1. Yoshinori Fujimura, Motofumi Kumazoe, Hirofumi Tachibana, 67-kDa Laminin Receptor-Mediated Cellular Sensing System of Green Tea Polyphenol EGCG and Functional Food Pairing., Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 10.3390/molecules27165130, Vol.27, No.16, p.5130, 2022.08, The body is equipped with a "food factor-sensing system" that senses food factors, such as polyphenols, sulfur-containing compounds, and vitamins, taken into the body, and plays an essential role in manifesting their physiological effects. For example, (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG), the representative catechin in green tea (Camellia sinensi L.), exerts various effects, including anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-allergic effects, when sensed by the cell surficial protein 67-kDa laminin receptor (67LR). Here, we focus on three representative effects of EGCG and provide their specific signaling mechanisms, the 67LR-mediated EGCG-sensing systems. Various components present in foods, such as eriodictyol, hesperetin, sulfide, vitamin A, and fatty acids, have been found to act on the food factor-sensing system and affect the functionality of other foods/food factors, such as green tea extract, EGCG, or its O-methylated derivative at different experimental levels, i.e., in vitro, animal models, and/or clinical trials. These phenomena are observed by increasing or decreasing the activity or expression of EGCG-sensing-related molecules. Such functional interaction between food factors is called "functional food pairing". In this review, we introduce examples of functional food pairings using EGCG..

Yoshinori Fujimura, Hirofumi Tachibana, Metabolomics of Green Tea, Genomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics in Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods: Second Edition, 10.1002/9781118930458.ch31, pp.397-406, 2015.10, Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) is a popular beverage worldwide, and because of its possible health effects, it has received considerable attention as a medicinal herb. Unfermented green tea constituents show various biological and pharmacological activities. Recently, metabolomic approaches to study the functionality and quality of tea are becoming more common place. One such metabolomic approach, metabolic profiling, can provide information on the relationships between the metabolome and factors such as phenotype or quality. Mass spectrometry (MS) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy combined with multivariate statistical analyses are employed for tea metabolomic studies. The highlighted topics are divided into three sections: (1) tea chemical composition, (2) metabolic responses to tea consumption, and (3) biotransformation of dietary tea components. In this chapter, we describe the latest metabolomic techniques applicable to new avenues of tea research..

52. Yasutaka Ikeda, Akira Murakami, Yoshinori Fujimura, Hirofumi Tachibana, Koji Yamada, Daisaku Masuda, Ken Ichi Hirano, Shizuya Yamashita, Hajime Ohigashi, Hajime Ohigashi, Aggregated ursolic acid, a natural triterpenoid, induces IL-1β release from murine peritoneal macrophages: Role of CD36, Journal of Immunology, Vol.178, No.8, pp.4854-4864, 2007.04, IL-1β has been shown to play a pivotal role in the development of inflammatory disorders. We recently found that a natural triterpene, ursolic acid (UA), enhanced MIF release from nonstimulated macrophages. In this study, we examined the effects of UA on the production of several cytokines in resident marine peritoneal macrophages (pMφ). UA increased the protein release of IL-1β, IL-6, and MIF, but not of TNF-α, in dose- and time-dependent manners. This triterpene also strikingly induced the activation of p38 MAPK and ERK1/2 together with that of upstream kinases. The release of UA-induced IL-1β was significantly inhibited by the inhibitors of p38 MAPK, MEK1/2, ATP-binding cassette transporter, and caspase-1. Furthermore, UA induced intracellular ROS generation for IL-1β production, which was suppressed by an antioxidant. Pretreatment with an anti-CD36 Ab significantly suppressed IL-1β release, and surface plasmon resonance assay results showed that UA bound to CD36 on macrophages. In addition, the amount of IL-1β released from UA-treated pMφ of CD36-deficient mice was markedly lower than that from those of wild-type mice. Interestingly, UA was found to aggregate in culture medium, and the aggregates were suggested to be responsible for IL-1β production. In addition, i.p. administration of UA increased the levels of IL-1β secretion and MPO activity in colonic mucosa of ICR mice. Taken together, our results indicate that aggregated UA is recognized, in part, by CD36 on macrophages for generating ROS, thereby activating p38 MAPK, ERK1/2, and caspase-1, as well as releasing IL-1β protein via the ATP-binding cassette transporter.

H Tachibana, K Koga, Y Fujimura, K Yamada, A receptor for green tea polyphenol EGCG, NATURE STRUCTURAL & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, 10.1038/nsmb743, Vol.11, No.4, pp.380-381, 2004.04, The major polyphenol in green tea, (-) - epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), has been shown to prevent carcinogenesis. We have identified a receptor that mediates the anticancer activity of EGCG. Expression of the metastasis-associated 67-kDa laminin receptor confers EGCG responsiveness to cancer cells at physiologically relevant concentrations. Experiments using surface plasmon resonance demonstrate binding of EGCG to the 67-kDa laminin receptor with a nanomolar K-d value..

Yoshinori Fujimura, Hirofumi Tachibana, Mari Maeda-Yamamoto, Toshio Miyase, Mitsuaki Sano, Koji Yamada, Antiallergic tea catechin, (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-(3-O-methyl)-gallate, suppresses FcεRl expression in human basophilic KU812 cells, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 10.1021/jf025680z, Vol.50, No.20, pp.5729-5734, 2002.09, We previously found that the O-methylated derivative of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCg), (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-(3-O-methyl)-gallate (EGCG″3Me), has potent antiallergic activity. The high-affinity IgE receptor, FcεRI, is found at high levels on basophils and mast cells and plays a key role in a series of acute and chronic human allergic reactions. To understand the mechanism of action for the antiallergic EGCG″3Me, the effect of EGCG″3Me on the cell surface expression of FcεRI in human basophilic KU812 cells was examined. Flow cytometric analysis showed that EGCG″3Me was able to decrease the cell surface expression of FcεRI. Moreover, immunoblot analysis revealed that total cellular expression of the FcεRI α chain decreased upon treatment with EGCG″3Me. FcεRI is a tetrameric structure comprising one α chain, one β chain, and two γ chains. The level of mRNA production of each subunit in KU812 cells was investigated. EGCG″3Me reduced FcεRI α and γ mRNA levels. The cross-linkage of FcεRI causes the activation of basophils, which leads to the secretion of inflammatory mediators including histamine. EGCG″3Me treatment inhibited the FcεRI cross-linking-induced histamine release. These results suggested that EGCGε3Me can negatively regulate basophil activation through the suppression of FcεRI expression..
57. Y Fujimura, H Tachibana, N Eto, K Yamada, Antigen binding of an ovomucoid-specific antibody is affected by a carbohydrate chain located on the light chain variable region, BIOSCIENCE BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY, 10.1271/bbb.64.2298, Vol.64, No.11, pp.2298-2305, 2000.11, We cloned the variable regions of heavy and light chain genes of an anti-ovomucoid monoclonal antibody (MAb-OM21) produced by the mouse hybridoma cell line OM21. DNA sequence analysis showed that the light chain of the MAb-OM21 has only one potential N-glycosylation consensus sequence in the complementarity determining region 2 of the light chain. To find whether carbohydrate chains are located on the light chain, we assayed for the size of the light chain, after treatment with N-glycosidase, by western blotting, and also detection of the carbohydrate chains on the light chain was done using the lectin blot assay. A N-linked carbohydrate chain has been shown to bind to the light chain. To clarify the role of this carbohydrate chain in the light chain, we produced carbohydrate variant antibodies by N-deglycosylation using glycosidase or by expressing the antibody from different host cells. The N-deglycosylated variant antibody has greater antigen binding, and the antibody produced from the different host cells showed a reduced antigen binding activity and acquired the ability to react to ovalbumin. These results suggest that antigen binding of the ovomucoid specific antibody MAb-OM21 can be affected by the carbohydrate chain on the light chain variable region..
