Enhanced biosynthesis of saponins by coronatine in cell suspension culture of Kalopanax septemlobus.

ABSTRACT: Kalopanax septemlobus is a medicinal woody species of the family Araliaceae, and the pharmaceutical properties of saponins obtained from K. septemlobus suggest that K. septemlobus has the potential to be a crude drug and dietary health supplement. In this study, we established cell suspension culture of K. septemlobus to develop a sustainable source of natura-ceuticals. Friable calli were used for establishing cell suspension culture. The maximum amount of total saponins (1.56 mg/60 ml suspension) was obtained during the 15th day of incubation, whereas the maximum capacity of saponin production was reached after day 6 (0.42 ?g/mg of fresh weight). The total saponin production in the cell suspension of K. septemlobus was significantly increased by coronatine (COR) at 160% at a dose of 1 ?M compared with the mock-treated control, whereas methyl jasmonate treated cells exhibited less increase in total saponin level as compared to the COR-treated cells. In addition, the elicitation of COR strongly induced the expression of beta-amyrin synthase, thus resulting in the accumulation of oleanolic acid (2.369 ± 0.98 ?g/mg of extract), a precursor for oleanane-type triterpene saponins. These results indicate that COR is an efficient elicitor for inducing phytochemicals in cell suspension culture and that it provides the possibility for producing saponins of K. septemlobus using cell suspension culture.

Project description:BackgroundPaclitaxel is a potent antitumor alkaloid widely used for the treatment of several cancer types. This valuable secondary metabolite naturally exists in the inner bark of Taxus species in very low amounts. The small-scale production of paclitaxel in Taxus cell cultures requires utilization of several elicitors.ObjectiveThe main objective of this work was to identify key genes that encode rate-limiting enzymes in paclitaxel biosynthesis pathway by investigating the possible relationship between paclitaxel production and a set of 13 involved genes' relative expression in Taxus baccata L. cell suspension cultures affected by coronatine and methyl-β-cyclodextrin.MethodsIn the present research, the most important key genes were identified using gene expression profiling evaluation and paclitaxel production assessment in Taxus baccata L. cell cultures affected by mentioned elicitors.Results and conclusionGene expression levels were variably increased using methyl-β-cyclodextrin, and in some cases, a synergistic effect on transcript accumulation was observed when culture medium was supplemented with both elicitors. It was revealed that DBAT, BAPT, and DBTNBT are the most important rate-limiting enzymes in paclitaxel biosynthesis pathway in Taxus baccata L. cell suspension cultures under coronatine and methyl-β-cyclodextrin elicitation condition. Moreover, PAM was identified as one of the important key genes especially in the absence of β-phenylalanine. In cell cultures affected by these elicitors, paclitaxel was found largely in the culture media (more than 90%). The secretion of this secondary metabolite suggests a limited feedback inhibition and reduced paclitaxel toxicity for producer cells. It is the result of the ABC gene relative expression level increment under methyl-β-cyclodextrin elicitation and highly depends on methyl-β-cyclodextrin's special property (complex formation with hydrophobic compounds). Paclitaxel biosynthesis was obviously increased due to the effect of coronatine and methyl-β-cyclodextrin elicitation, leading to the production level of 5.62 times higher than that of the untreated cultures.
