Biological Activity
Description: Baccatin III, which is the precursor for the semisynthesis of paclitaxel,exerts anti-tumor immunomodulatory activity in very low doses (0.05-0.5mg/kg),it reduces tumor progression by inhibiting the accumulation and suppressive function of MDSCs. Baccatin III also exerts immunomodulatory activities in vivo as well as in vitro on the MHC-restricted antigen presentation.
Targets: Caspase | Bcl-2/Bax
In vitro:

Baccatin III, a precursor for the semisynthesis of paclitaxel, inhibits the accumulation and suppressive activity of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in tumor-bearing mice.[Pubmed: 24957690]
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) mediate tumor-associated immune suppression in both cancer patients and tumor-bearing animals. Reduction or elimination of MDSCs reduces the rate of tumor progression and improves cancer therapies that employ mechanisms of immunity.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Here we show that Baccatin III, which is the precursor for the semisynthesis of paclitaxel, exerts anti-tumor immunomodulatory activity in very low doses (0.05-0.5mg/kg), although it is regarded as an inactive derivative of paclitaxel. Oral administration of Baccatin III significantly reduced the growth of tumors induced by engrafting BALB/c mice with either 4 T1 mammary carcinoma or CT26 colon cancer cells. Baccatin III (0.5mg/kg) did not exert anti-tumor activity in athymic nude mice. Baccatin III decreased the accumulation of MDSCs in the spleens of the tumor-bearing mice. Furthermore, MDSCs isolated from Baccatin III-treated mice, compared with those isolated from vehicle-treated mice, had a significantly reduced suppressive effect on T cells treated with the anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 monoclonal antibodies. Moreover, these cells produced significantly reduced amounts of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide.
CONCLUSIONS:
These results suggest that Baccatin III reduced tumor progression by inhibiting the accumulation and suppressive function of MDSCs.

Baccatin III, a synthetic precursor of taxol, enhances MHC-restricted antigen presentation in dendritic cells.[Pubmed: 21354357]
Baccatin III, a precursor for the semisynthesis of taxol, is widely considered to be an inactive derivative of taxol. Here we show that Baccatin III efficiently enhances MHC-restricted antigen presentation in dendritic cells.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Baccatin III increased both class I- and class II-restricted presentation of exogenous OVA in bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BM-DCs). Baccatin III also increased class I-restricted presentation of virus-encoded endogenous OVA in BM-DCs. Baccatin III did not affect the phagocytic activity of BM-DCs. The antigen presentation-enhancing activity of Baccatin III was examined further with nanoparticles containing OVA and Baccatin III. Inclusion of Baccatin III to nanoparticles containing OVA greatly enhanced their capacity to induce class I-restricted OVA peptide presentation in DCs both in vitro and in vivo. Accordingly, nanoparticles containing both OVA and Baccatin III were much more efficient in inducing an OVA-specific CTL response in mice compared to those containing OVA only.
CONCLUSIONS:
These results demonstrate that Baccatin III exerts immunomodulatory activities in vivo as well as in vitro on the MHC-restricted antigen presentation.

Inhibition of cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis-inducing activity of fungal taxol and its precursor baccatin III purified from endophytic Fusarium solani.[Pubmed: 24152585 ]
Taxol (generic name paclitaxel), a plant-derived antineoplastic agent, used widely against breast, ovarian and lung cancer, was originally isolated from the bark of the Pacific yew, Taxus brevifolia. The limited supply of the drug has prompted efforts to find alternative sources, such as chemical synthesis, tissue and cell cultures of the Taxus species both of which are expensive and yield low levels. Fermentation processes with microorganisms would be the methods of choice to lower the costs and increase yields. Previously we have reported that F. solani isolated from T. celebica produced taxol and its precursor Baccatin III in liquid grown cultures J Biosci 33:259-67, 2008. This study was performed to evaluate the inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis of cancer cell lines by the fungal taxol and fungal Baccatin III of F. solani isolated from T. celebica.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Cell lines such as HeLa, HepG2, Jurkat, Ovcar3 and T47D were cultured individually and treated with fungal taxol, Baccatin III with or without caspase inhibitors according to experimental requirements. Their efficacy on apoptotic induction was examined. Both fungal taxol and Baccatin III inhibited cell proliferation of a number of cancer cell lines with IC50 ranging from 0.005 to 0.2 μM for fungal taxol and 2 to 5 μM for fungal Baccatin III. They also induced apoptosis in JR4-Jurkat cells with a possible involvement of anti-apoptotic Bcl2 and loss in mitochondrial membrane potential, and was unaffected by inhibitors of caspase-9,-2 or -3 but was prevented in presence of caspase-10 inhibitor. DNA fragmentation was also observed in cells treated with fungal taxol and Baccatin III.
CONCLUSIONS:
The cytotoxic activity exhibited by fungal taxol and Baccatin III involves the same mechanism, dependent on caspase-10 and membrane potential loss of mitochondria, with taxol having far greater cytotoxic potential.

Bioproduction of baccatin III, an advanced precursor of paclitaxol, with transgenic Flammulina velutipes expressing the 10-deacetylbaccatin III-10-O-acetyl transferase gene.[Pubmed: 24403190]
10-DeacetylBaccatin III (10-DAB) and Baccatin III are intermediates in the biosynthesis of Taxol (an anti-cancer drug) and useful precursors for semi-synthesis of the drug.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
In this study, a bioconversion system was established for the production of Baccatin III, an advanced precursor of paclitaxel, in the transgenic mushroom Flammulina velutipes expressing the 10-deacetylBaccatin III-10β-O-acetyltransferase gene. The expression vector pgFvs-TcDBAT containing the 10-deacetylBaccatin III-10β-O-acetyltransferase (DBAT) gene was constructed and transformed into the cells of F. velutipes by polyethylene glycol-mediated protoplast transformation. Polymerase chain reaction and Southern blotting analysis verified the successful integration of the exogenous DBAT gene into the genome of F. velutipes. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and enzyme activity analyses confirmed that the DBAT gene was expressed in F. velutipes, and DBAT is able to convert substrate into Baccatin III.
CONCLUSIONS:
The DBAT gene from the plant Taxus chinensis can be functionally expressed in F. velutipes. Transgenic F. velutipes expressing the DBAT gene is able to produce the target product, Baccatin III. This is the first report about the transformation and expression of paclitaxel biosynthetic gene in the edible mushroom F. velutipes. This represents a significant step towards bio-production of paclitaxel and its advanced precursor Baccatin III in an edible fungus.
