Abstract
The crucial role of zwitterionic phosphatidylcholines (PC) within mucus gel is essential for maintaining intestinal homeostasis, while the underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. Herein, we compared the dynamic interfacial adsorption behavior of saturated dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and unsaturated dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) to intestinal mucin and their impact on the intestinal mucus barrier function. Results of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation showed that the highly surface-hydrated DPPC vesicles exhibited significantly faster and more extensive adsorption to purified intestinal mucin than the slightly surface-hydrated DOPC vesicles. Utilizing an intestinal Caco-2/HT29-MTX coculture model, we observed that DPPC vesicles adsorbed much more to the mucus gel compared to DOPC vesicles. Additionally, DPPC vesicle adsorption displayed increased wetting, and converse for DOPC vesicles. Interestingly, both of them exhibited nearly the same protective effects against cell injury induced by peptic-tryptic digests of gliadin (PTG). The partial mechanism involved the binding of PTG to DPPC and DOPC within the mucus gel, thereby restricting PTG contact with the underlying epithelial cells. These findings shed light on the intricate interfacial dynamics of PC adsorption to mucin and their implications for maintaining the integrity of the intestinal mucus barrier.

Abstract
Soy protein is widely known to have serum triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol-lowering effects associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Recent studies highlighted that the extension region (ER) domain of soy 7S globulin (β-conglycinin) is a key component responsible for the serum TG-lowering effect via modulation of bile acid (BA) homeostasis. Here, we studied the sequestration of BAs by ER peptides during intestinal digestion in vitro and assessed the anti-inflammatory effects of ER peptides using Caco-2/HT29-MTX/RAW264.7 triple-cell cocultures as an intestine cell model. Results show that ER peptides, which share characteristics of intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), are capable of forming peptide condensates and exhibit the capability to sequester BA-containing colloidal structures during intestinal digestion in vitro. Moreover, BAs enhance the penetration of peptide condensates within the mucus layer, enabling ER peptides to mitigate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced gut inflammation. These results provide a possible explanation for the molecular mechanisms underlying the modulation of BA homeostasis by soybean proteins.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126755.

Abstract
In this study, we prepared Pickering emulsions stabilized by quinoa protein isolate (QPI) and (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) non-covalent hybrid particles using ultrasonic emulsification technique and demonstrated lipid oxidation and in vitro digestion process of Pickering emulsions. The interaction forces between QPI and EGCG were characterized using fluorescence spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Results indicated that the non-covalent QPI/EGCG hybrid particles were formed mainly via hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, and electrostatic interactions at pH 5. Then, the QPI/EGCG non-covalent hybrid particles were applied to modify the Pickering emulsion with ultrasonic homogenization. The rheological experimental results showed that the energy storage modulus (G') was higher than the loss modulus (G″), indicating that the emulsion had solid-like properties. As a physical barrier, interfacial layer fabricated by antioxidant QPI/EGCG hybrid particles limited lipid oxidation at 60 °C for 15 days. At 37 °C, the QPI/EGCG hybrid particles stabilized Pickering emulsions with robust antioxidant interfacial structure limited the lipid digestion under simulated gastrointestinal tract (gastric, small intestine phases). Thus, EGCG and quinoa proteins were more resistant to free radical oxidation and gastrointestinal digestion with the assistance of ultrasound. It provides a basis for better development of food and drug delivery systems by fully utilizing the antioxidant properties of plant polyphenols.

Abstract
SCOPE Soybean 7S globulin (β-conglycinin), a major soybean storage protein, has been demonstrated to exert remarkable triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol-lowering effects, yet the underlying mechanism remains controversial. METHODS AND RESULTS A comparative investigation is performed to assess the contribution of different structural domains of soybean 7S globulin, including core region (CR) and extension region (ER) domains, to biological effects of soybean 7S globulin using a high-fat diet rat model. The results show that ER domain mainly contributes to the serum TG-lowering effect of soybean 7S globulin, but not for CR domain. Metabolomics analysis reveals that oral administration of ER peptides obviously influences the metabolic profiling of serum bile acids (BAs), as well as significantly increased the fecal excretion of total BAs. Meanwhile, ER peptides supplementation reshapes the composition of gut microbiota and impacts the gut microbiota-dependent biotransformation of BAs which indicate by a significantly increased secondary BAs concentration in fecal samples. These results highlight that TG-lowering effects of ER peptides mainly stem from their modulation of BAs homeostasis. CONCLUSION Oral administration of ER peptides can effectively lower serum TG level by regulating BAs metabolism. ER peptides have potential to be used as a candidate pharmaceutical for the intervention of dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Pesticide misuse has well-documented detrimental effects on ecosystems, with Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) being particularly vulnerable. The current study focuses on the impact of widely used sugarcane crop pesticides, Imazapic (IMZ) and Methyl Parathion (MP), on tilapia gill tissues and their lipid membranes. This investigation was motivated by the specific role of the lipid membrane in transport regulation. Bioinspired cell membrane models, including Langmuir monolayers and liposomes (LUVs and GUVs), were utilized to explore the interaction of IMZ and MP. The results revealed electrostatic interactions between IMZ and MP and the polar head groups of lipids, inducing morphological alterations in the lipid bilayer. Tilapia gill tissue exposed to the pesticides exhibited hypertrophic increases in primary and secondary lamellae, total lamellar fusion, vasodilation, and lifting of the secondary lamellar epithelium. These alterations can lead to compromised oxygen absorption by fish and subsequent mortality. This study not only highlights the harmful effects of the pesticides IMZ and MP, but also emphasizes the crucial role of water quality in ecosystem well-being, even at minimal pesticide concentrations. Understanding these impacts can better inform management practices to safeguard aquatic organisms and preserve ecosystem health in pesticide-affected environments.

Abstract
Colon-targeting delivery of insulin is surging great interests in revolutionizing diabetes. Herein, insulin-loaded starch-based nanocapsules developed by layer-by-layer self-assembly technology were rationally structured. Interactions between starches and the structural changes of the nanocapsules were unraveled to understand in vitro and in vivo insulin release properties. By increasing the deposition layers of starches, the structural compactness of nanocapsules increased and in turn retarded insulin release in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Spherical nanocapsules deposited at least five layers of starches could deliver insulin to the colon in a high efficiency according to the in vitro and in vivo insulin release performance. The underlying mechanism of the insulin colon-targeting release should ascribe to the suitable changes in compactness of the nanocapsules and the interactions between deposited starches after multi-response to the changes in pH, time and enzymes in gastrointestinal tract. Starch molecules interacted with each other much stronger at the intestine than that at the colon, which guaranteed a compact structure in the intestine but a loose structure in the colon for the colon-targeting nanocapsules. It suggested that rather than controlling the deposition layer of the nanocapsules, controlling the interaction between starches could also regulate the structures of the nanocapsules for colon-targeting delivery system.

Abstract
Soybean 7S storage protein (β-conglycinin) is the most important allergen, exhibits resistance in gastrointestinal (GI) digestion, and causes allergies in humans and animals. A previous study has demonstrated that 7S proteins contained innate amyloid aggregates, but the fate of these specific protein aggregates in intestinal digestion and correlation to allergenicity are unclear. In this study, via a modified INFOGEST static in vitro digestion and IgE binding test, we illustrate that the survived amyloid aggregates of soybean 7S protein in GI digestion might be dominant IgE epitopes of soybean protein in humans. The impact of conjugated primary bile acid salt (BS) profile on digestion resistance and immunogenicity of soybean protein is assessed, regarding the binding affinity of BS to protein aggregates with consideration of the BS composition and the physiologically relevant colloidal structure. The results show that chenodeoxycholate-containing colloidal structures exhibit high affinity and unfolding capacity to protein amyloid aggregates, promoting proteolysis by pancreatic enzymes and thus mitigating the antigenicity of soybean protein. This study presents a novel understanding of bile acid profile and colloidal structure influence on the digestibility and antigenicity of dietary proteins. It should be helpful to design in vitro digestion protocol and accurately replicate physiologically relevant digestion conditions.

Abstract
Previous studies have found that soybean protein, especially soybean 7S protein (β-conglycinin), exhibits digestion resistance, but the mechanism of digestion resistance and its implications for human health are still unclear. Here, we show that the extracted soybean 7S protein contains both oligomer globulins and amyloid aggregates, while the gastric digested soybean 7S protein only contains amyloid aggregates and thus exhibits digestion resistance. An animal experiment shows that un-digestible soybean 7S protein effectively prevents aspirin-induced acute gastric mucosa damage. The impacts of un-digestible soybean 7S protein on gastric mucus barrier properties are investigated using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D), Langmuir monolayer, and multiple particle tracking (MPT). Results show that these un-digestible protein aggregates can penetrate into gastric mucus, increase the viscosity and compactness of the mucin layer, and reinforce the gastric mucus barrier properties. The findings are helpful to understand that high consumption of non-fermented soybean foods is associated with a decreased risk of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Wheat protein is the most consumed plant protein in our diet, and there is an increased prevalence of wheat/gluten intolerance and adherence to a gluten-free diet in many countries. Despite the known immunodominant effect of undigested gliadin peptides responsible for gluten-related intolerance, it remains unclear if and how gliadin peptides self-assemble into ordered nanostructures during gastrointestinal digestion, as well as their biological impact on the mucus barrier function. In this study, we purified undigestible gliadin peptide nanoparticles (UGPNs) by ultracentrifugation and characterized their structural and physiochemical properties. The results demonstrate that the UGPNs are self-assembled nanostructures generated by cationic amino acids (Lys and Arg)-capped surfactant-like peptides (SLPs), mainly derived from γ-gliadin and α-gliadin. SLPs trigger the concentration-dependent self-assembly driven by β-sheet conformational transitions above their critical aggregation concentration (cac, ∼0.1 mg/mL). UGPNs can easily penetrate the mucus layer in Caco-2/HT29-MTX cocultures with a high Papp value (∼5.7 × 10-6 cm/s) and reduce the production and thickness of the mucus layer driven by intestinal epithelial cell damage. Isothermal titration calorimetry and Langmuir monolayer studies indicate that the self-assembled state of UGPNs significantly affects their binding to DPPC/DOPE lipid membrane models. These results highlight the relevance of the self-assembly of gliadin peptides as a trigger of mucosal inflammation-related wheat/gluten intolerance.

Abstract
Soybean protein exhibits nutritional significance for the control of metabolic syndrome, and evidence suggests that gut microbiota are implicated in the control of metabolic disorders. This study aimed to investigate the modulation of pepsin-released peptides of soybean 7S globulin on gut microbiota and possible association between changes of gut microbiota composition and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-peptide interaction. In vitro fermentation experiments showed that the extension region (ER) fragments of soybean 7S globulin selectively suppressed proinflammatory Gram-negative bacteria. ER peptides also promoted the highest production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which were associated with increase of the relative abundance of Lachnospiraceae and Lactobacillaceae. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and Langmuir monolayer studies demonstrated that ER peptides exhibited high affinity to LPS in the presence of Ca2+ and developed into β-sheet-rich aggregate structures, thus weakening the stability of LPS monolayers. This finding supplies a possible explanation for improvement of the effects of soybean 7S globulin on metabolic disease.
