Description

Application

β-D-Allose (β-D-Allose), a rare sugar member of the aldohexose family and a C3 epimer of glucose, is used as an inhibitor of fruiting body formation and sporulation in Myxococcus xanthus.

Biochem/physiol Actions

D-Allose is a rare aldohexose sugar that has demonstrated anti-cancer, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, antihypertensive, cryoprotective, and immunosuppressant activities.[1] D-Allose upregulates thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) gene expression and was found to induce G1 cell cycle arrest in hepatocellular carcinoma cells.[2] It inhibited transcriptional activity of the activator protein 1, nuclear factor-κB, and nuclear factor of activated T cells.[3] D-Allose decreases transport of 2-deoxy-D-glucose and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose in V79 Chinese hamster lung fibroblast cells.[4]

Characterization of the D-allose-mediated regulation of sugar transport in Chinese hamster fibroblasts.

R J Germinario et al.

Journal of cellular physiology, 145(2), 318-323 (1990-11-01)

Exposure to D-allose has been demonstrated to lead to decreased 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) and 3-0-methyl-D-glucose transport in the V79 Chinese hamster lung fibroblast cell line. The effect of D-allose 1) was maximal after 4 hours exposure to the cells; 2) was

Rare sugar D-allose induces specific up-regulation of TXNIP and subsequent G1 cell cycle arrest in hepatocellular carcinoma cells by stabilization of p27kip1.

'Rare sugars' are defined as monosaccharides that exist in nature but are only present in limited quantities. The development of mass production method of rare sugars revealed some interesting physiological effects of these on animal cells, but the mechanisms have

Rare sugar D-allose strongly induces thioredoxin-interacting protein and inhibits osteoclast differentiation in Raw264 cells.

Kana Yamada et al.

Nutrition research (New York, N.Y.), 32(2), 116-123 (2012-02-22)

Oxidative stress modulates the osteoclast differentiation via redox systems, and thioredoxin 1 (Trx) promotes the osteoclast formation by regulating the activity of transcription factors. The function of Trx is known to be regulated by its binding partner, thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP).
