Arachidin-1, a Prenylated Stilbenoid from Peanut, Induces Apoptosis in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells.
    International journal of molecular sciences, 2022, Jan-20, Volume: 23, Issue:3

    Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is unresponsive to typical hormonal treatments, causing it to be one of the deadliest forms of breast cancer. Investigating alternative therapies to increase survival rates for this disease is essential. The goal of this study was to assess cytotoxicity and apoptosis mechanisms of prenylated stilbenoids in TNBC cells. The prenylated stilbenoids arachidin-1 (A-1) and arachidin-3 (A-3) are analogs of resveratrol (RES) produced in peanut upon biotic stress. The anticancer activity of A-1 and A-3 isolated from peanut hairy root cultures was determined in TNBC cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-436. After 24 h of treatment, A-1 exhibited higher cytotoxicity than A-3 and RES with approximately 11-fold and six-fold lower IC

Induction of the Prenylated Stilbenoids Arachidin-1 and Arachidin-3 and Their Semi-Preparative Separation and Purification from Hairy Root Cultures of Peanut (
    Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2022, Sep-19, Volume: 27, Issue:18

    Prenylated stilbenoids such as arachidin-1 and arachidin-3 are stilbene derivatives that exhibit multiple pharmacological activities. We report an elicitation strategy using different combinations of cyclodextrin, hydrogen peroxide, methyl jasmonate and magnesium chloride to increase arachidin-1 and arachidin-3 production in peanut hairy root cultures. The treatment of hairy root cultures with cyclodextrin with hydrogen peroxide selectively enhanced arachidin-1 yield (132.6 ± 20.4 mg/L), which was 1.8-fold higher than arachidin-3. Similarly, cyclodextrin combined with methyl jasmonate selectively enhanced arachidin-3 yield (178.2 ± 6.8 mg/L), which was 5.5-fold higher than arachidin-1. Re-elicitation of the hairy root cultures further increased the levels of arachidin-1 and arachidin-3 by 24% and 42%, respectively. The ethyl acetate extract of the culture medium was consecutively fractionated by normal- and reversed-phase column chromatography, followed by semi-preparative HPLC purification on a C18 column to yield arachidin-1 with a recovery rate of 32% and arachidin-3 with a recovery rate of 39%, both at higher than 95% purity. This study provided a sustainable strategy to produce high-purity arachidin-1 and arachidin-3 using hairy root cultures of peanuts combined with column chromatography and semi-preparative HPLC.

Production and antimicrobial activity of trans-resveratrol, trans-arachidin-1 and trans-arachidin-3 from elicited peanut hairy root cultures in shake flasks compared with bioreactors.
    Journal of biotechnology, 2021, Jan-20, Volume: 326

    Obtaining large-scale hairy root cultures is a major challenge to increasing root biomass and secondary metabolite production. Enhanced production of stilbene compounds such as trans-resveratrol, trans-arachidin-1 and trans-arachidin-3 was achieved using an elicitor treatment procedure. Two different hairy root inoculum densities were investigated and compared between shake flask and bioreactor cultures. The lowest growth index was observed using a 20 g/L inoculum size in the bioreactor, which differed significantly from bioreactor of 5 g/L. Increasing the hairy root inoculum size from 5 g/L to 20 g/L in both the shake flask and bioreactor significantly improve antioxidant activity, phenolic content and stilbene compound levels. The highest ABTS and FRAP antioxidant activity, and levels of total phenolic compounds, trans-arachidin-1 and trans-arachidin-3 in the crude extract were demonstrated in shake flask cultures with a 20 g/L inoculum after elicitation for 72 h. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the crude extract to inhibit growth of foodborne microbes, S. aureus, S. typhimurium and E. coli, were 187.5, 250 and 500 μg/mL, respectively. This was due to the ability of the crude extract to disrupt the cell membrane, as observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showing ruptured pores on the S. aureus and S. typhimurium cell surfaces. Moreover, the E. coli cell division process could be inhibited by the crude extract, which promoted an increase in cell size. A DNA nicking assay indicated that a 50 μg/mL concentration of the crude extract caused plasmid DNA damage that might be due to a genotoxic effect of the pro-oxidant activity of the crude extract.

Peanut arachidin-1 enhances Nrf2-mediated protective mechanisms against TNF-α-induced ICAM-1 expression and NF-κB activation in endothelial cells.
    International journal of molecular medicine, 2018, Volume: 41, Issue:1

    Arachidin-1 [trans-4-(3-methyl-1-butenyl)-3,5,3',4'-tetrahydroxystilbene] is a polyphenol produced by peanut kernels during germination. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mechanism underlying the anti-inflammatory effect of arachidin-1 in endothelial cells (ECs). The results of cell adhesion and western blotting assays demonstrated that arachidin-1 attenuated tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced monocyte/EC adhesion and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression. Arachidin-1 was demonstrated to exert its inhibitory effects by the attenuation of TNF-α-induced nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) nuclear translocation and inhibitor of κB-α (IκBα) degradation. Furthermore, arachidin-1 upregulated nuclear factor-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf-2), a known mediator of phase II enzyme expression, and increased the transcriptional activity of antioxidant response element. Transfection of ECs with Nrf-2 siRNA blocked the inhibitory effect of arachidin-1 on ICAM-1 expression, NF-κB nuclear translocation and IκBα degradation. In addition, arachidin-1 induced the expression of the phase II enzymes thioredoxin-1, thioredoxin reductase-1, heme oxygenase-1, glutamyl-cysteine synthetase and glutathione S-transferase. Following arachidin-1 pretreatment, the H2O2-induced generation of reactive oxygen species was reduced. Therefore, the present results indicate that arachidin-1 suppresses TNF-α-induced inflammation in ECs through the upregulation of Nrf-2-related phase II enzyme expression.

Suppression of Aflatoxin Production in Aspergillus Species by Selected Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) Stilbenoids.
    Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 2018, Jan-10, Volume: 66, Issue:1

    Aspergillus flavus is a soil fungus that commonly invades peanut seeds and often produces carcinogenic aflatoxins. Under favorable conditions, the fungus-challenged peanut plant produces and accumulates resveratrol and its prenylated derivatives in response to such an invasion. These prenylated stilbenoids are considered peanut antifungal phytoalexins. However, the mechanism of peanut-fungus interaction has not been sufficiently studied. We used pure peanut stilbenoids arachidin-1, arachidin-3, and chiricanine A to study their effects on the viability of and metabolite production by several important toxigenic Aspergillus species. Significant reduction or virtually complete suppression of aflatoxin production was revealed in feeding experiments in A. flavus, Aspergillus parasiticus, and Aspergillus nomius. Changes in morphology, spore germination, and growth rate were observed in A. flavus exposed to the selected peanut stilbenoids. Elucidation of the mechanism of aflatoxin suppression by peanut stilbenoids could provide strategies for preventing plant invasion by the fungi that produce aflatoxins.

The phytogestrogenic stilbenes, arachidin-1 and resveratrol, modulate regulatory T cell functions responsible for successful aging in aged ICR mice.
    International journal of molecular medicine, 2016, Volume: 38, Issue:6

    CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) are recognized as a distinctive T helper cell population which controls immunosuppression during the maintenance of immunological self-tolerance and immunohomeostasis. Sex steroids modulate fundamental immune functions, including immune cell development, differentiation and polarization, and facilitate specific immunophysiological microenvironments, such as pregnancy. The supplementation of exogenous phytoestrogens is beneficial to post-menopausal women. Stilbenes are a potent group of phytoestrogens, of which resveratrol (Res) is a well-known representative exhibiting a variety of immunomodulatory activities, including the attenuation of autoimmune diseases and boosting anti-tumor immunity. In the present study, arachidin-1 (Ara‑1) and Res, primary stilbenes, enriched in peanut sprouts as phytoalexins, were investigated for their immunomodulatory properties for successful aging. We found that similar to 17-β-estradiol (E2), Ara‑1 or Res significantly inhibited concanavalin A (ConA)-activated lymphoblastogenesis of cell repertories from splenic or thymic origins. However, these inhibitory effects were partially reversed by the E2 receptor blocker, tamoxifen. While the ratios of the CD4+CD25+ cell population of ConA-activated T cell repertories were not significantly altered, treatment with E2, Ara‑1 or Res led to an increase in the number of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA-4; also known as CD152)-positive cells and in the gene expression levels of CTLA-4, Forkhead box P3 (FoxP3), interleukin (IL)-10 and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). When low (L-S-PNT) and high (H-S-PNT) levels of stilbene-enriched peanut sprout-fortified diets were provided ad libitum to 12‑week-old ICR mice for 48 weeks, their circulating Treg populations were assessed following magnetic bead enrichment. The gene expression levels of CTLA-4 and TGF-β were significantly (P<0.05) elevated, as assessed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The findings of the present study support the beneficial roles of the phytoestrogenic stilbenes, Res and Ara‑1, in facilitating a successful aging immune status which may attribute to longevity.

Enhanced Production of Resveratrol, Piceatannol, Arachidin-1, and Arachidin-3 in Hairy Root Cultures of Peanut Co-treated with Methyl Jasmonate and Cyclodextrin.
    Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 2015, Apr-22, Volume: 63, Issue:15

    Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) produces stilbenoids upon exposure to abiotic and biotic stresses. Among these compounds, the prenylated stilbenoids arachidin-1 and arachidin-3 have shown diverse biological activities with potential applications in human health. These compounds exhibit higher or novel biological activities in vitro when compared to their nonprenylated analogues piceatannol and resveratrol, respectively. However, assessment of these bioactivities in vivo has been challenging because of their limited availability. In this study, hairy root cultures of peanut were induced to produce stilbenoids upon treatment with elicitors. Co-treatment with 100 μM methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and 9 g/L methyl-β-cyclodextrin (CD) led to sustained high levels of resveratrol, piceatannol, arachidin-1, and arachidin-3 in the culture medium when compared to other elicitor treatments. The average yields of arachidin-1 and arachidin-3 were 56 and 148 mg/L, respectively, after co-treatment with MeJA and CD. Furthermore, MeJA and CD had a synergistic effect on resveratrol synthase gene expression, which could explain the higher yield of resveratrol when compared to treatment with either MeJA or CD alone. Peanut hairy root cultures were shown to be a controlled and sustainable axenic system for the production of the diverse types of biologically active stilbenoids.

New stilbenoids isolated from fungus-challenged black skin peanut seeds and their adipogenesis inhibitory activity in 3T3-L1 cells.
    Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 2013, May-01, Volume: 61, Issue:17

    One new stilbene derivative (3,5,3'-trihydroxy-4'-methoxy-5'-isopentenylstilbene, MIP) and two new stilbene dimers (arahypin-11 and arahypin-12) together with three known stilbenoids (arachidin-1, arachidin-3, and SB-1) were isolated from black skin peanut seeds challenged by the fungal strain Rhizopus oligoporus . The structures of the three new compounds were elucidated by analysis of HRESIMS, UV, 1D and 2D NMR spectra. The antiadipogenic and cytotoxic effects of the isolated compounds were investigated using 3T3-L1 cells at a concentration range of 1-10 μM. Among the compounds tested, arachidin-1 inhibited the 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation dose-dependently, whereas arahypin-11 and arahypin-12 exhibited significant cytotoxicity in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.

Natural prenylated resveratrol analogs arachidin-1 and -3 demonstrate improved glucuronidation profiles and have affinity for cannabinoid receptors.
    Xenobiotica; the fate of foreign compounds in biological systems, 2012, Volume: 42, Issue:2

    The therapeutic promise of trans-resveratrol (tRes) is limited by poor bioavailability following rapid metabolism. We hypothesise that trans-arachidin-1 (tA1) and trans-arachidin-3 (tA3), peanut hairy root-derived isoprenylated analogs of tRes, will exhibit slower metabolism/enhanced bioavailability and retain biological activity via cannabinoid receptor (CBR) binding relative to their non-prenylated parent compounds trans-piceatannol (tPice) and tRes, respectively.. The activities of eight human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) toward these compounds were evaluated. The greatest activity was observed for extrahepatic UGTs 1A10 and 1A7, followed by hepatic UGTs 1A1 and 1A9. Importantly, an additional isoprenyl and/or hydroxyl group in tA1 and tA3 slowed overall glucuronidation. CBR binding studies demonstrated that all analogs bound to CB1Rs with similar affinities (5-18 µM); however, only tA1 and tA3 bound appreciably to CB2Rs. Molecular modelling studies confirmed that the isoprenyl moiety of tA1 and tA3 improved binding affinity to CB2Rs. Finally, although tA3 acted as a competitive CB1R antagonist, tA1 antagonised CB1R agonists by both competitive and non-competitive mechanisms.. Prenylated stilbenoids may be preferable alternatives to tRes due to increased bioavailability via slowed metabolism. Similar structural analogs might be developed as novel CB therapeutics for obesity and/or drug dependency.

HSP90 inhibition induces cytotoxicity via down-regulation of Rad51 expression and DNA repair capacity in non-small cell lung cancer cells.
    Regulatory toxicology and pharmacology : RTP, 2012, Volume: 64, Issue:3

    Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is an exciting new target in cancer therapy. Repair protein Rad51 is involved in protecting non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines against chemotherapeutic agent-induced cytotoxicity. This study investigated the role of Rad51 expression in HSP90 inhibitor 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG)-induced cytotoxicity in two NSCLC cell lines, A549 and H1975. The 17-AAG treatment decreased cellular Rad51 protein and mRNA levels and phosphorylated MKK1/2-ERK1/2 protein levels, and disrupted the HSP90 and Rad51 interaction. This triggered Rad51 protein degradation through the 26S proteasome pathway. The 17-AAG treatment also decreased the NSCLC cells' DNA repair capacity, which was restored by the forced expression of the Flag-Rad51 vector. Specific inhibition of Rad51 expression by siRNA further enhanced 17-AAG-induced cytotoxicity. In contrast, enhanced ERK1/2 activation by the constitutively active MKK1/2 (MKK1/2-CA) vector significantly restored the 17-AAG-reduced Rad51 protein levels and cell viability. Arachidin-1, an antioxidant stilbenoid, further decreased Rad51 expression and augmented the cytotoxic effect and growth inhibition of 17-AAG. The 17-AAG and arachidin-1-induced synergistic cytotoxic effects and decreased DNA repair capacity were abrogated in lung cancer cells with MKK1/2-CA or Flag-Rad51 expression vector transfection. In conclusion, HSP90 inhibition induces cytotoxicity by down-regulating Rad51 expression and DNA repair capacity in NSCLC cells.

Induced biosynthesis of resveratrol and the prenylated stilbenoids arachidin-1 and arachidin-3 in hairy root cultures of peanut: Effects of culture medium and growth stage.
    Plant physiology and biochemistry : PPB, 2010, Volume: 48, Issue:5

    Previously, we have shown that hairy root cultures of peanut provide a controlled, sustainable and scalable production system that can be induced to produce stilbenoids. However to leverage peanut hairy roots to study the biosynthesis of this polyphenolic biosynthetic pathway, growing conditions and elicitation kinetics of these tissue cultures must be defined and understood. To this end, a new peanut cv. Hull hairy root (line 3) that produces resveratrol and its prenylated analogues arachidin-1 and arachidin-3 upon sodium acetate-mediated elicitation was established. Two culture media were compared for impact on root growth and stilbenoid biosynthesis/secretion. The levels of ammonium, nitrate, phosphate and residual sugars were monitored along growth and elicitation period. A modified MS (MSV) medium resulted in higher root biomass when compared to B5 medium. The stilbenoid profile after elicitation varied depending on the age of the culture (6, 9, 12, and 15-day old). After elicitation at day 9 (exponential growth in MSV medium), over 90% of the total resveratrol, arachidin-1 and arachidin-3 accumulated in the medium. Our studies demonstrate the benefits of the hairy root culture system to study the biosynthesis of stilbenoids including valuable prenylated polyphenolic compounds.

Arachidin-1, a peanut stilbenoid, induces programmed cell death in human leukemia HL-60 cells.
    Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 2010, Dec-08, Volume: 58, Issue:23

    The stilbenoids, arachidin-1 (Ara-1), arachidin-3, isopentadienylresveratrol, and resveratrol, have been isolated from germinating peanut kernels and characterized as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents. Resveratrol possesses anticancer activity, and studies have indicated that it induces programmed cell death (PCD) in human leukemia HL-60 cells. In this study, the anticancer activity of these stilbenoids was determined in HL-60 cells. Ara-1 had the highest efficacy in inducing PCD in HL-60 cells, with an approximately 4-fold lower EC50 than resveratrol. Ara-1 treatment caused mitochondrial membrane damage, activation of caspases, and nuclear translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor, resulting in chromosome degradation and cell death. Therefore, Ara-1 induces PCD in HL-60 cells through caspase-dependent and caspase-independent pathways. Ara-1 demonstrates its efficacy as an anticancer agent by inducing caspase-independent cell death, which is an alternative death pathway of cancer cells with mutations in key apoptotic genes. These findings indicate the merits of screening other peanut stilbenoids for anticancer activity.

Characterization of immunological activities of peanut stilbenoids, arachidin-1, piceatannol, and resveratrol on lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation of RAW 264.7 macrophages.
    Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 2007, Mar-21, Volume: 55, Issue:6

    Biological activities of peanut stilbenoids, mainly resveratrol and its derivatives, have attracted increased attention and interest because of peanut being a potent producer and a dietary channel to convey these polyphenols to the human body. As arachidin-1 and piceatannol are structurally close to resveratrol, it is worthy to investigate their immunological activities on inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced production of PGE2 and NO and mediation of the related transcription factors (NF-kappaB and C/EBP) of RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Productions of PGE2 and NO were inhibited by all the test stilbenoids in a dose-dependent manner while gene and protein expressions of COX-2 and iNOS were not inhibited. As shown by NF-kappaB-driven luciferase assay, LPS-induced NF-kappaB activities were also reduced by the stilbenoids. In further, when these stilbenoids were subjected to monitoring their inhibitory effectiveness on LPS-induced transcription factor expressions of C/EBPdelta and C/EBPbeta, only C/EBPdelta expressions were reduced. Thus, these stilbenoids were effective in inhibition of PGE2- or NO-mediated inflammation and NF-kappaB- or C/EBPdelta-mediated inflammatory gene expression. In comparison, the highest inhibitory activity on LPS-induced PGE2/NO production, C/EBPdelta gene expression, and NF-kappaB activation was piceatannol which was followed in order by arachidin-1 and resveratrol. The observed anti-inflammatory activities of these peanut stilbenoids are of merit in further consideration for nutraceutical applications.
