Alkaloid production by plant cell suspension cultures of Holarrhena antidysenterica: I. Effect of major nutrients

The effect of major nutrients on growth and alkaloid production by plant cell culture of Holarrhena antidysenterica was studied with a view to increasing the yield of the alkaloid conessine, a therapeutic drug used for treatment of dysentery and helminthic disorders. The studies resulted in development of a modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium that contained 60 mM total nitrogen with a NH(4) (+)-to-NO(3) (-) ratio of 5:1, 0.25 mM phosphate, and 40 g/L sucrose. The growth regulators 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) and kinetin (Kn) were also found to affect the synthesis of alkaloid. Using an optimal level of inoculum (3 g/L), the modified medium resulted in alkaloid synthesis of 0.66 g/100 g dry cell weight, which represented a 4.25-fold increase over that obtained in standard MS medium.     

Anticarcinogenic Alkaloids in the Cultured Cells of Cephalotaxus fortunei

Calli were induced from the leaves and stems of Cephalotaxus fortunei Hook. f. on MS medium supplemented with 0. 1 mg/L KT and 3 mg/L NAA, and from which the suspension culture cell line of this plant was established for the first time. Factors such as light, pH value of the medium, concentration of plant hormone, carbon resources and addition of substances to the medium, which affect the growth of suspension cells were investigated. The results showed that suspension cells grew appropriately at pH 5.8 with a low concentration of sucrose or glucose, and a low level of NAA. No difference effect on cell growth was seen between sucrose and glucose. Phenylalanine and protein hydrolysate were not suitable for cell growth in suspension cultures, and light inhibited cell growth. A sensitive and rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for detecting the alkaloids in cultured cells. The results revealed the following contents of cephalotaxine and its anticancer esters in cultured cells: harringtonine, isoharringtonine and homoharringtonine. The total alkaloid production in cell suspension cultures was doubled as that in solid cultures. The relative amounts of cephalotaxine, drupacine, harringtonine, homoharringtonine and isoharringtonine in suspension cells was 22%, 6%, 8%, 23% and 41% respectively. In addition, other alkaloid as deoxyharringtonine and some steroids, including ergdst-5-en-3-ol. stigmasta-5, 22-dien-3-ol, β-sitosterin and 2-naphthalenamine have also been detected in cell cultures using GC/MS combined technique.     

Alkaloid production in Vernonia cinerea: Callus, cell suspension and root cultures

Fast-growing callus, cell suspension and root cultures of Vernonia cinerea, a medicinal plant, were analyzed for the presence of alkaloids. Callus and root cultures were established from young leaf explants in Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal media supplemented with combinations of auxins and cytokinins, whereas cell suspension cultures were established from callus cultures. Maximum biomass of callus, cell suspension and root cultures were obtained in the medium supplemented with 1 mg/L alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 5 mg/L benzylaminopurine (BA), 1.0 mg/L NAA and 0.1 mg/L BA and 1.5 mg/L NAA, respectively. The 5-week-old callus cultures resulted in maximum biomass and alkaloid contents (750 microg/g). Cell suspension growth and alkaloid contents were maximal in 20-day-old cultures and alkaloid contents were 1.15 mg/g. A 0.2-g sample of root tissue regenerated in semi-solid medium upon transfer to liquid MS medium containing 1.5 mg/L NAA regenerated a maximum increase in biomass of 6.3-fold over a period of 5 weeks. The highest root growth and alkaloid contents of 2 mg/g dry weight were obtained in 5-week-old cultures. Maximum alkaloid contents were obtained in root cultures in vitro compared to all others including the alkaloid content of in vivo obtained with aerial parts and roots (800 microg/g and 1.2 mg/g dry weight, respectively) of V. cinerea.

Production of emetine and cephaeline from cell suspension and excised root cultures of Cephaelis ipecacuanha

Production of the ipecac alkaloids, emetine and cephaeline was studied in cell suspension and excised root cultures of Cephaelis ipecacuanha. A two-stage cell suspension culture was developed for enhanced accumulation of the alkaloids. In the first-stage, suspension cultures were established in Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium containing 2,4-D and NAA which was suitable for cell growth and the second-stage culture system was composed of MS medium containing IBA, IAA and 6% sucrose which favoured alkaloid production. The production of emetine and cephaeline was greatly increased in the two-stage culture method compared to the single-stage culture. Optimal alkaloid synthesis was obtained in excised root culture of the plant in medium composed of half-strength MS salts, IBA (0.25 mgl⁻¹) and 2% sucrose. A discernible higher accumulation of cephaeline in two-stage cell suspension culture as well as in excised root culture in comparison to that of the three-year-old roots was a     

Asiaticoside production from centella (Centella asiatica L. Urban) cell culture

Petiole explants of centella plants (Centella asiatica L. Urban) were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) solid medium containing 20 g/L sucrose, supplemented with 1.0 mg/L benzylaminopurine and 1.0 mg/L naphthaleneacetic acid for callus production. To establish a cell suspension culture, 2 g of fresh callus was cultured in 50 mL of the same medium but without solid agent at a 100 rpm agitation speed. Every 2 g of culture was subcultured in fresh MS liquid medium for maintenance. After 24 days of culture at a 120 rpm agitation speed, the centella cell biomass reached a maximum of 9.03 g/50 mL on the same MS medium with 30 g/L sucrose and a 3 g inoculum size. A high performance liquid chromatography analysis showed that asiaticoside content in 24-day old suspension cultured cells (45.35 mg/g dry weight) was significantly higher (4.5 fold) than that of in planta leaves (10.55 mg/g dry weight).

Effect of sucrose and methyl jasmonate on biomass and anthocyanin production in cell suspension culture of Melastoma malabathricum (Melastomaceae)

Melastoma malabathricum, belongs to the Melastomaceae family, is an important medicinal plant widely distributed from Madagascar to Australia, that is used in traditional remedies for the treatment of various ailments. Besides its medicinal properties, it has been identified as a potential source of anthocyanin production. The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of sucrose and methyl jasmonate and feeding time on cell biomass yield and anthocyanin production in cell suspension culture of M. malabathricum. Addition of different concentrations of sucrose into the cell culture of M. malabathricum influenced cell biomass and pigment accumulation. The addition of methyl jasmonate was found to have no effect on cell biomass but the presence of higher amount (12.5-50 mg/L) had caused a reduction in anthocyanin production and accumulation. MS medium supplemented with 30 g/L sucrose and 3.5 mg/L of MeJA added on cero day and 3rd day produced high fresh cell mass at the end of nine days of culture but did not support the production of anthocyanins. However, cells cultured in the medium supplemented with 45 g/L sucrose without MeJA showed the highest pigment content (0.69 +/- 0.22 CV/g-FCM). The cells cultured in MS medium supplemented with 30 g/L sucrose with 3.5 mg/L MeJA added on the 3rd and 6th day of culture, showed the lowest pigment content (0.37-0.40 CV/g-FCM). This study indicated that MeJA was not necessary but sucrose was needed for the enhancement of cell growth and anthocyanin production in M. malabathricum cell cultures.     

Plant Regeneration from Cell Supension Derived Protoplasts of Heracleum moellendorffii

Heracleum moellendorffiz Hance is a herb belonging to Umbelliferae used in traditional medicine in China. The young stem-nodes were induced for callus formation on MS medium containing 1 mg/L 2,4-D. After subcultured for about five months, the embryogenic calli were used for cell suspension culture. The protoplasts were prepared from this suspension by digestion with enzyme mixture containing 1. 5% cellulase Onozuka R-10 +0. 3% macerozyme R-10 + 0. 5% snailase + 5 mmol CaCl2 + 0. 6 mol/L mannitol, at pH 5.8, and cultured in modified MS and modified N6 media with 0.3 % agarose. They divided after 3 days and developed into small cell colonies after about 2 weeks. From this time on, the glucose concentration in the culture media was decreased to 0. 2 mol/L,which led to futher growth of the colonies to small calf . After a period of proliferation on solid medium with 0. 5 mg/L 2,4-D, the calli were transferred to a medium with 0. 1 mg/L zeatin on which somatic embryos differentiated and developed to plantlets     

沙打旺悬浮培养细胞原生质体的体细胞胚胎发生再生植株

Protoplasts from 4-day-old embryogenic cell suspension cultures of Astragalus adsurgens, when cultured in KM8P medium which ammonium concentration was reduced to 2.5 mmol/L and supplemented with 0.5 mg/L NAA, 1.0 mg/L 2, 4-D, 0.7 mg/L BA and 0.4 mol/L glucose, underwent cell sustained divisions and formed cell colonies at a frequency of 16%-20%. Preplasmolysis or low temperature treatment of suspension cells prior to enzyme incubation enhanced colony formation. Following proliferation on MS medium containing 1.0 mg/L 2, 4-D and 0.5 mg/L BA, cell colonies were cultured on MS medium containing 0.1 mg/L NAA and 1.0 mg/L BA, where approximately 40% of colonies produced somatic embryos ranging in number from 20 to 40 per colony. No significant decrease was found in the potential of somatic embryogenesis when protoplast colonies were obtained from long-term cell suspensions. On hormone-free 1/2 MS medium, somatic embryos developed into intact plants, which showed normal morphology and stable chromosome number.     

Effects of Culture Conditions on Tropane Alkaloid Formation in Hyoscyamus niger Suspension Cultures

Tropane alkaloid formation was studied under various culture conditions in suspension cultures of Hyoscyamus niger L. High aeration increased cell growth and the contents of hyoscyamine and scopolamine. White’s medium inhibited cell growth but increased the hyoscyamine content. The low concentrations of nitrogen and phosphate in White’s medium were responsible for such effects. NAA promoted cell growth but inhibited hyoscyamine formation. A hyoscyamine content of 0.05% dry weight (DW) (0.14 mg in 25 ml of culture medium) was achieved in modified LS medium in which the phosphate concentration was decreased to 0.2 mm and the auxin omitted.

Effects of precursor feeding on alkaloid formation were also studied with the putative precursors of hyoscyamine. N-Methylputrescine, tropine, phenylalanine, and tropic acid increased alkaloid formation, but the promotive effect of these precursors varied from one experiment to another.     

Plant Regeneration from Protoplast of Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn

Calll were initiated from the seedling segment of Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn and subcultured on the MS agar medium with 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D. Cell suspension culture with a lot of embryogenic cell clumps was obtained in liquid medium. Protoplasts were isolated from the cell clumps in enzyme mixture solution containing 1.5% Onozuka R-10, 0.3% Macerozyme R-10, 0.5% helicase, 5 mmol/L CaCl2 and 0.6 mol/L mannital, at pH 5.6 and shaking for 5- hours at 25℃. Helicase is necessary for isolation. After purified by washing, the protoplasts were cultured in liquid medium containing 1 mg/L 2,4-D +0.5 mg/L zeatin. First cell division was observed after four days. Large cell clumps were formed after thirty days. Microcalli of 1 mm in size was formed after about fifty days, and continued to grow on the MS solid medium containing 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D and 200 mg/L casein hydrolysate, and later differentiated into embryoids when transferred to MS agar medium with 0.1 mg/L zeatin. Eventually, embryoids developed into whole plantlets on the MS solid medium without phytohormones.

Cell Culture and Selection of High Flavonoids- producing Cell Lines in Saussurea medusa

Explants of stems and leaves of Saussurea medusa Maxim. were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L BA, 2 mg/L NAA, and from which factors, such as the media, plant hormones and culture temperature, as well as the addition of phenylalanine to the medium, that affect the callus growth, were investigated. The results showed that cells grew appropriately in MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/L NAA at 25 ℃. Phenylalanine was not suitable for cell growth in solid culture but it increased flavonoid production. The calli could be distinguished by colour with naked eyes into two cell lines, a faint yellow (A) and a red coloured (B), representing respectively the different colour of metabolite accumulations. A sensitive and rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic as well as a UV spectrophotometric method have been developed for detecting the flavonoids in cultured cells. It revealed that the A line contained 1.9% flavonoids and 0.42% jaceosidin, which was 2.5 times and 3.9 times more than B line; 2.6 and 4.2 times more than the initial callus cells respectively.
