Article Abstract
10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA) is an important component of royal jelly, known for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, blood pressure-lowering, and antiradiation effects. Currently, 10-HDA biosynthesis is limited by the substrate selectivity of acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase, which restricts the technique to a two-step process. This study aimed to develop an efficient and simplified method for synthesizing 10-HDA. In this study, ACOX from 1798, which catalyzes 10-hydroxydecanoyl coenzyme A desaturation for 10-HDA synthesis, was isolated and heterologously coexpressed with FadE, Macs, YdiI, and CYP in /SK after knocking out FadB, FadJ, and FadR genes. The engineered /AKS strain achieved a 49.8% conversion of decanoic acid to 10-HDA. CYP expression was improved through ultraviolet mutagenesis and high-throughput screening, increased substrate conversion to 75.6%, and the synthesis of 10-HDA was increased to 0.628 g/L in 10 h. This is the highest conversion rate and product concentration achieved in the shortest time to date. This study provides a simple and efficient method for 10-HDA biosynthesis and offers an effective method for developing strains with high product yields.

Royal jelly (RJ), secreted by honeybees, contains major fatty acids such as 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10H2DA) and 10-hydroxydecanoic acid (10HDAA), which are considered to contribute to bone metabolism. However, these fatty acids are rapidly metabolized in the liver following ingestion, resulting in 2-decenoic acid (2DA) and sebacic acid (SA), respectively. Therefore, elucidating the roles of these metabolites in bone metabolism is of considerable importance.

Royal jelly (RJ), a nutrient-rich secretion fed exclusively to queen honeybees, exhibits diverse biological activities. Due to limited insights into its effects on central nervous system (CNS)-related functions and pathologies, this review attempts to recapitalize the recent advances of neuroregulatory function of RJ in mammals and humans. Another central aim of this review is to summarize the known mechanisms underlying the neuroregulatory effect of RJ.

Since ancient times, Royal Jelly (RJ) has been known for its remarkable properties in traditional medicine, and it is still widely recommended for mental and physical well-being. RJ consists of a unique and complex mixture of multiple constituents in different concentrations, and some of its biological activities are directly associated with specific components not found elsewhere in nature, such as ()-10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA) and its precursor 10-hydroxydecanoic acid (10-HDAA), two medium-chain fatty acids. Together, 10-HAD and 10-HDAA represent the major constituents of the total lipid fraction in RJ, but despite their structural similarity, the former has been extensively investigated over the years, while the latter has been only marginally reported.

Background: Royal jelly (RJ) has traditionally been used to maintain health, and its fatty acids (10-hydroxy decanoic acid and 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid) are reported to have immunomodulatory effects. We recently developed fermented RJ (fRJ) by fermenting RJ with honeybee queen (Apis mellifera)-derived lactic acid bacterium, Lactobacillus panisapium M1. fRJ increased the 10-hydroxy decanoic acid content five-fold and facilitated macrophage phagocytosis.

10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA), a major fatty acid (FA) component of royal jelly, is synthesized in the mandibular glands (MGs) of worker honeybees. Despite its well-documented nutritional and therapeutic significance, the biosynthetic pathway and regulatory mechanisms of 10-HDA production remain largely unresolved. In this study, the molecular basis of 10-HDA biosynthesis and regulation in the MGs of newly emerged bees (NEBs), nurse bees (NBs), and forager bees (FBs) were investigated using RNA sequencing and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA).
