Anti-Wrinkle Effect of Isatis indigotica Leaf Extract: Evaluation of Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammation, and Clinical Activity.

ABSTRACT: Isatis indigotica leaf is an oriental herbal medicine that has been known for various pharmacological effects. However, its anti-wrinkle activity has not been fully evaluated. Therefore, we evaluated the anti-wrinkle effect of I. indigotica leaf extract on human skin. The purified extract inhibited 85.4% of 2,2-diphenyl-1-1picrylhydrazyl and 72.2% of 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt radicals at a concentration of 1 mg/mL. Nitrite production was reduced by 30% after treatment with 50 μg/mL of extract. Three fractions from the extract downregulated the mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 and -3 and upregulated the expression of interleukin 4. Among the three fractions, fraction 2 exhibited the highest activity. The major component of the extract was identified as 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Molecular docking was conducted to predict the binding mechanism of 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic with matrix metalloproteinase-1 and -3, and their binding energies were -5.20 and -4.89 kcal/mol, respectively. In a clinical trial, five roughness values of visiometer and visual score were significantly reduced in treated groups compared with the placebo group after 8 weeks. I. indigotica leaf extract inhibits wrinkle formation, and could be a potential anti-wrinkle agent. This is the first clinical trial demonstrating its anti-wrinkle activity.

Sulfur-enriched alkaloids from the root of Isatis indigotica.

Project description:Five new sulfur-enriched alkaloids isatithioetherins A-E (1-5), and two pairs of scalemic enantiomers (+)- and (-)-isatithiopyrin B (6a and 6b) and isoepigoitrin and isogoitrin (7a and 7b), along with the known scalemic enantiomers epigoitrin and goitrin (8a and 8b), were isolated and characterized from an aqueous extract of the Isatis indigotica roots. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic data analysis, including 2D NMR and theoretical calculations of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra based on the quantum-mechanical time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). Compounds 1-5 represent a novel group of sulfur-enriched alkaloids, biogenetically originating from stereoselective assemblies of epigoitrin-derived units. Isolation and structure characterization of 6a and 6b support the postulated biosynthetic pathways for the diastereomers 9a and 9bvia a rare thio-Diels-Alder reaction. Compounds 2 and 4 showed antiviral activity against the influenza virus A/Hanfang/359/95 (H3N2, IC50 0.60 and 1.92 ?mol/L) and the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1, IC50 3.70 and 2.87??mol/L), and 2 also inhibited Coxsackie virus B3 (IC50 0.71??mol/L).

Alkaloid Enantiomers from the Roots of Isatis indigotica.

Project description:Five pairs of alkaloid enantiomers (1a/1b-5a/5b) were obtained from Isatis indigotica (I. indigotica) roots. Among them, 1a/1b, 2a/2b and 3a/3b were determined as three pairs of new alkaloid enantiomers. Their structures were elucidated by physicochemical properties and spectroscopic methods. The absolute configurations were deduced by comparison of their experimental circular dichroism (CD) and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra, as well as by single-crystal X-ray crystallography using anomalous scattering of Cu K? radiation. Alkaloids 1a and 1b possess an unpresented carbon skeleton and their putative biosynthetic pathways are discussed. Moreover, all of the alkaloids were tested for their nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory effects in RAW 264.7 cells, and 4a and 4b showed inhibitory effects with IC50 values of 76.97 ?M and 65.88 ?M, respectively.

Functional Characterization of UDP-Glycosyltransferases Involved in Anti-viral Lignan Glycosides Biosynthesis in Isatis indigotica.

Project description:Isatis indigotica is a popular herbal medicine with its noticeable antiviral properties, which are primarily due to its lignan glycosides such as lariciresinol-4-O-β-D-glucoside and lariciresinol-4,4'-bis-O-β-D-glucosides (also called clemastanin B). UDP-glucose-dependent glycosyltransferases are the key enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of these antiviral metabolites. In this study, we systematically characterized the UGT72 family gene IiUGT1 and two UGT71B family genes, IiUGT4 and IiUGT71B5a, with similar enzymatic functions. Kinetic analysis showed that IiUGT4 was more efficient than IiUGT1 or IiUGT71B5a for the glycosylation of lariciresinol. Further knock-down and overexpression of these IiUGTs in I. indigotica's hairy roots indicates that they play different roles in planta: IiUGT71B5a primarily participates in the biosynthesis of coniferin not pinoresinol diglucoside, and IiUGT1 primarily participates in the biosynthesis of pinoresinol diglucoside, while IiUGT4 is responsible for the glycosylation of lariciresinol and plays a dominant role in the biosynthesis of lariciresinol glycosides in I. indigotica. Analysis of the molecular docking and site-mutagenesis of IiUGT4 have found that key residues for its catalytic activity are H373, W376, E397, and that F151 could be associated with substrate preference. This study elucidates the biosynthetic route of anti-viral lignan glycosides in I. indigotica, and provides the foundation for the production of anti-viral lignan glycosides via synthetic biology under the heterologous model.

Three pairs of alkaloid enantiomers from the root of Isatis indigotica.

Project description:Three pairs of enantiomerically pure alkaloids with diverse structure features, named isatindigoticoic acid A and epiisatindigoticoic acid A [(-)-1 and (+)-1], phaitanthrin A and epiphaitanthrin A [(-)-2 and (+)-2], and isatindopyrromizol A and epiisatindopyrromizol A [(-)-3 and (+)-3], respectively, were isolated from an aqueous extract of the roots of Isatis indigotica. Racemic and scalemic mixtures of these enantiomers were separated by HPLC on a chiral semi-preparative column. Their structures including absolute configurations were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis in conjunction with the calculation of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. The enantiomer pairs possess parent structures of 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acid, indolo[2,1-b]quinazolinone, and 3-thioxohexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazol-1-one, respectively. Except for phaitanthrin A [(-)-2] which the configuration was previously undetermined, these compounds are new enantiomeric natural products.

High-throughput sequencing and De Novo assembly of the Isatis indigotica transcriptome.

Project description:BackgroundIsatis indigotica, the source of the traditional Chinese medicine Radix isatidis (Ban-Lan-Gen), is an extremely important economical crop in China. To facilitate biological, biochemical and molecular research on the medicinal chemicals in I. indigotica, here we report the first I. indigotica transcriptome generated by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).ResultsRNA-seq library was created using RNA extracted from a mixed sample including leaf and root. A total of 33,238 unigenes were assembled from more than 28 million of high quality short reads. The quality of the assembly was experimentally examined by cDNA sequencing of seven randomly selected unigenes. Based on blast search 28,184 unigenes had a hit in at least one of the protein and nucleotide databases used in this study, and 8 unigenes were found to be associated with biosynthesis of indole and its derivatives. According to Gene Ontology classification, 22,365 unigenes were categorized into 48 functional groups. Furthermore, Clusters of Orthologous Group and Swiss-Port annotation were assigned for 7,707 and 18,679 unigenes, respectively. Analysis of repeat motifs identified 6,400 simple sequence repeat markers in 4,509 unigenes.ConclusionOur data provide a comprehensive sequence resource for molecular study of I. indigotica. Our results will facilitate studies on the functions of genes involved in the indole alkaloid biosynthesis pathway and on metabolism of nitrogen and indole alkaloids in I. indigotica and its related species.

IiWRKY34 positively regulates yield, lignan biosynthesis and stress tolerance in Isatis indigotica

Project description:Yield potential, pharmaceutical compounds production and stress tolerance capacity are 3 classes of traits that determine the quality of medicinal plants. The autotetraploid Isatis indigotica has greater yield, higher bioactive lignan accumulation and enhanced stress tolerance compared with its diploid progenitor. Here we show that the transcription factor IiWRKY34, with higher expression levels in tetraploid than in diploid I. indigotica, has large pleiotropic effects on an array of traits, including biomass growth rates, lignan biosynthesis, as well as salt and drought stress tolerance. Integrated analysis of transcriptome and metabolome profiling demonstrated that IiWRKY34 expression had far-reaching consequences on both primary and secondary metabolism, reprograming carbon flux towards phenylpropanoids, such as lignans and flavonoids. Transcript–metabolite correlation analysis was applied to construct the regulatory network of IiWRKY34 for lignan biosynthesis. One candidate target Ii4CL3, a key rate-limiting enzyme of lignan biosynthesis as indicated in our previous study, has been demonstrated to indeed be activated by IiWRKY34. Collectively, the results indicate that the differentially expressed IiWRKY34 has contributed significantly to the polyploidy vigor of I. indigotica, and manipulation of this gene will facilitate comprehensive improvements of I. indigotica herb. Graphical abstract The present study shows that transcription factor IiWRKY34 has large pleiotropic effects on an array of traits, including biomass growth rates, lignan biosynthesis, as well as salt and drought stress tolerance, which will be an ideal bioengineering target for genetic improvement of Isatis indigotica herb.Image 1

Isatis indigotica root polysaccharides as adjuvants for an inactivated rabies virus vaccine.

Project description:Adjuvants can enhance vaccine immunogenicity and induce long-term enhancement of immune responses. Thus, adjuvants are important for vaccine research. Polysaccharides isolated from select Chinese herbs have been demonstrated to possess various beneficial functions and excellent adjuvant abilities. In the present study, the polysaccharides IIP-A-1 and IIP-2 were isolated from Isatis indigotica root and compared with the common vaccine adjuvant aluminum hydroxide via intramuscular co-administration of inactivated rabies virus rCVS-11-G into mice. Blood was collected to determine virus neutralizing antibody (VNA) titers and B and T lymphocyte activation status. Inguinal lymph node samples were collected and used to measure B lymphocyte proliferation. Splenocytes were isolated, from which antigen-specific cellular immune responses were detected via ELISpot, ELISA and intracellular cytokine staining. The results revealed that both types of polysaccharides induce more rapid changes and higher VNA titers than aluminum hydroxide. Flow cytometry assays revealed that the polysaccharides activated more B lymphocytes in the lymph nodes and more B and T lymphocytes in the blood than aluminum hydroxide. Antigen-specific cellular immune responses showed that IIP-2 strongly induced T lymphocyte proliferation in the spleen and high levels of cytokine secretion from splenocytes, whereas aluminum hydroxide induced proliferation in only a small number of lymphocytes and the secretion of only small quantities of cytokines. Collectively, these data suggest that the polysaccharide IIP-2 exhibits excellent adjuvant activity and can enhance both cellular and humoral immunity.
