Inhibitory Effect of Tannin in Green Tea on the Proliferation of Mesangial Cells

Abstract: The effect of green tea tannin on the proliferation of mesangial cells was determined in terms of [3H]thymidine uptake. When green tea tannin was added to the medium of mesangial cell cultures, it suppressed the proliferation of mesangial cells markedly. In particular, (-)-epigallocatechin 3-O-gallate, the predominant component of the green tea tannin mixture, exerted an inhibitory effect at a relatively low concentration, suggesting a direct corroboration of the renal effects.

“…Furthermore, some plant foods have advantageous properties, apparently unrelated to macronutrient composition. For example, polyphenolics extracted from tea inhibited mesangial proliferation (19) and significantly prolonged renal survival in experimental models of glomerulosclerosis (20). Third, iron was an important factor in the progression of experimental nephropathy after the initial offending agent was removed (21).…”

“…Catechin analogues such as (-)-epicatechin 3-O-gallate (ECG) and EGCG, are known to have many physiological effects, such as antitumor (Morré et al, Suganuma et al, 1999) and radioprotective (Uchida et al, 1992) activities and to exert suppressive effects on renal et al, 1997). It is also apparent that ECG and EGCG inhibit the proliferation of mesangial cells (Yokozawa et al, 1993a(Yokozawa et al, , 1993b. In addition, EGCG inhibits the growth of OK cells, mostly via apoptosis (Miyamoto et al, 2003).…”

“…However, there is no information about how the inhibition of NOX activity may induce apoptosis, although it is known that prolonged inhibition of the NOX form associated with tumor cell lines induces apoptosis. On the other hand, EGCG also has inhibitory effects on the proliferation of mouse (Yokozawa et al, 1993a) and human (Yokozawa et al, 1993b) mesangial cells. These cells, whose plasma membranes may contain NOX, are not tumor cell lines, but have been transformed to become proliferating cell lines, except for opossum kidney proximal tubular (OK) cells (Miyamoto et al, 2003).…”

“…These activities may be relevant to cancer prevention in experimental regimens where tea polyphenols are provided after a carcinogen. The ability of polyphenols to inhibit mitogenic signaling in vivo is supported by in vitro studies demonstrating antiproliferative effects of EGCG on numerous cell lines [24,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. However, mechanisms by which EGCG inhibits proliferation have not been…”
