Description of Stachyose

Stachyose is an oligosaccharide and prebiotic[1]. Stachyose also serves as a specific inhibitor of PRDX5 (peroxiredoxin 5), acts directly on the PRDX5 protein, and inhibits its enzymatic activity[2]. Stachyose is commonly used in research on castration-resistant prostate cancer and metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes[3][4].

In vitro, Stachyose (0.4-3.2mg/mL in medium; 24h) dose-dependently inhibited Caco-2 colon cancer cells proliferation, induced cells apoptosis, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, upregulated Bax, downregulated Bcl-2, promoted cytochrome C release, and activated caspases 3/9[5].

In vivo, Stachyose (200-600mg/kg/day; oral gavage for 3 weeks) dose-dependently alleviated DSS-induced colitis symptoms, increased tight junction protein expression (Occludin, Claudin-1, ZO-1), decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6), increased anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, and restored Treg/Th17 cell balance in a DSS-induced colitis mouse model[6]. Stachyose (1 or 5g/kg/day; oral gavage for 3 days) reduced myocardial infarction area and improved cardiac function in a mouse model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury[7].

Protocol of Stachyose

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Caco-2 cells

Preparation Method

Caco-2 cells from passages 30 to 50 were used in this experiment. After reaching subconfluence, Caco-2 cells were recovered from the culture flask through 0.25% trypsin digestion after washing twice with PBS. The medium was changed every 2d. Cell counts based on conductivity measurements and cell viability were assessed using the trypan blue test. To evaluate the cytotoxic effect of Stachyose, cells in the log phase were seeded in 96-well cell culture plates (104 cells per well) and pre-incubated for 24h. The cells were then treated with Serum free medium (SFM) mixed with different Stachyose concentrations (0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.6, 3.2mg/mL) for 24h. The MTT assay was used to measure cell viability according to the commercially available protocol. Flow cytometry analysis for cell apoptosis was performed by using an annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)/propidium iodide (PI) apoptosis detection kit.

Reaction Conditions

0.4-3.2mg/mL; 24h

Applications

Stachyose dose-dependently inhibited Caco-2 colon cancer cells proliferation and induced cells apoptosis.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Male C57BL/6J mice

Preparation Method

Male C57BL/6J mice, aged 6 weeks were housed in a controlled environment with regulated humidity and temperature, and were provided free access to standard chow and clean water on a 12-h light-dark cycle. After one week acclimatization, the effects of Stachyose on a mouse model of MIRI were evaluated. Stachyose (1 or 5g/kg/day) was administered via gavage for three consecutive days before sham or MIRI surgery. The MIRI model was established under clean and standardized conditions. Echocardiography was performed using the Vevo 3100LT ultrasound cardiography system. After the echocardiography was completed, the mice were euthanized by cervical dislocation, the chest skin and ribs were incised, and the apex of the heart was rinsed with physiological saline. The hearts were then removed and frozen at -20℃ for 20min. Once the hearts were fully frozen, it was dissected using a surgical tool. The hearts were then soaked in 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC dye) at 37℃ for 30min. The necrotic area appeared white, while the viable myocardium was red. After being incubated in 4% paraformaldehyde for 24h, the heart was photographed against a white background.

Dosage form

1 or 5g/kg/day; oral gavage for 3 days

Applications

Stachyose reduced myocardial infarction area and improved cardiac function in a mouse model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.
