We isolated anthocyanins from fruits of Vitis coignetiae Pulliat, characterized the anthocyanin profile, and investigated the anti-invasive effects of the anthocyanins on human colon cancer cells. The anthocyanins inhibited cell invasion in a dose-dependent manner, as measured by Matrigel invasion assays, by suppression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 expression. The anti-invasive activity of the anthocyanins was associated with modulation of constitutive nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation. The activation of NF-kappaB triggered by tumor necrosis factor-alpha was also inhibited by the anthocyanins through suppression IkappaBalpha phosphorylation. AIMs inhibited the expression of NF-kappaB-regulated proteins. In conclusion, this study suggested that the anthocyanins isolated from fruits of V. coignetiae Pulliat should have anti-invasive activities on human colon cancer cells and the activities should be related to the inhibition of NF-kappaB-regulated proteins such as MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression through the inhibition of NF-kappaB activation.

Many grape endophytic microorganisms exhibit high potential for suppressing the development of grape diseases and stimulating grapevine growth and fitness, as well as beneficial properties of the crop. The microbiome of wild grapevines is a promising source of biocontrol agents, which can be beneficial for domesticated grapevines. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and classical microbiology techniques, we performed an analysis of bacterial and fungal endophytic communities of wild grapevines Rupr.

Previously, we isolated and identified anti-mutagenic and anti-inflammatory components from Vitis coignetiae (crimson glory vine, known as yamabudo in Japan) as 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DBQ), fertaric acid and caftaric acid. We also reported that the oral intake of a partially purified fraction from yamabudo juice (yamabudo-fr) or DBQ affords significant protection against two-stage skin carcinogenesis in mice. In this study, we found that oral intake of yamabudo-fr or DBQ affords significant protection against a tobacco-specific nitrosamine, 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK)-induced mouse model of lung tumorigenesis.

Evidence suggests that augmented expression of a certain gene can influence the efficacy of targeted and conventional chemotherapies. Here, we tested whether the high expression of enhancer of the rudimentary homolog (ERH), which serves as a prognostic factor in some cancers, can influence the efficacy of anthocyanins isolated from fruits of , Meoru in Korea (AIMs) on human gastric cancer cells. The anticancer efficacy of AIMs was augmented in ERH-transfected MKN28 cells (E-MKN28 cells).

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigated the anti-cancer effects of anthocyanins from fruits of AIMs on hepatocellular carcinoma cells, showing that they can induce apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation.
  • AIMs demonstrated a dose-dependent inhibition of Hep3B cell invasion and migration at a concentration of 100 µg/mL, both in vitro and in vivo.
  • Results from a xenograft mouse model confirmed that AIMs reduced tumor growth without causing toxicity, by inhibiting NF-κB activation and its associated target proteins.

Anthocyanins isolated from (Meoru in Korea) (AIMs) have various anti-cancer properties by inhibiting Akt and NF-κB which are involved in drug resistance. Cisplatin (CDDP) is one of the popular anti-cancer agents. Studies reported that MCF-7 human breast cancer cells have high resistance to CDDP compared to other breast cancer cell lines.
