ln Vitro |
In worms with limited lifespans, 2,3-dehydrosilybin A (DHS A) may be able to prolong their life expectancy. Human and nematode cells are more resistant when 2,3-dehydrosilybin A (DHS A) is present. In both humans and nematodes, 2,3-dehydrosilybin A decreases the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The way 2,3-dehydrosilybin A affects C. elegans is dependent on the pathways DAF-16 and FGT-1.

ln Vivo |
Aging is an unavoidable process characterized by gradual failure of homeostasis that constitutes a critical risk factor for several age-related disorders. It has been unveiled that manipulation of various key pathways may decelerate the aging progression and the triggering of age-related diseases. As a consequence, the identification of compounds, preferably natural-occurring, administered through diet, with lifespan-extending, anti-aggregation and anti-oxidation properties that in parallel exhibit negligible side-effects is the main goal in the battle against aging. Here we analyze the role of 2,3-dehydrosilybin A/B (DHS A/B), a minor component of silymarin used in a plethora of dietary supplements. This flavonolignan is well-known for its anti-oxidative and neuroprotective properties, among others. We demonstrate that DHS A/B confers oxidative stress resistance not only in human primary cells but also in the context of a multi-cellular aging model, namely Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) where it also promotes lifespan extension. We reveal that these DHS A/B outcomes are FGT-1 and DAF-16 dependent. We additionally demonstrate the anti-aggregation properties of DHS A/B in human cells of nervous origin but also in nematode models of Alzheimer's disease (AD), eventually leading to decelerated progression of AD phenotype. Our results identify DHS A/B as the active component of silymarin extract and propose DHS A/B as a candidate anti-aging and anti-aggregation compound. [1]

Animal Protocol |
DHS A/B promotes lifespan extension in C. elegans [1]
We initially investigated whether our silymarin preparations promote lifespan extension in wt C. elegans. Significant dose-dependent lifespan extension was scored with the most effective concentration being 50 μΜ (as the sum of flavonolignans; Fig. 1A). We then dissected silymarin into its main constituents to reveal which one is mainly responsible for this lifespan-extending effect. Lifespan assays with silybin A/B, silychristin A/B, silydianin, isosilybin Α and DHS A/B at the same... |

Additional Infomation |
2,3-Dehydrosilybin is a flavonolignan.
2,3-Dehydrosilybin has been reported in Silybum marianum with data available. The major active component of silymarin flavonoids extracted from seeds of the MILK THISTLE, Silybum marianum; it is used in the treatment of HEPATITIS; LIVER CIRRHOSIS; and CHEMICAL AND DRUG INDUCED LIVER INJURY, and has antineoplastic activity; silybins A and B are diastereomers. See also: 2,3-Dehydrosilybin (annotation moved to). In most of the reported studies, the responsible active compound (if any) of silymarin is not specified while many controversies appear due to the variable compositions of silymarin preparations in the absence of standardization or analysis [19]. Therefore, the positive effects are usually attributed in general to the silymarin extract. In this study, we performed a detailed analysis of almost all components of silymarin with regard to their potential anti-aging properties using C. elegans as a model and we reveal the crucial role of DHS A/B. Given that aging is the main risk factor for age- and aggregation-related diseases, we have also investigated the potential positive effects of DHS A/B on the onset and progression of AD, an aggregation-related disorder. Our results demonstrate the potential use of DHS A/B as a pro-longevity and anti-aggregation nutraceutical.[1] |
