[Advances in the biosynthesis and application of Bixin]
Sheng Wu Gong Cheng Xue Bao 2021 Jun 25;37(6):1986-1997.PMID:34227289DOI:10.13345/j.cjb.200724.
Since synthetic pigments are potentially harmful to human health, natural ones such as Bixin, one of the carotenoids, are favored. As the second widely used natural pigment in the world, there is significant interest in the biosynthetic pathway of Bixin which has not been fully elucidated. This review summarizes the chemical properties, extraction methods, biosynthetic pathway and application of Bixin. In addition, we compared the difference between traditional extraction methods and new extraction techniques. Moreover, we described the genes involved in the biosynthetic pathway of Bixin and the effects of abiotic stress on the biosynthesis of Bixin, and discussed the application of Bixin in food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. However, the researches on Bixin biosynthesis pathway are mostly carried out at the transcriptome level and most of the gene functions have not been elucidated. Therefore, we propose to characterize the entire Bixin biosynthetic pathway using techniques of genomics, bioinformatics, and phytochemistry. This will help facilitate the synthetic biology research of Bixin and development of Bixin into new drugs.
Bixin-loaded colloidal nanodelivery systems, techniques and applications
Food Chem 2023 Jun 30;412:135479.PMID:36709686DOI:10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.135479.
Bixin is the cis-carotenoid from the seed of achiote tree or annatto. It is an approved liposoluble apocarotenoid by FDA as colorant and additive in the food industry. Nonetheless, Bixin is unstable in the presence of oxygen, light, high pHs (alkali) and heat; thereby reducing its bioavailability/bioactivity, and also, with a low solubility in water. Some biopolymeric (e.g., nanofibers, nanogels, and nanotubes) and lipid-based nanocarriers (nanoliposomes, niosomes, hexosomes, nanoemulsions, solid-lipid nanoparticles, and nanostructured lipid carriers) have been introduced for Bixin. Thus, this review focuses on the updated information regarding bixin-loaded nanodelivery platforms. Moreover, it provides a comprehensive review of bioavailability, physicochemical properties, and applications of nanoencapsulated-bixin as an additive, its release rate and safety issues. These findings will bring potential strategies for the usage of nanocarriers in managing Bixin defaults to improve its broad application in various industries.
Bixin Prevents Colorectal Cancer Development through AMPK-Activated Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress
Biomed Res Int 2022 Feb 24;2022:9329151.PMID:35252457DOI:10.1155/2022/9329151.
Chemicals isolated from natural products have been broadly applied in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Bixin, an apocarotenoid from the seeds of Bixa orellana, exerts multiple pharmacological properties, including neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, and antitumor effects; yet, the therapeutic effects of Bixin on CRC are still unknown. Here, we described that Bixin treatment significantly inhibited the proliferation and motility of two CRC cell lines (CaCO2 and SW480) in vitro and in vivo. In addition, Bixin administration has sensitized CRC cells to TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand- (TRAIL-) induced cell apoptosis. Moreover, we showed that Bixin treatment initiated the activation of PERK/eIF-2α signal in CaCO2 and SW480 cells, leading to endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated apoptosis. Pharmacological inhibition of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) abrogated the Bixin-induced activation of protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK)/eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF-2α) pathway, as well as reversed the inhibitory effects of Bixin on CRC development. In conclusion, this study indicated that Bixin treatment inhibits the progression of CRC through activating the AMPK/PERK/eIF-2α pathway, providing a novel potential strategy for clinical prevention of CRC.
Bixin protects mice against bronchial asthma though modulating PI3K/Akt pathway
Int Immunopharmacol 2021 Dec;101(Pt B):108266.PMID:34678694DOI:10.1016/j.intimp.2021.108266.
Accumulating evidence has implicated the potential of natural compounds in treatment of asthma. Bixin is a natural food coloring isolated from the seeds of Bixa Orellana, which possesses anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties. Nevertheless, its therapeutic effect in asthma has not been elucidated. Our present study demonstrated that administration of Bixin suppressed allergic airway inflammation and reversed glucocorticoids resistance, as well as alleviated airway remodeling and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in asthmatic mice. In vitro studies showed that Bixin treatment could inhibit the development of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) mediated by transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling. Importantly, Bixin antagonized activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) pathway both in vitro and in vivo. Above all, our findings reveal that Bixin functions as a potent antagonist of PI3K/Akt signaling to protect against allergic asthma, highlighting a novel strategy for asthma treatment based on natural products.
Bixin Protects Against Kidney Interstitial Fibrosis Through Promoting STAT6 Degradation
Front Cell Dev Biol 2020 Nov 17;8:576988.PMID:33313043DOI:10.3389/fcell.2020.576988.
Bixin, a natural carotenoid extracted from the seeds of Bixa orellana, has antioxidant and anti-inflammation effects. However, the pharmacological effects and underlying mechanisms of Bixin in kidney interstitial fibrosis remain unknown. Partial epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of tubular cells has been linked to renal interstitial fibrosis. Here, we found that in the unilateral ureteral obstruction model, Bixin administration could ameliorate kidney interstitial fibrosis. The expression of signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) was dramatically increased in renal tubular cells. Bixin treatment inhibited STAT6 induction. The activation of STAT6 signaling was essential for transforming growth factor β1, fibrotic markers, and EMT-related protein expression in HK2 cells, which was confirmed by using the Stat6-/- mice. Ubiquitination, but not the acetylation level of STAT6, was induced by Bixin treatment and promoted the suppression of phosphorylation and stability of STAT6. P62-dependent autophagy might be involved in this process. The study demonstrated that Bixin can be exploited therapeutically to alleviate renal interstitial fibrosis by targeting STAT6 signaling deactivation.
