A resveratrol-enriched variety of Dongjin rice (DJ526) has been developed by transfection of a resveratrol biosynthesis gene, and increased resveratrol content has been confirmed in seeds following germination.

Resveratrol and its derivative piceid exhibit a wide spectrum of health-promoting bioactivities. A resveratrol-enriched variety of Dongjin rice (DJ526) has been developed by transfection of a resveratrol biosynthesis gene, and increased resveratrol content has been confirmed in seeds following germination. In the current study, these resveratrol-enriched seeds were induced to produce callus, and callus extracts were evaluated for in vitro anti-inflammatory activity. Callus cultures contained greater amounts of resveratrol and piceid than DJ526 seeds, and treatment with DJ526 callus extract significantly reduced the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced production of proinflammatory mediators nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2 by RAW264.7 macrophages. The inflammation-related nuclear factor kappa B and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways were also inhibited in DJ526 callus extract-treated RAW264.7 cells, resulting in downregulation of proinflammatory factor genes COX-2, iNOS, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. Expression of the LPS-binding toll-like receptor-4 was also markedly reduced in DJ526 callus extract-treated cells compared to DJ callus extract-treated cells. These findings demonstrate increased resveratrol and piceid content by callus culture of DJ526 rice seeds and the potent anti-inflammatory activity of resveratrol-enriched callus extract.
