Description of Xanthohumol

Xanthohumol is the main prenylflavonoid in hops that inhibits diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) with IC50 value of 50.3μM[1]. Xanthohumol has been associated with a wide range of health benefits, due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and cancer-preventive properties[2].

In vitro, Xanthohumol (0, 5, 10 and 20µM) treated human colon carcinoma HT-29 cells for 24h caused a dramatic decrease in cells viability and arrest of the cancer cells at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle with IC50 value of 10μM[3]. Xanthohumol treatment (5 to 20μM) on human umbilical vein endothelial (HUVE) cells for 24 or 48 hours exerted anti-angiogenic effect, led to increased AMPK phosphorylation and activity and also reduced nitric oxide (NO) levels in endothelial cells by decreasing eNOS phosphorylation[4]. Xanthohumol (1.5, 3, and 6μg/mL) incubated human whole blood or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for 15min at 37°C before treated with adenosine 5’-diphosphate (ADP) significantly attenuated ADP-induced blood platelet aggregation[5].

In vivo, Xanthohumol (10, 25, 50mg/kg) intraperitoneally injected into ovariectomy mice every 2 days for 12 weeks relieved cognitive impairment of ovariectomy mice by suppressing miRNA-532-3p and increased the downstream gene of miRNA-532-3p, Mpped1, in hippocampus[6]. Xanthohumol (10mg/kg) treated human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) A549 or H358 cells engrafted athymic nude mice every two days via intraperitoneal injection suppressed NSCLC xenograft tumor growth, increased the expression of pro-apoptotic protein PUMA in tumor tissues and downregulated the expression level of Ki67, a proliferation marker of cancer cells[7].

Protocol of Xanthohumol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Human umbilical vein endothelial (HUVE) cells

Preparation Method

Human umbilical vein endothelial (HUVE) cells were treated either with Xanthohumol or epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in a concentration range from 5 to 20μM, for 24 or 48 hours.

Reaction Conditions

5 to 20μM; 24 or 48h

Applications

The anti-angiogenic activity of Xanthohumol was more potent than EGCG. Treatment of endothelial cells with Xanthohumol led to increased AMPK phosphorylation and activity. Xanthohumol-induced AMPK activation reduced nitric oxide (NO) levels in endothelial cells by decreasing eNOS phosphorylation.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

C57BL/6 J female mice

Preparation Method

C57BL/6 J female mice (8–10 weeks old) were randomly divided into 5 groups: a sham-operated group, a saline-treated ovariectomized (OVX) group (vehicle model control), a Xanthohumol 10mg/kg + OVX group, a Xanthohumol 25mg/kg + OVX group, and a Xanthohumol 50mg/kg + OVX group. The mice in the Xanthohumol group were injected intraperitoneally with Xanthohumol every 2 days for 12 weeks.

Dosage form

10, 25, 50mg/kg; i.p.; every 2 days for 12 weeks

Applications

Increased miRNA-532-3p in ovariectomy mice was suppressed by Xanthohumol treatment. The downstream gene of miRNA-532-3p, Mpped1, was also increased by Xanthohumol and showed the capability of relieving cognitive impairment of ovariectomy mice after overexpressed in hippocampus.
