ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND. Prostate cancer is thought to arise as a result of oxidative stresses and induction of antioxidant electrophile defense (phase 2) enzymes has been proposed as a prostate cancer prevention strategy. The isothiocyanate sulforaphane, derived from cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, potently induces surrogate markers of phase 2 enzyme activity in prostate cells in vitro and in vivo. To better understand the temporal effects of sulforaphane and broccoli sprouts on gene expression in prostate cells, we carried out comprehensive transcriptome analysis using cDNA microarrays. METHODS. Transcripts significantly modulated by sulforaphane over time were identified using StepMiner analysis. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) was used to identify biological pathways, networks, and functions significantly altered by sulforaphane treatment. . StepMiner and IPA revealed significant changes in many transcripts associated with cell growth and cell cycle, as well as a significant number associated with cellular response to oxidative damage and stress. Comparison to an existing dataset suggested that sulforaphane blocked cell growth by inducing G2/M arrest. Cell growth assays and flow cytometry analysis confirmed that sulforaphane inhibited cell growth and induced cell cycle arrest. CONCLUSIONS. Our data suggest that in prostate cells sulforaphane primarily induces cellular defenses and inhibits cell growth by causingG2/Mphase arrest. Furthermore, based on the striking similarities in the gene expression patterns induced across experiments in these cells, sulforaphane appears to be the primary bioactive compound present in broccoli sprouts, suggesting that broccoli sprouts can serve as a suitable source for sulforaphane in intervention trials. A compound treatment design type is where the response to administration of a compound or chemical (including biological compounds such as hormones) is assayed.

Project description:Cruciferous vegetable consumption has been associated with a decreased risk of multiple types of cancers, thus presenting a cost-effective, non-pharmacological approach to cancer prevention through dietary intervention. Broccoli sprouts and Brussels sprouts are among the leading cruciferous vegetables under study and contain some similar and some distinct phytochemicals which can activate different, but complementary, mechanisms to promote health. While the cancer-preventative effects of cruciferous vegetables are typically attributed to glucosinolates and their metabolic products, isothiocyanates and indoles, other components of cruciferous vegetables could play a synergistic role in conferring cancer-protective and health promoting effects. Additionally, metabolism of phytochemicals from cruciferous vegetables by the gut microbiome could further lead to the production, inactivation, or clearance of bioactive dietary components. The gut microbiome is essential to the production of bioactive compounds from various food sources. For example, with soy isoflavones and pomegranate urolithins, the presence or absence of specific microbial taxa directly dictates which metabolites are produced (resulting in a metabotype). A similar paradigm could be extended to cruciferous vegetables in which the gut microbiome may play an important role in driving inter-individual metabolism of glucosinolates and isothiocyanates. We recently reported (Bouranis et. al, 2021, Nutrients) that the gut microbiome composition can influence production of glucosinolate-derived nitriles from cruciferous vegetables, showing that the presence or absence of specific microbes can influence the abundance of a single metabolite. Thus, we sought to take an untargeted approach to investigate other phytochemicals from cruciferous vegetables which the gut microbiome could play a role in generating. To investigate plant- and microbe-derived metabolites of cruciferous vegetable digestion and capture information about the microbiome, we utilized an ex vivo fecal incubation system. Broccoli sprouts and Brussels sprouts were in vitro digested using an oral, gastric, and intestinal phase. For fecal bacterial cultivation a 20% fecal slurry (w/v) was made from fecal material from 10 healthy volunteers (6 female, and 4 male, age 17-51, Lee Biosolutions) and sterile PBS (0.1 M pH 7). 500 µL of fecal slurry was mixed with 10 mL of Brain Heart Infusion Broth (BHI) with hemin and vitamin K, per the manufacturer’s recommendation, and either 500 µl of filter sterilized in vitro digested broccoli sprouts (Broc), 500 µL of filter sterilized in vitro digested Brussels sprouts (Brus), 500 µL of Broc and 500 µL of Brus were added (Combo) or a negative control in vitro digestion (NC). NC contained reverse osmosis water, equivalent in volume to the water content of broccoli sprouts and underwent the same in vitro digestion procedure as described above with the same enzymes, chemicals and equipment. Broc and Brus digests were scaled to be equivalent in concentration to a human consuming ½ cup of broccoli or Brussels sprouts, or in the case of the combination, ½ cup of broccoli sprouts and ½ cup of Brussels sprouts. This combination was included as Broc and Brus contain many similar but also some distinct phytochemicals and thus by combining the vegetables we increased the dose and broadened the range of phytochemicals from cruciferous vegetables which can be achieved in the kitchen as a mixed vegetable dish. Fecal cultures were incubated at 37°C for 24 h in anaerobic conditions.
