assay), glutathione level (photometric kinetic assay), cellular redox status (dichlorofluorescein assay) and antioxidant capacity. The extracts (50-250 microg/mL) modulated DNA damage and redox status in a concentration-dependent manner at 24-h incubation. The pomace extraction technology, applied for juice preparation, and the preferential selection of cider apple varieties influenced the polyphenolic pattern and increased the biological effectiveness of the extracts. The preventive potential of major juice constituents (1-100 microM, 24 h) strongly differed: rutin, epicatechin and caffeic acid clearly reduced (oxidative) DNA damage (Caco-2), chlorogenic acid efficiently decreased cellular reactive oxygen species level (HT29, Caco-2). The aglyca quercetin and phloretin exhibited the highest preventive/antioxidant capacity in all assays. The stability of the compounds inversely correlated with their preventive effectiveness and might contribute to the observed cell specific sensitivities. In conclusion, apple juice extracts distinctly reduce oxidative cell damage in human colon cell lines, an effect, which in part can be accounted for by their major constituents.

[Studies on the pharmacokinetics of C-14 cinnamic-acid derivatives in rats].

Using some 14C-labelled derivatives of cinnamic acid which are of interest as metabolites of chlorogenic acid we studied their pharmacokinetic behaviour in rats. The absorption rate constant from intestinal was 2--10 times greater than the elimination rate constant. After i.v. application the half life of elimination from the blood was between 13 and 37 minutes. When greater amounts (50 mg/kg) were given by i.d. application, absorption and elimation were delayed. The tested compounds were excreted mainly by the kidneys and most of the given dosis could be found in urine within 2 hours. The biliary excretion differed widely among the tested compounds: only up to 3% were excreted in the bile in the case of m-cumaric acid, p-cumaric acid and caffeic acid, whereas up to 30% were found when ferulic acid or trimethoxycinnamic acid were given. From these results a greater ole of caffeic acid in the enterohepatic circulation is not to be expected.

Effect of drying conditions and storage period on polyphenolic content, antioxidant capacity, and ascorbic acid of prunes.

In this study the main chemical parameters, ascorbic acid and polyphenol content, and antioxidant activity of two varieties of prunes, dried by high-temperature (85 + 70 degrees C) and low-temperature (60 degrees C) procedures, were monitored during storage. Ascorbic acid content was higher in the prunes dried at 60 degrees C but significantly decreased in both varieties during storage. The different classes of polyphenols analyzed (cinnamates, anthocyanins, flavonols) showed different stabilities during storage. Neochlorogenic acid decreased only in the President variety, whereas chlorogenic acid increased in both varieties; anthocyanins, present only in the President prunes, disappeared in the first months of storage, and the flavonol content fell significantly in both cultivars during the year of the study. Drying temperature significantly affected the polyphenol content, with different effects according to the class of polyphenols. Antioxidant activity showed a significant increase at the end of the storage period and in the President variety was higher in the sample dried at the higher temperature.

Caffeic acid derivatives production by hairy root cultures of Echinacea purpurea.

Inoculation of leaf explants of Echinacea purpurea (Moench) with Agrobacterium rhizogenes induced hairy roots with the capacity to produce biologically active caffeic acid derivatives (CADs), especially cichoric acid. The kinetics of growth, the uptake of macronutrients, and the accumulation of CADs were investigated in heterotrophically cultured hairy roots for a 50 day period. A maximum of 12.2 g L(-1) dry biomass was achieved in MS nutrients supplemented with 30 g L(-1) sucrose on day 40. The mathematical relationship between hairy root growth and conductivity was established during the exponential phase in Erlenmeyer flasks. HPLC analyses of methanolic (0.1% phosphoric acid; 70:30, v/v) extracts from hairy roots revealed the presence of important CADs: cichoric acid (19.21 mg g(-1) dry biomass), caftaric acid (3.56 mg g(-1) dry biomass), and chlorogenic acid (0.93 mg g(-1) dry biomass). These results demonstrate that biotechnological production of CADs in hairy roots of E. purpurea is possible. Furthermore, these hairy root cultures offer, for the very first time, an excellent biological model to study the biosynthetic pathway of medicinally important CADs.

Amino acid uptake by amino acid analog resistant tobacco cell lines.

Two tobacco cell lines resistant to p-fluorophenylalanine (PFP) and one resistant to 5-methyltryptophan (5-MT) are compared with wild type cells in their ability to absorb amino acids from the medium. One p-fluorophenylalanine-resistant cell line shows greatly reduced uptake of all amino acids so is resistant to growth inhibition by other amino acid analogs. The impaired absorption is noted with amino acids, amino acid analogs and shikimate, but not with cinnamate, salicylate, nicotine, glucose, 3-O-methylglucose and palmitate. The phenylalanine transport system of the PFP-resistant cell line and the wild type both have Km values of 90 micrograms, but have different Vmax values. Several analogs of phenylalanine and several neutral L-amino acids inihibt the phenylalanine transport system, while L-aspartic acid, L-arginine, D-phenylalanine or chlorogenic acid do not interfere with the L-phenylalanine uptake. The results indicate the presence of more than one transport system for amino acid uptake. The lessened uptake of all amino acids, the specificity of the uptake systems and the unchanged binding let us conclude that a pleiotropic mutation or that some inhibitor causes the reduced uptake of all amino acids by the PFP-resistant cell line.

[Levels of hydroxycinnamic acids and free auxins in tobacco during photoperiodic induction].

The photoperiod controls hydroxycinnamic acids (involved in light signal transmission via interaction with the control proteins) in addition to plant hormones in tobaccos of different biotypes during the vegetative-to-reproductive switch of the genetic program. Hydroxycinnamic acids content shows a regular time pattern during the transition to flowering: the level of cinnamic acid decreases while the level of ferulic and chlorogenic acids increases despite the opposite photoperiodic response of the two tobaccos. Considering the possible use of hydroxycinnamic acids in light energy transduction, one can propose involving these substances in the reactions that induce plant flowering.
