Abstract

Lipid peroxidation means the oxidative degradation of lipids. The process from the cell membrane lipids in an organism is generated by free radicals, and result in cell damage. Phlorotannins, well-known marine brown algal polyphenols, have been utilized in functional food supplements as well as in medicine supplements to serve a variety of purposes. In this study, we assessed the potential anti-lipid peroxidation activity of phlorofucofuroeckol-A (PFF-A), one of the phlorotannins, isolated from Ecklonia cava by centrifugal partition chromatography in 2,2-azobis (2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH)-stimulated Vero cells and zebrafish system. PFF-A showed the strongest scavenging activity against alkyl radicals of all other reactive oxygen species (ROS) and exhibited a strong protective effect against ROS and a significantly strong inhibited of malondialdehyde in AAPH-stimulated Vero cells. The apoptotic bodies and pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and caspase-3, which were induced by AAPH, were strongly inhibited by PFF-A in a dose-dependent manner and expression of Bcl-xL, an anti-apoptotic protein, was induced. In the AAPH-stimulated zebrafish model, additionally PFF-A significantly inhibited ROS and cell death, as well as exhibited a strong protective effect against lipid peroxidation. Therefore, these results suggest that PFF-A has excellent protective effects against ROS and lipid peroxidation induced by AAPH in both an in vitro Vero cell model and an in vivo zebrafish model.

INTRODUCTION

Lipid peroxidation generates oxygen free-radicals as well as metabolites in various cell injuries and under many pathological conditions (Esterbauer et al. 1992, Halliwell et al. 1992). In the presence of oxygen, lipid peroxidation induced by the peroxyl radicals (ROO•) contributes to adverse changes in bio-membrane composition such as attacking membrane polyunsaturated fatty acids, initiating lipid peroxidation chain reactions, leading to an interference with cell-signaling pathways, and ultimately to loss of cell function and viability (Bast et al. 1991, Hu and Kitts 2005). Many researchers have studied natural compounds with anti-lipid peroxidation activity as an alternative to the synthesis of compounds that produce various side effects (Jain et al. 2003, Faure et al. 2004, Ling et al. 2012).

Ecklonia cava Kjellman, an edible brown seaweed, grows prolifically along the Coast of Jeju Island in South Korea. In previous studies, phlorotannins from E. cava have been proved were shown to be responsible for antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-obesity, anti-elastase, anti-allergy, anti-inflammatory, and anti-human immunodeficiency virus activities (Artan et al. 2008, Le et al. 2009, Eom et al. 2012, Kang et al. 2012b, Ko et al. 2013, Kim 2014). One of the phlorotannins, phlorofucofuroeckol-A (PFF-A) was reported to have antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities recently and it has been known to regulate IgE-mediated allergic reactions (Li et al. 2009, Shim et al. 2009, Kim et al. 2011). However, the anti-lipid peroxidation effect of PFF-A has not been yet examined.

In this study therefore, we investigated whether PFF-A has a protective effect against lipid peroxidation induced by 2,2′-azobis (2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH) treatment in Vero cells (monkey kidney cell line) and a zebrafish system.

 

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Materials

E. cava collected on the coast of Jeju island, south Korea in June 2013, was ground and shifted through a 50 mesh standard testing sieve after dried by freeze dryer SFDSMO6 (Samwon freezing engineering Co., Busan, Korea), and then the dried E. cava was stored in refrigerator until use.

All solvents used for preparation of crude sample and centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) separation were of analytical grade (Daejung Chemicals & Metals Co., Seoul, Korea). High-performance liquid chromatography grade solvents were purchased from Burdick & Jackson (Muskegon, MI, USA).

Preparation of PFF-A from Ecklonia cava ethanolic extract

Dried E. cava (20 g) was extracted three times for 3 h using 70% EtOH under sonication at room temperature. The extract was concentrated in a rotary vacuum evaporator and partitioned with ethyl acetate (EtOAc), and then the dried EtOAc fraction was stored in a refrigerator for CPC separation. The isolation of PFF-A by CPC experiments were performed as our previous paper (Lee et al. 2014) and its structure was shown in Fig. 1. Identification of the compound (136.4 mg) obtained from 20 g E. cava was carried out using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR), and high-performance liquid chromatography–diode array detection–electrospray ion trap tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–DAD–ESI/MS) (negative ion mode) analyses.

Radical scavenging assay by electron spin resonance (ESR)

The variable radicals such as 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl and alkyl radicals were tested according to the previously described methods (Lee et al. 2013), and the spin adducts were recorded using a JES-FA ESR spectrometer (JES-FA ESR; JEOL, Tokyo, Japan).

Vero cell culture

A Vero cell line was cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium containing 10% heat-inactivated calf serum, streptomycin (100 μg mL-1) and penicillin (100 unit mL-1) at 37℃ in an incubator, under a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2.

Determination of cell viability and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in Vero cells (dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate [DCFH-DA] assay)

Cell viability was estimated using MTT assay according to the method described by Lee et al. (2015). MTT stock solution (50 μL; 2 mg mL-1) was added to each of the wells, to a total reation volume of 200 μL. After 4 h of incubation time the plates were centrifuged for 5 min at 1,500 rpm and the supernatant was aspirated. The formazan crystals in each well were dissolved in 150 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide and absorbance was measured using enzyme linked immune sorbent assay reader (Sunrise; Tecan Co., Ltd., Salzburg, Australia) at 540 nm. The DCFH-DA method was used to detect the levels of intracellular ROS (Ko et al. 2014). DCFH-DA fluorescence was detected at an excitation wavelength of 485 nm and the emission wavelength of 535 nm, using a Perkin-Elmer LS-5B spectrofluorometer (Walthman, MA, USA). The DCF fluorescence intensity is proportional to the amount of ROS formed intracellularly. Results are expressed as the percentage of ROS generation as compared to the control.

Determination of lipid peroxidation in Vero cells

Lipid peroxidation was estimated by measuring spectrophotometrically thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS) in AAPH treatment or AAPH treated PFF-A. TBARS determination was carried out according to the method of Heath and Parker (1968). Two hundred milligrams of cotyledons were homogenized in 3.5 mL of distilled water. An equal amount of 0.5% thiobarbituric acid in 20% trichloroacetic acid was added and the sample was incubated at 95℃ for 30 min. The reaction was stopped by transferring the reaction tubes to an ice bucket. The samples were then centrifuged at 8,000 ×g for 15 min. The supernatant was taken and absorbance was read at 532 nm and a value for the non-specific absorption was read at 600 nm. The amount of TBARS (A532 / A600) present was calculated from a calibration curve.

Hoechst 33342 staining assay

The nuclear morphology of the cells was evaluated using the cell-permeable DNA dye, Hoechst 33342 (Lee et al. 2015). Cells were treated with various concentrations of PFF-A (5.0, 20.8, and 41.5 µM) and 2 h later 15 mM of AAPH was added to the culture. After 24 h, the cell treated with final concentration 10 µg mL-1 of Hoechst 33342 for 10 min at 37℃ in dark. The stained cells were observed under a fluorescence microscope equipped with a CoolSNAP-Pro color digital camera (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) in order to determine the degree of nuclear condensation.

Western blot analysis

Vero cells (1 × 105 cells mL-1) were treated with PFF-A (5.0, 20.8, and 41.5 µM) for 2 h period with treatment of 15 mM AAPH and after 24 h, were harvested. The cell lysates were prepared with lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl [pH 7.4], 150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate, and 1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid). Cell lysates were washed via centrifugation, and the protein concentrations were determined using a BCA protein assay kit (Thermo SCIENTIFIC, Rockford, IL, USA). The 30 μg of protein were subjected to electrophoresis on 10% or 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, and the gels were transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). The membranes were incubated with primary antibody against Bax, Bcl-xL, cleaved caspase-3, and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase in TTBS (25 mM Tris-HCl, 137 mM NaCl, and 0.1% Tween 20, pH 7.4) containing 2% nonfat dry milk at 1 h. The membranes were then washed with TTBS and incubated with secondary antibodies such as anti-mouse IgG or anti-rabbit IgG (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA). The blots were developed by enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (iNtRON, Seongnam, Korea) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Band densities of the Western blots were analyzed with MCID Analysis Evaluation 7.0 (Imaging Research Inc., St. Catharines, ON, Canada).

Culture of zebrafish

Adult zebrafish were purchased from a commercial dealer (Seoul Aquarium, Seoul, Korea) and were kept in a 3 L acrylic tank at 28.5℃ with a 14 h : 10 h light-dark cycle. The zebrafish were fed 3 times per day, 6 days per week, with tetramin flake food. Embryos were obtained from natural spawning that was induced in the morning by turning on the light. The collection of embryos was completed within 30 min.

Measurement of total ROS, cell death and lipid peroxidation induced in AAPH-stimulated zebrafish embryo

The cell death and ROS was evaluated for antioxidant effects in in vivo zebrafish model by using the protocol described by Ko et al. (2014) and Kang et al. (2013) with a slight modification in zebrafish. Individual zebrafish embryo fluorescence intensity was quantified using a Perkin-Elmer LS-5B spectrofluorometer. The images of the stained embryos were observed using a fluorescent microscope, which was equipped with a Moticam color digital camera (Motix, Xiamen, China). Cell death was detected in live embryos using acridine orange staining, a nucleic acid selective metachromatic dye that interacts with DNA and RNA by intercalation or electrostatic attractions. The images of stained embryos were observed using a fluorescence microscope, which was equipped with a CoolSNAP-Pro colour digital camera (Olympus).

Statistical analysis

All the measurements were made in triplicate and all values were represented as means ± standard error. The results were subjected to an analysis of the variance (ANOVA) using the Tukey test to analyze the difference. A value of p < 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance.

 

RESULTS

Antioxidative activity of PFF-A

The antioxdative effect of PFF-A, isolated from E. cava, against DPPH, hydroxyl, and alkyl radicals measured by ESR is described in Table 1. As shown in the table, PFF-A exhibited the highest scavenging effect against alkyl radicals with an IC50 value of 3.9 μM, while its DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity had IC50 values of 10.3 and 21.4 μM, respectively.

Cytotoxicity and protective effects of PFF-A against oxidative stress in AAPH-stimulated Vero cells

PFF-A was no toxic in the cells at all the concentrations used (Fig. 2A), therefore, the effects of PFF-A on cell viability in AAPH-stimulated Vero cells were measured via the MTT assay. The AAPH-stimulated cells without PFFA (positive control) showed a cell survival rate of 48.7%, while the viabilities of cells pre-treated with PFF-A prior to AAPH treatment were increased in a dose dependent manner under non-cytotoxic conditions (Fig. 2B). The PFF-A pre-treated cells exhibited cell survival rates of 61, 77, and 79% at the concentrations of 5.0, 20.8, and 41.5 μM, respectively, compared to AAPH-stimulated cells. The scavenging efficacy of PFF-A on ROS production in AAPH-stimulated Vero cells was measured by the DCFHDA assay and results are described in Fig. 2C. As shown in the figure, the generation of intracellular ROS in Vero cells was increased to a fluorescence intensity of 15117 after the treatment with 15 mM AAPH comparing to non-treated cells. The cells treated with PFF-A inhibited ROS accumulation in a dose-dependent manner. Compared to the ROS levels in cells treated with AAPH alone, co-treatment of AAPH-stimulated cells with PFF-A at a concentration of 20.8 μM significantly reduced the ROS fluorescence intensity to 4371. Notably, the treatment with 41.5 μM of PFF-A resulted in a significantly increased intracellular ROS scavenging activity to 77.4%.

Protective effects of PFF-A against lipid peroxidation in AAPH-stimulated Vero cells

As shown in Fig. 2D, the inhibitory effect of PFF-A on lipid peroxidation of AAPH-stimulated Vero cells was determined by measuring TBARS, which is a lipid peroxidation product. When Vero cells were incubated with 15 mM AAPH for 2 h, TBARS was remarkably increased in comparison to the non-treated cells. Co-treatment of 5.0 μM PFF-A with AAPH remarkably inhibited TBARS formation, indicating that PFF-A may provide protection against lipid peroxidation. When the cells were treated with 5.0 μM PFF-A, TBARS was remarkably decreased by 4.3 nmol malondialdehyde (MDA).

Vero cells were seeded in 96-well plate at a concentration of 1.0 × 105 cells mL-1. After 16 h of incubation time at 37℃ the cells were treated with 10 μL of different concentrations of the sample (3, 12.5, and 25 μg mL-1) and incubated at 37℃ under a humidified atmosphere. After 2 h, AAPH was added at a concentration of 15 mM. (A) The viability of cells on only PFF-A treatment was determined by MTT assay.

Inhibitory effects of PFF-A against apoptosis induced in AAPH-stimulated Vero cells

To evaluate the protective effects of phlorotannins on apoptosis induced by AAPH, the nuclei of Vero cells were stained with Hoechst 33342 for microscopic analysis. Apoptotic bodies induced in Vero cells by AAPH treatment are shown in Fig. 3A. As shown in the figure, when the cells were treated with only AAPH a dramatic increase in nuclear fragmentation was observed as compared to non-treated cells, whereas treatment of PFF-A reduced the numbers of apoptotic bodies in a dose dependent manner. The Bcl-2 family plays an important regulatory role in apoptosis, either as an inhibitor (Bcl-xL) or as an activator (Bax) (Cory and Adams 1998). The pro-apoptosis proteins, Bax and caspase-3, and the anti-apoptosis protein, Bcl-xL, were measured by western blot and the results are shown in Fig. 3B. AAPH treatment strongly increased expression of the pro-apoptosis proteins Bax and cleaved caspase-3, whereas the PFF-A treatment dose-dependently decreased Bax and cleaved caspase-3 expression. Additionally, PFF-A treatment increased the Bcl-xL protein which was decreased by AAPH treatment.

Protective effects of PFF-A against ROS, cell death, and lipid peroxidation in AAPH-stimulated zebrafish embryo

The protective effect of PFF-A against oxidative stress in AAPH-stimulated zebrafish embryos is shown in Fig. 4A. AAPH treatment increased the fluorescence of DCFHDA by two-fold, compared to the non-treated group, while PFF-A treatment significantly decreased the ROS levels raized by AAPH under non-toxic conditions. Additionally, cell death in AAPH-stimulated zebrafish embryos was also decreased in a dose-dependent manner upon co-treatment with PFF-A (Fig. 4B). Lipid peroxidation in AAPH-stimulated zebrafish embryo was measured by the diphenyl-1-pyrenylphosphine (DPPP) assay and the results are shown in Fig. 4C. PFF-A dose-dependently decreased the quantification of DPPP fluorescence intensity. The results indicate that co-treatment with PFFA significantly decreased lipid peroxidation induced by AAPH treatment.

DISCUSSION

The accumulation of ROS by variable oxidative stress such as smoke, virus, bacteria, and ultra-radiation, etc., results in lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, DNA damage, and ultimately cell death. AAPH is a water-soluble azo compound widely used as a source of peroxyl radicals (ROO•), which were generated by thermal decomposition of the azo compound in oxygen (Niki 1990, Mayo et al. 2003). E. cava used for this study contains various phlorotannins such as eckol, 6,6-bieckol, dieckol, and PFF-A, etc. The phlorotannins have been known to have strong antioxidant activity against DPPH, hydroxyl, and peroxyl radicals. Among them, dieckol exhibits the strongest antioxidant effect with recorded IC50 values of 8.3, 28.6, and 14.5 μM, against DPPH, hydroxyl, and alkyl radicals, respectively. Additionally, PFF-A showed a strong antioxidant effect (IC50 values: 17.7, 39.2, and 21.4 μM, respectively) (Li et al. 2009). However, PFF-A isolated from E. cava in this study showed relatively stronger radical scavenging activities (IC50 values: 10.3, 21.4, and 3.9 μM, respectively) than the previous results. In particular, the peroxyl radical scavenging activity of PFF-A was shown to be the highest. These results indicated that PFF-A would have a protective effect against peroxyl radicals induced by AAPH.

Lipid peroxidation in biological systems has long been thought of as a toxicological phenomenon that results in pathological consequences and AAPH enhanced lipid peroxidation in cellular systems (Yokozawa et al. 2000). Consistent with these views, we measured the lipid peroxidant, MDA, to determine the antioxidant function of PFF-A against AAPH-induced cellular damage in Vero cells. In these results, PFF-A decreased AAPH-induced MDA formation in Vero cells. Thus, PFF-A prevented the accumulation of excessive free radicals and protected the Vero cells from AAPH-derived cellular injury.

Many of the agents that induce apoptosis are oxidants or stimulators of cellular oxidative metabolism, whereas antioxidants prevent apoptosis in some systems (Qin et al. 2001, Sakr and Abel-Samie 2008). Studies recently reported that Bcl-xL protein is also responsible for cellular defense against oxidative stress. In addition, the activation of Bcl-xL can inhibit lipid peroxidation. These facts indicate that the anti-apoptotic Bcl-xL protein is associated with mitochondrial membrane integrity by preventing capase-3 activation, Bax redistribution, and apoptosis (Er et al. 2006). In this study, PFF-A reduces apoptosis, via up-regulation of Bcl-xL and down- regulation of Bax and caspase-3 expression. The results indicate that PFF-A generates anti-lipid peroxidation by blocking apoptosis in Vero cells.

In zebrafish systems, we evaluated lipid peroxidation by a fluorescent probe DPPP. DPPP is non-fluorescent, but it becomes fluorescent for detection when the cell membrane lipid is peroxidized. Cell death was detected in zebrafish by staining with acridine orange, a nucleic acid specific metachromatic dye (Ko et al. 2014). Previous studies reported that AAPH-induced lipid peroxidation in zebrafish embryos was decreased by various phlorotannins from E. cava such as dieckol, eckol, triphlorethol A, eckstolonol, and phloroglucinol. The phlorotannins decreased the cell death generated in zebrafish embryos by stimulation of AAPH (Kang et al. 2013). In this study, we suggest that PFF-A, one of phlorotannins from E. cava, also possesses a strong protective effect against lipid peroxidation and cell death induced in zebrafish embryos by AAPH.

The free radicals generated from AAPH rapidly react with oxygen molecules to yield peroxyl radicals (Kang et al. 2012a). The lipid peroxyl radicals then attack other lipid molecules to form lipid hydroperoxide and new lipid radicals. This reaction takes place repeatedly with resultant attacks upon various biological molecules, and it induces physiochemical alterations and cellular damage (Miki et al. 1987). Due to this, PFF-A with strong peroxyl radical scavenging activity would protect our body from the damage of lipid peroxidation.

Consequently, this study investigated that PFF-A isolated from E. cava showed strong protective effects against lipid peroxidation induced in vitro and in vivo by AAPH. Therefore, PFF-A may be useful as a functional supplement for anti-lipid peroxidation.
