Nanoparticle elicitation: A promising strategy to modulate the production of bioactive compounds in hairy roots. Food Res Int 2024; 178:113910. [PMID: 38309862 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113910] [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: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
Hairy root culture is one of the promising biotechnological tools to obtain the stable and sustainable production of specialized metabolites from plants under controlled environment conditions. Various strategies have been adopted to enhance the accumulation of bioactive compounds in hairy roots yet their utilization at the commercial scale is restricted to only a few products. Recently, nanotechnology has been emerged as an active technique that has revolutionized the many sectors in an advantageous way. Elicitation using nanoparticles has been recognized as an effective strategy for enhancing the bioactive compounds of interest in plants. Nanoparticles elicit the activity of defense-related compounds through activation of the specific transcription factors involved in specialized metabolites production. This review discusses the recent progress in using nanoparticles to enhance specialized metabolite biosynthesis using hairy root culture system and the significant achievements in this area of research. Biotic and abiotic elicitors to improve the production of bioactive compounds in hairy roots, different types of nanoparticles as eliciting agents, their properties as dependent on shape, most widely used nanoparticles in plant hairy root systems are described in detail. Further challenges involved in application of nanoparticles, their toxicity in plant cells and risks associated to human health are also envisaged. No doubt, nanoparticle elicitation is a remarkable approach to obtain phytochemicals from hairy roots to be utilized in various sectors including food, medicines, cosmetics or agriculture but it is quite essential to understand the inter-relationships between the nanoparticles and the plant systems in terms of specifics such as type, dosage and time of exposure as well as other important parameters.

Abstract
Diphyllin (1) and justicidin B (2) are arylnaphthalene lignans with antiviral and antiproliferative effects. Compound 1 is also known as an effective inhibitor of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). To evaluate the in vitro antiviral and cytotoxic potency of both lignans in SARS-CoV-2 -infected cells and various cancer cell lines, respectively, 1 and 2 were isolated from the underground organs of Linum austriacum and Linum perenne. Two previously undescribed arylnaphthalene lignans, denominated linadiacin A and B (3 and 4), were also isolated and identified. In acidic media, 3 was converted by a two-step reaction into 2 via the intermediate 4. Optimum acid treatment conditions were determined to isolate lignans by one-step preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results of the conversion, HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and molecular modeling studies allowed complete structure analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 were the most effective against SARS-CoV-2 with a 3-log reduction in the viral copy number at a 12.5 μM concentration. Ten human cancer cell lines showed sensitivity to at least one of the isolated lignans.

[PMID: 36014492 PMCID: PMC9416168 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27165253] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Revised: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
One of the aims of plant in vitro culture is to produce secondary plant metabolites using plant cells and organ cultures, such as cell suspensions, adventitious, and hairy roots (among others). In cases where the biosynthesis of a compound in the plant is restricted to a specific organ, unorganized systems, such as plant cell cultures, are sometimes unsuitable for biosynthesis. Then, its production is based on the establishment of organ cultures such as roots or aerial shoots. To increase the production in these biotechnological systems, elicitors have been used for years as a useful tool since they activate secondary biosynthetic pathways that control the flow of carbon to obtain different plant compounds. One important biotechnological system for the production of plant secondary metabolites or phytochemicals is root culture. Plant roots have a very active metabolism and can biosynthesize a large number of secondary compounds in an exclusive way. Some of these compounds, such as tropane alkaloids, ajmalicine, ginsenosides, etc., can also be biosynthesized in undifferentiated systems, such as cell cultures. In some cases, cell differentiation and organ formation is necessary to produce the bioactive compounds. This review analyses the biotic elicitors most frequently used in adventitious and hairy root cultures from 2010 to 2022, focusing on the plant species, the target secondary metabolite, the elicitor and its concentration, and the yield/productivity of the target compounds obtained. With this overview, it may be easier to work with elicitors in in vitro root cultures and help understand why some are more effective than others.

Linum lewisii Adventitious and Hairy-Roots Cultures as Lignan Plant Factories. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11081526.

Abstract
Plants synthesize specific secondary metabolites for survival, reproduction, environmental resilience, and defense. Among them, lignans are a class of polyphenols with several bioactive properties: chemopreventive, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antioxidant. These compounds are often extracted from field-grown plants with very low yields. To overcome these constraints, in vitro tissue cultures provide a tool to optimize large-scale production. Moreover, the use of elicitation to increase secondary metabolite production is gaining importance. The aim of this work was to develop adventitious (ARL) and hairy roots (HRL) from Linum lewisi, a species able to synthesize arylnaphthalene lignans such as justicidin B. The ARL and HRL were obtained for the first time and characterized for their phenol content, antioxidant activity, and the production of justicidin B after treatments with several elicitors and precursor feeding. Through NMR spectroscopy, other four lignans were highlighted and identified in the roots extracts. A pilot-scale bioreactor was adopted to assess the suitability of the developed root cultures for future large-scale production. The ARL and HRL cultures showed a justicidin B production higher than other Linum species cultures described up to now (75.8 mg/L and 82.2 g/L), and the production more than doubled after elicitation with MeJA.

Optimized Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Lignans from Linum Species with Green Solvents. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27092732.

Abstract
Lignans are plant phenols derived from phenylpropanoids. They play a significant role in plant defense and have features that make them appealing for pharmaceutical applications. Lignans can be obtained by plant in vitro cultures; their production by adventitious and hairy roots of Linum species seems to be a promising alternative to chemical synthesis. In the context of large-scale production, it is necessary to optimize their extraction from plants tissue by choosing the more suitable solvent and extraction procedure, paying attention to the use of green media and methods. With the aim to select the best conditions for the extraction of two interesting lignans (justicidin B and 6-methoxypodophyllotoxin) from Linum tissues, different green solvents and the method of ultrasound-assisted extraction were tested. The results showed that ethyl methyl ketone and dimethyl carbonate were the best media to extract justicidin B and 6-methoxypodophyllotoxin, respectively, in terms of purity and recovery. Moreover, we showed that ultrasound-assisted extraction presents different advantages compared to conventional methods. Finally, the optimal experimental conditions to extract justicidin B from L. austriacum hairy roots using methyl ethyl ketone were also determined by the response surface method. The models obtained are reliable and accurate to estimate the purity and recovery of justicidin B.

Abstract
Lignans are particularly interesting secondary metabolites belonging to the phenyl-propanoid biosynthetic pathway. From the structural point of view, these molecules could belong to the aryltetralin, arylnaphtalene, or dibenzylbutyrolactone molecular skeleton. Lignans are present in different tissues of plants but are mainly accumulated in seeds. Extracts from plant tissues could be characterized by using the NMR-based approach, which provides a profile of aromatic molecules and detailed structural information for their elucidation. In order to improve the production of these secondary metabolites, elicitors could effectively stimulate lignan production. Several plant species are considered in this review with a particular focus on Linum species, well recognized as the main producer of lignans.

Abstract
Lignans are the main secondary metabolites synthetized by Linum species as plant defense molecules. They are also valuable for human health, in particular, for their potent antiviral and antineoplastic properties. In this study, the adventitious root cultures of three Linum species (L. flavum, L. mucronatum and L. dolomiticum) were developed to produce aryltetralin lignans. The effect of two elicitors, methyl jasmonate and coronatine, on aryltetralin lignans production was also evaluated. The adventitious root cultures from L. dolomiticum were obtained and analyzed for the first time and resulted as the best producer for all the aryltetralins highlighted in this system: Podophyllotoxin, 6-methoxypodophyllotoxin and 6-methoxypodophyllotoxin-7-O-β-glucoside, the last showing a productivity of 92.6 mg/g DW. The two elicitors differently affected the production of the 6-methoxypodophyllotoxin and 6-methoxypodophyllotoxin-7-O-β-glucoside.

Abstract
Salvia corrugata Vahl. is an interesting source of abietane and abeo-abietane compounds that showed antibacterial, antitumor, and cytotoxic activities. The aim of the study was to obtain transformed roots of S. corrugata and to evaluate the production of terpenoids in comparison with in vivo root production. Hairy roots were initiated from leaf explants by infection with ATCC 15834 Agrobacterium rhizogenes onto hormone-free Murashige and Skoog (MS) solid medium. Transformation was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction analysis of rolC and virC1 genes. The biomass production was obtained in hormone-free liquid MS medium using Temporary Immersion System bioreactor RITA®. The chromatographic separation of the methanolic extract of the untransformed roots afforded horminone, ferruginol, 7-O-acetylhorminone and 7-O-methylhorminone. Agastol and ferruginol were isolated and quantified from the hairy roots. The amount of these metabolites indicated that the hairy roots of S. corrugata can be considered a source of these compounds.
