Enhanced biosynthesis of dihydrodaidzein and dihydrogenistein by a newly isolated bovine rumen anaerobic bacterium

A rod-shaped and Gram-positive anaerobic bacterium, named Niu-O16, which was isolated from bovine rumen contents, was found to be capable of anaerobically converting isoflavones daidzein and genistein to dihydrodaidzein (DHD) and dihydrogenistein (DHG), respectively. The metabolites DHD and DHG were identified using EI-MS and NMR spectrometric analyses. Stereoisomeric metabolites, which were separated on chiral stationary phase HPLC, were formed in equal amounts by the strain Niu-O16. Tautomerization reaction occurred on the B-ring of DHD and DHG seems to be attributed to the equal production of stereoisomeric metabolites. For the synthesis of DHD, the strain Niu-O16 showed an optimal pH range from 6.0 to 7.0 and completely reduced up to 800 microM of daidzein to DHD with the initial OD600nm=1.0 and pH 7.0 for 3 days incubation. The strain Niu-O16, showed relatively faster reduction activity toward daidzein to produce DHD than the previously isolated human intestinal bacterium Clostridium sp. HGH6.     

Production of dihydrodaidzein and dihydrogenistein by a novel oxygen-tolerant bovine rumen bacterium in the presence of atmospheric oxygen

The original bovine rumen bacterial strain Niu-O16, capable of anaerobically bioconverting isoflavones daidzein and genistein to dihydrodaidzein (DHD) and dihydrogenistein (DHG), respectively, is a rod-shaped obligate anaerobic bacterium. After a long-term domestication, an oxygen-tolerant bacterium, which we named Aeroto-Niu-O16 was obtained. Strain Aeroto-Niu-O16, which can grow in the presence of atmospheric oxygen, differed from the original obligate anaerobic bacterium Niu-O16 by various characteristics, including a change in bacterial shape (from rod to filament), in biochemical traits (from indole negative to indole positive and from amylohydrolysis positive to negative), and point mutations in 16S rRNA gene (G398A and G438A). We found that strain Aeroto-Niu-O16 not only grew aerobically but also converted isoflavones daidzein and genistein to DHD and DHG in the presence of atmospheric oxygen. The bioconversion rate of daidzein and genistein by strain Aeroto-Niu-O16 was 60.3% and 74.1%, respectively. And the maximum bioconversion capacity for daidzein was 1.2 and 1.6 mM for genistein. Furthermore, when we added ascorbic acid (0.15%, m/v) in the cultural medium, the bioconversion rate of daidzein was increased from 60.3% to 71.7%, and that of genistein from 74.1% to 89.2%. This is the first reported oxygen-tolerant isoflavone biotransforming pure culture capable of both growing and executing the reductive activity under aerobic conditions.     

Transport Mechanisms for Soy Isoflavones and Microbial Metabolites Dihydrogenistein and Dihydrodaidzein Across Monolayers and Membranes

Isoflavone data concerning the metabolism and permeability on intestinal epithelial cells are scarce, particularly for microbial isoflavone metabolites. This study evaluates the absorption mechanisms for the isoflavones, genistein and daidzein, and their microbial metabolites, dihydrogenistein (DHG) and dihydrodaidzein (DHD). The permeability characteristics of isoflavones were compared by using the Caco-2 human colon adenocarcinoma cell line for a parallel artificial membrane permeability assay, and comparing their physicochemical properties. The data suggest that genistein, DHG and DHD were efficiently transported by passive diffusion according to the pH-partition hypothesis. Genistein was conjugated by phase II metabolizing enzymes and acted as a substrate of the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). Daidzein was not conjugated but did act as a substrate for BCRP, multidrug resistance-associated proteins, and P-glycoprotein. In contrast, DHG and DHD were markedly more permeable than their parent isoflavones; they were therefore difficult to transport by the efflux effect, and glucuronidation/sulfation was limited by the flux time.     

Conversion of Daidzein and Genistein by an Anaerobic Bacterium Newly Isolated from the Mouse Intestine

The metabolism of isoflavones by gut bacteria plays a key role in the availability and bioactivation of these compounds in the intestine. Daidzein and genistein are the most common dietary soy isoflavones. While daidzein conversion yielding equol has been known for some time, the corresponding formation of 5-hydroxy-equol from genistein has not been reported previously. We isolated a strictly anaerobic bacterium (Mt1B8) from the mouse intestine which converted daidzein via dihydrodaidzein to equol as well as genistein via dihydrogenistein to 5-hydroxy-equol. Strain Mt1B8 was a gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium identified as a member of the Coriobacteriaceae. Strain Mt1B8 also transformed dihydrodaidzein and dihydrogenistein to equol and 5-hydroxy-equol, respectively. The conversion of daidzein, genistein, dihydrodaidzein, and dihydrogenistein in the stationary growth phase depended on preincubation with the corresponding isoflavonoid, indicating enzyme induction. Moreover, dihydrogenistein was transformed even more rapidly in the stationary phase when strain Mt1B8 was grown on either genistein or daidzein. Growing the cells on daidzein also enabled conversion of genistein. This suggests that the same enzymes are involved in the conversion of the two isoflavones.     

Stimulatory effect of genistein and daidzein on protein synthesis in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells: activation of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase

The effect of genistein and daidzein on protein synthesis in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells in vitro was investigated to determine a cellular mechanism by which the isoflavones stimulate bone formation. Cells were cultured for 48 h in alpha-minimal essential medium containing either vehicle, genistein (l0(-7) - 10(-5) M) or daidzein (10(-7) - 10(-5) M). The 5,500 g supernatant of cell homogenate was used for assay of protein synthesis with [3H]leucine incorporation in vitro. The culture with genistein or daidzein caused a significant elevation of protein synthesis in the cell homogenate. The effect of genistein ( 10(-5) M) or daidzein ( 10(-5) M) in elevating protein synthesis was significantly prevented, when cells were cultured for 48 h in a medium containing either actinomycin D (10(-7) M) or cycloheximide (10(-6) M) in the absence or presence of isoflavones. Moreover, when genistein (10(-7) 10(-5) M) or daidzein (10(-6) and 10(-5) M) was added to the reaction mixture containing the cell homogenate obtained from osteoblastic cells cultured without isoflavone, protein synthesis was significantly raised. This increase was markedly blocked by the addition of cycloheximide (10(-7) M). In addition, [3H]leucyl-tRNA synthetase activity in the cytosol of osteoblastic cells was significantly increased by the addition of genistein (10(-6) and 10(-5) M) or daidzein (10(-5) M) into the enzyme reaction mixture. The present study demonstrates that genistein or daidzein can stimulate protein synthesis in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. The isoflavones may have a stimulatory effect on osteoblastic bone formation due to increasing protein synthesis.     

Genistein and daidzein induce neurotoxicity at high concentrations in primary rat neuronal cultures

Summary It is known that estrogen can protect neurons from excitotoxicity. Since isoflavones possess estrogen-like activity, it is of interest to determine whether isoflavones can also protect neurons from glutamate-induced neuronal injury. Morphological observation and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay were used to estimate the cellular damage. It is surprising that, contrary to estrogen, isoflavones, specifically genistein and daidzein, are toxic to primary neuronal culture at high concentration. Treatment of neurons with 50 μM genistein and daidzein for 24 h increased LDH release by 90% and 67%, respectively, indicating a significant cellular damage. Under the same conditions, estrogen such as 17β-estradiol did not show any effect on primary culture of brain cells. At 100 μM, both genistein and daidzein increased LDH release by 2.6- and 3-fold, respectively with a 30-min incubation. Furthermore, both genistein and daidzein at 50 μM increased the intracellular calcium level, [Ca²⁺]_i, significantly. To determine their mode of action, genistein and daidzein were tested on glutamate and GABA_A receptor binding. Both genistein and daidzein were found to have little effect on glutamate receptor binding, while the binding of [³H]muscimol to GABA_A receptors was markedly inhibited. However, 17β-estradiol did not affect GABA_A receptor binding suggesting that the toxic effect of genistein and daidzein could be due to their inhibition of the GABA_A receptor resulting in further enhancement of excitation by glutamate and leading to cellular damage.

Inhibitory effect of isoflavones on peroxynitrite-mediated low-density lipoprotein oxidation

Peroxynitrite, a potent oxidant formed in vivo from the reaction of nitric oxide with superoxide, can mediate low-density liprotein (LDL) oxidation which is thought to increase the risk of atherosclerosis. This study investigates the inhibitory effect of the isoflavones, genistein and daidzein, together with their glycosidic forms, genistin and daidzin, on the peroxynitrite-mediated LDL oxidation and nitration of tyrosine. Genistein and daidzein were observed to dose-dependently inhibit peroxynitrite-mediated LDL oxidation, while their glucoside conjugates showed less activity. Moreover, all the isoflavones used in this study were found to be potent peroxynitrite scavengers, preventing the nitration of tyrosine. The ability of the isoflavones at 50 microM to decrease the tyrosine nitration induced by peroxynitrite (1 mM) was in the ratios of genistein (49%), daidzein (40%), daidzin (41%) and genistin (42%) when compared to the control (tyrosine incubated only with peroxynitrite). These results suggest that an intake of isoflavones could contribute to protecting against cardiovascular diseases and chronic inflammatory diseases.
