Oak Tannin and Unoaked and Oaked Wine Extracts Influence Gene Expression in HepaRG Human Liver Cells

Abstract

Previous work from our laboratory has shown that both a purified toasted oak powder and extracts made from unoaked and oaked red wines influenced physiological parameters, metabolism and hepatic gene expression in high-fat fed C57/BL6J male mice (Luo et al., 2020).  Impacted pathways included glucose metabolism, liver fat accumulation, markers of chronic inflammation, and expression of the Gsta1 mRNA.  

In the present study, we utilized a novel cell model in a cell culture system, the HepaRG cell line.  These cells more closely resemble isolated human hepatocytes, and in particular, express robust levels of nuclear hormone receptors which may be involved in the sensing of phytochemicals.  We directly exposed HepaRG cells to three mixtures, the toasted oak tannin powder (OT), and two de-alcoholized extracts made from identical red wines fermented and aged in either steel tanks or oak barrels (oaked and unoaked wine concentrates; OWC & UWC).  In addition, other groups of cells were exposed to purified, individual compounds that may either be present in oaked wines or biotransformed by enterocytes of the small intestine:  ellagic acid (EA) and urolithin B (UroB).  OT concentration was 10 mg/L and OWC and UWC was 0.2 mL/L.  EA concentration was 300ug/L and UroB was 200ug/L.  Cells were exposed for a period of 48 hours, after which total RNA was isolated and used to perform ClariomB microarray gene expression analysis.  Data from these analyses is shown as both lists of most up- and down-regulated genes vs. untreated controls; with Venn diagrams to show commonality between different treatments, and upset plot analyses.

Les outils pour favoriser le renouvellement des générations en viticulture

French lawmakers have chosen the family-type winegrowing business as the benchmark for drafting the legal framework for winegrowing businesses and winegrowers. In france (source: msa), in 2022, there were 1,444 new winegrowers, an increase of 3% compared with 2021, representing 10% of new farm managers. The retention rate for winegrowers is 75% (up 13% on 2021), compared with 77% for all agricultural sectors (stable).

Hanseniaspora uvarum and high hydrostatic pressure for improving wine aging on lees

Non-saccharomyces yeasts gained an increased interest in winemaking during the last decades, due to their ability to produce relevant amounts of polysaccharides. Moreover, a significant release of glutathione into the wine during fermentation was also observed with these strains, as well as an improvement of color stability and wine aroma profile. Valuable results have been obtained by hanseniaspora spp. concerning the release of polysaccharides and the production of acetic esters, mainly during fermentation.

Vineyard management practices to reduce sugar content on ‘Monastrell’ grapes

Climate change is resulting in more dry and hot summers, accelerating grape ripening and increasing berry sugars concentration. This results in wines with a higher alcohol content, which has a negative impact on wine quality, as well as, on consumer health. Agronomic practices that minimize these effects on berry composition and, consequently, on wine quality must be defined. In this work, different management practices have been assessed on rainfed ‘Monastrell’ grapevines in Jumilla (Murcia, Spain) from 2021 to 2023 vintages. Mulching, shading, application of kaolin and different types of pruning were evaluated, among others field adaptation practices.
