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.

The bottleneck/cork interface: A key parameter for wine aging in bottle

The shelf life of wine is a major concern for the wine industry. This is particularly true for wines intended for long cellaring, which are supposed to reach their peak after an ageing period ranging from a few months to several years, or even decades. Low, controlled oxygen inputs through the closure system are generally necessary for the wine to evolve towards its optimum organoleptic characteristics. Our previous studies have already shown that the interface between the cork and the bottleneck plays a crucial role in the transfer of oxygen into the bottled wine.

Volatilome in grapevine leaves is defined by the variety and modulated by mycorrhizal symbiosis

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) constitute a diverse group of secondary metabolites key for the communication of plants with other organisms and for their adaptation to environmental and biotic stresses. The emission of these compounds through leaves is also affected by the interaction of plants with symbiotic microorganisms, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) among them [1]. Our objective was to know the concentration and profile of VOCs emitted by the leaves of two grapevine varieties (Tempranillo, T, and Cabernet Sauvignon, CS, grafted onto R110 rootstocks), inoculated or not with a consortium of five AMF (Rhizophagus irregularis, Funneliformis mosseae, Septoglomus deserticola, Claroideoglomus claroideum and C. etunicatum).

Partitioning of seasonal above‐ground biomass of four vineyard-grown varieties: development of a modelling framework to infer temperature-rate response functions

Aims: Forecasting the biomass allocation among source and sinks organs is crucial to better understand how grapevines control the distribution of acquired resources and has a great meaning in term of making decisions about agricultural practices in vineyards. Modelling plant growth and development is one of prediction approaches that play this role when it concerns growth rates in response to variation in environmental conditions
