Article Abstract
Subglutinol A is an immunosuppressive α-pyrone diterpenoid isolated from Fusarium subglutinans that exhibits osteogenic activity. Several non-steroid mycotoxins isolated from various strains of Fusarium fungi exhibit female steroid hormone activities. In this study, we characterized the estrogenic activity of subglutinol A (1). Subglutinol A blocked the 17β-estradiol-induced activation of reporter plasmids and endogenous estrogen-responsive target genes in a dose-dependent manner and efficiently destabilized ER proteins as shown using the estrogen receptor antagonist ICI 182,780. Subglutinol A also displaced the specific binding of [(3)H]17β-estradiol from ER in MCF-7 whole-cell ligand binding assays. These data demonstrate the potential of subglutinol A as an ER antagonist though its competition with 17β-estradiol for direct ER association.

Autoimmune diseases are chronic inflammatory diseases associated with high morbidity and mortality. Treatment options for autoimmune diseases have increased over the past several decades, but they are, in general, limited in their clinical efficacy due to high toxicity and lack of selectivity. Thus, efforts must be made to identify new immunomodulatory agents that are effective through a novel mechanism to circumvent existing side effects.

Subglutinol A (1) is an immunosuppressive natural product isolated from Fusarium subglutinans, an endophytic fungus from the vine Tripterygium wilfordii. We show that 1 exerts multimodal immune-suppressive effects on activated T cells in vitro: subglutinol A (1) effectively blocks T cell proliferation and survival while profoundly inhibiting pro-inflammatory IFNγ and IL-17 production by fully differentiated effector Th1 and Th17 cells. Our data further reveal that 1 may exert its anti-inflammatory effects by exacerbating mitochondrial damage in T cells.

Immunosuppressive drugs are used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs and treat autoimmune diseases. Clinically approved immunosuppressive drugs possess undesirable side effects, including acute neurological toxicity, chronic nephrotoxicity, and osteoporosis. As a result, considerable efforts have been devoted to the identification of immunosuppressive natural products that lack cytotoxicity and undesirable side effects on bone structure.
