[PMID: 37392850 PMCID: PMC10400924 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.104990] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2023] [Revised: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Cycloartenyl ferulate (CF) is abundant in brown rice with multiple biologic functions. It has been reported to possess antitumor activity; however, the related mechanism of action of CF has not been clarified. Herein, we unexpectedly uncover the immunological regulation effects of CF and its molecular mechanism. We discovered that CF directly enhanced the killing capacity of natural killer (NK) cells for various cancer cells in vitro. In vivo, CF also improved cancer surveillance in mouse models of lymphoma clearance and metastatic melanoma dependent on NK cells. In addition, CF promoted anticancer efficacy of the anti-PD1 antibody with improvement of tumor immune microenvironment. Mechanistically, we first unveiled that CF acted on the canonical JAK1/2-STAT1 signaling pathway to enhance the immunity of the NK cells by selectively binding to interferon γ receptor 1. Collectively, our results indicate that CF is a promising immunoregulation agent worthy of attention in clinical application in the future. Due to broad biological significance of interferon γ, our findings also provide a capability to understand the diverse functions of CF.

Hong GL, Liu JM, Zhao GJ, Tan JP, Wu B, Li MF, Liang G, Qiu QM, Lu ZQ. Cycloartenyl Ferulate Inhibits Paraquat-Induced Apoptosis in HK-2 Cells With the Involvement of ABCC1. J Cell Biochem 2015; 117:872-80. [PMID: 26358524 DOI: 10.1002/jcb.25370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2015] [Accepted: 09/09/2015] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
Nephrotoxicity induced by chemicals such as paraquat (PQ) is a common clinical phenomenon; therefore, searching for drugs with renal protective effect is of a great practical significance. Our previous investigation found that cycloartenyl ferulate (CF) can antagonize the cytotoxic effect of PQ, and recent studies also revealed a variety of bioactivities of CF. However, specific molecular mechanisms underlying the protective effect of CF have not been explored yet. HPLC detection of PQ content indicated that CF reduced PQ accumulation in HK-2 cells and thereby improved cell survival. Western blot results showed that both PQ and CF did not affect the expression of ABCB1; however, while PQ suppressed the expression of ABCC1, CF upregulated ABCC1 expression and thereby reversed the inhibitory effect of PQ on ABCC1 expression. Meanwhile, HK-2 cells did not express ABCG2. When the expression of ABCC1 was knocked down with siRNA, the inhibitory effect of CF on intracellular PQ accumulation was blocked. Further flow cytometric analysis showed that while PQ significantly induced the appearance of sub-G1 apoptotic peak in cells, CF evidently inhibited apoptosis. TUNEL-DAPI double-staining also detected that PQ significantly induced the occurrence of DNA fragmentation in cells, whereas CF effectively inhibited the effect of PQ. Further results showed that ABCC1 siRNA effectively abolished the protective effect of CF on PQ-induced apoptosis. Taken together, these data demonstrated that in HK-2 cells, CF could antagonize PQ-induced toxicity with the involvement of regulatiion of ABCC1 protein expression, which provides a new strategy for treatments of nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
The pigmented rice has been consumed in China, Japan, and Korea for a long time. It has been used for strengthening kidney function, treating anemia, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, treating diabetes, and ameliorating sight in traditional Chinese medicine. The extracts from pigmented rice are used as natural food colorants in bread, ice cream, and liquor as well as functional food. The pigmented rice is mainly black, red, and dark purple rice, and contains a variety of flavones, tannin, phenolics, sterols, tocols, γ-oryzanols, amino acids, and essential oils. Anthocyanins are thought as major functional components of pigmented rice. Several anthocyanins have been isolated and identified from the pigmented rice, including cyanidin 3-glucoside, cyanidin 3-galactoside, cyanidin 3-rutinoside, cyanidin 3,5-diglucoside, malvidin 3-galactoside, peonidin 3-glucoside, and pelargonidin 3,5-diglucoside. This review provides up-to-date coverage of pigmented rice in regard to bioactive constituents, extraction and analytical methods, and bioactivities. Special attention is paid to the bioactivities including antioxidant and free radical scavenging, antitumor, antiatherosclerosis, hypoglycemic, and antiallergic activities.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2011; 91:1459-65. [PMID: 21337583 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.4333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2010] [Revised: 01/07/2011] [Accepted: 01/10/2011] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The bran part of red rice grain is concentrated with many phytochemicals, including proanthocyanidins, oryzanol and vitamin E, that exert beneficial effects on human health, but it contains low levels of essential minerals such as Fe and Zn. In the present study, the protein, lipid, phytochemicals and mineral contents in bran samples were compared among red rice SA-586 and its NaN₃-induced mutants. RESULTS The plant heights of NaN₃-induced mutants were decreased. The contents of protein, lipid, total phenolics, total flavonoids, total anthocyanins, total proanthocyanidins, total γ-oryzanol, total tocopherols and total tocotrienols also varied among the tested mutants. The brans of mutants M-18, M-56 and M-50 contained more proanthocyanidins, γ-oryzanol, vitamin E than that of SA-586, respectively. M-54 accumulated more Fe content (588.7 mg kg⁻¹ bran dry weight) than SA-586 (100.1 mg kg⁻¹ bran dry weight). CONCLUSIONS The brans of M-18, M-50 and M-56 are good sources of proanthocyanidins, vitamin E and γ-oryzanol, respectively, while the bran of M-54 is rich in Fe. Thus these mutants could be used to produce high-value phytochemicals or Fe byproducts from bran during rice grain milling or as genetic resources for rice improvement programs.
