Proteome profiling of lipopolysaccharide induced L6 rat skeletal muscle cells response to flavonoids from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi is a commonly used medicinal herb in several Asian countries like Korea, China and Japan for thousands of years. It has been reported to have various medicinal properties such as anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. However, the anti-inflammatory mechanism of S. baicalensis G at proteome level has not yet been reported. Hence, we performed a proteome analysis to study differentially expressed proteins and its anti-inflammatory role in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated L6 skeletal muscle cells response to flavonoids isolated from S. baicalensis G. METHODS: For that, 150 ?g of proteins from the L6 cells of the control (Vehicle only), LPS treated and flavonoid treated groups were separated using 18 cm, pH 4-7 IPG strips in the first dimension and resolved by 12% linear gradient SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The silver stained gels were analyzed by using progenesis SameSpots software and twenty six differentially expressed protein spots (? 2 fold, p < 0.05) were selected for matrix assisted laser desorption ionization- time of flight mass spectroscopy/mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/MS) analysis. Also, the expression of COX-2, iNOS and Annexin A2 proteins were analyzed by western blot. RESULTS: Totally, 12 differentially expressed proteins were successfully identified by MALDI-TOF/MS and database searching, that's involved in inflammatory responses such vimentin, T-box transcription factor TBX3, annexin A1, annexin A2 and annexin A5. In addition, flavonoids inhibited the expression of COX-2, iNOS and Annexin A2 proteins in LPS-stimulated L6 skeletal muscle cells. CONCLUSIONS: The findings revealed that the flavonoids from S. baicalensis G. directly protect the LPS stimulated inflammation process in L6 cells and, would be helpful to study further the muscle cell inflammatory mechanism. This is the first proteome study provide the anti-inflammatory mechanism of flavonoids from S. baicalensis G. in LPS stimulated L6 skeletal muscle cells.

Project description:Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. (Chinese skullcap or Huang-qin) is an extremely crucial medicinal plant in the Labiate family, and the color of its flowers naturally appears purple. However, during the long-term cultivation of S. baicalensis, very few plants of S. baicalensis also present white and purple-red flower colors under the same ecological conditions. However, the complex metabolic and transcriptional networks underlying color formation in white, purple-red, and purple flowers of S. baicalensis remain largely unclarified. To gain an insight into this issue, we conducted transcriptome and metabolomic profiling to elucidate the anthocyanin synthesis metabolic pathway in the flowers of S. baicalensis, and to identify the differentially expressed candidate genes potentially involved in the biosynthesis of anthocyanins. The results showed that 15 anthocyanins were identified, among which cyanidin 3-rutinoside and delphin chloride were the primary anthocyanins, and accumulation was significantly related to the flower color changes of S. baicalensis. Furthermore, the down-regulation of SbDFR (Sb02g31040) reduced the anthocyanin levels in the flowers of S. baicalensis. The differential expression of the Sb3GT (Sb07g04780 and Sb01g72290) gene in purple and purple-red flowers affected anthocyanin accumulation, suggesting that anthocyanin levels were closely associated with the expression of SbDFR and Sb3GT, which play important roles in regulating the anthocyanin biosynthesis process of S. baicalensis flowers. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that transcription factors WRKY, bHLH, and NAC were also highly correlated with anthocyanin accumulation, especially for NAC35, which positively regulated SbDFR (Sb02g31040) gene expression and modulated anthocyanin biosynthesis in flower color variation of S. baicalensis. Overall, this study presents the first experimental evidence for the metabolomic and transcriptomic profiles of S. baicalensis in response to flower coloration, which provides a foundation for dynamic metabolic engineering and plant breeding, and to understand floral evolution in S. baicalensis plants.
