The Anti-Obesogenic Effects of Muscadine Grapes through Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor Receptor (Cntfr) and Histamine Receptor H1 (Hrh1) Genes in 3T3-L1 Differentiated Mouse Cells. Nutrients 2024; 16:1817. [PMID: 38931172 PMCID: PMC11206641 DOI: 10.3390/nu16121817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are prevalent metabolic diseases that have significant links to several chronic diseases, including cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Muscadine grape extracts have shown the potential to reduce adiposity and improve insulin sensitivity and glucose control. Thus, this study was designed to determine the potential of muscadine grape berries extract (Pineapple and Southern Home) for its antiobesity properties in 3T3-L1 cells as a model for obesity research. The current study's data indicated the total phenolic content (TPC) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydraziyl (DPPH) activity were higher in cultivar (CV) Southern Home, meanwhile, elevated the total flavonoid content (TFC) in Pineapple. Both extracts were safe across the tested range (0-5 mg/mL). A noticeable reduction in lipid accumulation was also found in extract-treated cells. In preadipocytes and adipocytes, the tested extracts showed significant alterations in various genes involved in glucose homeostasis and obesity. The most remarkable findings of the current study are the upregulation of two genes, Cntfr (+712.715-fold) and Hrh1 (+270.11-fold) in CV Pineapple extract-treated adipocytes 3T3-L1 and the high fold increase in Ramp3 induced by both Pineapple and Southern Home in pre-adipose cells. Furthermore, the tested extracts showed a potential to alter the mRNA of various genes, including Zfp91, B2m, Nr3c1, Insr, Atrn, Il6ra, Hsp90ab1, Sort1, and Npy1r. In conclusion, the data generated from the current study suggested that the two extracts under investigation are considered potential candidates for controlling insulin levels and managing obesity.

The haplotype-resolved T2T genome of teinturier cultivar Yan73 reveals the genetic basis of anthocyanin biosynthesis in grapes. HORTICULTURE RESEARCH 2023; 10:uhad205. [PMID: 38046853 PMCID: PMC10689054 DOI: 10.1093/hr/uhad205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023]
Abstract
Teinturier grapes are characterized by the typical accumulation of anthocyanins in grape skin, flesh, and vegetative tissues, endowing them with high utility value in red wine blending and nutrient-enriched foods developing. However, due to the lack of genome information, the mechanism involved in regulating teinturier grape coloring has not yet been elucidated and their genetic utilization research is still insufficient. Here, the cultivar 'Yan73' was used for assembling the telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome of teinturier grapes by combining the High Fidelity (HiFi), Hi-C and ultralong Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) reads. Two haplotype genomes were assembled, at the sizes of 501.68 Mb and 493.38 Mb, respectively. In the haplotype 1 genome, the transposable elements (TEs) contained 32.77% of long terminal repeats (LTRs), while in the haplotype 2 genome, 31.53% of LTRs were detected in TEs. Furthermore, obvious inversions were identified in chromosome 18 between the two haplotypes. Transcriptome profiling suggested that the gene expression patterns in 'Cabernet Sauvignon' and 'Yan73' were diverse depending on tissues, developmental stages, and varieties. The transcription program of genes in the anthocyanins biosynthesis pathway between the two cultivars exhibited high similarity in different tissues and developmental stages, whereas the expression levels of numerous genes showed significant differences. Compared with other genes, the expression levels of VvMYBA1 and VvUFGT4 in all samples, VvCHS2 except in young shoots and VvPAL9 except in the E-L23 stage of 'Yan73' were higher than those of 'Cabernet Sauvignon'. Further sequence alignments revealed potential variant gene loci and structure variations of anthocyanins biosynthesis related genes and a 816 bp sequence insertion was found in the promoter of VvMYBA1 of 'Yan73' haplotype 2 genome. The 'Yan73' T2T genome assembly and comparative analysis provided valuable foundations for further revealing the coloring mechanism of teinturier grapes and the genetic improvement of grape coloring traits.

Scarlet Royal: a physiological and transcriptomic analysis. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1271251. [PMID: 37965000 PMCID: PMC10641383 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1271251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023]
Abstract
Scarlet Royal, a mid-season ripening table grape, is one of the popular red grape varieties in California. However, its berries develop an undesirable astringent taste under certain conditions. Among the various factors contributing to the degradation of berry attributes, the levels and compositions of polyphenols play a fundamental role in defining berry quality and sensory characteristics. To comprehend the underlying mechanism of astringency development, Scarlet Royal berries with non-astringent attributes at the V7 vineyard were compared to astringent ones at the V9 vineyard. Biochemical analysis revealed that the divergence in berry astringency stemmed from alterations in its polyphenol composition, particularly tannins, during the late ripening stage at the V9 vineyard. Furthermore, transcriptomic profiling of berries positively associated nineteen flavonoid/proanthocyanidins (PAs) structural genes with the accumulation of PAs in V9 berries. The identification of these genes holds significance for table grape genetic improvement programs. At a practical level, the correlation between the taste panel and tannin content revealed a threshold level of tannins causing an astringent taste at approximately 400 mg/L. Additionally, berry astringency at the V9 vineyard was linked to a lower number of clusters and yield during the two study seasons, 2016 and 2017. Furthermore, petiole nutrient analysis at bloom showed differences in nutrient levels between the two vineyards, including higher levels of nitrogen and potassium in V9 vines compared to V7. It's worth noting that V9 berries at harvest displayed a lower level of total soluble solids and higher titratable acidity compared to V7 berries. In conclusion, our results indicate that the accumulation of tannins in berries during the ripening process results in a reduction in their red color intensity but significantly increases the astringency taste, thereby degrading the berry quality attributes. This study also highlights the association of high nitrogen nutrient levels and a lower crop load with berry astringency in table grapes, paving the way for further research in this area.
