Pancreatic cancer studies have shown that inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) leads to decreased cancer cell proliferation and survival by abrogating nuclear factor κB (NFκB) activity. In this investigation, various citrus compounds, including flavonoids, phenolic acids, and limonoids, were individually investigated for their inhibitory effects on GSK-3β by using a luminescence assay. Of the 22 citrus compounds tested, the flavonoids luteolin, apigenin, and quercetin had the highest inhibitory effects on GSK-3β, with 50% inhibitory values of 1.5, 1.9, and 2.0 μM, respectively. Molecular dockings were then performed to determine the potential interactions of each citrus flavonoid with GSK-3β. Luteolin, apigenin, and quercetin were predicted to fit within the binding pocket of GSK-3β with low interaction energies (−76.4, −76.1, and −84.6 kcal·mol^(−1), respectively) and low complex energies (−718.1, −688.1, and −719.7 kcal·mol^(−1), respectively). Our results indicate that several citrus flavonoids inhibit GSK-3β activity and suggest that these have potential to suppress the growth of pancreatic tumors.

Increased adiposity has been associated with macrophage infiltration into the adipose tissue which, in turn, leads to obesity comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of anthocyanin (ANC)-enriched fractions from blackberry–blueberry beverages on inflammation and adipogenesis in an in vitro model of inflammation mimicking the pathologic interaction between adipocytes and macrophages. Blend ANCs inhibited secretion of nitric oxide (17.5%), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) (89.4%), and phosphorylated-p65 nuclear factor kappa-B (52.1%) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 macrophages after 24 h. Blends reduced intracellular fat accumulation (28.2%) when applied during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation and inhibited isoproterenol-induced lipolysis (18.6%) of mature 3T3-L1 cells. In addition, blend ANCs restored adiponectin-blunted gene expression induced by the TNF-α treatment (18.2%) and reduced the glycerol release (15.9%) induced by LPS-induced macrophage-conditioned media (CM) in adipocytes. Furthermore, blends slightly restored the insulin-induced glucose uptake of adipocytes, blunted by the CM treatment. In conclusion, ANCs from blueberry and blackberry dealcoholized fermented beverages are potential inhibitors of inflammationrelated adiposity response and sensitizers of insulin signaling in adipocytes.
