Abstract
As a key component of cell-cultured fish, fish skin gelatin (FSG)-based cell scaffold provides support structures for cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. However, there are potential allergenicity risks contained in FSG-based scaffolds. In this study, 3D edible scaffolds were prepared by phase separation method and showed a contact angle of less than 90°, which indicated that the scaffolds were favorable for cell adhesion. Besides, the swelling ratio was greater than 200%, implying a great potential to support cell growth. The sequence homology analysis indicated that FSG was prone to cross-reaction with collagen analogues. Additionally, a food allergic model was constructed and represented that mice gavaged with cod FSG exhibited higher levels of specific antibodies, mast cell degranulation, vascular permeability, and intestinal barrier impairment than those gavaged with pangasius and tilapias FSG. Its higher allergenicity might be attributed to a higher number of digestion-resistant linear epitopes. Moreover, the higher hydrolysis degree linked to the exposure of linear epitopes to promote the combination with IgE, which was also responsible for maintaining the higher allergenicity of cod FSG. This study clarifies allergenic risks in cell-cultured fish and further study will focus on the allergenicity reduction of FSG-based cell scaffolds.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4399. [PMID: 38673984 PMCID: PMC11050004 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25084399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Gluten hypersensitivity is characterized by the production of IgE antibodies against specific wheat proteins (allergens) and a myriad of clinical allergic symptoms including life-threatening anaphylaxis. Currently, the only recommended treatment for gluten hypersensitivity is the complete avoidance of gluten. There have been extensive efforts to develop dietary-based novel therapeutics for combating this disorder. There were four objectives for this study: (i) to compile the current understanding of the mechanism of gluten hypersensitivity; (ii) to critically evaluate the outcome from preclinical testing of novel therapeutics in animal models; (iii) to determine the potential of novel dietary-based therapeutic approaches under development in humans; and (iv) to synthesize the outcomes from these studies and identify the gaps in research to inform future translational research. We used Google Scholar and PubMed databases with appropriate keywords to retrieve published papers. All material was thoroughly checked to obtain the relevant data to address the objectives. Our findings collectively demonstrate that there are at least five promising dietary-based therapeutic approaches for mitigating gluten hypersensitivity in development. Of these, two have advanced to a limited human clinical trial, and the others are at the preclinical testing level. Further translational research is expected to offer novel dietary-based therapeutic options for patients with gluten hypersensitivity in the future.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:3002-3012. [PMID: 38053408 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rosmarinic acid (RA) is an active polyphenol that is widely found in various edible herbs. This study explored the potential anti-allergic activities and the underlying mechanisms of RA in ovalbumin (OVA)-induced intestinal allergic mice. RESULTS Forty female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into five groups: control group, model group (OVA sensitized/challenged), RA-Low group (OVA sensitized/challenged, 30 mg kg-1 RA intervention), RA-Middle group (OVA sensitized/challenged, 90 mg kg-1 RA intervention) and RA-High group (OVA sensitized/challenged, 270 mg kg-1 RA intervention). RA effectively attenuated allergic reactions, including alleviating allergic symptoms and regulating the hypothermia of mice in the model group. Moreover, the anaphylactic mediator (OVA-specific IgE, histamine and mMCP-1) levels of OVA allergic mice were markedly decreased after RA intervention. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that RA significantly inhibited Th2 cytokine expression, while Th1 and Treg cytokines were markedly increased. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that RA effectively regulated the richness and diversity of the intestinal microbiota in OVA allergic mice. At the phylum level, the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes and the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio were altered by RA intervention. At the genus level, RA was found to regulate the disturbances in the relative abundance of Muribaculaceae, Lactobacillus and Prevotella. CONCLUSION RA exhibited potential anti-allergic activity in OVA allergic mice by regulating hypersensitive immune responses and the intestinal microbiota structure. These results provide important evidence that RA can be developed into a novel functional food-derived ingredient against food allergy. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A large number of people worldwide suffer from gluten-induced food allergy. As investigated in our previous research, Lactobacillus paracasei AH2 isolated from traditionally homemade sourdough in Anhui province of China showed the potential to reduce the immune reactivity of wheat protein by in vitro evaluation. However, whether L. paracasei AH2 has a role in alleviating wheat allergy in an in vivo model and its underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated. RESULTS In this study, the alleviative effects of L. paracasei AH2 on gluten-induced allergic response were evaluated. Compared with a gluten-allergic mouse, L. paracasei AH2 suppressed anaphylaxis symptoms, gluten-specific immunoglobulin E, histamine and interleukin-4. Moreover, L. paracasei AH2 attenuated splenomegaly and induced Th1 or Treg cell differentiation to modulate the Th1/Th2 immune balance toward Th1 polarization. Short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels were enhanced after L. paracasei AH2 supplementation, contributing to allergy relief as well as reducing the pH of colonic contents. The α and β diversities of the gut microbiota were modulated by L. paracasei AH2 with increased relative abundance of Lacticaseibacillus and SCFA producers (Faecalibaculum, Alloprevotella and Bacteroides genera), as well as decreased unfavorable Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group and Alistipes. Additionally, L. paracasei AH2 protected the intestinal barrier function by upregulating tight junctions and improved the antioxidant activities in serum. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that L. paracasei AH2 could act as a potential probiotic for relieving wheat allergy by modulating the gut microbiota and elevating SCFA levels. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Arabinose confers protection against intestinal injury by improving integrity of intestinal mucosal barrier. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 126:111188. [PMID: 37995573 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.111188] [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: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
There is a growing amount of research that highlights the significant involvement of metabolic imbalance and the inflammatory response in the advancement of colitis. Arabinose is a naturally occurring bioactive monosaccharide that plays a crucial role in the metabolic processes and synthesis of many compounds in living organisms. However, the more detailed molecular mechanism by which the administration of arabinose alleviates the progression of colitis and its associated carcinogenesis is still not fully understood. In the present study, arabinose is recognized as a significant and inherent protector of the intestinal mucosal barrier through its role in preserving the integrity of tight junctions within the intestines. Also, it is important to note that there is a positive correlation between the severity of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC), as well as chemically-induced colitis in mice, and lower levels of arabinose in the bloodstream. In two mouse models of colitis, caused by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) or by spontaneous colitis in IL-10-/- mice, damage to the intestinal mucosa was reduced by giving the mice arabinose. When arabinose is administrated to model with colitis, it sets off a chain of events that help keep the lysosomes together and stop cathepsin B from being released. During the progression of intestinal epithelial injury, this process blocks myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) from damaging tight junctions and causing mitochondrial dysfunction. In summary, the results of the study have provided evidence supporting the beneficial effects of arabinose in mitigating the progression of colitis. This is achieved through its ability to avoid dysregulation of the intestinal barrier. Consequently, arabinose may hold promise as a therapeutic supplementation for the management of colitis.

Abstract
Food allergy (FA) has become a prominent problem in public health. 2'-Fucosyllactose (2'-FL) was reported to alleviate FA symptoms; however, the regulatory mechanism is still unclear. This study evaluated the 2'-FL antiallergic potential in an ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized mouse model and explored the systemic effects of 2'-FL on gut microecology and the intestinal immune barrier. The results showed that 2'-FL alleviated allergy symptoms, decreased serum allergic indicator levels, enhanced the intestinal barrier, and attenuated low-grade inflammation. The up-regulation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPRs) was associated with higher levels of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in 2'-FL intervention mice. 2'-FL also improved the intestinal microbiota diversity and increased the abundance of Akkermansia, Lachnospiraceae UCG-006, and Ruminococcaceae while suppressing Muribaculaceae, Desulfovibrionaceae, and Erysipelotrichaceae. Additionally, 2'-FL ameliorated the imbalance of Th2/Th1, mainly by decreasing Th2-type immune response and enhanced CD4 + Foxp3 + Treg immunoreaction. These results suggest that 2'-FL restores intestinal barrier defects, gut microbiota disorder, and immune impairment while alleviating ovalbumin-induced allergic symptoms in FA mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND L-arabinose has anti-inflammatory and metabolism-promoting properties, and macrophages participate in the alleviation of inflammation; however, the mechanism by which they contribute to the anti-inflammatory effects of L-arabinose is unknown. OBJECTIVES To investigate the involvement of macrophages in the mitigation of L-arabinose in an intestinal inflammation model induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). METHODS Five-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were divided into 3 groups: a control and an LPS group that both received normal water supplementation, and an L-arabinose (ARA+LPS) group that received 5% L-arabinose supplementation. Mice in the LPS and ARA+LPS groups were intraperitoneally injected with LPS (10 mg/kg body weight), whereas the control group was intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of saline. Intestinal morphology, cytokines, tight junction proteins, macrophage phenotypes, and microbial communities were profiled at 6 h postinjection. RESULTS L-arabinose alleviated LPS-induced damage to intestinal morphology. L-arabinose down-regulated serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6, and messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and toll-like receptor-4 in jejunum and colon compared with those of the LPS group (P < 0.05). The mRNA and protein levels of occludin and claudin-1 were significantly increased by L-arabinose (P < 0.05). Interferon regulatory factor-5 (IRF-5) and signal transducer and activator of transcription-1 (STAT-1), key genes characterized by M1 macrophages, were elevated in the jejunum and colon of LPS mice (P < 0.05) but decreased in the ARA+LPS mice (P < 0.05). In vitro, L-arabinose decreased the proportion of M1 macrophages and inhibited mRNA levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IFN-γ, as well as IRF-5 and STAT-1 (P < 0.01). Moreover, L-arabinose restored the abundance of norank_f__Muribaculaceae, Faecalibaculum, Dubosiella, Prevotellaceae_UCG-001, and Paraasutterella compared with those of LPS (P < 0.05) and increased the concentration of short-chain fatty acids (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The anti-inflammatory effects of L-arabinose are achieved by reducing M1 macrophage polarization, suggesting that L-arabinose could be a candidate functional food or nutritional strategy for intestinal inflammation and injury.

Abstract
Introduction Recent work highlighted the importance of environmental contaminants in the development of allergic diseases. Methods The intestinal mucosal barrier, Th (helper T) cells, DCs (dendritic cells), and intestinal flora were analyzed with flow cytometry, RNA-seq, and 16s sequencing in the present study to demonstrate whether the exposure of enterotoxins like Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B (SEB) in allergens could promote the development of food allergy. Results and discussion We found that co-exposure to SEB and Ovalbumin (OVA) could impair the intestinal barrier, imbalance the intestinal Th immune, and cause the decline of intestinal flora diversity in OVA-sensitized mice. Moreover, with the co-stimulation of SEB, the transport of OVA was enhanced in the Caco-2 cell monolayer, the uptake and presentation of OVA were promoted in the bone marrow dendritic cells (BMDCs), and Th cell differentiation was also enhanced. In summary, co-exposure to SEB in allergens should be considered a food allergy risk factor.

Abstract
An allergic or type I hypersensitivity reaction involves a misdirected immune overreaction to innocuous environmental and dietary antigens called allergens. The genetic predisposition to allergic disease, referred to as atopy, can be expressed as a variety of manifestations-e.g., allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, allergic asthma, anaphylaxis. Globally, allergic diseases are one the most common types of chronic conditions. Several factors have been identified to contribute to the pathogenesis and progression of the disease, leading to distinctively variable clinical symptoms. The factors which can attenuate or exacerbate allergic reactions can range from genetic heterozygosity, the prominence of various comorbid infections, and other factors such as pollution, climate, and interactions with other organisms and organism-derived products, and the surrounding environment. As a result, the effective prevention and control of allergies remains to be one of the most prominent public health problems. Therefore, to contextualize the current knowledge about allergic reactions, this review paper attempts to synthesize different aspects of an allergic response to describe its significance in the global health scheme. Specifically, the review shall characterize the biomolecular mechanisms of the pathophysiology of the disease based on underlying disease theories and current findings on ecologic interactions and describe prevention and control strategies being utilized. An integrated perspective that considers the underlying genetic, immunologic, and ecologic aspects of the disease would enable the development of more effective and targeted diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies for the management and control of allergic diseases.

Xie Q, Liu C, Fu W, Chen C, Gu S, Luo D, Xue W. Intestinal microenvironment-mediated allergic dynamic phenotypes and endotypes in the development of gluten allergy. Food Res Int 2023; 169:112840. [PMID: 37254413 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the dynamic changes in intestinal microenvironment factors in the development of gluten-induced allergy (GA). Our results showed that GA provoked increasingly severe allergic phenotypes such as allergic and diarrheal symptoms with the gluten sensitization frequency, which was accompanied by dynamically rising levels of gluten-specific immunoglobulin (Ig) E, IgG2a and IgA, serum histamine, T cell-related inflammatory cytokines, and intestinal indexes. An increase in luminal pH was more significant in the large intestine versus the small intestine, which was due to a dynamic decline in colonic short-chain fatty acid levels. Both antioxidant capacity and intestinal permeability in the large intestine varied with the GA severity, as evidenced by a dynamic increase in the malondialdehyde content and a decrease in the superoxide dismutase activity and total antioxidant capacity. Moreover, we demonstrated that intestinal microenvironment dysbiosis occurred before a true allergy reaction began. Spearman correlation analysis suggested that the characteristic bacterial cluster, namely Alistipes, Desulfovibrio, Ileibacterium, Parabacteroides, and Ruminococcus torques group, are essential in the association between GA and intestinal microenvironment homeostasis.

Glycosylation reduces the allergenicity of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) parvalbumin by regulating digestibility, cellular mediators release and Th1/Th2 immunobalance. Food Chem 2022; 382:132574. [PMID: 35247664 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2022.132574] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2021] [Revised: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
With turbot being increasingly consumed, turbot parvalbumin (TPV) allergy has become a pressing problem requiring immediate resolution. Glycosylation treatment not only resulted in cross-link formation but also caused changes in the simulated gastric fluid and simulated intestinal fluid digestion stability of TPV. In addition, KU812 experimentation revealed lower levels of β-hexosaminidase, histamine, tryptase, interleukin 4 (IL-4)/IL-13 in glycated protein-treated mice compared with native PV-treated ones. Glycated TPV exhibited a weaker allergic reaction compared with native TPV. Systemic anaphylaxis resulted in mild anaphylactic responses and reduced temperature, along with significantly increased levels of immunoglobulin E and histamine. Furthermore, glycosylation treatment reduced the release of cellular mediators and cytokines (IL-4/IL-13). Glycation to T-PV decreased allergic responses by downregulating Th2 cytokines, regulated the Th1/Th2 balance and effectively reduce the allergenicity and sensitisation ability of T-PV.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the sensitization of αS1-CN in cow and goat's milk in a mouse model. Fifty mice were divided into control group, adjuvant control group, cow's milk αS1-CN sensitized group, goat's milk αS1-CN sensitized group and cross sensitized group. Cow's and goat's milk αS1-CN were used to establish a mouse sensitization model. The results showed that cow's milk αS1-CN had higher allergenicity than goat's milk αS1-CN, as can be seen in significantly increased s-IgE and Th2 cell-related inflammatory factors, the proportion of Th2, and the expression of Th2 cell-related transcription factors. Furthermore, the sensitization of cow's milk αS1-CN damaged the intestinal barrier of mice, caused the leakage of LPS, activated the TLR4-NFκB pathway, and thus resulted in the increase of IFN-γ. In addition, mice allergic to cow's milk αS1-CN were less sensitized to goat's milk αS1-CN.

[PMID: 35681291 PMCID: PMC9180400 DOI: 10.3390/foods11111542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2022] [Revised: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/21/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Targeted rectal and colonic delivery is an effective strategy to exploit the biological functions of polyphenols. This work investigated the anti-food allergy (FA) activity of cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) delivered by enteric sodium alginate in vivo. The results showed that through targeted rectal and colonic delivery, the C3G showed better results in ameliorating clinical allergic symptoms, diarrhea, and serological indicators including ovalbumin-specific IgE, histamine, and mast cell protease-1. The C3G was more efficient in enhancing the intestinal epithelial barrier by up-regulating the tight junction protein expression and promoting secretory IgA and β-defensin secretion. The improved bioactivity in regulating T helper (Th)1/Th2 immune balance in the intestinal mucosa was also observed. Compared with the intestinal microbiota structure of the model group, targeted rectal and colonic delivery of C3G was able to bring the abundance of Bacteroidota and Firmicutes close to the levels found in normal mice. Furthermore, there was an evident increase in beneficial bacteria in the intestinal flora, such as Lactobacillus and Odoribacter, and a decrease in pathogenic bacteria like Helicobacter and Turicibacter. Therefore, the anti-FA activity of C3G could be increased via targeted rectal and colonic delivery, while the mechanism might be attributed to the regulation of intestinal microecological homeostasis.

Nutr Metab (Lond) 2022; 19:30. [PMID: 35428331 PMCID: PMC9013033 DOI: 10.1186/s12986-022-00662-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Hypercholesterolemia is closely associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. l-Arabinose exhibited hypocholesterolemia properties, but underlying mechanisms have not been sufficiently investigated. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms of l-arabinose on hypocholesterolemia involving the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. Methods Thirty six-week-old male mice were randomly divided into three groups: the control group and the high-fat-high-sucrose diet (HFHSD)-fed group were gavaged with distilled water, and the l-arabinose-treated group were fed HFHSD and received 400 mg/kg/day l-arabinose for 12 weeks. Serum and liver biochemical parameters, serum and fecal bile acid, cholesterol and bile acid metabolism-related gene and protein expressions in the liver and small intestine were analyzed. Results l-Arabinose supplementation significantly reduced body weight gain, lowered circulating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) while increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, and efficiently alleviated hepatic inflammation and lipid accumulations in HFHSD-fed mice. l-Arabinose inhibited cholesterol synthesis via downregulation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR). Additionally, l-arabinose might facilitate reverse cholesterol transport, evidenced by the increased mRNA expressions of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) and scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-B1). Furthermore, l-arabinose modulated ileal reabsorption of bile acids mainly through downregulation of ileal bile acid-binding protein (I-BABP) and apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT), resulting in the promotion of hepatic synthesis of bile acids via upregulation of cholesterol-7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1). Conclusions l-Arabinose supplementation exhibits hypocholesterolemic effects in HFHSD-fed mice primarily due to regulation of bile acid metabolism-related pathways.

[PMID: 34653427 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2021.120038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Revised: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 09/05/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
AIMS To explore the effect on food allergy of stachyose. MAIN METHODS The egg allergen ovalbumin (OVA) was used to induce a food allergy model of BALB/c mice, and different doses of stachyose were given in process. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods to detect the levels of IgE, IgG1, histamine and cytokines. And flow cytometry was used to analyze TH1/TH2 balance further. Besides, Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe changes of intestinal morphology. Lastly, Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) and western Blot was conducted to explore the possible mechanism. KEY FINDINGS Compared with OVA group, serum IgE and IgG1 levels in the low-dose (1mg/mouse) group and high-dose (5mg/mouse) group of stachyose were significantly reduced (P < 0.05); the level of plasma histamine was also decreased significantly (P < 0.05) and the body temperature were decreased. In all, allergic symptoms were alleviated after stachyose treatment. Furthermore, TH1/TH2 balance was improved after stachyose treatment. Lastly, the expression of TLR2 and NF-κB were increased significantly (P < 0.05) in both mRNA and protein levels after stachyose treatment. SIGNIFICANCE Food allergy was alleviated through improving TH1/TH2 balance by activating TLR2/NF-κB signal by stachyose.
