Brazilin and the extract from Caesalpinia sappan L. protect oxidative injury through the expression of heme oxygenase-1

In this study, we examined the protective effects of Caesalpinia sappan L. and its major component, brazilin, against tert-butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced cell death in House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 (HEI-OC1) cells. We found that the extract of C. sappan L. and brazilin induced antioxidant response element (ARE)-luciferase activity and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression in a concentration-dependent manner. The inductive effect of brazilin was more potent than the extract of C. sappan L. and the expression of HO-1 reached a peak at 12 h after brazilin treatment. The extract and brazilin protected the cells against t-BHP-induced cell death. Their protective effects were abrogated by zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPP IX), a HO inhibitor. These results demonstrate that the extract of C. sappan L. and brazilin induce the expression of HO-1 and the enzyme diminishes t-BHP-induced cell death in HEI-OC1 cells.     

Caffeic acid oligomers in Lithospermum erythrorhizon cell suspension cultures

Lithospermum erythrorhizon cells cultured in pigment production (M-9) medium produced lithospermic acid B, a dimerized caffeic acid ester derivative, in quantities similar to the production of shikonin. The cells also produced a related dimer, (+)-rabdosiin. In Linsmaier-Skoog liquid medium, which suppresses shikonin production, both lithospermic acid B and (+)-rabdosiin were still formed. Lithospermic acid, a caffeic acid-rosmarinic acid conjugate, was isolated as a main constituent in Lithospermum hairy root cultures. In the aerial parts of L. erythrorhizon, the content of these phenylpropanoid oligomers was relatively low compared to that of rosmarinic acid.     

Human ACAT inhibitory effects of shikonin derivatives from Lithospermum erythrorhizon

Three naphthoquinones were isolated by bioassay-guided fractionation from the CHCl(3) extracts of roots of Lithospermum erythrorhizon. They were identified as acetylshikonin (1), isobutyrylshikonin (2), and beta-hydroxyisovalerylshikonin (3) on the basis of their spectroscopic analyses. The compounds 1-3 were tested for their inhibitory activities against human ACAT-1 (hACAT-1) or human ACAT-2 (hACAT-2). Compound 2 preferentially inhibited hACAT-2 (IC(50)=57.5microM) than hACAT-1 (32% at 120microM), whereas compounds 1 and 3 showed weak inhibitory activities in both hACAT-1 and -2. To develop more potent hACAT inhibitor, shikonin derivatives (5-11) were synthesized by semi-synthesis of shikonin (4), which was prepared by hydrolysis of 1-3. Among them, compounds 5 and 7 exhibited the strong inhibitory activities against hACAT-1 and -2. Furthermore, we demonstrated that compound 7 behaved as a potent ACAT inhibitor in not only in vitro assay system but also cell-based assay system.     

High level expression of chorismate pyruvate-lyase (UbiC) and HMG-CoA reductase in hairy root cultures of Lithospermum erythrorhizon

Shikonin, a red naphthoquinone pigment, is produced by cell cultures of Lithospermum erythrorhizon (Boraginaceae). It is biosynthetically derived from two key precursors, 4-hydroxybenzoate (4HB) and geranyldiphosphate (GPP). The bacterial ubiC gene, encoding chorismate pyruvate-lyase (CPL) which converts chorismate to 4-hydroxybenzoate, was expressed in L. erythrorhizon under the control of the strong (ocs)(3)mas-promoter. This introduced an efficient biosynthetic pathway to 4HB, i.e. a one-step reaction from chorismate, in addition to the endogeneous multi-step phenylpropanoid pathway. Feeding experiments with [1,7-(13)C(2)]shikimic acid showed that in the most active transgenic line, 73% of 4HB was synthesized via the genetically introduced pathway. However, there was no correlation between CPL activity and 4HB glucoside or shikonin accumulation in the transgenic lines. HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR) is involved in the biosynthesis of GPP in L. erythrorhizon. Two forms of HMGR1 of Arabidopsis thaliana were expressed in Lithospermum under control of the (ocs)(3)mas promoter. Only moderate increases in enzyme activity were obtained with the complete enzyme, but high activity was achieved using the soluble cytosolic domain of HMGR1. Shikonin accumulation remained unchanged even upon high expression of soluble HMGR.     

A novel dark-inducible protein, LeDI-2, and its involvement in root-specific secondary metabolism in Lithospermum erythrorhizon

Lithospermum erythrorhizon produces red naphthoquinone pigments that are shikonin derivatives. They are accumulated exclusively in the roots of this plant. The biosynthesis of shikonin is strongly inhibited by light, even though other environmental conditions are optimized. Thus, L. erythrorhizon dark-inducible genes (LeDIs) were isolated to investigate the regulatory mechanism of shikonin biosynthesis. LeDI-2, showing the strict dark-specific expression, was further characterized by use of cell suspension cultures and hairy root cultures as model systems. Its mRNA accumulation showed a similar pattern with that of shikonin. In the intact plants LeDI-2 expression was observed solely in the root, and the longitudinal distribution of its mRNA was also in accordance to that of shikonin. LeDI-2 encoded a very hydrophobic polypeptide of 114 amino acids that shared significant similarities with some root-specific polypeptides such as ZRP3 (maize) and RcC3 (rice). Reduction of LeDI-2 expression by its antisense DNA in hairy roots of L. erythrorhizon decreased the shikonin accumulation, whereas other biosynthetic enzymes, e.g. p-hydroxybenzoic acid:geranyltransferase, which catalyzed a critical biosynthetic step, showed similar activity as the wild-type clone. This is the first report of the gene that is involved in production of secondary metabolites without affecting biosynthetic enzyme activities.

Glucosylation of esculetin by plant cell suspension cultures

Cell suspension cultures of Lithospermum erythrorhizon, Gardenia jasminoides and Nicotiana tabacum were capable of glucosylating esculetin to esculin (7-hydroxycoumarin-6-O-β-D-glucoside). Especially, a culture strain of Lithospermum erythrorhizon was superior in the esculetin glucosylating capability; 40 to 50% of esculetin administered to the culture medium at early stationary growth stage was converted into esculin within 24 h. The rate of glucosylation was also dependent on the growth stage and the medium composition especially growth hormones and sugar.
