Cancer metastasis still accounts for up to 90% of cancer-related deaths, but the molecular mechanism for metastasis is unclear. Several chemokines and their receptors mediate tumor cell metastasis, particularly through long-term effects that regulate angiogenesis, tumor cell proliferation and apoptosis. Among them, CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) has been shown to play a pivotal role in cancer metastasis through interaction with a ligand (CXCL12), also known as stromal cell-derived factor 1α (SDF-1α). The CXCR4 promoter region is well characterized, and its expression is controlled by various transcriptional factors, including NF-κB, HIF-1α, and so forth. Isoorientin (ISO) is a 3', 4', 5, 7-tetrahydroxy-6-C-glucopyranosyl flavone. ISO has been reported to exhibit anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the anti-metastatic effect of ISO following downregulation of CXCR4 is unknown, and the mechanism underlying the antitumor activity has yet to be elucidated. In our present study, we showed that ISO inhibited the expression of CXCR4 through NF-κB regulation in breast and colon cancer cells. We have also demonstrated that ISO inhibits CXCR4 expression in a variety of tumor cells. Furthermore, we found that CXCR4 expression is regulated through inhibition of the transcription process. Inhibition of CXCR4 expression also reduced the invasion of cancer cells by CXCL12. In conclusion, our results suggest that ISO is a novel inhibitor to regulate CXCR4 expression and the key molecule contributing to antitumor activity.

본 연구에서는 목형 잎 추출물의 항산화 활성, 성분분석 그리고 mushroom tyrosinase 저해활성 측정, ${\alpha}$-MSH로 유도된 세포 내 멜라닌 생합성에 대한 저해활성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 목형 잎 추출물의 자유라디칼 (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) 소거활성 ($FSC_{50}$)은 에틸아세테이트 분획에서 $14.51{\mu}g/ml$, 아글리콘 분획에서 $13.96{\mu}g/ml$로 측정되었다. Luminol-의존성 화학발광법을 이용한 $Fe^{3+}-EDTA/H_2O_2$ 계에서 생성된 활성산소종 (reactive oxygen species, ROS)에 대한 목형 잎 추출물의 총항산화능은 아글리콘 분획에서 $0.22{\mu}g/ml$로, 아글리콘 분획에서 가장 큰 활성을 나타내었다. 목형 잎 추출물에 대하여 rose-bengal로 증감된 $^1O_2$에 의한 적혈구 파괴에 대한 세포보호 효과는 모든 분획에서 농도 의존적($1{\sim}50{\mu}g/ml$)으로 증가하였으며, 특히 아글리콘 분획에서 지용성 항산화제인 (+)-${\alpha}$-tocopherol 보다 우수한 세포보호 활성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. Mushroom tyrosinase의 활성 저해 효과($IC_{50}$)를 측정한 결과 에틸아세테이트 분획($IC_{50}$ = $48.58{\mu}g/ml$)에서 우수한 효과를 나타났고, ${\alpha}$-MSH로 유도된 세포 내 멜라닌 합성 저해 활성을 측정한 결과 에틸아세테이트 분획물의 $50{\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 41.80% 저해활성을 나타내었다. TLC, HPLC 및 LC/ESIMS를 이용한 성분분석 결과 에틸아세테이트 분획 중에 luteolin, isoorientin이 존재함을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과들로부터 목형 잎 추출물은 활성산소종을 소거하는 항산화제로 이용가능하며, 특히 mushroom tyrosinase 저해효과와 ${\alpha}$-MSH로 유도된 멜라닌 생합성 저해 효과로부터 에틸아세테이트 분획 중 luteolin 및 isoorientin을 새로운 미백 화장품의 원료로써 이용가능성을 알 수 있었다.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare) belongs to the Poaceae family. This study compared the polyphenol and flavonoid levels of unfermented and fermented barley sprouts using spectrophotometric assays. The findings indicated that fermentation greatly boosted the flavonoid content but caused only a slight increase in the polyphenol content. However, this does not imply that fermentation has no effects whatsoever on the polyphenol content of barley sprouts. This was due to the fact that some flavonoids cannot be detected by the wavelength used to calculate the overall polyphenol concentration. Both samples were subjected to high-performance liquid chromatography analysis and detected the flavonoids lutonarin, saponarin, isoorientin, isovitexin, and tricin-all of which have bioactive properties-most notably known for their antioxidant activity. These results augment the ongoing phytochemical profiling research and can possibly valorize the already thriving barley industry.

Environmental microbes like Bordetella petrii has been established as a causative agent for various infectious diseases in human. Again, development of drug resistance in B. petrii challenged to combat against the infection. Identification of potential drug target and proposing a novel lead compound against the pathogen has a great aid and value. In this study, bioinformatics tools and technology have been applied to suggest a potential drug target by screening the proteome information of B. petrii DSM 12804 (accession No. PRJNA28135) from genome database of National Centre for Biotechnology information. In this regards, the inhibitory effect of nine natural compounds like ajoene (Allium sativum), allicin (A. sativum), cinnamaldehyde (Cinnamomum cassia), curcumin (Curcuma longa), gallotannin (active component of green tea and red wine), isoorientin (Anthopterus wardii), isovitexin (A. wardii), neral (Melissa officinalis), and vitexin (A. wardii) have been acknowledged with anti-bacterial properties and hence tested against identified drug target of B. petrii by implicating computational approach. The in silico studies revealed the hypothesis that lpxD could be a potential drug target and with recommendation of a strong inhibitory effect of selected natural compounds against infection caused due to B. petrii, would be further validated through in vitro experiments.

Although many studies have been performed to elucidate the molecular consequences of ultraviolet irradiation, little is known about the effect of natural products. Ultraviolet irradiation is widely considered to be an environmental stress. Here we investigated the effect of 2',4',7-trihydroxyisoflavone on the regulation of MMP-1 and type 1 procollagen in Ultraviolet irradiation of cultured human dermal fibroblasts. Phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of Viola hondoensis led to the isolation of five flavonoids. The structures of these compounds were identified 2',4',5,7-tetrahydroxyisoflavone (1), 2',4',7-trihydroxyisoflavone (2), 4',7-dihydroxyflavone (3), isoorientin (4), and isovitexin (5) using spectroscopic analysis. Among these, 2',4',7-trihydroxyisoflavone reduced the expression of MMP-1 at the protein levels in a dose-dependent manner by ultraviolet irradiation. Taken together, our results suggest that 2',4',7-trihydroxyisoflavone an important role in the reduction of MMP-1 induction by ultraviolet irradiation.

Flavonoid contents of common buckwheat (cv. Kitawase) and tartary buckwheat (cv. Hokkai T 8, Hokkai T 9 and Hokkai T 10) were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Moreover, they were measured at different plant developments such as 10, 18, 20, 22 and 30 days after sowing (DAS) and with plant parts including leaf, stem and flower harvested at 30 DAS. Total flavonoids including chlorogenic acid, four kinds of C-glycosylflavones (orientin, isoorientin, vitexin, isovitexin) and rutin of tartary buckwheats (range of 44.2-54.7, mean 44.2) were found 35% higher than those of common buckwheat (28.9 mg/g dry wt.). Among them, rutin was measured above 80% of total flavonoid contents. The other flavonoids (chlorogenic acid and four kinds of C-glycosylflavones) presented the highest level at 10 DAS and decreased according to plant developments. On the other hand, rutin content of Kitawase presented the highest level (33.6 mg/g dry wt.) at 22 DAS and decreased up to 30 DAS. Rutin content in tartary buckwheat temporarily decreased from 10 to 18 DAS and then reversely increased up to 30 DAS presented the highest level as 'U' curve. In Hokkai T 10, rutin content was found the highest level (53.8 mg/g dry wt.) at 30 DAS. In different plant parts harvested at 30 DAS, rutin content of leaf (range of 42.8-68.0, mean 57.0) was 5.3-fold higher than that of stem (range of 8.0-15.9, 10.8 mg/g dry wt.), regardless of cultivar. Significantly, rutin content (78.7) in the flower of Kitawase was 1.8 times higher than in the leaf and 9.8 times in the stem. Especially, chlorogenic acid content (14.6 mg/g dry wt.) in the flower of Kitawase was 63-fold higher than in the leaf, and 20-fold in the stem.
