ABSTRACT

2

This study evaluates the anti-proliferative and anti-genotoxic actions of powdered red wine pomace

3

seasonings (Sk-S:seedless, W-S:whole, Sd-S:seeds). In vitro gastrointestinal digested and colonic

4

fermented fractions of the seasonings were used as cell treatments. Phenolic acids from Sk-S

5

showed the highest bioaccessibility in the small intestine whereas polyphenols contained in Sd-S

6

might be the most fermentable in the colon. Dietary fiber from Sk-S was the best substrate for short

7

chain fatty acids production by gut microbiota. Colon cancerous (HT-29) cell viability was inhibited

8

by 50% (IC50 values) at treatment concentrations ranging from 845 (Sk-S) to 1085 (Sd-S) µg/mL

9

prior digestion, but all digested fractions exhibited similar anti-proliferative activities (mean

10

IC50=814 µg/mL). Oxidative DNA damage in cells was also attenuated by the treatments (200

11

µg/mL, 24-h preincubation), with all colonic fermented fractions displaying similar genoprotective

12

action. These results suggest the potential of red wine pomace seasonings as chemopreventive

13

agents in colorectal cancer.

INTRODUCTION

20 21

Oxidative stress is undoubtedly associated with colorectal cancer. The colonic epithelium is greatly

22

expose to several oxidants incorporated with the diet and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS)

23

generated in fecal materials, which has been suggested to play a significant role in the etiology of

24

colon cancer.1,2 In addition, inflammatory cells and cancer cells themselves overproduce free

25

radicals and soluble mediators which lead to further RONS production. All the exogenous and

26

endogenous deleterious reactive species generated can directly oxidize DNA and interfere with

27

mechanisms of DNA repair, triggering DNA chain breaks, base modification, and other oxidative

28

DNA lesions.3 Permanent alteration of genetic material as a result of such oxidative damage is

29

involved in mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, and ageing.4

30

In this framework, attenuation of RONS-induced DNA damage is included as a first line of defense

31

against carcinogenesis as it could prevent the initiation phase of this multistage process (primary

32

cancer prevention). In addition, other important anti-cancer mechanisms consist on inhibiting

33

cancerous cell proliferation, which could arrest cell promotion and progression (secondary cancer

34

prevention).5,6 These effects can be achieved by the chronic administration of synthetic, natural or

35

biological agents to reduce or delay the occurrence of cell malignancy, strategy that is known as

36

cancer chemoprevention.7

37

Numerous studies support the beneficial effects of some dietary constituents as chemopreventive

38

agents against colorectal cancer. Consistent evidence indicates that high intake of dietary fiber from

39

fruit, vegetables and whole grains is inversely associated with the risk of this type of cancer.8 Such

40

benefits have been partly attributed to the production of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the large

41

intestine during fiber fermentation.9 Also the presence of significant amounts of phenolic

42

antioxidants in fruits and vegetables is believed to largely contribute to their chemopreventive

43

effects in the colon.10–12

44

Previous research in polyphenol-rich extracts from wines and grapes has demonstrated the ability of

45

their phytochemicals to modulate colonocyte mutagenesis and prevent tumor initiation and ACS Paragon Plus Environment

promotion.13 Beneficial effects of wine pomace upon the large intestinal mucosa have been also

47

suggested 14 and mainly related to the high content of both polyphenolic molecules and dietary fiber

48

in this winemaking residue.15,16

49

Recently, new seasonings obtained directly from different parts of red wine pomace have been

50

developed, avoiding any extractive processes during its manufacture. These powdered red wine

51

pomace seasonings (RWPSs) represent an innovative strategy to reduce/replace salt added to foods

52

while increasing the intake of dietary fiber and natural antioxidants, mainly polyphenols.17 Such

53

high contents in sources of bioactive compounds further suggest possible health benefits of RWPSs

54

in the gastrointestinal tract.

55

On the basis of these considerations, the major aim of this study was to investigate the potential of

56

different RWPSs in chemoprevention by assessing their anti-proliferative and anti-genotoxic effects

57

against oxidative stress in human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29) cells, taking into account the

58

biaccessibility and metabolism of the RWPS polyphenols and dietary fiber along the gut, until

59

reaching the colon.

83 84

Red wine pomace seasonings (RWPSs). The seasonings used in this study were made in the pilot

85

plant of the Food Technology Department of University of Burgos (Spain) as previously

86

described.17,18 Red wine pomace (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Tempranillo) was supplied by several

87

wineries located at Burgos (Spain). All wine pomace was mixed, dehydrated (final water content
0.96) for all the treatments. The concentration of each treatment that inhibited

182

50% of cell viability (IC50) was determined, expressing the IC50 values for each fraction in µg/mL

183

of medium.

184 185

Anti-genotoxic activity assessment (Comet assay). Single-cell gel electrophoresis under alkaline

186

conditions, also known as the comet assay, was performed as previously reported 24 to determine

187

the effect of RWPS and their derived fractions on colonocyte DNA damage, using menadione as

188

oxidation agent. HT-29 cells were seeded in 25 cm2 cell culture flasks (1x104 cells/cm2, flask filled

189

with 5 mL of medium), pre-incubated with basal DMEM for 24 h, and exposed for other 24 h to

190

each fraction at a final concentration of 200 µg/mL of medium. Non-oxidised control (C) and

191

oxidised control (O C) cells were incubated just with DMEM. Two types of experiments were

192

performed:

193

a) O-RWPS: the treatments were first removed and oxidation was then induced by adding 5 mL of

194

DMEM containing menadione (0.2 µM of final concentration) and incubating for 5 h.

195

b) O+RWPS: an aliquot of 50 µL of menadione (20 µM, diluted in DMEM) was directly added to

196

the flasks containing the treatments and oxidation was maintained for 5 h.

197

The possible genotoxic effect of the fractions was also evaluated by treating pre-incubated cells

198

with PBS instead of menadione. Following oxidation, HT-29 cells were scraped, centrifuged (3,000

199

g, 5 min, 4 ºC), resuspended in pre-heated 1% Low-Melting-point agarose, and added to frosted

200

microscope slides precoated with 1% Normal-Melting-point agarose. After the agarose solidified,

201

slides were immersed in cold lysing solution (2.5 M NaCl, 100 mM EDTA, 100 mM Tris, 1%

202

sodium-lauryl-sarcosineate, 1% Tritton X-100, 10% DMSO, pH 10) overnight at 4 ºC. The next

203

day, all slides were placed in an electrophoresis tank containing alkaline electrophoresis buffer (1

204

mM EDTA, 0.3 N NaOH, pH 10) and the DNA allowed to unwind for 40 min. Electrophoresis was

205

conducted at 4 ºC, 25 V, 500 mA and 150 W. The slides were subsequently wash three times for 2

206

min with neutralizing buffer (0.4 M Tris, pH 7.5), stained with ethidium bromide (20 µg/mL,

207

20µL/slide), observed using a ZEISS axioplan fluorescence microscope (Carl Zeiss A.G., ACS Paragon Plus Environment

209

Europe B.V., Amsterdam, The Netherlands). The images were analyzed using the program

210

CometScoreTM Version 1.5 (TriTek, Corp., Sumerduck, VA, USA). For each analysis, 60 randomly

211

selected individual cells were calculated and their tail length evaluated. Each experiment was

212

repeated independently three times. DNA damage was expressed as mean % tail length in relation

213

to the oxidized control ([T/O C]%).

214 215

Statistical analysis. Analysis was performed using Statgraphics® Centurion XVI, version 16.2.04

216

(Statpoint Technologies Inc., Warranton, VA, USA). Statistical significance of the data was tested

217

by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), using the Fisher's least significant difference (LSD)

218

test to compare the means that showed significant variation (p < 0.05).

RESULTS

221 222

Phenolic acid contents of RWPSs and derived digested fractions. The sum of phenolic acids

223

determined in the UD, GIDD and CF fractions derived from the RWPSs is presented in Figure 1. In

224

the three types of RWPSs, higher concentrations of phenolic acids were detected in the digested

225

than the UD fractions, but important differences between the seasonings were detected. For Sk-S

226

the most concentrated fraction was GIDD, showing about three- and two-folds higher (p < 0.001)

227

contents than UD and CF, respectively. For W-S both digested fractions were around three times

228

more concentrated than the UD fraction, with GIDD showing slightly but significantly higher

229

values than CF. The opposite trend was observed for Sd-S where the CF fraction contained the

230

highest quantity of phenolic acids, being almost five- and four-folds more concentrated (p < 0.001)

231

than UD and GIDD, respectively. Comparing between the RWPSs, the sum of phenolic acids was

232

significantly higher in Sk-S than Sd-S for both the UD and the GIDD fractions whereas the contrary

233

was observed for the CF fractions, with W-S obtaining intermediate values in all cases. Further

234

SCFAs levels of CF fractions. The highest levels of SCFAs were detected in Sk-S, and the lowest

240

in Sd-S, both evaluating the individual (butyric, acetic and propionic acids) and the total SCFA

241

contents (Figure 2). Acetic acid was the main SCFA produced in the three RWPSs, and butyric

242

acid the lowest. The molar SCFA ratio obtained for each seasoning was different, with Sk-S

243

showing the highest relative production of butyric acid, W-S of propionic acid, and Sd-S of acetic

244

acid.

245 246

Anti-proliferative effects of RWPSs and their respective digested fractions. Following

247

incubation of HT-29 cells with different concentrations of the treatments for 24 h, a dose-dependent

248

inhibition of cell viability was observed for all the RWPSs and derived digested fractions (data not

249

shown), allowing to calculate the IC50 value of each fraction (Figure 3). The concentration of

250

treatment capable to inhibit cell viability by 50% was used to compare the anti-proliferative actions

251

between the different fractions and seasonings. For Sk-S, all fractions elicited similar anti-

252

proliferative activities (mean IC50 around 833 µg of fraction/mL of medium). For W-S the GIDD

253

fraction was the most effective, showing around 25% higher (p < 0.05) capacity to reduce the

254

number of viable cells than the respective UD treatment. As regards Sd-S, both of its digested

255

fractions obtained similar IC50 values and displayed around 23% more potent anti-proliferative

256

effects than prior digestion. Comparing the same type of fractions, differences between the RWPSs

257

were observed only for the UD treatments where Sk-S exhibited the highest ability to reduce cell

258

viability and Sd-S the lowest.

262

When the treatments were absents during the oxidative insult (Figure 4, A) the genopreventive

263

effect of Sk-S before in vitro digestion was preserved after the whole process, while the capacity to

264

prevent oxidative DNA damage for the other RWPSs increased progressively along digestion,

265

showing significant differences from UD to CF fractions for W-S, and between all the fractions for

266

Sd-S (p < 0.05). Significant differences in the anti-genotoxic effect observed between the RWPSs

267

were only found before digestion, with Sk-S showing the highest efficacy and Sd-S the lowest. In

268

the presence of the treatments during the oxidation (Figure 4, B) the trends between the fractions

269

derived from both Sk-S and Sd-S were similar as described above in their absence. However, the

270

tendency observed for W-S changed, not detecting significant differences between its fractions in

271

the O+RWPS experience. The seasoning showing the highest anti-genotoxic action was Sk-S

272

preceding colonic fermentation (UD and GIDD fractions) and Sd-S after the action of gut

273

microbiota (CF fraction). The treatments alone were not genotoxic towards the HT-29 cells at the

274

concentrations used.

275

The table accompanying Figure 4 shows the increase in the anti-genotoxic effect from O-RWPS to

276

O+RWPS. The differences ranged around 20% higher (p < 0.001) protection due to the presence of

277

the treatments during the oxidation for most types of fractions and seasonings. Nonetheless, the %

278

change detected for the UD fraction derived from W-S was the highest, both in comparisons

279

between the different fractions of this seasoning and between the UD fractions of the three RWPSs.

280 281

DISCUSSION

282 283

There is increasing interest in strategies for cancer prevention, with a number of dietary constituents

284

being regarded as promising chemopreventive agents.6 In this study, three new powdered

285

seasonings derived from different parts of red wine pomace (seedless: Sk-S, whole: W-S, seeds: Sd-

286

S) have been investigated for their anti-genotoxic and anti-proliferative effects in cancerous

287

colonocytes as surrogate indexes of their potential in primary and secondary cancer

288

chemoprevention.5,7,25 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

289

Our results showed that Sk-S and W-S contained high levels of weakly bound or free phenolic acids

290

that were readily liberated during the gastrointestinal phase of digestion. In the organism, some of

291

these phenolic acids will pass through the epithelial cells of the small intestine and reach the blood

292

stream whereas non-absorbed ones will reach the large bowel. Part of these compounds are

293

represented by the phenolic acids contained in the GIDD fractions,26 which were found at

294

substantial increased concentrations than before digestion in both Sk-S and W-S.

295

Once compounds bound to dietary fiber of wine pomace reach the colon, they may be liberated

296

from non-digested matrices and degraded by colonic microbiota. Monomeric flavonoids and soluble

297

proanthocyanidins of high molecular weight are susceptible to extensive microbial fermentation,

298

suffering de-polymerization and degradation of monomers and resulting in the accumulation of

299

simple phenolic acids and metabolites.27,28 Hence, the high concentration in phenolic acids,

300

predominantly gallic acid, detected in the CF fractions derived from W-S and especially from Sd-S

301

was probably due to the large contents in mono- and oligomeric flavan-3-ols and galloylated

302

molecules of wine pomace seeds,17,18,29 which can be degraded to gallic acid in the colon.30

303

The colonic microbiota can also break down dietary fiber contained in RWPSs,17 leading to the

304

production of SCFAs which are chiefly represented by acetic, propionic and butyric acids.27

305

Qualitative and quantitative differences were detected in the pattern of SCFAs resultant from

306

colonic fermentation of the different RWPSs. The differences in the type of carbohydrates

307

constituting dietary fibers and the peptides retained to the insoluble matrices, as well as the

308

interactions between them and their influence in gut microbiota,31 might partly explained the

309

different SCFA levels and molar proportion found for each RWPS. In addition, the higher contents

310

of proanthocyanidins in wine pomace seeds than skins may well contribute to the lower SCFA

311

contents detected in colonic fermented fractions derived from Sd-S than from Sk-S, as these

312

complex phenolic compounds can inhibit SCFA formation.32

313

The potential of the RWPS-derived bioactive compounds to exert beneficial actions against colon

314

cancer were assessed in the HT-29 cell line, which is a widely employed model of transformed

315

neoplastic colorectal cells in studies of cell cycle events and genotoxicity.33 It should be also noted ACS Paragon Plus Environment

13

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

316

that the total phenolic contents of all cell treatments (Supporting Information Table S2; values

317

estimated from the Folin-Ciocalteu indexes of each fraction)20 represented physiologically relevant

318

doses accordingly to previous studies where total phenolic concentrations below 50 µg GAE/mL of

319

medium were established as achievable in the colon.47

320

The chemopreventive effects described for some phenolic compounds 11,34 and SCFAs 9,25 can be

321

mediated by either their blocking activities, which are mostly related to primary cancer prevention,

322

or their suppressing activities, which can provide secondary cancer prevention.5 Exerting one type

323

of activity or the other depends greatly on the concentration of such bioactive compounds.

324

The IC50 values obtained for RWPS and their respective fractions showed that, before digestion, Sk-

325

S may display the highest anti-proliferative activity in colon cancerous cells. However, the

326

transformations taking place along the digestive process appear to increase the overall capacity to

327

inhibit cell viability of the compounds derived from W-S and Sd-S, but not from Sk-S. Therefore,

328

our results are consistent with the previous studies reporting anti-proliferative effects of grape

329

phytochemicals in numerous cancer cells, which have been associated with molecular mechanisms

330

that result in the arrest of the cell cycle, and the induction of apoptosis, among other cancer

331

suppressing effects.35,36

332

Considering the phenolic composition of the undigested RWPSs,17 the highest efficacy of Sk-S to

333

inhibit HT-29 cell growth preceding digestion can be explained by its high content in anthocyanins,

334

whose cytotoxic and anti-proliferative effects in colon cancerous cells have been reported by

335

several authors.37,38 In fact, previous research in extracts obtained from grapes has demonstrated

336

that those fractions rich in anthocyanins, followed by flavonols and tannins, displayed the highest

337

anti-proliferative activity in HT-29 cells, while the phenolic acid-enriched fractions were the least

338

effective.39 In the fractions collected just after gastrointestinal digestion (GIDD fractions), our

339

results suggested that some phenolic acids such as salicylic, syringic, and protocatechuic acids

340

could contribute to the observed anti-proliferative effects, particularly in Sk-S and W-S, where

341

these hydroxybenzoic acids are present at high concentrations. Salicylic could be particularly

342

responsible bearing in mind that its pro-apoptotic effects on colon carcinoma cells have been ACS Paragon Plus Environment

14

Page 14 of 32

Page 15 of 32

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

343

previously demonstrated,40 whereas none or low anti-proliferative and cytotoxic activities have been

344

seen for protocatechuic, syringic and vallinic acids,37,41 In addition, non-absorbed flavonoids

345

liberated from the RWPS matrices may also play a substantial cancer suppressing role,36 mainly in

346

Sd-S where phenolic acids were poorly bioaccessible until reaching the colon.

347

After colonic fermentation, gallic acid could be implicated in the observed reduction of HT-29 cell

348

viability, mainly in W-S and Sd-S, as this phenolic acid has been described as a potent inhibitor of

349

cancerous cell proliferation.37 The CF fraction derived from Sk-S retained its capacity to decrease

350

cell viability to a similar extent as prior colonic fermentation and as other CF fractions, which

351

evidenced the contribution of either colonic metabolites or non-degraded native compounds (such

352

as anthocyanins)41 to the anti-proliferative effects of this treatment. Furthermore, the SCFAs formed

353

in the large bowel may also protect against colorectal cancer.42 Previous studies have proposed that

354

both butyrate and propionate, but not acetate, are able to counteract HT-29 cells proliferation.43 In

355

particular, the ability of butyrate to promote growth arrest, differentiation, and apoptosis in

356

cancerous cells has been extensively studied,44,45 As the HT-29 cells carry a mutant form of the p53

357

gene, which is often mutated in colorectal tumors, butyrate might efficiently induce the

358

programmed death of these cancerous cells because this SCFA has been suggested to activate p53-

359

independent mechanisms of apoptosis.2

360

The anti-genotoxic effects in HT-29 cells of the RWPSs and their respective digested fractions were

361

assessed by the comet assay. As phenolics can themselves be genotoxic and act in a pro-oxidant or

362

an antioxidant way over different dose ranges,46 treatment concentrations that may exert beneficial

363

instead of putative detrimental effects in cells must be investigated to evaluate the potential of

364

phenolic-rich agents in primary cancer prevention. Thus, based on the anti-proliferation results and

365

considering concentrations lower than the IC20 as non-cytotoxic, 200 µg of fraction per mL of

366

culture medium was selected as a non-cytotoxic concentration for all treatments.

367

The RWPS-derived bioactive compounds were able to decreased DNA breakage under oxidative

368

stress when they were both absent (O-RWPS) and present (O+RWPS) in the medium during the

369

oxidative insult. As expected, the presence of the fractions during the oxidation increased their ACS Paragon Plus Environment

370

capacity to protect DNA, showing that the extent of this increase was rather similar for most of the

371

treatments. Indirect antioxidant mechanisms leading to these anti-genotoxic effects may be

372

mediated by the RWPS-derived bioactive compounds up-taken by the cells 28,48 and also by those in

373

contact with the colonocytes. Both polyphenols from grapes and wine 13,14,39,49 and certain SCFAs

374

such as butyrate and propionate 25,50,51 have previously demonstrated their ability to inhibit cellular

375

processes associated with genotoxic events in colorectal cancer through a broad spectrum of

376

indirect mechanisms that involve the modulation of several signaling pathways. On the other hand,

377

phenolic compounds retained within cells and those present in the medium in the O+RWPS

378

experience may also exhibit direct antioxidant activities that help to decrease RONS levels and

379

contribute to reduce oxidative DNA damage in colon cells.52

380

The anti-genotoxic action of Sk-S preceding digestion, which was the highest between the RWPSs

381

in both experiences, was not altered by the digestion, which agrees with previous studies using

382

digested and fermented anthocyanin-rich extracts from different berries, also in HT-29 cells.47 On

383

the other hand, a progressive higher anti-genotoxic potential was observed for Sd-S with the

384

advance of the digestive process, which was parallel to the increased release/generation of phenolic

385

acids in this RWPS. These results support the great contribution of phenolic compounds to the

386

potential anti-genotoxicity of Sd-S, which is in accordance with the high genoprotective effects

387

reported for gallic acid by other authors.53 With regard to W-S, certain synergisms may occur

388

before digestion between its compounds, derived from both grape skins and seeds,20,54 but these

389

synergistic interactions might be lost, or at least not so noticeable, after the digestive process.

390

Taken together, our data suggest the chemopreventive properties of seasonings directly obtained

391

from winemaking residues against colorectal cancer. Dose-dependent anti-proliferative effects in

392

cancerous colon cells for all the seasonings tested and their respective digested fractions, which

393

might help to attenuate cancer progression, as well as anti-genotoxic effects in their presence or

394

their absence during an oxidative insult, which could prevent mutagenesis and block tumor

395

initiation and advance, were detected.

396

The seasoning derived from seedless wine pomace (Sk-S) was the most effective prior digestion,

397

but the seasonings containing wine pomace seeds (Sd-S and W-S) were more susceptible to

398

increase their chemopreventive capacity during digestion, with all of the seasonings tested showing

399

similar effects once in the colon.

400

Finally, it should be noted that the potential suppressing and blocking activities against colorectal

401

cancer demonstrated in vitro (HT-29 cells) in this study should be further assessed in other cell lines

402

and in vivo to confirm the interest of these seasonings as primary and secondary chemopreventive

403

agents in colorectal cancer. However, these dual protective role of the RWPSs, along with the

404

synergistic or antagonistic effects that chemoprevention might have with other chemotherapies,

405

must be taking into account when designing strategies with therapeutic purposes.
