A dietary anthocyanin cyanidin-3-O-glucoside binds to PPARs to regulate glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity in mice.

ABSTRACT: We demonstrate the mechanism by which C3G, a major dietary anthocyanin, regulates energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Oral administration of C3G reduced hepatic and plasma triglyceride levels, adiposity, and improved glucose tolerance in mice fed high-fat diet. Hepatic metabolomic analysis revealed that C3G shifted metabolite profiles towards fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis. C3G increased glucose uptake in HepG2 cells and C2C12 myotubes and induced the rate of hepatic fatty acid oxidation. C3G directly interacted with and activated PPARs, with the highest affinity for PPAR?. The ability of C3G to reduce plasma and hepatic triglycerides, glucose tolerance, and adiposity and to induce oxygen consumption and energy expenditure was abrogated in PPAR?-deficient mice, suggesting that PPAR? is the major target for C3G. These findings demonstrate that the dietary anthocyanin C3G activates PPARs, a master regulators of energy metabolism. C3G is an agonistic ligand of PPARs and stimulates fuel preference to fat.

Project description:BackgroundDietary polyphenols including anthocyanins target multiple organs.ObjectiveWe aimed to assess the involvement of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), leptin, insulin and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) in mediating metabolic beneficial effects of purified anthocyanin cyanidin-3-glucoside (Cy3G).MethodsIntestinal proglucagon gene (Gcg; encoding GLP-1) and liver Fgf21 expression were assessed in 6-wk-old male C57BL-6J mice fed a low-fat-diet (LFD; 10% of energy from fat), alone or with 1.6 mg Cy3G/L in drinking water for 3 wk [experiment (Exp.) 1; n = 5/group]. Similar mice were fed the LFD or a high-fat diet (HFD; 60% energy from fat) with or without Cy3G for 20 wk. Half of the mice administered Cy3G also received 4 broad-spectrum antibiotics (ABs) in drinking water between weeks 11 and 14, for a total of 6 groups (n = 8/group). Metabolic tolerance tests were conducted between weeks 2 and 16. Relevant hormone gene expression and plasma hormone concentrations were assessed mainly at the end of 20 wk (Exp. 2).ResultsIn Exp. 1, Cy3G administration increased ileal but not colonic Gcg level by 2-fold (P < 0.05). In Exp. 2, Cy3G attenuated HFD-induced body-weight gain (20.3% at week 16), and improved glucose tolerance (26.5% at week 15) but not insulin tolerance. Although Cy3G had no effect on glucose tolerance in LFD mice, LFD/Cy3G/AB mice showed better glucose tolerance than LFD/Cy3G mice (23%). In contrast, HFD/Cy3G/AB mice showed worse glucose tolerance compared with HFD/Cy3G mice (15%). Beneficial effects of Cy3G in HFD mice were not associated with changes in plasma leptin, insulin or GLP-1 concentrations. However, Cy3G increased hepatic Fgf21 expression in mice in Exp. 1 by 4-fold and attenuated Fgf21 overexpression in HFD mice (Exp. 2, 22%), associated with increased expression of genes that encode FGFR1 and β-klotho (>3-fold, P < 0.05).ConclusionsDietary Cy3G may reduce body weight and exert metabolic homeostatic effects in mice via changes in hepatic FGF21.

Project description:BackgroundMulti-monocistronic and multi-variate vectors were designed, built, and tested for the improved production of cyanidin 3-O-glucoside (C3G) in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The synthetic bio-parts were designed in such a way that multiple genes can be assembled using the bio-brick system, and expressed under different promoters in a single vector. The vectors harbor compatible cloning sites, so that the genes can be shuffled from one vector to another in a single step, and assembled into a single vector. The two required genes: anthocyanidin synthase (PhANS) from Petunia hybrida, and cyanidin 3-O-glucosyltransferase (At3GT) from Arabidopsis thaliana, were individually cloned under PT7, Ptrc, and PlacUV5 promoters. Both PhANS and At3GT were shuffled back and forth, so as to generate a combinatorial system for C3G production. The constructed systems were further coupled with the genes for UDP-D-glucose synthesis, all cloned in a multi-monocistronic fashion under PT7. Finally, the production of C3G was checked and confirmed using the modified M9 media, and analyzed through various chromatography and spectrometric analyses.ResultsThe engineered strains endowed with newly generated vectors and the genes for C3G biosynthesis and UDP-D-glucose synthesis were fed with 2 mM (+)-catechin and D-glucose for the production of cyanidin, and its subsequent conversion to C3G. One of the engineered strains harboring At3GT and PhANS under Ptrc promoter and UDP-D-glucose biosynthesis genes under PT7 promoter led to the production of ~?439 mg/L of C3G within 36 h of incubation, when the system was exogenously fed with 5% (w/v) D-glucose. This system did not require exogenous supplementation of UDP-D-glucose.ConclusionA synthetic vector system using different promoters has been developed and used for the synthesis of C3G in E. coli BL21 (DE3) by directing the metabolic flux towards the UDP-D-glucose. This system has the potential of generating better strains for the synthesis of valuable natural products.
