Blood-supplementing effect of low molecular weight peptides of E-Jiao on chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression: evaluation of pharmacological activity and identification of bioactive peptides released in vivo. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1366407. [PMID: 38904003 PMCID: PMC11188354 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1366407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Equus asinus L. [Equidae; Asini Corri Colla] (donkey-hide gelatin, E-Jiao) is a traditional Chinese medicine renowned for its exceptional blood-supplementing effect. However, the specific components that contribute to its efficacy remain elusive. This study aimed to demonstrate that peptides are responsible for E-Jiao's blood-supplementing effect and to explore the specific peptides contributing to its efficacy. Methods: The low molecular weight peptides of E-Jiao (LMEJ) were obtained using an in vitro digestion method. LMEJ and peptides in the rat bloodstream were characterized by peptidomics analysis. The blood-supplementing effect of LMEJ was assessed using blood-deficient zebrafish and mouse models. The effect of the peptides detected in rat blood was evaluated using the same zebrafish model, and network pharmacology analysis was performed to investigate the underlying mechanisms. Results: A total of 660 unique peptides were identified within LMEJ. Both E-Jiao and LMEJ significantly alleviated myelosuppression in mice but only LMEJ attenuated myelosuppression in zebrafish. After the administration of E-Jiao to rats, 67 E-Jiao-derived peptides were detected in the bloodstream, 41 of which were identical to those identified in LMEJ. Out of these 41 peptides, five were synthesized. Subsequent verification of their effects revealed that two of them were able to alleviate myelosuppression in zebrafish. Network pharmacology study suggested that E-Jiao may exert a blood-supplementing effect by regulating signaling pathways such as JAK-STAT, IL-17 and others. These results indicated that peptides are at least partially responsible for E-Jiao's efficacy. Conclusion: This study provides a crucial foundation for further exploration of the bioactive components of E-Jiao.

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
Previous studies have demonstrated that the oral administration of food-derived peptides exerts beneficial effects on human health beyond conventional nutritional functions. In vitro studies have suggested potential mechanisms and active peptides. However, the levels of most food-derived peptides in the body are far lower than the concentrations used in the in vitro assays, with some exceptions. These facts suggest that food-derived peptides might be metabolized into active compounds or function via different mechanisms than the proposed mechanisms. This work briefly discusses the perspectives related to the metabolites of the food-derived peptides in the body.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to develop a dipeptide showing an adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1) agonistic effect in skeletal muscle L6 myotubes. Based on the structure of the AdipoR1 agonist, AdipoRon, 15 synthetic dipeptides were targeted to promote glucose uptake in L6 myotubes. Tyr-Pro showed a significant increase in glucose uptake among the dipeptides, while other dipeptides, including Pro-Tyr, failed to exert this effect. Tyr-Pro induces glucose transporter 4 (Glut4) expression in the plasma membrane, along with adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation. In AdipoR1-knocked down cells, the promotion by Tyr-Pro was ameliorated, indicating that Tyr-Pro may directly interact with AdipoR1 as an agonist, followed by the activation of AMPK/Glut4 translocation in L6 myotubes. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that a Tyr-Pro molecule was stably positioned in the two potential binding pockets (sites 1 and 2) of the seven-transmembrane receptor, AdipoR1, anchored in a virtual 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine membrane. In conclusion, we demonstrated the antidiabetic function of the Tyr-Pro dipeptide as a possible AdipoR1 agonist.

Abstract
Chemical derivatizations have been extensively developed for highly sensitive detection of bioactive small peptides; however, their advantages from the viewpoint of longer oligopeptides remain unverified. In this study, electrospray-ionization (ESI)-mass spectrometric (MS) detection of synthetic di- to pentapeptides consisting of glycine and sarcosine were characterized by four amine derivatization methods. It was concluded that the ESI-MS detection of di- to pentapeptides was characterized by the molecular surface area of derivatized peptide moieties with an optimal value of 250 - 300 Å2, regardless of hydrophobicity and derivatization methods.

Abstract
We previously reported that intramuscular injections of ubiquitin ligase CBLB inhibitory pentapeptide (Cblin; Asp-Gly-pTyr-Met-Pro) restored lost muscle mass caused by sciatic denervation. Here, we detected Cblin on the basolateral side of Caco-2 cells after being placed on the apical side, and found that cytochalasin D, a tight junction opener, enhanced Cblin transport. Orally administered Cblin was found in rat plasma, indicating that intact Cblin was absorbed in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, transgenic Cblin peptide-enriched rice (CbR) prevented the denervation-induced loss of muscle mass and the upregulation of muscle atrophy-related ubiquitin ligases in mice. These findings indicated that CbR could serve as an alternative treatment for muscle atrophy.

Abstract
WDHHAPQLR (RAP) is an antioxidative peptide derived from rapeseed protein. Although the health benefits from RAP, due to its antioxidant activities, have been determined by chemical methods, a systematic assessment regarding the absorption, metabolism, and antioxidation processes of RAP is still lacking attention. Hence, Caco-2 cell monolayer models and animal experiments were used to evaluate the absorption and bioavailability of RAP. As expected, RAP could be absorbed by intestinal epithelial cells, and the Papp was 0.82 ± 0.19 × 10-6 cm/s. Three main fragments, RAP, DHHAPQLR, and WDHHAP were transported by the paracellular pathway, and QLR was transported by PepT1. An important modified product of RAP (EGDHHAPQLR) was found to contribute to the elimination of intracellular reactive oxygen species. The absolute bioavailability of RAP was 3.56%, and three degradation products of RAP were also detected in rat serum. More importantly, RAP exerts its antioxidant activity by inhibiting the apoptosis of oxidative stress cells. RAP could downregulate the expression of Bax and caspase-3 and upregulate the expression of Bcl-2 in H2O2-induced HUVECs (human umbilical vein endothelial cells). In general, using in vitro and in vivo experimental models, the in vivo absorption and transformation processes of RAP and its antioxidative molecular mechanisms by inhibiting apoptosis of cells were revealed.

Abstract
Peptides have been demonstrated as potentially beneficial compounds against several life-style related diseases such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and atherosclerosis, among others. However, limited research has been carried out on peptide absorption, resulting in a lack of understanding and control of this process. Therefore, this review discusses the recent insights gathered on in vitro and in vivo absorption of peptides across intestinal membranes, into blood circulation. Briefly, some di-/tripeptides permeate through intestinal membranes in their intact forms via peptide transporter systems, while others are vulnerable to protease degradation. Oligopeptides (>tetrapeptides) show a lower transport ability than di-/tripeptides, possibly due to the presence of paracellular tight junctions. The hydrophobicity of peptides (log P) does not seem to influence absorption, while peptide length and degradation of peptides (and peptide sequences) by intestinal proteases may be determinant factors of the absorption process.
