Abstract
Alcohol intake has become one of the leading risks to human health and wellness, among which acute and/or chronic alcohol-induced liver injury is a leading threaten, with few therapeutic options other than abstinence. In recent years, studies suggested that certain bioactive peptides from food sources could represent natural and safe alternatives for the prevention of alcoholic liver injury. Hence, this chapter focus on the advanced research on bioactive peptides exerting hepatoprotective activity against alcoholic liver injury. The main sources of protein, strategies for the preparation of hepatoprotective hydrolysates and peptides, underlying mechanisms of peptides on hepatoprotection, and possible structure-activity relationship between peptides and hepatoprotective activity were summarized and discussed, aiming to give a systematic insight into the research progress of hepatoprotective peptides. However, more efforts would be needed to give a clearer insight into the underlying mechanisms and structure-activity relationship before using hepatoprotective peptides as functional food ingredients or dietary supplements.

Wang Z, Li G, Liu X. Identification of Corn Peptides with Alcohol Dehydrogenase Activating Activity Absorbed by Caco-2 Cell Monolayers. Molecules 2024; 29:1523. [PMID: 38611803 PMCID: PMC11013139 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29071523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) plays a pivotal role in constraining alcohol metabolism. Assessing the ADH-activating activity in vitro can provide insight into the capacity to accelerate ethanol metabolism in vivo. In this study, ADH-activating peptides were prepared from corn protein meal (CGM) using enzymatic hydrolysis, and these peptides were subsequently identified following simulated gastrointestinal digestion and their absorption through the Caco-2 cell monolayer membrane. The current investigation revealed that corn protein hydrolysate hydrolyzed using alcalase exhibited the highest ADH activation capability, maintaining an ADH activation rate of 52.93 ± 2.07% following simulated gastrointestinal digestion in vitro. After absorption through the Caco-2 cell monolayer membrane, ADH-activating peptides were identified. Among them, SSNCQPF, TGCPVLQ, and QPQQPW were validated to possess strong ADH activation activity, with EC50 values of 1.35 ± 0.22 mM, 2.26 ± 0.16 mM, and 2.73 ± 0.13 mM, respectively. Molecular Docking revealed that the activation of ADH occurred via the formation of a stable complex between the peptide and the active center of ADH by hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. The results of this study also suggest that corn protein hydrolysate could be a novel functional dietary element that helps protects the liver from damage caused by alcohol and aids in alcohol metabolism.

Abstract
Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is a crucial rate-limiting enzyme in alcohol metabolism. Our previous research found that ethanol-induced intracellular extracts of Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis) could enhance alcohol metabolism in mice, but the responsible compounds remain unidentified. The study aimed to screen potential ADH-activating peptides from ethanol-induced L. lactis using virtual screening and molecular docking calculation. Among them, the pentapeptide FAPEG might bind to ADH through hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonds, then enhancing ADH activity. Spectroscopy analysis further investigated the peptide-enzyme interaction between FAPEG and ADH, including changes in the amino acid residue microenvironment and secondary structural alterations. Furthermore, FAPEG could protect against alcoholic liver injury (ALI) in mice by reducing blood alcohol concentration, enhancing the activity of antioxidant and alcohol metabolism enzymes, and attenuating alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity, which was related to the activation of the Nrf2/keap1/HO-1 signaling pathway. The study provided preliminary evidence that the generation of ADH-activating peptides in ethanol-induced L. lactis has the potential in preventing ALI in mice using in silico prediction and in vivo validation approaches.

Abstract
Food-derived oligopeptides (FOPs) exhibit various bioactivities. However, little was known about their sequence changes in the gastrointestinal tract and the effect of changes on bioactivities. FOPs' sequence features, changes and effects on bioactivities have been summarised. The sequence length of FOPs decreases with increased exposure of hydrophobic and basic amino acids at the terminal during simulated gastrointestinal digestion. A decrease in bioactivities after simulated intestinal absorption has correlated with a decrease of Leu, Ile, Arg, Tyr, Gln and Pro. The sequence of FOPs that pass readily through the intestinal epithelium corresponds to transport modes, and FOPs whose sequences remain unchanged after transport are the most bioactive. These include mainly dipeptides to tetrapeptides, consisting of numerous hydrophobic and basic amino acids, found mostly at the end of the peptide chain, especially at the C-terminal. This review aims to provide a foundation for applications of FOPs in nutritional supplements and functional foods.

Abstract
Bioactive peptides are widely used in functional foods due to their remarkable efficacy, selectivity, and low toxicity. However, commercially produced bioactive peptides lack quality stability between batches. Furthermore, the efficacies of bioactive peptides cannot be guaranteed in vivo due to gastrointestinal digestion and rapid plasma, liver, and kidney metabolism. The problem of poor stability has restricted the development of peptides. Bioactive peptide stability assessments use different stability assays, so the results of different studies are not always comparable. This review summarizes the quality stability challenges in the enzymatic hydrolysis production of bioactive peptides and the metabolism stability challenges after oral administration. Future directions on the strategies for improving their stability are provided. It was proposed that we use fingerprinting as a quality control measure using qualitative and quantitative characteristic functional peptide sequences. The chemical modification and encapsulation of bioactive peptides in microcapsules and liposomes are widely used to improve the digestive and metabolic stability of bioactive peptides. Additionally, the establishment of a universal stability test and a unified index would greatly improve uniformity and comparability in research into bioactive peptides. In summary, the reliable evaluation of stability is an essential component of peptide characterization, and these ideas may facilitate further development and utilization of bioactive peptides. Stability challenges encountered by bioactive peptides were summarized. Strategies to improve the stability of bioactive peptides were provided. A universal stability test and unified index would improve uniformity and comparability in research into bioactive peptides. It was proposed that we use a method of traditional Chinese medicine fingerprinting as a quality control measure.

Isolation and Identification of Antioxidative Peptide from Goose Liver Hydrolysate to Ameliorate Alcohol-Mediated Oxidative Stress Damage in HHL-5 Hepatocytes. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27217151. [PMID: 36363978 PMCID: PMC9655001 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27217151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Revised: 10/18/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to isolate and identify antioxidative peptide from goose liver hydrolysate (GLHP) for ameliorating oxidative stress damage by alcohol in HHL-5 hepatocytes. In this research, the target antioxidative peptides in GLHP were separated, purified, and identified via a tangential flow ultrafiltration system combined with size exclusion chromatography (SEC), ion exchange chromatography (IEC), reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC), and LC-MS/MS. The results suggested that the amino acid sequence of the target antioxidative peptide for ameliorating alcohol-mediated oxidative stress damage in HHL-5 hepatocytes was Leu-Pro-Leu-Pro-Phe-Pro (LPLPFP), which had a molecular weight of 683.41 Da, and was derived from NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 1 in goose liver. In addition, LPLPFP was confirmed to have a satisfactory stability and maintained high hepatic protective activity in a simulated gastrointestinal digestion. Moreover, the mechanism of LPLPFP prevented against oxidative stress damage in HHL-5 hepatocytes was attributed to inhibiting the production of reactive oxide species (ROS) by upregulating genes expression in the Ahr-NQO1 signal pathway. In conclusion, these results indicated that dietary GLHP supplementation could ameliorate alcohol-mediated oxidative stress damage and provide an affordable dietary intervention strategy to prevent alcohol-mediated hepatocyte damage.

Abstract
A novel antioxidant peptide EDEQKFWGK from porcine plasma hydrolysate (PPH) was separated by chromatography, HPLC, and identified by LC-MS/MS. Results showed that EDEQKFWGK had better antioxidant ability (Hydroxyl RAS 32.19%, ABTS RAS 92.93% and DPPH RAS 26.76%) compared with glutathione (30.11%, 82.01%, 26.44%) due to the presence of hydrophobic, aromatic acids (F, W) and acidic amino acids (E, D), decreasing ROS by providing hydrogen atom and chelating metal ions. Furthermore, the antioxidant properties of synthetic EDEQKFWGK still significant despite in vitro digestion because of the production of smaller active peptide. Additionally, it could increase SOD, CAT, GSH-Px to resist oxidative damage in HepG2 cells by inhibiting ROS (O2 - , OH·), forming complexes to prevent OH· from destroying DNA and binding to ARE to promote antioxidase expression. Thereby, the novel peptide EDEQKFWGK from porcine plasma had much stable antioxidant properties and hade great potential in formulating functional foods. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: This research isolated a novel antioxidant peptide. Moreover, the antioxidant effects of peptide were confirmed under the in vitro digestion model and oxidative damage HepG2 cells model. The results showed the antioxidant peptide could play better effect after digestion and protect the cells from oxidative damage. These data could expand the sequence data of antioxidant peptides and promote the high-value utilization of PPH.
