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.

Mannoprotein extracts from wine lees: characterization and impact on wine properties

This study aims at exploiting an undervalued winemaking by-product, wine yeast lees, by developing efficient and food-grade methods for the extraction of yeast glycoproteins. These extracts were then supplemented to wine and their impact on wine properties assessed.

Autochthonous non-Saccharomyces extra-cellular metabolism of tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine

Amino acids are crucial nitrogen sources in yeast metabolism, influencing both biomass production and fermentation rate. The breakdown byproducts of amino acids contribute to the aroma of the wine and wine’s health benefit compounds. This study focused on the yeast’s extracellular metabolic profile of tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine belonging to the group of aromatic amino acids in experimental Maraština wines. Alcoholic fermentations were conducted on sterile grape Maraština must using seven autochthonous non-Saccharomyces yeasts in sequential fermentation with commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Identification and biological properties of new resveratrol derivatives formed in red wine

Resveratrol is a well-known wine constituent with a wide range of activities. In wines, resveratrol can be oxidized to form various derivatives including oligomers [1]. In this study, resveratrol derivative transformation in hydroalcoholic solution was investigated by oxidative coupling using metals. De novo resveratrol derivatives were synthetized and analysed by NMR and MS experiments

INVESTIGATION OF MALIC ACID METABOLIC PATHWAYS DURING ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION USING GC-MS, LC-MS, AND NMR DERIVED 13C-LABELED DATA

Malic acid has a strong impact on wine pH and the contribution of fermenting yeasts to modulate its concentration has been intensively investigated in the past. Recent advances in yeast genetics have shed light on the unexpected property of some strains to produce large amounts of malic acid (“acidic strains”) while most of the wine starters consume it during the alcoholic fermentation. Being a key metabolite of the central carbohydrate metabolism, malic acid participates to TCA and glyoxylate cycles as well as neoglucogenesis. Although present at important concentrations in grape juice, the metabolic fate of malic acid has been poorly investigated.
