Abstract
Resistant starch (RS) has been shown to modulate intestinal microbiota in animal models in ways that could reduce the effects of dysbiosis-related diseases. However, the mechanism of how this is achieved is not understood. The present study aimed to reveal the mechanism of how RS mitigates dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice by using a starch-lipid complex (RS type 5), with an RS type 2 from high-amylose maize starch as a comparison. Both RS5 and RS2 induced changes in the diversity and composition of the gut bacteria, leading to the alleviation of the induced colitis symptoms including decreasing the loss in body weight, disease activity index score, and colonic shortening. The levels of inflammatory cytokines were modulated and accompanied by an increase in goblet cell numbers and thickening of the intestinal mucus layer. RS5 was more effective, compared to RS2, in alleviating all of the colitis symptoms, mainly through improving the gut microflora dysbiosis and stimulating the generation of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Our study shows that RS5 could effectively alleviate the symptoms of colitis, highlighting a potential use for RS5, particularly in relieving inflammatory bowel disease.

Indole-3-Acetic Acid Esterified with Waxy, Normal, and High-Amylose Maize Starches: Comparative Study on Colon-Targeted Delivery and Intestinal Health Impact. Nutrients 2024; 16:3446. [PMID: 39458442 PMCID: PMC11510046 DOI: 10.3390/nu16203446] [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: 08/30/2024] [Revised: 10/08/2024] [Accepted: 10/09/2024] [Indexed: 10/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Accumulating research suggests that metabolites produced by gut microbiota are essential for maintaining a balanced gut and immune system. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), one of tryptophan metabolites from gut microbiota, is critical for gut health through mechanisms such as activating aryl hydrocarbon receptor. Delivery of IAA to colon is beneficial for treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, and one promising strategy is IAA esterified starch, which is digested by gut microbes in colon and releases loaded IAA. Amylose content is a key structural characteristic that controls the physicochemical properties and digestibility of starch. METHODS In the current study, IAA was esterified with three typical starches with distinct amylose content to obtain indolyl acetylated waxy maize starch (WMSIAA), indolyl acetylated normal maize starch (NMSIAA), and indolyl acetylated high-amylose maize starch (HAMSIAA). The study comparatively analyzed their respective physicochemical properties, how they behave under in vitro digestion conditions, their ability to deliver IAA directly to the colon, and their effects on the properties of the gut microbiota. RESULTS The new characteristic peak of 1H NMR at 10.83 ppm, as well as the new characteristic peak of FTIR spectra at 1729 cm-1, represented the successful esterification of IAA on starch backbone. The following in vitro digestion study further revealed that treatment with indolyl acetylation significantly elevated the resistant starch content in the starch samples. In vivo experimental results demonstrated that WMSIAA exhibited the most significant increase in IAA levels in the stomach, whereas HAMSIAA and NMSIAA demonstrated the most remarkable increases in IAA levels in the small intestine and colon, respectively. The elevated IAA levels in the colon are conducive to promoting the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria and significantly alleviating DSS-induced colitis. CONCLUSIONS This research presents innovative insights and options for the advancement of colon-specific drug delivery systems aimed at preventing and curing gastrointestinal disorders.

Abstract
Rice is a food with a high starch content, comprising over 75% of its composition. However, prolonged and excessive consumption of this cereal may lead to elevated blood glucose levels, which can increase the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Butyric acid (BA), the primary energy source for colonic epithelial cells, exhibits the highest utilization rate among short-chain fatty acids, underscoring its importance for human health. In this study, rice starch butyrate (RSB) samples were synthesized using the aqueous phase process, with broken rice starch (RS) and butyric anhydride serving as the substrate. RSB samples with different degrees of substitution (DS) were produced by modulating the addition amount of butyric anhydride. The crystal structures, morphology of starch granules, pasting properties, thermal stability, and in vitro digestibilities of the RSB were investigated and compared with those of native rice starch. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the successful incorporation of butyryl into the starch molecules. With the increase in DS, the roughness of the RSB material's surface gradually increased, leading to the deterioration of the smooth structure on certain surfaces, which resulted in the appearance of cracks and collapses. Additionally, the crystallinity diminished from 24.77% to 7.41% with increasing DS. Concurrently, in vitro digestive characterisation revealed that the percentage of resistant starch increased from 24.33% to 47.72%. Thus, this study can provide a theoretical basis for the development of novel products of amyl butyrate.

A Butyrate-Yielding Dietary Supplement Prevents Acute Alcoholic Liver Injury by Modulating Nrf2-Mediated Hepatic Oxidative Stress and Gut Microbiota. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:9420.

Abstract
Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a globally prevalent form of liver disease for which there is no effective treatment. Recent studies have found that a significant decrease in butyrate was closely associated with ALD development. Given the low compliance and delivery efficiency associated with oral-route butyrate administration, a highly effective butyrate-yielding dietary supplement, butyrylated high-amylose maize starch (HAMSB), is a good alternative approach. Here, we synthesized HAMSB, evaluated the effect of HAMSB on acute ALD in mice, compared its effect with that of oral administration of butyrate, and further studied the potential mechanism of action. The results showed HAMSB alleviated acute ALD in mice, as evidenced by the inhibition of hepatic-function impairment and the improvement in liver steatosis and lipid metabolism; in these respects, HAMSB supplementation was superior to oral sodium butyrate administration. These improvements can be attributed to the reduction of oxidative stress though the regulation of Nrf2-mediated antioxidant signaling in the liver and the improvement in the composition and function of microbiota in the intestine. In conclusion, HAMSB is a safe and effective dietary supplement for preventing acute ALD that could be useful as a disease-modifying functional food or candidate medicine.

Abstract
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are the primary energy source of colonic epithelial cells, but oral SCFAs are digested, absorbed, or degraded before reaching the colon. The acylated starch with SCFAs can be fermented and release specific SCFAs under the action of colonic intestinal microbiota. This review first introduces the preparation method, reaction mechanism, and substitution factors. Second, the structure, physical and chemical properties, in vitro function, and mechanism of acylated starch were expounded. Finally, the application of acylated starch in foods is introduced, and its safety is evaluated, providing a basis for the further development of acylated starch-based foods. The acylated starch obtained by different acylation types and preparation methods is different in particle, molecular, and crystal structures, leading to changes in the function and physicochemical properties. Meanwhile, acylated starch has the functional potential of targeted delivery of SCFAs to the colon, which can increase SCFAs in feces and intestine, selectively regulate the intestinal microbiota, and produce a prebiotic effect conducive to host health. The safety of acetylated starch has been supported by relevant studies, which have been widely used in various food fields and have great potential in the food industry.

Abstract
Butyrylated starch is produced by the esterification of hydroxyl groups in starch with butyryl groups, which improves the structural diversity of starch and expands its function and biological activity. The paper summarizes the structural properties and digestive properties, fermentation properties, and biological activities of butyrylated starch and describes the conformational relationships generated by the butyryl groups to reveal the underlying mechanisms. The butyryl groups replace the hydroxyl groups in starch and break the hydrogen bonds, which consequently changes the molecular, crystal, and granular structures of starch, while the starch structure also affects the distribution of the butyryl groups. Binding to the butyryl groups gives starch efficacy in resisting digestion, lowering the glycaemic index, releasing butyric acid in the colon, and regulating intestinal flora and metabolites. Relationships between starch structural parameters and butyric acid production and intestinal flora were also concluded to provide guidance for the rational design of butyrylated starch to improve efficacy. Moreover, based on its digestive and fermentation properties, butyrylated starch has exhibited good therapeutic efficacy for intestinal diseases, diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, and chronic restraint stress-induced abnormalities. This review provides a valuable reference for butyrylated starch advancement and utilization.

Abstract
Microbial metabolites have emerged as key players in the interplay between diet, the gut microbiome, and host health. Two major classes, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and tryptophan (Trp) metabolites, are recognized to regulate inflammatory, immune, and metabolic responses within the host. Given that many human diseases are associated with dysbiosis of the gut microbiome and consequent reductions in microbial metabolite production, the administration of these metabolites represents a direct, multi-targeted treatment. While a multitude of preclinical studies showcase the therapeutic potential of both SCFAs and Trp metabolites, they often rely on high doses and frequent dosing regimens to achieve systemic effects, thereby constraining their clinical applicability. To address these limitations, a variety of pharmaceutical formulations approaches that enable targeted, delayed, and/or sustained microbial metabolite delivery have been developed. These approaches, including enteric encapsulations, esterification to dietary fiber, prodrugs, and nanoformulations, pave the way for the next generation of microbial metabolite-based therapeutics. In this review, we first provide an overview of the roles of microbial metabolites in maintaining host homeostasis and outline how compromised metabolite production contributes to the pathogenesis of inflammatory, metabolic, autoimmune, allergic, infectious, and cancerous diseases. Additionally, we explore the therapeutic potential of metabolites in these disease contexts. Then, we provide a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the pharmaceutical strategies that have been employed to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of microbial metabolites, with a focus on SCFAs and Trp metabolites.

Abstract
Certain types of soluble dietary fibre, such as pectin and pectic oligosaccharides from different sources, have demonstrated protective effects against inflammation in DSS-induced colitis mouse models. In this work, we have evaluated the impact of a diet enriched in apple pomace (AP-diet), an agricultural by-product with a significant content of pectin and that previously demonstrated prebiotic properties in human fecal batch fermentation models, on the gut microbiota composition, intestinal damage and inflammation markers in a DSS-induced colitis model. We found that the apple pomace enriched diet (AP-diet), providing a significant amount of pectin with demonstrated prebiotic properties, was associated with a slower increase in the disease activity index, translating into better clinical symptomatology of the animals. Histological damage scoring confirmed less severe damage in those animals receiving an AP-diet before and during the DSS administration period. Some serum inflammatory markers, such as TNFα, also demonstrated lower levels in the group receiving the AP-diet, compared to the control diet. AP-diet administration is also associated with the modulation of key taxa in the colonic microbiota of animals, such as some Lachnospiraceae genera and Ruminococcus species, including commensal short chain fatty acid producers that could play a role in attenuating inflammation at the intestinal level.

The results showed that Res-Vd-MSNPs were spherical in shape with a particle size of 625.4 nm and a surface charge of +26.1 mV. The EE of Res and Vd was as high as 93.6 % and 90.8 %, respectively. Res-Vd-MSNPs exhibited better stability and lower degradation rate in simulated gastric fluid, allowing the programmed sequential release of Vd and Res in simulated intestinal fluid and simulated colonic fluid, which was also confirmed by in vivo fluorescence imaging of mice. In addition, Res-Vd-MSNPs effectively alleviated the clinical symptoms of dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS)-induced colitis in mice, including weight loss, diarrhea and fecal bleeding, and it especially exerted a preventive effect on DSS-induced colon tissue damage and colon shortening. Furthermore, Res-Vd-MSNPs suppressed the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 and ameliorated DSS-induced oxidative damage, decreased colonic myeloperoxidase (MPO) and nitric oxide (NO) activities and elevated glutathione (GSH) level in DSS-treated mice. This study illustrated that MSNPs were potential carriers for developing the co-delivery system for the synergistic prevention and treatment of ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
Curcumin has been proven to be an effective strategy for reducing inflammatory responses. However, low bioavailability and instability at the physiological pH have limited its anti-inflammatory activity in ulcerative colitis patients. In the present study, a complex of curcumin and konjac glucomannan (KGM) effectively inhibited intestinal inflammation and this effect was associated with KGM degradation degrees. Results demonstrated that treatment with the complex markedly mitigated colitis symptoms and decreased inflammatory cytokines levels, especially in the complex treatment groups with K110 (KGM treated in 110 °C) and konjac oligosaccharides (KOSs). Furthermore, increasing the KOS content in KOC (the complex of curcumin and KOS) promoted the gene expressions of the intestinal barrier and inhibited the gene expressions of inflammatory cytokines, as well as improved gut microbiota dysregulation. Overall, our studies suggest that the complex of curcumin and KGM exerts effective anti-inflammatory effects by regulating the intestinal immune response and modulating microbiota diversity and composition.

Abstract
Resistant starch, also known as anti-digestion enzymatic starch, which cannot be digested or absorbed in the human small intestine. It can be fermented in the large intestine into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and metabolites, which are advantageous to the human body. Starches can classify as rapidly digestible starch (RDS), slowly digestible starch (SDS), and resistant starch (RS), which possess high thermal stability, low water holding capacity, and emulsification characteristics. Resistant starch has excellent physiological functions such as stabilizing postprandial blood glucose levels, preventing type II diabetes, preventing intestinal inflammation, and regulating gut microbiota phenotype. It is extensively utilized in food processing, delivery system construction, and Pickering emulsion due to its processing properties. The resistant starches, with their higher resistance to enzymatic hydrolysis, support their suitability as a potential drug carrier. Therefore, this review focuses on resistant starch with structural features, modification characteristics, immunomodulatory functions, and delivery system applications. The objective was to provide theoretical guidance for applying of resistant starch to food health related industries.

Abstract
Tryptophan metabolites such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) are critical for gut health, through their binding to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), and may be useful for treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. Delivery of IAA to the colon is necessary, and one strategy is use of esterified starches which get digested in the colon by gut microbes. High amylose maize starch (HAMS) resists digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract and is fermented by gut microbiota to release short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are also beneficial to intestinal homeostasis. IAA esterified to HAMS (HAMSIAA) was synthesized with different degrees of substitution (DSs) by controlling the ratio of IAA vs HAMS. Successful incorporation of indole acetyl group was verified by NMR and FTIR spectra. XRD revealed that the crystalline type of HAMSIAA changed from B to V-type. SEM showed the destroyed surface of the starch granules. HAMSIAA with DS ~ 0.3 effectively increased IAA in the colon, to levels unachievable by oral IAA delivery. HAMSIAA increased pathways downstream of AhR activation, including CYP1A1 mRNA expression and IL-22 protein levels, and greatly improved DSS-induced colitis. HAMSIAA could serve as an ideal means for colon-targeted delivery of IAA and a promising nutraceutical for amelioration of inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
The inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is incurable, chronic, recrudescent disorders in the inflamed intestines. Current clinic treatments are challenged by systemic exposure-induced severe side effects, inefficiency after long-term treatment, and increased risks of infection and malignancy due to immunosuppression. Fortunately, naturally bioactive small molecules, reactive oxygen species scavengers (or antioxidants), and gut microbiota modulators have emerged as promising candidates for the IBD treatment. Polymeric systems have been engineered as a delivery vehicle to improve the bioavailability and efficacy of these therapeutic agents through targeting the mucosa and enhancing intestinal adhesion and retention, and reduce their systemic toxicity. Herein we survey polymer-derived drug delivery systems for combating the IBD. Advanced delivery technologies, therapeutic intervention strategies, and the principles for the construction of hierarchical, mucosa-targeting, and bioresponsive systems are elaborated, providing insights into design and development of from-bench-to-bedside drug delivery polymeric systems for the IBD treatment.

Abstract
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe gastrointestinal disease in premature infants and a leading cause of death in neonates (1-7% in the US). NEC is caused by opportunistic bacteria, which cause gut dysbiosis and inflammation and ultimately result in intestinal necrosis. Previous studies have utilized the rodent and pig models to mimic NEC, whereas the current study uses the in vivo (Gallus gallus) intra-amniotic administration approach to investigate NEC. On incubation day 17, broiler chicken (Gallus gallus) viable embryos were injected intra-amniotically with 1 mL dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) in H2O. Four treatment groups (0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5%, and 0.75% DSS) and two controls (H2O/non-injected controls) were administered. We observed a significant increase in intestinal permeability and negative intestinal morphological changes, specifically, decreased villus surface area and goblet cell diameter in the 0.50% and 0.75% DSS groups. Furthermore, there was a significant increase in pathogenic bacterial (E. coli spp. and Klebsiella spp.) abundances in the 0.75% DSS group compared to the control groups, demonstrating cecal microbiota dysbiosis. These results demonstrate significant physiopathology of NEC and negative bacterial-host interactions within a premature gastrointestinal system. Our present study demonstrates a novel model of NEC through intra-amniotic administration to study the effects of NEC on intestinal functionality, morphology, and gut microbiota in vivo.

Abstract
Recently, the role of starch-based carrier systems in anticancer drug delivery has gained considerable attention. Although there are same anticancer drugs, difference in their formulations account for unique therapeutic effects. However, the exploration on the effect-enhancing of anticancer drugs and their loading system by modified starch from the perspective of carrier regulation is still limited. Moreover, research on the reduced toxicity of the anticancer drugs due to modified starch as the drug carrier mediated by the intestinal microenvironment is lacking, but worth exploring. In this review, we examined the effect of modified starch on the loading and release properties of anticancer drugs, and the effect of resistant starch and its metabolites on intestinal microecology during inflammation. Particularly, the interactions between modified starch and drugs, and the effect of resistant starch on gene expression, protein secretion, and inflammatory factors were discussed. The findings of this review could serve as reference for the development of anticancer drug carriers in the future.

Abstract
This study aims to explore the protective effect of konjac oligosaccharides (KOS) on inflammatory bowel disease in colitis mice. During the experimental period, mice were administered 200 mg kg-1 or 600 mg kg-1 KOS, 200 mg kg-1 sulfasalazine and a combination of KOS and sulfasalazine for 14 days. The mice were then treated with drinking water containing 2.5% DSS for 9 days, while the intervention of KOS and sulfasalazine continued. At the end of the experiment, the phenotype, pathological lesion of the colon, parameters of cytokines and gut microbiota were evaluated. The results showed that mice treated with KOS exhibited alleviated pathological lesion of the colon tissue and significantly increased expression of tight junction proteins (p < 0.05). The level of inflammatory cytokines in the colon tissue of the colitis mice tended to be normal. Moreover, the analysis of the gut microbiota revealed that the structures and composition of the intestinal microorganisms were also regulated by KOS treatment. The possible internal mechanism is that KOS down-regulates the abundance of pro-inflammatory bacteria (Proteobacteria, Campilobacterota and Clostridiaceae) and up-regulates the abundance of anti-inflammatory bacteria (Bifidobacteriaceae and Akkermansiaceae). These findings provide new insights into dietary management for patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
