Project description:Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds with potent anti-oxidant and free radical scavenging activities. Here, we examined the cytoprotective actions of Quercetin-3-glucoside (Q3G) against oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide. Pre-treatment of the neuroblastoma cells, SH-SY5Y with Q3G for 18 h reduced cell death after a brief exposure to hydrogen peroxide. The cytoprotective effects of Q3G were associated with decreased free radical generation suggesting that this mechanism accounts for Q3G-mediated cytoprotection. To address the possibility that Q3G-mediated cytoprotection involved alterations in gene expression, cDNA microarray studies were performed. These studies identified elevated expression of 25 genes and decreased expression of 3 genes only in Q3G pre-treated cells under oxidative stress. The majority of genes up-regulated by Q3G in SH-SY5Y cells under oxidative stress encode enzymes involved in lipid biosynthesis. Quantitative Real time PCR (qRT-PCR) validated changes in gene expression that were identified by cDNA microarray analyses. The induction of multitude of genes involved in cholesterol signaling pathway by Q3G in cells under oxidative stress suggests an important role for elevated cholesterol synthesis in the cytoprotective actions of Q3G. This hypothesis was confirmed by the detection of elevated levels of cholesterol in cells pre-treated with Q3G and subjected to oxidative stress. Moreover, inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis with mevastatin blocked the cytoprotective effects of Q3G against oxidative stress-induced cell death. Taken together, these studies suggest a novel mechanism for flavonoid-induced cytoprotection involving elevated cholesterol synthesis that may act to reduce lipid peroxidation and promote membrane repair after oxidative injury.

Project description:The yeast transcriptomic response to quercetin, a naturally-occurring flavonol with antioxidant, anticancer and anti-ageing activities, was evaluated by differential gene expression analysis using a microarray containing probes for S. cerevisiae ORFeome. Samples obtained from BY4741 strain cells treated with 300uM quercetin were compared to control samples (obtained from cells incubated with vehicle) on dual-color microarray experiments. Three independent biological replicates and the respective dye-swap hybridizations were combined, in a total of 6 microarray hybridizations.

Project description:Maternal fertility declines irreversibly with aging, and advanced maternal age is mostly related to impaired oocyte quality. The flavonol compound quercetin is considered to be an anti-aging agent due to its cytoprotective actions as an antioxidant. However, its role and mechanisms on aged oocytes are unclear. In this study, the quercetin promotes in vitro maturation (IVM) and early embryonic development of oocytes from aged mice. It is extended these findings in human oocytes, showing that quercetin promotes the IVM rate by 19.6% and increases the blastocyst formation rate by 15.5% compared to untreated controls. The overall oocyte quality of aged mice is improved by quercetin treatment, assessed as spindle/chromosome morphology and cortical granule distribution. Mitochondria is the primary endogenous source of age-related oxidative stress, and an RNA-seq analysis of quercetin-treated oocytes reveals molecular insights including scavenged mitochondrial-ROS, reduced apoptosis, and improved autophagy. Further, this study demonstrates that quercetin reduces ROS via SIRT3-mediated acetylation of SOD2's K68 residue. Thus, beyond demonstrating that quercetin confers beneficial mitochondria-related impacts in aged oocytes, this study illustrates a potential strategy to prevent or delay oocyte aging and to improve success rates of assisted human reproductive technologies (ART).

Project description:Quercetin is a flavonol modifying numerous cell processes with potent antiproliferative effects on cancer cell-lines. The aim of this study was to explore by gene-array analysis the effect of quercetin on cancer-related gene expression in HepG2 cells, followed by verification with RT-PCR and analysis of the expected phenotypic changes (migration, cell cycle, cell proliferation). Quercetin induces significant changes on cell-adhesion related genes, leading to reduced migratory capacity and disorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. Several genes related to DNA functions, cellular metabolism and signal-transducer activities were also modified, while an early effect on G–protein related cascades possibly via protease-activated receptor 2 and phospholipase C-γ1 was identified. Cyclin-D associated events in G1 and ubiquitin-dependent degradation of cyclin-D1 were also affected, resulting in cell-cycle arrest without activation of apoptosis pathways. In conclusion quercetin (3μM) exerts its cellular effects by modifying numerous genes related to mechanisms involved in cancer initiation and promotion.

Cyclin-D associated events in G1 and ubiquitin-dependent degradation of cyclin-D1 were also affected, resulting in cell-cycle arrest without activation of apoptosis pathways. In conclusion quercetin (3?M) exerts its cellular effects by modifying numerous genes related to mechanisms involved in cancer initiation and promotion. HepG2 cells were serum starved for 24 hours and were then treated with serum free medium with or without quercetin (3?M). Total RNA was collected at 2, 4, 12 and 24 hours and was used for gene-array experiments.

Project description:Both the 0.05% and 1% querceitn diets did not significantly affect the body weight, fat accumulation, and blood components. However, 0.05% quercetin significantly increased the glutathione/oxidized glutathione ratio in the liver. Moreover, the 1% quercetin diet reduced the lipid peroxidation markers 8-isoprostane in plasma and malondialdehyde in the liver, epididymal adipose tissues, and small intestine. Although comprehensive gene expression analysis dot not detect the genes with significantly different expression levels among the groups of mice, RT-PCR analysis showed that the 1% quercetin diet significantly induced the expression of the antioxidant enzymes Gpx1, Cat, and Sod1 in the liver and Gpx1 and Cat in the epididymal adipose tissues. The transcription factor nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) was slightly induced in the nuclear fraction of the livers of mice fed the 1% quercetin diet. Quercetin may induce antioxidant enzymes by directly or indirectly activating the Nrf2 pathway in the liver. Five-week-old male mice were fed a AIN-93G diet containing 0% (Control), 0.05% (0.05% quercetin diet), or 1% quercertin (1% quercetin diet) for 20 weeks.
