Abstract

2

Hesperidin (HES) is a flavanone glycoside found in citrus peel that contributes to its

3

bitter taste. It has low water solubility and poor oral bioavailability. To improve its solubility

4

and bioavailability, α-monoglucosyl HES (αGH) has been synthesized from HES by

5

transglucosylation using cyclodextrin glucanotransferase. Several reports indicate that αGH

6

significantly decreases body fat, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear.

7

We hypothesized that the anti-obesity effects of αGH occur through the induced formation of

8

brown-like adipocytes. The present study verified that dietary αGH induces brown-like

9

adipocytes to form in mouse inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT), thereby significantly

10

decreasing the weight of WAT. Furthermore, dietary αGH significantly induced

11

thermogenesis in iWAT. Dietary αGH also significantly suppressed high-fat-diet-induced

12

WAT accumulation in mice, which may be mediated by brown-like adipocyte formation.

13

These results indicate that dietary αGH induces increased energy expenditure by stimulating

14

the formation of brown-like adipocytes.

Introduction

17

Hesperidin (HES; Figure S1), a flavanone glycoside found in citrus peel, is

18

composed of the flavone hesperetin and the disaccharide rutinose, has been reported to have

19

several biological functions. For example, HES showed hypoglycemic effects in mice and

20

rats1,2, cardioprotective and hypolipidemic effects in rats3, and anti-hypertensive and

21

anti-inflammatory effects in patients with type 2 diabetes4. Several reports have shown that

22

HES has low solubility in water and poor oral bioavailability5,6. Accordingly, synthetic

23

α-monoglucosyl HES (αGH, Figure S1), which has higher water solubility and bioavailability,

24

can be obtained from HES via transglucosylation with cyclodextrin glucanotransferase7. At

25

present, αGH is an approved food additive in Japan8. The solubility of αGH is about 10,000

26

times greater than that of HES, and its bioavailability (determined as the area under the

27

concentration–time curve for hesperetin glucuronide in serum after αGH administration to

28

rats) is about 3.7-fold higher than that of HES9.

29

The improved water solubility and bioavailability has enabled applications in food

30

processing and the exploration of novel biological functions. For example, the

31

supplementation of αGH in canned mandarin syrup or orange juice significantly prevented

32

turbidity10. Additionally, a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind, parallel group study

33

in humans showed that the administration of αGH (1 g/day, 12 weeks) significantly decreased

34

the accumulation of body fat11. Another study reported that the administration of αGH (500

35

mg/day) in combination with caffeine (50 or 75 mg/day) for 12 weeks significantly

36

suppressed body fat accumulation in human subjects12. The specific molecular mechanisms

37

underlying these biological effects however remain unclear.

38

Recent research has shown that brown-like adipocytes, also called “brite” or “beige”

39

cells, are "inducible" brown adipocytes that share a range of morphological and biochemical

40

characteristics with classical brown adipocytes13 and occur within white adipose tissue

41

(WAT)14. Brown-like adipocytes release excess energy through thermogenic uncoupling 3 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

42

protein 1 (UCP1), a protein that shifts energy from ATP production to heat production by

43

causing leakage of protons in mitochondria and uncoupling electron transport from ATP

44

production15,16. Accordingly, the induction of brown-like adipocytes has potential as a

45

strategy for treating obesity and associated disorders, and many studies have investigated

46

dietary factors associated with the development of brown-like adipocytes17. We previously

47

showed that a highly dispersible curcumin formulation with good bioavailability clearly

48

induced brown-like adipocyte formation in mouse inguinal WAT (iWAT)18. However, native

49

curcumin, which has low aqueous solubility and poor bioavailability, did not induce

50

brown-like adipocyte formation18. Thus, we hypothesized that αGH, but not HES, exerts

51

anti-obesity effects by inducing brown-like adipocyte formation.

52

Here, we demonstrated that dietary αGH, but not HES, can induce brown-like

53

adipocyte formation within mouse iWAT and can significantly decrease WAT weight. In

54

addition, dietary αGH significantly induced thermogenesis in iWAT. Dietary αGH also

55

significantly suppressed the accumulation of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced WAT in mice,

56

likely mediated by brown-like adipocyte formation.

Materials and Methods

59

Chemicals. Commercially available αGH powder (Lot No.TA2517400) and HES

60

(Lot No.HE160401, purity > 92%) were obtained from Toyo Sugar Refining Co., Ltd.

61

(Tokyo, Japan). The αGH powder consisted of 82% αGH, 10% HES, and 8% undisclosed

62

components. Transglycosylation to HES and αGH purification were performed according to a

63

previous study7. Purity was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography8. Rabbit

64

polyclonal -actin (#4967), cytochrome c oxidase subunit IV (COXIV, #4844), total

65

AMP-activated protein kinase α (t-AMPKα, #2532), and phospho-AMPKα (p-AMPKα,

66

#2531) antibodies were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology Japan, K. K. (Tokyo, 4 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

67

Japan). Rabbit polyclonal UCP1 (ab10983) antibody was obtained from Abcam (Tokyo,

68

Japan).

69

Animal experiments. The design and execution of all experiments involving animals

70

was approved by the Animal Experiment Committee of Chubu University and conducted

71

according to their guidelines (Permission Nos. 3010024, 2910006, and 2810005).

72

Effect of dietary αGH on brown-like adipocyte and adipose tissue weight formation

73

in mice. Four-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were obtained from Japan SLC (Hamamatsu,

74

Japan) and maintained in an animal room under controlled conditions (23 ± 3°C; 12-h

75

light:dark cycle, illuminated 08:00–20:00) with free access to water and a standard laboratory

76

diet (CE-2, CLEA Japan Inc., Tokyo, Japan)18-20. After 1 week, mice were assigned to three

77

different groups: the control diet group (AIN-93G, n = 8) 21, the 0.5 αGH group (control diet

78

supplemented with αGH powder; 5 g of αGH powder/kg diet, i.e., 4.1 g of αGH/kg diet, n =

79

8), or the 1.0 αGH group (control diet supplemented with αGH powder; 10 g of αGH

80

powder/kg diet, i.e., 8.2 g of αGH/kg diet, n = 8) for 4 weeks. A summary of the diet

81

compositions is provided in Table S1. Every 2 days, both the control and αGH diets were

82

replaced. The αGH dose utilized in the present study was based on a preliminary experiment

83

that confirmed the level of αGH supplementation had no effect on food intake. After 4 weeks

84

of feeding, blood samples were collected from mice following -anesthesia with isoflurane

85

with a syringe containing 1 mM EDTA disodium salt, after which plasma was isolated via

86

centrifugation. At this time, iWAT, epididymal WAT (eWAT), brown adipose tissue (BAT),

87

skeletal muscles, and livers were removed18-20. As per our previous study18,19, small adipose

88

tissues samples were fixed for subsequent hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining and

89

immunostaining for UCP1. The staining protocols employed were those used in our previous

90

studies18,19. Further details are available in the Supporting Information. Tissue aliquots were

91

homogenized and used for immunoblotting analysis of UCP1, COXIV, and β-actin proteins in 5 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

92

BAT and iWAT samples as well as t-AMPKα and p-AMPKα (Thr172) proteins in the liver

93

and skeletal muscle samples. Pierce Western Blotting Substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific,

94

Yokohama, Japan) was used to visualize immunoreactivity18-20,22.

95

Effect of dietary HES on brown-like adipocyte formation in mice. Other 4-week-old

96

male C57BL/6J mice were also divided into two groups, control (n = 8) or HES groups (8.1 g

97

HES/kg control diet; n = 8), and received their respective experimental diets for 4 weeks. Diet

98

compositions are summarized in Table S2. Adipose tissue and blood samples were collected

99

as described above. The supplementary level of HES added to the diet was adjusted such that

100

the molar amount of HES was the same in the HES and 1.0 αGH diets.

101

Measurement of tissue temperature after αGH administration in mice. As described

102

in the above section, other mice were divided into two groups, namely, the control or 1.0 αGH

103

groups (n = 10 per group), and received the respective experimental diets for 4 weeks. On day

104

28 (4 weeks), mice were deprived of food for 1 h, from 08:00 to 09:00, to avoid the effect of

105

diet-induced thermogenesis and anesthetized with isoflurane. Mice were then placed on a

106

precision heat-controlled pad (fixed at 37.0°C; SN-700H, Shinano Manufacturing. Co., Ltd.,

107

Tokyo, Japan), and a needle-type temperature probe (MT-23/3 and 23/5, Physitemp

108

Instruments, Inc., Clifton, NJ) or rectal temperature probe (RET-3, Physitemp Instruments,

109

Inc.) connected to a digital microprobe thermometer (BAT-12R, Physitemp Instruments, Inc.)

110

was inserted into iWAT, BAT, or the rectum. We confirmed that the probe was inserted into

111

iWAT after measuring iWAT temperature in all mice by dissection. This analysis confirmed

112

that the probe had been correctly inserted into iWAT and not muscle. The rectal temperature

113

was maintained at [37.0°C for 10 min, and then mice received oral administration of vehicle

114

(saline; control) or αGH (100 mg/kg body weight) by intragastric intubation. BAT, iWAT,

115

and rectal temperatures were recorded at 1-min intervals. During the measurements, mice

116

were covered with laboratory paper towels to prevent heat loss. 6 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

117

Effect of dietary αGH on brown-like adipocyte formation and adipose tissue weight

118

in mice fed an HFD. Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to two groups and fed an

119

HFD based on AIN-93G containing 30% (w/w) lard (HFD group, n = 10) or an HFD

120

supplemented with 1.0% αGH (HFD + αGH group, n = 10) for 13 weeks. Experimental diet

121

compositions are summarized in Table S3. After 13 weeks of feeding, adipose tissue, skeletal

122

muscle, and liver were dissected. As described above, small iWAT and BAT samples were

123

then fixed and used for H&E staining and immunostaining. As described in our previous

124

studies16,18,19,21, tissue aliquots were homogenized and used for immunoblotting analysis of

125

COXIV, UCP1, and β-actin proteins in BAT and iWAT samples, while skeletal muscle and

126

liver samples were analyzed for t-AMPKα and p-AMPKα (Thr172) proteins.

127

Statistical analyses. Data were assessed using two-way analysis of variance

128

(ANOVA) and a subsequent Bonferroni test to compare the differences in temperature

129

changes at each time point (Figure 5). The differences among group means were analyzed by

130

Tukey–Kramer or Student’s t-tests. All data are expressed as means ± standard error of the

131

mean (SEM) values, with a threshold of P < 0.05 applied to determine statistical significance.

132 133

Results

134

αGH, but not HES, induced brown-like adipocyte formation in iWAT and suppressed

135

body fat accumulation. We first investigated whether αGH induced brown-like adipocyte

136

formation and suppressed body fat accumulation in mice. Overall weight gain as well as

137

eWAT and iWAT weights significantly decreased in the 1.0α GH group relative to the control

138

(Table 1). However, BAT weights and total food intake over the 4 weeks did not differ among

139

the groups (Table 1). UCP1 immunostaining and H&E staining of iWAT from both the 0.5α

140

GH and 1.0 αGH groups showed clear UCP1-immunopositive cells and multilocular

141

adipocytes compared with the control group (Figure 1A). Conversely, eWAT samples from 7 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

142

the αGH groups lacked both multilocular H&E-stained adipocytes and positive UCP1

143

immunostaining (Figure 1B). H&E-stained and UCP1-immunostained BAT samples showed

144

no difference among the three groups (Figure 1C).

145

To confirm the results of immunohistochemical analysis shown in Figure 1, COXIV

146

and UCP1 protein levels in both BAT and iWAT samples were examined. Expression levels

147

of UCP1 and COXIV proteins were significantly increased in iWAT samples from mice fed

148

1.0 αGH compared with the control (Figure 2A). UCP1 and COXIV levels in BAT samples

149

showed no differences among the three groups (Figure 2B).

150

The serine/threonine kinase AMPK is expressed in most eukaryotic cells; its

151

activation induces glucose utilization in skeletal muscle and enhances fatty acid oxidation in

152

the liver23. These metabolic changes result in decreased body fat accumulation22. We also

153

examined another mechanism of αGH-induced reduction of WAT accumulation, the

154

activation of AMPK in liver and skeletal muscle tissues. Dietary αGH did not significantly

155

affect p-AMPKα or t-AMPKα protein levels or the p-AMPKα:t-AMPKα ratio in these tissues

156

(Figure S2).

157

Next, we examined whether HES induced brown-like adipocyte formation at the

158

same dose (1.0 αGH) in mice. Food intake, overall weight gain, and adipose tissue weight

159

(iWAT, eWAT, and BAT) did not differ between the HES and control groups (Table S4).

160

H&E staining and UCP1 immunostaining of eWAT and iWAT samples from the HES group

161

did not show a significant amount of multilocular adipocytes or UCP1-immunopositive cells

162

(Figure 3A and B). In addition, UCP1-immunostained and H&E-stained BAT did not differ

163

between these groups (Figure 3C). The expression of both COXIV and UCP1 proteins in

164

BAT and iWAT samples from the HES and control groups did not differ (Figure 4A and B).

165

αGH significantly induced thermogenesis in iWAT. As αGH was observed to induce

166

brown-like adipocyte formation in iWAT samples, we investigated whether αGH induces the 8 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 9 of 28

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

167

elevation of core body or tissue temperature. To examine thermogenesis, αGH was

168

administered to mice for 4 weeks, and rectal, BAT, and iWAT temperatures were measured.

169

Rectal and BAT temperatures of the groups were similar throughout the measurement period

170

(Figure 5A and B). In contrast, changes in iWAT temperature seen in the αGH group were

171

significantly elevated from 10 to 60 min compared with the control group after administration

172

of vehicle or αGH (Figure 5C).

173

Dietary αGH decreased adipose tissue weight in HFD-fed mice. Dietary αGH

174

significantly induced the brown-like adipocytes formation, enhanced thermogenesis in iWAT,

175

and suppressed the weight of WAT. We examined the overall effect of dietary αGH on

176

obesity in HFC-fed mice. Overall weight gain and food intake throughout the experimental

177

period was relatively consistent between the groups (Table 2). The weights of eWAT and

178

iWAT from the HFD + αGH groups were significantly decreased relative to those of the HFD

179

group (Table 2). Compared with the control, UCP1-immunopositive cells were detected in

180

iWAT samples from the HFD + αGH group, but not in eWAT samples (Figure 6A and B). In

181

addition, HFD-induced hypertrophy of adipocytes in iWAT and eWAT was suppressed in the

182

HFD + αGH group (Figure 6A and B). UCP1-immunostained and H&E-stained BAT samples

183

from the groups were relatively similar (Figure 6C). Average adipocyte areas of iWAT and

184

eWAT samples from the HFD + αGH group were also significantly smaller than those of the

185

control group (Figure S3). UCP1 and COXIV protein levels in iWAT samples from the HFD

186

+ αGH group were significantly increased relative to those of the HFD group (Figure 7A).

187

However, levels of expression for both proteins did not differ between BAT samples from the

188

groups (Figure 7B).

189

Furthermore, we examined AMPK activation in liver and skeletal muscle tissues.

190

Dietary αGH had no significant effect on the p-AMPKα or t-AMPKα protein levels or the

191

p-AMPKα:t-AMPKα ratio (Figure S4). 9 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Discussion

194

HES is found in citrus peel and is the ingredient that confers the characteristic bitter

195

taste. It is thought to be a functional food-derived factor with various health benefits. Several

196

reports show that HES has biological functions1-4; however, its low water solubility and oral

197

bioavailability impede its use. These deficiencies have delayed research into the biological

198

functions of HES and complicated its use in both food additives and dietary supplements. To

199

address these problems, highly water soluble and bioavailable αGH has been developed7. This

200

has enabled studies of novel biological functions and potential applications as dietary

201

supplements. Some reports show that αGH intake leads to significant suppression of body fat

202

accumulation11,12, but the mechanism is not fully understood. These reports suggest that

203

water-soluble and bioavailable αGH, but not HES, can induce brown-like adipocyte formation

204

and subsequent UCP1-related thermogenesis in WAT, resulting in reduced accumulation of

205

body fat. In addition, we previously demonstrated that highly dispersible and bioavailable

206

curcumin, but not an equivalent native curcumin dose, significantly induces brown-like

207

adipocyte formation in iWAT18.

208

Based on this background, we first demonstrated that αGH taken for 4 weeks

209

significantly induced brown-like adipocyte formation in mouse iWAT and reduced overall

210

weight gain as well as WAT weight without significant changes in food intake compared with

211

the control. This effect, however, was not induced by administering an equivalent HES dose.

212

These results demonstrate that αGH, but not HES, can significantly induce of brown-like

213

adipocyte formation in mouse iWAT.

214

Induction of brown-like adipocyte formation can enhance thermogenesis and

215

contribute to suppressed body fat accumulation. In this study, BAT and rectal temperatures

216

were similar across groups. In contrast, changes in iWAT temperature in the αGH group were 10 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 10 of 28

Page 11 of 28

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

217

significantly elevated over 4 weeks compared with the control group. These data indicate that

218

αGH specifically induced thermogenesis in iWAT, and this was dependent on the induction of

219

UCP1 expression.

220

AMPK activation induces glucose utilization within skeletal muscle tissue and

221

enhances fatty acid oxidation in liver tissue, and these metabolic changes result in decreased

222

accumulation of body fat23. However, dietary αGH did not significantly affect the activation

223

of AMPK in skeletal muscle or liver. These findings suggest that αGH induces brown-like

224

adipocyte formation in iWAT, and this effect may have contributed to the significant

225

suppression of body fat. In addition, HFD-induced WAT accumulation was both significantly

226

suppressed by αGH intake and accompanied by significant induction of UCP1 and COXIV

227

protein in iWAT, but not activation of AMPK in skeletal muscle or liver tissues. These results

228

are consistent with αGH-induced brown-like adipocyte formation in iWAT being associated

229

with the observed suppression of WAT accumulation. The molecular mechanism may be

230

associated with αGH-induced reduction of WAT gain. However, a recent report showed that

231

there are heat-producing brown-like adipocytes that are independent of UCP1 expression in

232

eWAT24. The significant reduction of WAT weight by dietary αGH may also be associated

233

with UCP1-independent energy expenditure.

234

This study has raised further questions, and some limitations need to be addressed.

235

First, no significant differences were observed UCP1 expression and tissue temperature

236

changes in BAT between the control and αGH groups. While the exact reason remains

237

unclear, BAT is both more sensitive and dominant relative to WAT with respect to

238

β3-adrenergic signaling activation25,26. At the very minimum, the induction of brown-like

239

adipocyte formation by αGH is independent of the 3-adrenergic signaling pathway. Second,

240

our findings failed to explain how αGH induced brown-like adipocyte formation in iWAT.

241

One

possible

molecular

mechanism

is

that

243

domain-containing protein-16 protein stabilization18,27. The absorbed αGH was metabolized,

244

and the main metabolite was found to be hesperetin, (the aglycone of αGH) glucuronide in

245

serum after a single oral administration of αGH in rats8. Another report showed that a high

246

dose (250 μM) of hesperetin glucuronide acts as a PPARγ agonist in vitro28. However, it is

247

unlikely that a high dose of hesperetin glucuronide is distributed in iWAT, incorporated into

248

the cells, and then binds with PPARγ in vivo. Third, we did not demonstrate whether the

249

intact form, metabolites, or degradation products of αGH have the most bioactivity in vivo, so

250

it is necessary to investigate which products in particular contribute to induction of

251

brown-like adipocyte formation. Furthermore, identifying the primary molecular target or

252

trigger of αGH -induced brown-like adipocyte formation, intact form, metabolites, or

253

degradation products, may reveal the underlying biochemical mechanism.

254

In conclusion, highly water-soluble and bioavailable αGH, but not HES, significantly

255

induced brown-like adipocyte formation and enhanced thermogenesis in iWAT, which may

256

contribute to suppressed body fat accumulation. These results suggest that αGH increases

257

energy expended through brown-like adipocyte formation. Furthermore, our study showed

258

that αGH has significant in vivo bioactivity as a functional food factor.
