雷公藤不定根两相培养初步研究

以雷公藤(Tripterygium wilfordii)不定根为材料,通过两相培养技术,研究有机溶剂邻苯二甲酸二丁酯(DBP)不同浓度及培养时间对雷公藤不定根生长及次生代谢产物含量的影响。结果显示,DBP浓度为6%、培养至第6 d时,不定根增长量达1.14 g/瓶,为对照(1.08 g/瓶)的1.06倍;DBP浓度为2%、培养至第8 d时,内酯醇含量达74.96μg/g,为对照(53.67μg/g)的1.40倍;DBP浓度为2%、培养至第2 d时,所收获的内酯醇总产量最高(0.40 mg/瓶),且为对照(0.27 mg/瓶)的1.48倍。本研究结果表明,在培养基中添加一定浓度DBP,虽然适合雷公藤内酯醇的形成,但不适合雷公藤生物碱的形成;不论添加DBP浓度大小、培养时间长短,不定根中吉碱和次碱含量及每瓶总产量均低于对照。     

诱导子对雷公藤不定根生长和次生代谢产物含量的影响

为探讨真菌诱导子以及硝酸银等非生物诱导子对雷公藤不定根生长及次生代谢产物含量的影响。以雷公藤不定根为材料,通过向培养基中添加不同种类的真菌诱导子以及硝酸银等非生物诱导子,采用高效液相色谱检测不定根中雷公藤甲素和生物碱含量。结果表明:各种真菌诱导子不影响不定根的生长,但对次生代谢产物含量有显著影响,其中,苹果炭疽和柿子炭疽诱导子的加入不仅使不定根中雷公藤甲素的含量分别提高了2.24和1.93倍,生物碱的含量也各提高了2.02和2.07倍。苹果炭疽诱导子浓度为50μg/m L时比较适合雷公藤不定根生长及雷公藤甲素和生物碱的积累。硝酸银抑制不定根的生长和生物碱的积累,但促进雷公藤甲素的积累。硝酸银浓度为25μmol/L时雷公藤甲素含量为对照的1.71倍。茉莉酸甲酯浓度为50μmol/L时,不定根增长量为对照的1.04倍,雷公藤甲素和生物碱含量分别为对照的1.64倍和2.12倍。酵母提取物浓度为2 g/L时,雷公藤甲素含量为对照的1.48倍。表明培养基中添加硝酸银和酵母提取物对不定根中雷公藤甲素的合成具有明显的促进作用,苹果炭疽和茉莉酸甲酯的协同作用既能促进雷公藤甲素的合成又能促进雷公藤生物碱的合成。     

不同浓度有机物对雷公藤不定根生长和次生代谢产物含量的影响

以NT为基本培养基,雷公藤(Tripterygium wilfordii)不定根为材料,研究了肌醇、VB1、烟酸、VB6、甘氨酸、叶酸、生物素等有机物质对雷公藤不定根生长及其次生代谢产物雷公藤甲素和总生物碱含量的影响。结果表明:NT培养基中原有浓度的肌醇、VB1含量即可使雷公藤不定根生长量、雷公藤甲素含量、总生物碱含量及产量达到最大值。在添加的其他有机物中,添加1 mg/L烟酸、1 mg/L VB6和5 mg/L甘氨酸适合不定根的生长;添加0.5 mg/L烟酸、0.5 mg/L生物素、1 mg/L VB6、1 mg/L甘氨酸和1 mg/L叶酸适合雷公藤甲素的积累;添加0.5 mg/L甘氨酸、1 mg/L VB6、1 mg/L叶酸和1 mg/L生物素则适合不定根中雷公藤总生物碱的合成。     

胀果甘草悬浮培养细胞合成甘草总黄酮

比较了胀果甘草(Glycyrrhiza inflata)悬浮细胞在逐级放大摇瓶中的生长、黄酮产量以及营养消耗过程,以便了解其放大规律。结果表明,在250和500mL摇瓶中,细胞的最大生物量、黄酮产量以及最大比生长速率没有显著性差异,但是在1L的摇瓶中,这三种参数都显著地降低,分别比250mL摇瓶中降低了27%,30%和27%。在逐级放大的摇瓶中,氮、磷、铵浓度都随着培养时间延长而逐渐降低,尽管在1L的摇瓶中磷消耗得最慢,但三种摇瓶中磷在细胞生长对数期基本都被消耗尽了。此外,硝态氮在第18天时基本被消耗完,而铵态氮在细胞收获时仍能维持在100mg/L。因此在反应器中培养时,主要的培养条件还需进一步优化。     

UPLC-MS测定不同产地及不同部位昆明山海棠中6种活性成分含量

建立了超高效液相色谱-质谱联用同时测定昆明山海棠中雷公藤吉碱、雷公藤次碱、雷公藤甲素、去甲泽拉木醛、雷酚内酯、雷公藤内酯甲6种活性成分含量的方法,并对不同产地及不同部位药材含量进行了分析。采用Phenomenex Luna C_(18)色谱柱(50×2.0 mm,3μm),以乙腈和0.1%甲酸水为流动相梯度洗脱,流速0.3 m L/min,柱温30℃,质谱条件为电喷雾电离源(ESI),多反应检测模式(MRM)。雷公藤吉碱、雷公藤次碱、雷公藤甲素、去甲泽拉木醛、雷酚内酯、雷公藤内酯甲分别在6.80~1360.00、5.90~1180.00、1.20~240.00、25.05~5010.00、1.45~290.00、1.65~330.00μg/L浓度范围内显示出良好的线性关系(r≥0.9998),平均加样回收率为98.19%~100.91%,RSD为1.46%~2.99%。应用该方法对来自不同产地及不同部位的36个昆明山海棠样品进行了测定,该方法简便、快速、准确,可用于昆明山海棠药材的质量控制。     

抗褐变剂对雷公藤愈伤组织生长和次生代谢产物含量的影响

以雷公藤（Tripterygium wilfordii Hook f.）根愈伤组织为材料,以NT为基本培养基,添加不同浓度硫代硫酸钠、抗坏血酸、柠檬酸、硝酸银、聚乙烯吡咯烷酮以及活性炭,探讨抗褐变剂对雷公藤愈伤组织生长、抗褐化和雷公藤内酯醇及总生物碱含量的影响。结果表明：除较低浓度柠檬酸以外,其他抗褐变剂均不同程度抑制雷公藤愈伤组织的生长。培养基中添加不同浓度硫代硫酸钠、抗坏血酸、柠檬酸、聚乙烯吡咯烷酮以及活性炭,雷公藤愈伤组织褐化程度不但没有得到控制,反而使褐化加重。但所有处理中,愈伤组织中内酯醇含量明显升高,其中加入50mg/L柠檬酸处理的内酯醇含量为对照的2.4倍。培养基中加入10～50mg/L硝酸银不仅能抑制雷公藤愈伤组织褐变,内酯醇的含量也随着硝酸银浓度的增加而增加。供试抗褐变剂中除较低浓度硫代硫酸钠以外,其他处理对雷公藤总生物碱的合成起抑制作用。     

甘草细胞在搅拌式生物反应器中的放大培养

在建立了稳定的甘草细胞搅拌式生物反应器放大培养体系的基础上,本文研究了甘草细胞在搅拌式反应器中悬浮培养的生长特性,包括细胞生长、细胞膜的透性、培养体系的p H变化及甘草黄酮合成情况等,并与摇瓶培养作比较。结果发现,同等条件下,反应器中培养细胞生物量的积累低于摇瓶培养,整个培养周期较摇瓶培养缩短。培养过程中同一时间段反应器中的p H值略低于摇瓶中的p H,细胞中H2O2的浓度是摇瓶中的1.8倍,甘草黄酮的产量是摇瓶培养的1.5倍,表明反应器中机械搅拌与流体剪切的培养环境对细胞生长起到一定程度的抑制作用,但刺激了细胞次生代谢产物甘草黄酮较高水平的合成。     

酿酒酵母工程菌高密度培养生产香紫苏醇

为提高酿酒酵母工程菌S7香紫苏醇产量,采用摇瓶培养,研究了其生长和代谢特点,发现产物合成与菌体生长密切关联。在3 L发酵罐中通过补料-溶氧联动控制的方式,以葡萄糖、乙醇和葡萄糖/乙醇混合物为碳源进行高密度培养,香紫苏醇产量分别达到253 mg/L、386 mg/L和408 mg/L,最高产量是摇瓶培养的27倍。说明添加乙醇作为碳源有助于香紫苏醇合成。研究结果对优化酿酒酵母细胞工厂,高效生产萜类化合物具有重要参考价值。     

原位吸附和茉莉酸甲酯联合使用显著提高中国红豆杉细胞云南紫杉烷c的生产

本实验所用的中国红豆杉细胞悬浮培养体系中,云南紫杉烷c(Tc)是主要的次生代谢产物,该化合物有类神经生长因子活性,提高其产量是进一步规模化生产的前提。本研究考察了原位吸附和茉莉酸甲酯(MJA)联合调控提高Tc产量的可能性。在培养的第7天加入浓度为100μmol/L的MJA虽然会使细胞的生物量下降10%～30%,但是单位细胞内Tc含量和Tc产量均有显著提高,分别是对照的3.6和3.3倍。吸附剂XAD-7在不同时间加入对Tc的合成影响显著。在培养的第7天同时加入100μmol/L的MJA和100g/L的XAD-7会使细胞生物量增加,Tc产量显著提高。培养到第21天,Tc产量达477.4mg/L,为对照的6.3倍,为只加MJA的1.9倍,其中94%的Tc被树脂吸附。实验结果表明,在MJA诱导高表达的过程中,吸附剂XAD-7的加入使细胞内代谢产物外泌,浓度降低,减轻产物反馈抑制现象,从而大幅度提高代谢物产量,有较好的生产前景。     

碳源、生长素及诱导子对木豆不定根生长和次生代谢产物合成的影响

以1/2MS为基本培养基,研究了蔗糖、IBA、茉莉酸甲酯（MJ）及水杨酸（SA）对木豆不定根生物量和次生代谢产物合成的影响。研究结果表明,蔗糖浓度对木豆不定根的生物量和次生代谢产物合成有显著影响,蔗糖浓度为30 g·L^-1时,木豆不定根的生物量和次生代谢产物的含量均达到最大值。低浓度的IBA有利于木豆不定根的生长和次生代谢产物的积累,高浓度的IBA表现出抑制作用。IBA浓度为0.1 mg·L^-1时,生物量、染料木素及芹菜素含量均为最大值,分别为对照组的1.1、1.1和2.8倍。在0~200 μmol·L^-1浓度范围内,MJ对不定根的生长几乎无影响（P>0.05）,但对次生代谢产物的合成有重要影响。MJ浓度为100 μmol·L^-1时,染料木素和芹菜素的含量均达到最大值,分别为对照组的1.9和2.1倍。SA抑制木豆不定根的生长和染料木素的合成,但对芹菜素的合成有一定促进作用,SA浓度为100 μmol·L^-1时,芹菜素的含量最高,为对照组的1.5倍。木豆不定根的悬浮培养是获得次生代谢产物的一条有效途径,为大规模生产染料木素和芹菜素提供了很好的思路。     

Elicitation and in situ adsorption enhanced secondary metabolites production of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. adventitious root fragment liquid cultures in shake flask and a modified bubble column bioreactor

The experiments of elicitation and in situ adsorption were conducted in shake flasks and then tested in a modified bubble column bioreactor for enhancing the productions of three active metabolites in Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f., triptolide, wilforgine and wilforine. Methyl jasmonate was screened out as the elicitor and the non-ionic polymeric ion-exchange resin of Amberlite^® XAD-7 was used for in situ product removal and protecting the alkaloids from degradation in the medium. In shake flask experiments, 3.55-fold, 49.11-fold, and 10.40-fold of triptolide, wilforgine, and wilforine, respectively, could be recovered from the medium and XAD-7 resin by elicitation and in situ product removal, compared with the control. The modified 10 L bubble column bioreactor had similar productions of the three active metabolites but needed a further optimization of parameters for better growth of adventitious roots.     

Establishment of adventitious root culture of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Stevia rebaudiana</Emphasis> Bertoni in a roller bottle system

Cultures of adventitious roots of Stevia rebaudiana (Bert.) Bertoni were performed in a roller bottle system for the production of both primary and secondary metabolites. Adventitious roots were induced from 1-cm-long root tip explants derived from in vitro regenerated plantlets on solid Murashige and Skoog (MS 1962) media supplemented with 10.7 μM of α-naphthaleneacetic acid. These cultures were successfully maintained in the same medium for 6 months with regular subcultures after 4 weeks. Thereafter, the roots were cut into 1.0- to 1.5-cm-long segments and transferred to the roller bottle system containing a fresh root tissue culture on liquid MS medium supplemented with 10.7 μM NAA. The apparatus consisted of a flask rolling system adjusted to 4g, and 3° of flask inclination. The roots were allowed to grow in the absence of light for adaptation and adventitious root formation. The best conditions for cultivation were investigated, considering culture volume (25 ml), culture period (4 weeks), salt concentrations in the nutrient medium (33%) and optimal initial inoculum (0.2 g) of S. rebaudiana roots. These results could give important information on how to improve the development of adventitious roots of S. rebaudiana for the production of primary and secondary metabolites.     

Aggregate cell suspension cultures of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. for triptolide, wilforgine, and wilforine production

The relationships between aggregate cell types, cell growth, and the triptolide, wilforgine, and wilforine content in aggregate cell suspension cultures of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. were examined. Aggregate cells larger than 2?mm grew quickly and constituted the majority of the white aggregates. The accumulation of triptolide was strongly correlated with the size of the aggregates and the length of the culture period. The aggregates 0.5?C2?mm in diameter accumulated higher triptolide content than those with other sizes throughout the culture. However, the size of the aggregate cells did not significantly affect on the wilforgine and wilforine content. Two other kinds of aggregate cells, the brown and green aggregate cells, also formed in the suspension cultures. The smallest aggregates (0.1?C0.5?mm) had a lower biomass and growth rate and had more chloroplasts and higher alkaloid content. The results of this study can be used to improve the selection process for the mass production of triptolide, wilforgine, and wilforine from cell suspension cultures.     

Pilot-scale culture of adventitious roots of ginseng in a bioreactor system

A pilot-scale culture of multiple adventitious roots of ginseng was established using a balloon-type bubble bioreactor. Adventitious roots (2 cm) induced from callus were cultured in plastic Petri dishes having 20 ml of solid Schenk and Hildebrandt (1972) medium containing 3% sucrose, 0.15% gelrite, and 24.6 μM indole-3-butric acid. An average of 29 secondary multiple adventitious roots were produced after 4 weeks of culture. These secondary roots were elongated on the same medium, reaching a length of 5 cm after 6 weeks of culture. A time course study revealed that maximum yields in 5-l and 20-l bioreactors were approximately 500 g and 2.2 kg at day 42 with 60 g and 240 g inoculations, respectively. Cutting twice during the culture increased the total amount of biomass produced. The root biomass in a 20-l balloon-type bubble bioreactor was 2.8 kg at harvest with 240 g of inoculum after 8 weeks of culture. The total saponin content obtained from small-scale and pilot-scale balloon type bubble bioreactors was around 1% based on dry weight. Inoculation of 500 g fresh weight of multiple adventitious roots into a 500 l balloon-type bubble bioreactor with cutting at 4 and 6 weeks after inoculation produced approximately 74.8 kg of multiple roots. The ginsengnoside profiles of these multiple adventitious roots were similar to profiles of field-grown ginseng roots when analyzed by HPLC. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

A MDR transporter contributes to the different extracellular production of sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids between adventitious root and hairy root liquid cultures of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Tripterygium wilfordii</Emphasis> Hook.f.

Key message

TwMDR1 transports sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids, wilforine and wilforgine, into the hairy roots of T. wilfordii Hook.f. resulting in low secretion ratio of alkaloids.

Abstract

Hairy roots (HRs) exhibit high growth rate and biochemical and genetic stability. However, varying secondary metabolites in HR liquid cultures mainly remain in root tissues, and this condition may affect cell growth and cause inconvenience in downstream extraction. Studies pay less attention to adventitious root (AR) liquid cultures though release ratio of some metabolites in AR liquid cultures is significantly higher than that of HR. In Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.f., release ratio of wilforine in AR liquid cultures reached 92.75 and 13.32% in HR on day 15 of culture. To explore potential roles of transporters in this phenomenon, we cloned and functionally identified a multidrug resistance (MDR) transporter, TwMDR1, which shows high expression levels in HRs and is correlated to transmembrane transportation of alkaloids. Nicotiana tabacum cells with overexpressed TwMDR1 efficiently transported wilforine and wilforgine in an inward direction. To further prove the feasibility of genetically engineered TwMDR1 and improve alkaloid production, we performed a transient RNAi experiment on TwMDR1 in T. wilfordii Hook.f. suspension cells. Results indicated that release ratios of wilforine and wilforgine increased by 1.94- and 1.64-folds compared with that of the control group, respectively. This study provides bases for future studies that aim at increasing secretion ratios of alkaloids in root liquid cultures in vitro.

     

Influence of mist intervals and aeration rate on growth and second metabolite production of Pseudostellaria heterophylla adventitious roots in a siphon-mist bioreactor

Plant adventitious root culture in bioreactors is a promising alternative for the efficient production of medicinal herbs. Adventitious roots of Pseudostellaria heterophylla were induced from callus and then cultivated in a siphon-mist bioreactor. An orthogonal test established that the optimal medium for adventitious root induction was MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L naphthaleneacetic acid and 2.0 mg/L 3-indolybutyric acid. Under these conditions, the average root number was more than 14 on each 1.0 cm diameter callus and the rooting rate reached 100%. The bioreactor was equipped with an integral siphon-spraying device designed to automatically supply the liquid medium. The operation parameters of the bioreactor were assessed by varying the mist interval and the aeration velocity. The mist interval was negatively related to average growth rate of the adventitious roots and positively related to saponin and polysaccharide content. A relatively high aeration rate was necessary to achieve the maximum biomass production, but the secondary metabolite production was not enhanced by increasing the aeration velocity.     

Podophyllotoxin production via cell and adventitious root cultures of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Podophyllum peltatum</Emphasis>

Podophyllum peltatum is an important medicinal plant that produces podophyllotoxin (PTOX) with anti-cancer properties. We established the embryogenic cell and adventitious root culture systems in P. peltatum and analyzed PTOX production. For the growth of embryogenic cell clumps in shake flask culture, the most efficient concentration of 2,4-dichloroacetic acid (2,4-D) was 6.78 μM, and the growth of embryogenic cell clumps was 15.9-fold increased in Murashige and Skoog MS liquid medium with 6.78 μM 2,4-D after 3 wk of culture. To induce adventitious roots, half-strength MS medium showed the best results for adventitious root induction compared to full strength MS medium and MS medium lacking NH₄NO₃. Optimal indole-3-butyric acid concentration for adventitious root formation was 14.78 μM. In liquid medium, the frequency of adventitious root formation from root segments was 87.7% and the number of laterally formed adventitious roots was 22.3 per segment. PTOX production in embryogenic cells and adventitious roots was confirmed by liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization–tandem mass spectrometry analysis. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis revealed that adventitious roots contained higher PTOX than embryogenic cell clumps. Elicitor treatment (20 μM methyl jasmonate) strongly enhanced the production of PTOX in both embryogenic cell clumps and adventitious roots. This observation suggests that both embryogenic cell and adventitious root culture can be adopted to produce PTOX.     

Production of tropane alkaloids by small-scale bubble column bioreactor cultures of Scopolia parviflora adventitious roots

The mass production of tropane alkaloids from adventitious root cultures of Scopolia parviflora, in small-scale bubble column bioreactor (BCB) was attempted. Adventitious roots of S. parviflora produced relatively enhanced levels of scopolamine and hyoscyamine in bioreactor compared to flask type cultures, and rapidly produced root clumps, with continuously increasing biomass throughout the culture period. The production of scopolamine and hyoscyamine in the top and bottom regions of root clumps were higher than in the core region. The adventitious root cultures of S. parviflora in the BCB required a relatively high level of aeration. The optimized conditions for the bioreactor culture growth and alkaloid production were found to be 3g of inoculum, on a fresh weight basis, a 15-day culture period and 0.4vvm of airflow. The elicitation by Staphylococus aureus increased the specific compound of scopolamine, while the production of hyoscyamine was slightly inhibited in BCB cultures.
