본 연구는 싸리나무 잎에서 분리한 flavonoid 화합물인 eriodictyol의 항산화 활성을 평가하기 위해 hydrogen peroxide로 산화적 스트레스를 유도한 HepG2 세포에서 eriodictyol 화합물의 처리가 SOD-1, SOD-2, CAT 및 GPx의 유전자 발현에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 또한 간 기능 지표효소인 GOT, LDH 및 GGT 활성을 분석하였다. 그리고 세포 내 활성산소종 생성 억제 효능을 분석하기 위하여 DCFH-DA assay를 실시하여 eriodictyol 화합물의 기능성 소재로서의 가능성을 알아보고자 본 실험을 하였다. Eriodictyol 화합물의 세포독성을 확인하기 위하여 HepG2 세포주를 이용하여 실시한 결과 eriodictyol 화합물을 10~50 μg/mL의 농도로 처리한 모든 실험군에서 약 98% 이상의 세포생존율을 나타내었다. 항산화 효소 유전자 발현량을 통한 산화스트레스 억제 효과를 분석하기 위하여 HepG2 세포주에 hydrogen peroxide를 처리하여 산화스트레스가 증가시킨 조건에서 eriodictyol 화합물을 처리하여 SOD-1, SOD-2, CAT 및 GPx 발현량을 분석한 결과 eriodictyol 화합물의 처리 농도가 증가할수록 hydrogen peroxide 처리에 의해 감소한 SOD-1, SOD-2, CAT 및 GPx 발현량이 유의적으로 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 간 기능 지표효소 활성을 측정하기 위해 GOT, LDH 및 GGT 활성을 분석한 결과 hydrogen peroxide로 단독 처리한 대조군과 eriodictyol 화합물을 처리한 군을 비교하였을 때 eriodictyol 화합물을 처리한 군에서 hydrogen peroxide 처리에 의해 증가한 GOT, LDH 및 GGT 활성이 유의적으로 감소하였다. HepG2 세포주에 eriodictyol 화합물을 처리하여 세포 내 활성산소종 생성에 미치는 영향을 DCFH-DA assay로 확인한 결과 eriodictyol 화합물의 농도가 증가함에 따라 세포 내 활성산소종의 생성을 억제하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 실험을 통하여 eriodictyol 화합물은 산화적 스트레스로부터 항산화 효소 활성을 증가시키며, 활성산소종의 생성을 억제하는 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 간 기능 지표효소의 활성을 감소시켜 세포 보호 효과를 나타내어 항산화 활성 및 세포 보호 효과를 나타내는 기능성 소재로써 이용 가능성이 높을 것으로 판단되며, 후속연구를 통해 싸리나무 유래 eriodictyol 화합물의 세포 내 항산화 단백질 발현에 미치는 영향 및 동물실험을 통한 항산화 효과를 검증하는 것이 필요할 것으로 생각된다. This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects of eriodictyol compound against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress in HepG2 cells by measuring expression levels of antioxidant enzymes, liver function index enzyme activities, and inhibitory effects against reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. HepG2 cell viability was assessed using 3-(4,5-dimethyl thiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay. In the concentration range of 10∼50 μg/mL, eriodictyol displayed over 98% cell viability in HepG2 cells. The effects of increased gene expression on hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress were analyzed by monitoring antioxidant enzyme (superoxide dismutase, SOD; catalase, CAT; glutathione peroxidase, GPx) gene expression levels using real-time PCR. Eriodictyol compound significantly increased gene expression levels of SOD, CAT, and GPx in a dose-dependent manner (10∼50 μg/mL). Hepatoprotective effects against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress were analyzed by monitoring glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activities in HepG2 cell culture medium using a biochemistry analyzer. Eriodictyol compound significantly reduced GOT, LDH, and GGT activities in a dose-dependent manner in HepG2 cells. ROS level in HepG2 cells was analyzed by 2",7"-dichlorofluorescein fluorescence diacetate assay, and eriodictyol compound effectively reduced the intracellular ROS level in HepG2 cells. The results reveal that eriodictyol compound can be useful for development of effective antioxidant and hepatoprotective agents.

Ui Hyeon Oh,Kim Da-Hye,Lee Jungwhoi,Han Song-I,Kim Jae-Hoon 한국응용생명화학회 2022 Journal of Applied Biological Chemistry (J. Appl. Vol.65 No.2

Although it has been intensively studied over the past few decades, pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal cancers. Eriodictyol, a plant-derived flavonoid mainly found in citrus fruits, exerts diverse biological effects, including antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we investigated the anticancer properties of eriodictyol and its mechanisms of action in pancreatic cancer cells. In both SNU213 and Panc-1 cells, eriodictyol decreased viability, induced apoptosis, and decreased clonogenicity. In addition, eriodictyol treatment increased the phosphorylation level of JNK and decreased the phosphorylation levels of ERK, FAK, and AKT. These observations provide insight into the molecular mechanisms of eriodictyol-induced apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cell lines, and could contribute to the development of candidate compounds for treating pancreatic cancer.

이재학(Jae-Hak Lee),주진우(Jin-Woo Jhoo) 한국식품과학회 2012 한국식품과학회지 Vol.44 No.6

본 연구에서는 싸리나무의 부위별 항산화활성을 검토하기 위하여 각 부위별 물, 50, 70, 100% 에탄올 용액과 열수추출조건을 이용하여 얻은 추출물의 DPPH 및 ABTS 라디칼 소거능, 총 페놀성 화합물의 함량을 비교분석하였다. 싸리나무 잎의 경우 70% 에탄올 수용액, 줄기 및 뿌리의 경우는 50% 에탄올 수용액을 이용하여 추출하는 것이 높은 추출수율을 나타내는 경향을 나타내었다. 부위별 추출조건에 따른 DPPH 라디칼 소거력을 분석한 결과는 싸리나무 잎의 경우 70% 에탄올 추출물이 높은 라디칼 소거능을 나타었으나, 추출용액의 에탄올 비율에 따른 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 줄기 및 뿌리의 경우에는 50% 에탄올 추출물이 가장 우수한 DPPH 라디칼 소거능을 가지는 것으로 확인할 수 있었다. 각 부위별 물 추출물은 에탄올 수용액을 이용한 추출물에 비하여 낮은 라디칼 소거능을 보였으며, 열수추출조건에 얻은 추출물의 라디칼 소거능은 물 추출물에 비하여 소거능이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. ABTS 라디칼 소거력을 분석한 결과는 싸리나무 잎의 경우 100% 에탄올 추출물이 다른 추출조건에서 얻은 추출물에 비하여 우수한 라디칼 소거능을 나타내는 경향을 보였으며, 줄기 및 뿌리의 경우에는 50% 및 70% 에탄올 추출물이 우수한 라디칼 소거능을 가지는 것으로 확인할 수 있었다. 각 부위별 물 추출물은 제일 낮은 라디칼 소거능을 보였으며, 열수추출에 의해 얻은 추출물의 ABTS 라디칼 소거능은 물 추출물에 비하여 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 각 부위별 총 페놀성 화합물 함량을 분석한 결과 50% 에탄올 추출물이 가장 높은 페놀성 화합물의 함량을 가지는 경향을 보였으며, 물 추출물의 페놀성 화합물의 함량은 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 열수추출에 의해 페놀성 화합물의 함량이 증가하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 싸리나무의 부위별 유기용매를 이용하여 얻은 분획물의 항산화활성을 분석한 결과 잎, 줄기 및 뿌리 부위에서 에틸아세테이트 분획물에서 가장 높은 DPPH 및 ABTS 소거능을 보였으며, 각 부위는 동일한 경향으로 부탄올 분획물 >클로로포름 분획물 >물 분획물 순으로 라디칼 소거능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 싸리나무의 경우 식품소재로 이용이 가능한 잎 부위를 이용하여 항산화 유효물질을 확인하기 위한 antioxidant asssay-guided isolation을 실시하였으며, 가장 라디칼 소거능이 우수한 분획인 LBFR1에서 compound 1을 분리하였다. 이의 화학적 구조를 ¹H 및 ¹³C NMR, MS를 이용하여 분석한 결과 플라보노이드 화합물인 eriodictyol로 동정할 수 있었다. 분리한 eriodictyol의 DPPH 라디칼 소거능을 분석한 결과 EC₅₀은 5.98 μg/mL로 분석되었으며, ABTS 라디칼 소거력 분석을 통해 TEAC value는 0.7881로 분석되어 높은 항산화활성을 가지는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 싸리나무 잎에 함유되어 eriodictyol의 함량을 HPLC를 이용하여 분석한 결과 10.50 mg/g of dry weight 으로 분석되어 잎에 함유되어 있는 플라보노이드 화합물을 이용한 기능성 소재로 개발 가능성을 기대할 수 있었다. In this study, total antioxidant properties of extracts from different parts of Lespedeza bicolor were determined using techniques of measuring 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl/2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)-radical scavenging activity and total phenolic contents. The total antioxidant activities of leaf, stem and root extracts from various solvents (water, 50, 70, 100% ethanol, and hot-water) indicated that 50 and 70% ethanol extracts have high radical scavenging activities and phenolic contents. A systematic approach was used to determine the total antioxidant activity of different solvent fractions of the Lespedeza bicolor extracts, partitioning with chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water, and the ethyl acetate fraction was found to have the strongest antioxidant activity. Antioxidant assay-guided isolation was carried out to isolate potential antioxidant compounds. The ethyl acetate fraction of the leaf extract was subjected to silica gel, LH-20 and RP-18 column chromatography successively, and afforded compound 1, which was identified as eriodictyol by NMR and MS analysis, after which its antioxidant activity was determined.

BMB Reports : Binding model for eriodictyol to Jun-N terminal kinase and its anti-inflammatory signaling pathway

( Eun Jung Lee ),( Ki Woong Jeong ),( Areum Shin ),( Bong Hwan Jin ),( Hum Nath Jnawali ),( Bong Hyun Jun ),( Jee Young Lee ),( Yong Seok Heo ),( Yang Mee Kim ) 생화학분자생물학회 2013 BMB Reports Vol.46 No.12

The anti-inflammatory activity of eriodictyol and its mode of action were investigated. Eriodictyol suppressed tumor necrosis factor (mTNF)-α, inducible nitric oxide synthase (miNOS), interleukin (mIL)-6, macrophage inflammatory protein (mMIP)-1, and mMIP-2 cytokine release in LPS-stimulated macrophages. We found that the anti-inflammatory cascade of eriodictyol is mediated through the Toll-like Receptor (TLR)4/CD14, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), extracellular-signalregulated kinase (ERK), Jun-N terminal kinase (JNK), and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 pathway. Fluorescence quenching and saturation-transfer difference (STD) NMR experiments showed that eriodictyol exhibits good binding affinity to JNK, 8.79 × 105 M-1. Based on a docking study, we propose a model of eriodictyol and JNK binding, in which eriodictyol forms 3 hydrogen bonds with the side chains of Lys55, Met111, and Asp169 in JNK, and in which the hydroxyl groups of the B ring play key roles in binding interactions with JNK. Therefore, eriodictyol may be a potent anti-inflammatory inhibitor of JNK. [BMB Reports 2013; 46(12): 594-599]

Eriodictyol Inhibits the Production and Gene Expression of MUC5AC Mucin via the IκBα-NF-κB p65 Signaling Pathway in Airway Epithelial Cells

( Chawon Yun ),( Hyun Jae Lee ),( Choong Jae Lee ) 한국응용약물학회 2021 Biomolecules & Therapeutics(구 응용약물학회지) Vol.29 No.6

In this study, we investigated whether eriodictyol exerts an effect on the production and gene expression of MUC5AC mucin in human pulmonary epithelial NCI-H292 cells. The cells were pretreated with eriodictyol for 30 min and then stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) for 24 h. The effect of eriodictyol on PMA-induced nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway was also investigated. Eriodictyol suppressed the MUC5AC mucin production and gene expression induced by PMA via suppression of inhibitory kappa Bα degradation and NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation. These results suggest that eriodictyol inhibits mucin gene expression and production in human airway epithelial cells via regulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Zhang, Wei-Yun,Lee, Jung-Jin,Kim, Yohan,Kim, In-Su,Han, Joo-Hui,Lee, Sang-Gil,Ahn, Min-Ju,Jung, Sang-Hyuk,Myung, Chang-Seon American Chemical Society 2012 Journal of agricultural and food chemistry Vol.60 No.31

<P>Eriodictyol [2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-5,7-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydrochromen-4-one] is a flavonoid with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Because inflammation and oxidative stress play critical roles in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus, the present study was designed to explore whether eriodictyol has therapeutic potential for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The results show that eriodictyol increased insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in both human hepatocellular liver carcinoma cells (HepG2) and differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes under high-glucose conditions. Eriodictyol also up-regulated the mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ2 (PPARγ2) and adipocyte-specific fatty acid-binding protein (aP2) as well as the protein levels of PPARγ2 in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Furthermore, it reactivated Akt in HepG2 cells with high-glucose-induced insulin resistance. This response was strongly inhibited by pretreatment with the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002, indicating that eriodictyol increased Akt phosphorylation by activating the PI3K/Akt pathway. These results imply that eriodictyol can increase glucose uptake and improve insulin resistance, suggesting that it may possess antidiabetic properties.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/jafcau/2012/jafcau.2012.60.issue-31/jf300601z/production/images/medium/jf-2012-00601z_0005.gif'></P>

The Anti-apoptotic and Anti-oxidant Effect of Eriodictyol on UV-Induced Apoptosis in Keratinocytes

Lee, Eung-Ryoung,Kim, Jung-Hyun,Kang, Yong-Jin,Cho, Ssang-Goo Pharmaceutical Society of Japan 2007 BIOLOGICAL & PHARMACEUTICAL BULLETIN Vol.30 No.1

<P>Recently, considerable scientific and therapeutic interest has focused on the structure and functions of the flavonoids. In a previous study, we suggested that hydroxyl (OH) substitutions on specific carbons in the skeleton of the flavonoids might significantly affect their apoptosis-modulating properties. Here, to investigate the effect of various OH substitutions on their diphenylpropane (C6C3C6) skeleton carbons, we selected 10 different flavonoids and assessed their role on UV-induced apoptosis of human keratinocytes, the principal cell type of epidermis. The results showed that 5,7,3′,4′-tetrahydroxylflavanone (eriodictyol) and 3,4′-dihydroxy flavone (3,4′-DHF) had a positive effect on cell proliferation of human HaCaT keratinocytes. Treatment with eriodictyol in particular resulted in significant suppression of cell death induced by ultraviolet (UV) light, a major skin-damaging agent. We found that eriodictyol treatment apparently reduced the percentage of apoptotic cells and the cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, concomitant with the repression of caspase-3 activation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. The anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidant effects of eriodictyol were also confirmed in UV-induced cell death of normal human epidermal keratinocyte (NHEK) cells. Taken together, these findings suggest that eriodictyol can be used to protect keratinocytes from UV-induced damage, implying the presence of a complex structure–activity relationship (SAR) in the differential apoptosis-modulating activities of various flavonoids.</P>

Eriodictyol Protects Endothelial Cells against Oxidative Stress-Induced Cell Death through Modulating ERK/Nrf2/ARE-Dependent Heme Oxygenase-1 Expression

Lee, Seung Eun,Yang, Hana,Son, Gun Woo,Park, Hye Rim,Park, Cheung-Seog,Jin, Young-Ho,Park, Yong Seek MDPI 2015 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SCIENCES Vol.16 No.7

<P>The pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases is complex and may involve oxidative stress-related pathways. Eriodictyol is a flavonoid present in citrus fruits that demonstrates anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, neurotrophic, and antioxidant effects in a range of pathophysiological conditions including vascular diseases. Because oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease, the present study was designed to verify whether eriodictyol has therapeutic potential. Upregulation of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a phase II detoxifying enzyme, in endothelial cells is considered to be helpful in cardiovascular disease. In this study, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with eriodictyol showed the upregulation of HO-1 through extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/antioxidant response element (ARE) signaling pathways. Further, eriodictyol treatment provided protection against hydrogen peroxide-provoked cell death. This protective effect was eliminated by treatment with a specific inhibitor of HO-1 and RNA interference-mediated knockdown of HO-1 expression. These data demonstrate that eriodictyol induces ERK/Nrf2/ARE-mediated HO-1 upregulation in human endothelial cells, which is directly associated with its vascular protection against oxidative stress-related endothelial injury, and propose that targeting the upregulation of HO-1 is a promising approach for therapeutic intervention in cardiovascular disease.</P>

이승은,박혜림,윤홍덕,조정제,안현종,박증석,박용식 한국바이오칩학회 2017 BioChip Journal Vol.11 No.3

Eriodictyol, a flavonoid commonly found in citrus fruits, shows neurotrophic, antioxidant, anti- inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects under diverse pathophysiological conditions such as vascular diseases. In this study, we evaluated whether eriodictyol modulates miRNA and mRNA expression. Using microarray analysis, we examined miRNA and mRNA expression in human endothelial cells treated with 10 μM of eriodictyol for 24 h. Using numerous bioinformatic systems, we evaluated the signatures of the potential biological processes and signaling pathways. Our results provide insight into the underlying molecular mechanisms of action of eriodictyol and suggest that eriodictyol can be used for therapeutic intervention in vascular disease.

Cytoprotective Effect of Eriodictyol in UV-irradiated Keratinocytes via Phosphatase-dependent Modulation of both the p38 MAPK and Akt Signaling Pathways

Lee, Eung-Ryoung,Kim, Jung-Hyun,Choi, Hye Yeon,Jeon, Kilsoo,Cho, Ssang-Goo S. Karger AG 2011 CELLULAR PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY Vol.27 No.5

<P>Although flavonoids exhibit a variety of beneficial biological activities, the exact molecular mechanism of the cellular effects is still not fully explained. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanism of cytoprotective effect of eriodictyol in UV-irradiated keratinocytes. We found that treatment with eriodictyol effectively suppressed the UV-induced cell death of the keratinocytes, concomitant with the inhibition of pro-caspase-3 or pro-caspase-9 cleavage and the suppression of cytochrome C release. The phosphorylation of p38 MAPK was suppressed during UV-induced apoptosis of the keratinocytes and eriodictyol could reverse the down-regulation of p38 MAPK upon UV irradiation. Inhibition of p38 MAPK activity by SB202190, or over-expression of dominant-negative mutant form of p38 MAPK resulted in suppression of cytoprotective effect of the flavonoid. PP2A appeared to participate in the regulation of both p38 MAPK and Akt activities by directly associating with the kinases. UV treatment stimulated not only the phosphatase activity, but also its association with p38 MAPK or Akt. Interestingly, eriodictyol reversed the increase in PP2A activity and the association between the proteins. Taken together, these findings suggest that eriodictyol may lead to protection of keratinocytes from UV-induced cytotoxicity by modulating both the p38 MAPK and Akt signaling pathways in a phosphatase-dependent manner.</P><P>Copyright © 2011 S.
