  • The flavin-dependent monooxygenase Sam5 was previously reported to be a bifunctional hydroxylase with coumarate 3-hydroxylase and resveratrol 3'-hydroxylase activities. In this article, we showed the Sam5 enzyme has 3'-hydroxylation activities for methylated resveratrols (pinostilbene and pterostilbene), hydroxylated resveratrol (oxyresveratrol), and glycosylated resveratrol (piceid) as substrates. However, piceid, a glycone-type stilbene used as a substrate for bioconversion experiments with the Sam5 enzyme expressed in Escherichia coli, did not convert to the hydroxylated compound astringin, but it was converted by in vitro enzyme reactions. Finally, we report a novel catalytic activity of Sam5 monooxygenase for the synthesis of piceatannol derivatives, 3'-hydroxylated stilbene compounds. Development of this bioproduction method for the hydroxylation of stilbenes is challenging because of the difficulty in expressing P450-type hydroxylase in E. coli and regiospecific chemical synthesis.

  • 펄프폐수 내에 존재하는 대표적인 수지 구성성분의 일종인 wood resin 화합물이 메탄생성균에 미치는 독성을 평가하기 위한 회분식 독성실험을 수행하였다. 수지는 극성용매로 추출가능한 몇몇 wood 구성성분의 혼합물로서 수지의 주요 구성성분은 긴 사슬 휘발성유기산, terpenes, resin acids, 리그난과 극성 페놀류들이다. 메탄생성균의 독성실험은 $30^{\circ}C$에서 표준회분식 실험방법을 채택하였고 식종물질로서는 입상슬러지를 사용하였다. 극성페놀의 한 종류인 4-hydroxystilbene가 가장 높은 독성을 나타내었으며, 50% 저해를 일으키는 농도는 $20mg/\ell$이었다. Resin acid와 휘발성 terpene 역시 메탄생성균에 독성을 나타내었으며, 50% 독성을 일으키는 농도는 $43{\;}~{\;}330mg/\ell$이었다. 반면에 triterpenes은 1,000 to $1,300{\;}mg/\ell$의 상대적으로 높은 농도에서도 메탄생성균에 독성을 일으키지 않았다. 따라서 wood resin의 구성성분이 몇몇 펄프폐수의 혐기성 처리에 있어서 독성을 일으키는 주요물질이었다.

  • Previous research showed that resveratrol (trans-3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene) and pinostilbene (trans-3-methoxy-4',5-dihydroxystilbene) were able to inhibit tyrosinase directly; however, anti-melanogenic effects of pterostilbene (trans-3,5-dimethoxy-4'-hydroxystilbene) and resveratrol trimethyl ether (RTE) have not been compared. To investigate the hypopigmentation effects of pterostilbene and RTE, melanin contents and intracellular tyrosinase activity were determined by western blot analysis. Firstly, pterostilbene showed the inhibitory effects on ${\alpha}$-melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)-induced melanin synthesis stronger than RTE, resveratrol, and arbutin. Pterostilbene inhibited melanin biosynthesis in a dose-dependent manner in ${\alpha}$-MSH-stimulated B16/F10 murine melanoma cells. Specifically, melanin content and intracellular tyrosinase activity were inhibited by 63% and 58%, respectively, in response to treatment with $10{\mu}m$ of pterostilbene. The results of western blot analysis indicated that pterostilbene induced downregulation of tyrosinase protein expression and suppression of ${\alpha}$-MSH-stimulated melan-A protein expression stronger than RTE or resveratrol. Based on these results, our study suggests that pterostilbene can induce hypopigmentation effects more effectively than resveratrol and RTE, and it functions via downregulation of protein expression associated with hyperpigmentation in ${\alpha}$-MSH-triggered B16/F10 murine melanoma cells.

  • Cytochrome P450 (P450) 1 enzymes such as P450 1A1, 1A2, and 181 are known to be involved in the oxidative metabolism of various procarcinogens and are regarded as important target enzymes for cancer chemoprevention. Previously, several hydroxystilbene compounds were reported to inhibit P450 1 enzymes and were rated as candidate chemopreventive agents. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of 2-[2-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)vinyl]-thiophene (DMPVT), produced from the chemical modification of oxyresveratrol, on the activities of P450 1 enzymes. The inhibitory potential by DMPVT on the P450 1 enzyme activity was evaluated with the Escherichia coli membranes of the recombinant human cytochrome P450 1A1, 1A2, or 1B1 coexpressed with human NADPH-P450 reductase. DMPVT significantly inhibited ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation (EROD) activities with $IC_{50}$ values of 61, 11, and 2 nM for 1A1, 1A2, and 1B1, respectively. The EROO activity in OMBA-treated rat lung microsomes was also significantly inhibited by OMPVT in a dose-dependent manner. The modes of inhibition by DMPVT were non-competitive for all three P450 enzymes. The inhibition of P450 1B1-mediated EROD activity by OMPVT did not show the irreversible mechanism-based effect. The loss of EROD activity in P450 1B1 with OMPVT incubation was not blocked by treatment with the trapping agents such as glutathione, N-acetylcysteine, or dithiothreitol. Taken together, the results suggested DMPVT to be a strong noncompetitive inhibitor of human P450 1 enzymes that should be considered as a good candidate for a cancer chemopreventive agent in humans.

  • 포도, 대황, 사탕수수 등을 포함한 다양한 식물에서 발견되는 hydroxystilbene의 일종인 piceatannol은 암세포의 증식을 억제하고 apoptosis를 유발하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 AGS 인체위암세포를 대상으로 piceatannol에 의한 암세포 증식억제 과정에서 나타나는 또 다른 현상들을 조사하기 위하여 실시되었다. Piceatannol이 처리된 AGS 위암세포는 piceatannol의 처리 농도의 증가에 따라 생존율이 감소되었으며, 이는 세포주기 G1 arrest 유발과 연관이 있음을 MTT assay와 flow cytometry 분석을 통하여 확인하였다. Piceatannol에 의한 AGS 세포의 G1 arrest는 Cdks 및 cyclins의 발현 변화 및 Cdk 저해제인 p21의 발현을 전사 및 번역 수준에서 증가시켰으며, pRB 단백질의 인산화 감소 및 E2F1의 발현 억제와 연관성이 있었다. 아울러 piceatannol은 COX-2의 mRNA 및 단백질의 발현을 억제하였으나 COX-1의 발현에는 영향을 미치지 않았으며, piceatannol에 의한 COX-2의 발현억제는 PGE2의 생성 저하와 관련이 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 piceatannol에 의한 세포주기 G1 arrest 유발이 COX-2의 선택적 발현 차단과 연관이 있음을 보여 주는 것이다.
