Abstract
Nowadays, with the diversification of nutritious and healthy foods, consumers are increasingly seeking clean-labeled products. High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) as a cold sterilization technology can effectively sterilize and inactivate enzymes, which is conducive to the production of high-quality and safe food products with extended shelf life. This technology reduces the addition of food additives and contributes to environmental protection. Moreover, HHP enhances the content and bioavailability of nutrients, reduces the anti-nutritional factors and the risk of food allergen concerns. Therefore, HHP is widely used in the processing of fruit and vegetable juice drinks, alcoholic, meat products and aquatic products, etc. A better understanding of the influence of HHP on food composition and applications can guide the development of food industry and contribute to the development of non-thermally processed and environmentally friendly foods.

Abstract
This study investigated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory peptides from Edible Bird's Nest (EBN). The prepared EBN peptides were sequentially separated, purified, and successively identified by ultrafiltration, gel filtration and mass spectrometry techniques. Four potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory peptides were identified as Peptide 1 (LFWSPSVYLK), Peptide 2 (GWPHLEDNYLDW), Peptide 3 (NPPADLHK) and Peptide 4 (GDLAYLDQGHR). Molecular docking analysis revealed that Peptide 1 and Peptide 2 can competitively interrupt the formation of Keap1-Nrf2 due to the presence of hydrophobic and antioxidant amino acids in their peptide sequences. Peptide 3 and Peptide 4 have a strong effect on interacting with the binding site of IKK-β due to the interaction of anti-inflammatory amino acids and C-terminal arginine/lysine. The four peptides were synthesised and validated for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The results suggest that the four peptides may serve as promising bioactive peptides for preventing oxidative stress and inflammation-related diseases.

Probiotics Antimicrob Proteins 2024:10.1007/s12602-024-10354-9. [PMID: 39225894 DOI: 10.1007/s12602-024-10354-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 08/22/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are the most favorable alternatives in overcoming multidrug resistance, alone or synergistically with conventional antibiotics. Plant-derived AMPs, as cysteine-rich peptides, widely compensate the pharmacokinetic drawbacks of peptide therapeutics. Compared to the putative genes encrypted in the genome, AMPs that are produced under stress are active forms with the ability to combat resistant microbial species. Within this study, plant-derived AMPs, namely, defensins, nodule-specific cysteine-rich peptides, snakins, lipid transfer proteins, hevein-like proteins, α-hairpinins, and aracins, expressed under biotic and abiotic stresses, are classified. We could observe that while α-hairpinins and snakins display a helix-turn-helix structure, conserved motif patterns such as β1αβ2β3 and β1β2β3 exist in plant defensins and hevein-like proteins, respectively. According to the co-expression data, several plant AMPs are expressed together to trigger synergistic effects with membrane disruption mechanisms such as toroidal pore, barrel-stave, and carpet models. The application of AMPs as an eco-friendly strategy in maintaining agricultural productivity through the development of transgenes and bio-pesticides is discussed. These AMPs can be consumed in packaging material, wound-dressing products, coating catheters, implants, and allergology. AMPs with cell-penetrating properties are verified for the clearance of intracellular pathogens. Finally, the dominant pharmacological activities of bioactive peptides derived from the gastrointestinal digestion of plant AMPs, namely, inhibitors of renin and angiotensin-converting enzymes, dipeptidyl peptidase IV and α-glucosidase inhibitors, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating, and hypolipidemic peptides, are analyzed. Conclusively, as phytopathogens and human pathogens can be affected by plant-derived AMPs, they provide a bright perspective in agriculture, breeding, food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries, translated as farm to bedside.

[PMID: 39130687 PMCID: PMC11317058 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s455633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Asthma, a chronic respiratory disease closely associated with inflammation, presents ongoing treatment challenges. IALLIPF (le-Ala-Leu-Leu-Ile-Pro-Phe) is one of millet prolamins peptides (MPP) which shows anti-oxidant bioactivity by reducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Tryptophan (Trp, W) is an amino acid that has been demonstrated to possess anti-inflammatory effects. We introduce a novel cathepsin B-activatable bioactive peptides nanocarrier, PEG-IALLIPF-GFLG-W (MPP-Trp), designed for immunotherapy of asthma. Methods MPP-Trp is synthesized, purified, and its characteristics are investigated by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The yield of nitric oxide (NO) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β) are examined to evaluate anti-inflammatory effects of IALLIPF, Trp and MPP-Trp. The immunomodulatory effects of IALLIPF, Trp and MPP-Trp on Th1/Th2 cell populations and cytokines are investigated by flow cytometry, qRT-PCR and ELISA assays. We explore the therapeutic effect of MPP-Trp in the mouse model of asthma by the analysis of lung histology and ELISA. It is necessary to study the biocompatibility of MPP-Trp by CCK8 assay and histopathologic analysis using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Results In asthmatic peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), IALLIPF, Trp and MPP-Trp are able to significantly alleviate inflammation by inhibiting the yield of nitric oxide (NO) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β), especially MPP-Trp. MPP-Trp significantly upregulates Th1 cell levels while notably reducing Th2 cell levels. Furthermore, MPP-Trp effectively elevates the expression and production of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), an essential cytokine from Th1 cells. Additionally, MPP-Trp markedly diminishes the mRNA expression and levels of key asthma pathogenesis cytokines, such as interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-13 (IL-13), and interleukin-5 (IL-5), in asthma PBMCs. MPP-Trp ameliorates pulmonary pathological alterations and significantly inhibits OVA-induced inflammation in mice with asthma. It has little influence on the cell viability in Asthma-PBMCs treated with various concentrations or durations of MPP-Trp. No pathological changes, including in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney tissues, are observed in non-sensitized and non-challenged mice treated with MPP-Trp (20 mg/kg). Discussion Our research demonstrates that MPP-Trp has immunomodulatory effects on Th1/Th2 cell populations, essential in managing asthma. It considerably alleviates OVA-induced asthma by shifting the immune response towards a Th1-dominant profile, thereby reducing Th2-driven inflammation. Therefore, this novel bioactive peptide nanocarrier, MPP-Trp, holds promise as a candidate for asthma immunotherapy.

Abstract
Food proteins and their peptides play a significant role in the important biological processes and physiological functions of the body. The peptides show diverse biological benefits ranging from anticancer to antihypertensive, anti-obesity, and immunomodulatory, among others. In this review, an overview of food protein digestion in the gastrointestinal tract and the mechanisms involved was presented. As some proteins remain resistant and undigested, the multifarious factors (e.g. protein type and structure, microbial composition, pH levels and redox potential, host factors, etc.) affecting their colonic fermentation, the derived peptides, and amino acids that evade intestinal digestion are thus considered. The section that follows focuses on the mechanisms of the peptides with anticancer, antihypertensive, anti-obesity, and immunomodulatory effects. As further considerations were made, it is concluded that clinical studies targeting a clear understanding of the gastrointestinal stability, bioavailability, and safety of food-based peptides are still warranted.

Abstract
Several macromolecules from the pomelo fruitlet (PF) have demonstrated functional potential in previous research. In this study, pomelo fruitlet albumin (PFA) was extracted from PF, its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and its capacity to clear free radicals was measured. Meanwhile, we hypothesize that the amino acid sequence may affect the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and the two may rely on common significant sites within the amino acid sequence. Therefore, we analyzed the amino acid sequence using a quantitative structure-activity relationship model to explore the connection between the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities of PFA. Both capacities were closely associated with six sites within the amino acid sequence. Collectively, this study illustrates that PFA exhibits both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capacities, with six specific sites identified as significantly affecting both activities.

Insights into bioactive constituents of onion (Allium cepa L.) waste: a comparative metabolomics study enhanced by chemometric tools. BMC Complement Med Ther 2024; 24:271. [PMID: 39010091 PMCID: PMC11250982 DOI: 10.1186/s12906-024-04559-2] [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: 10/29/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Onion waste was reported to be a valuable source of bioactive constituents with potential health-promoting benefits. This sparked a surge of interest among scientists for its valorization. This study aims to investigate the chemical profiles of peel and root extracts of four onion cultivars (red, copper-yellow, golden yellow and white onions) and evaluate their erectogenic and anti-inflammatory potentials. METHODS UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS analysis and chemometric tools were utilized to determine the chemical profiles of onion peel and root extracts. The erectogenic potential of the extracts was evaluated using the PDE-5 inhibitory assay, while their anti-inflammatory activity was determined by identifying their downregulating effect on the gene expression of IL-6, IL-1β, IFN-γ, and TNF-α in LPS-stimulated WBCs. RESULTS A total of 103 metabolites of diverse chemical classes were identified, with the most abundant being flavonoids. The organ's influence on the chemical profiles of the samples outweighed the influence of the cultivar, as evidenced by the close clustering of samples from the same organ compared to the distinct separation of root and peel samples from the same cultivar. Furthermore, the tested extracts demonstrated promising PDE-5 and anti-inflammatory potentials and effectively suppressed the upregulation of pro-inflammatory markers in LPS-stimulated WBCs. The anti-inflammatory activities exerted by peel samples surpassed those of root samples, highlighting the importance of selecting the appropriate organ to maximize activity. The main metabolites correlated with PDE-5 inhibition were cyanidin 3-O-(malonyl-acetyl)-glucoside and quercetin dimer hexoside, while those correlated with IL-1β inhibition were γ-glutamyl-methionine sulfoxide, γ-glutamyl glutamine, sativanone, and stearic acid. Taxifolin, 3'-hydroxymelanettin, and oleic acid were highly correlated with IL-6 downregulation, while quercetin 4'-O-glucoside, isorhamnetin 4'-O-glucoside, and p-coumaroyl glycolic acid showed the highest correlation to IFN-γ and TNF-α inhibition. CONCLUSION This study provides a fresh perspective on onion waste as a valuable source of bioactive constituents that could serve as the cornerstone for developing new, effective anti-PDE-5 and anti-inflammatory drug candidates.

Abstract
Whey derived peptides have shown potential activity improving brain function in pathological condition. However, there is little information about their mechanism of action on glial cells, which have important immune functions in brain. Astrocytes and microglia are essential in inflammatory and oxidative defense that take place in neurodegenerative disease. In this work we evaluate antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential bioactivity of whey peptide in glial cells. Peptides were formed during simulated gastrointestinal digestion (Infogest protocol), and low molecular weight (<5kDA) peptides (WPHf) attenuated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production induced by hydrogen peroxide stimulus in both cells in dose-dependent manner. WPHf induced an increase in the antioxidant glutathione (GSH) content and prevented GSH reduction induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) stimulus in astrocytes cells in a cell specific form. An increase in cytokine mRNA expression (TNFα and IL6) and nitric oxide secretion induced by LPS was attenuated by WPHf pre-treatment in both cells. The inflammatory pathway was dependent on NFκB activation. Bioactive peptide ranking analysis showed positive correlation with hydrophobicity and negative correlation with high molecular weights. The sequence identification revealed 19 peptides cross-referred with bioactive database. Whey peptides were rich in leucine, valine and tyrosine in the C-terminal region and lysine in the N-terminal region. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential of whey peptides were assessed in glia cells and its mechanisms of action were related, such as modulation of antioxidant enzymes and anti-inflammatory pathways. Features of the peptide structure, such as molecular size, hydrophobicity and types of amino acids present in the terminal region are associated to bioactivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation serves as our body's immune response to combat infections, pathogens, viruses, and external stimuli. Inflammation can be classified into two types: acute inflammation and chronic inflammation. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) are used to treat both acute and chronic inflammatory disorders. However, these treatments have various side effects such as reduced healing efficiency, peptic ulcers, gastrointestinal toxicities, etc. METHOD: This review assesses the potential of anti-inflammatory peptides (AIPs) derived from various natural sources, such as algae, fungi, plants, animals, and marine organisms. Focusing on peptides rich in cysteines and methionine, sulphur-containing amino acids known for their role in suppression of inflammation. RESULT Due to their varied biological activity, ability to penetrate cells, and low cytotoxicity, bioactive peptides have garnered interest as possible therapeutic agents. The utilisation of AIPs has shown great potential in the treatment of disorders associated with inflammation. AIPs can be obtained from diverse natural sources such as algae, fungi, plants, and animals. Cysteine and methionine are sulphur-containing amino acids that aid in the elimination of free radicals, hence assisting in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. CONCLUSION This review specifically examines several sources of AIPs including peptides that contain numerous cysteines and methionine. In addition, the biological characteristics of these amino acids and advancements in peptide delivery are also discussed.

Abstract
Bioactive peptides derived from both exogenous and endogenous origins have been studied extensively to use their beneficial effects in humans and animals. Bioactive peptides exhibit beneficial bodily functions and contribute to a healthy gastrointestinal system by influencing barrier functions, immune responses, and gut microbiota. Gut microbiota is a diverse microbial community that significantly influences the overall well-being and homeostasis of the body. Factors such as diet, age, lifestyle, medication, and environmental circumstances can affect the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota. The disturbances or imbalances in the gut microbiota have been associated with various health problems. The interplays between bioactive peptides and gut microbiota are not fully understood, but bioactive peptides hold promise as modulators of the gut microbiota to promote gut health. Almost all the bioactive research on human health, including the development of therapeutics and nutritional interventions, uses cell culture, even though their direct biofunctional activities can only occur when absorbed in the intestine and into the blood system. This review focuses on the current understanding of bioactive peptides in gut microbiota and their impact and mechanisms on gut and human health. The novelty of this review lies in its comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted interactions between bioactive peptides and gut microbiota, integrating knowledge from diverse disciplines between microbiology and nutrition. By elucidating the underlying mechanisms and identifying current research gaps, this review offers an outlook on the potential of bioactive peptides in promoting gut health and shaping future therapeutic and nutritional interventions.

Abstract
Common buckwheat (CBW) is grown and consumed worldwide. In addition to its already established reputation as an excellent source of nutrients, CBW is gaining popularity as a possible component of functional foods. Whereas human studies remain the gold standard for evaluating the relationship between nutrition and health, the development of reliable in vitro or ex vivo models has made it possible to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of CBW effects on human health. Herein is a systematic review of studies on the biological effect of CBW supplementation, as assessed on various types of cellular models. Although the studies reported here have been conducted in very different experimental conditions, the overall effects of CBW supplementation were found to involve a decrease in cytokine secretion and oxidation products, related mainly to CBW polyphenols and protein or peptide fractions. These chemical species also appeared to be involved in the modulation of cell signaling and hormone secretion. Although further studies are undoubtedly necessary, as is their extension to in vivo systems, these reports suggest that CBW-based foods could be relevant to maintaining and/or improving human health and the quality of life.

Abstract
Limosilactobacillus reuteri is an indigenous inhabitant of the animal gut known for its probiotic effects on the host. In our previous study, a large number of L. reuteri strains were isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of mice recovering from ulcerative colitis, from which we randomly selected L. reuteri RE225 for whole genome sequencing to explore its probiotic properties. The results of next-generation sequencing and third-generation single molecule sequencing showed that L. reuteri RE225 contained many genes encoding functional proteins associated with adhesion, anti-inflammatory and pathogen inhibition. And compared to other L. reuteri strains in NCBI, L. reuteri RE225 has unique gene families with probiotic functions. In order to further explore the probiotic effect of the L. reuteri RE225, the derived peptides were identified by LC-MS/MS, and the peptides with tumor necrosis factor-α binding ability were screened by reverse molecular docking and microscale thermophoresis. Finally, cell experiments demonstrated the anti-inflammatory ability of the peptides. Western blotting and qPCR analyses confirmed that the selected peptides might alleviate LPS-induced inflammation in NCM460 cells by inhibiting JAK2/STAT3 pathway activation.

Abstract
Bioactive peptides, which exhibited diverse biological activities such as anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, antiviral, and quorum sensing properties, were considered promising alternative therapeutic agents. Sourced from various raw materials, particularly foods, these peptides garnered significant interest. In this context, the study focused on exploring bioactive peptides derived from bovine whole milk fermentation by Lacticaseibacillus casei LBC 237. Comprehensive peptidomic analysis and in silico predictions, with a specific emphasis on anti-cancer properties, were conducted. The study categorized peptides into BP-LBC, originating from the metabolism of L. casei LBC 237 and not matching any sequence in the Bos taurus database, and BP-MILK, matching a sequence in the Bos taurus database. Among the 143 identified peptides with potential biological activity, 33.56% were attributed to BP-LBC, while 66.43% originated from BP-MILK, demonstrating the important contribution of proteins in bovine milk in the generation of bioactive peptides. Hydrophobic peptides, enriched in Leucine, Lysine, and Proline, dominated both fractions, significantly influencing their functional properties. Pearson correlation analysis revealed inverse relationships between bioactive peptides, molecular weight, and anti-tumor activity in BP-MILK. The DGKVWEESLK peptide exhibited in silico activity against 10 different cancer cell lines. Studying the bioactive properties of peptides from familiar sources enhances the connection between food science and human health. In addition, in silico studies have been crucial in deepening our understanding of the bioactive potential of these peptides and their mode of action.

Abstract
Garlic is a popular food spice with diverse and well-established medicinal properties. Many research interests have been directed toward the biological activities of the phytochemical constituents of garlic. However, prospects of its bioactive proteins and peptides have been understudied to date. With the advances in food proteomics/peptide research, a review of studies on garlic bioactive proteins and peptides, especially on their nature, extraction, and biological activities, is timely. Garlic has been reported to express several proteins, endogenous and protein-derived peptides with interesting bioactivities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-proliferative, antiviral, anti-hypertensive and immunomodulatory activities, suggesting their therapeutic and pharmacological potentials. Compared to legumes, the low protein contents of garlic bulbs and their low stability are possible limitations that would hinder future applications. We suggest adopting heterologous expression systems for peptide overproduction and stability enhancement. Therefore, we recommend increased scientific interest in the bioactive peptides of garlic and other spice plants.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic inflammatory conditions that lead to the disruption of the colonic mucus barrier. Quinoa has a well-balanced profile of essential amino acids and exhibits excellent anti-inflammatory effects. We recently explored the beneficial effects and relevant mechanisms of a novel quinoa peptide TPGAFF on impaired mucus barriers in mice with chemically induced colitis. Our findings demonstrated that TPGAFF, administered in low and high doses for 28 days, effectively attenuated the pathological phenotype and reduced intestinal permeability in colitis mice. TPGAFF demonstrated its protective abilities by restoring the impaired mucus barrier, inhibiting the activation of inflammatory signaling and reducing inflammatory cytokine levels. Moreover, TPGAFF positively influenced the composition of the gut microbiota by reducing inflammation-related microbes. Additionally, TPGAFF inhibited the activation of TRPV1 nociceptor and decreased the levels of neuropeptides. Conclusively, our results indicated that oral administration of TPGAFF may be an optional approach for the treatment of mucus barrier damage.

Abstract
Foods prepared using microbial conversion of major and minor food components, which are otherwise known as fermented foods continue to impact human health. The live microorganisms and transformed metabolites can also have a deep influence on the gut microbiota, the multifaceted population of microorganisms dwelling inside the gut play a key role in wellbeing of an individual. The probiotic strains delivered through the consumption of fermented food and other bioactive components such as polyphenolic metabolites, bioactive peptides, short-chain fatty acids and others including those produced via gut microbiota mediated transformations have been proposed to balance the gut microbiota diversity and activity, and also to regulate the inflammation in the gut. However, little is known about such effects and only a handful of fermented foods have been explored to date. We herein review the recent knowledge on the dysbiotic gut microbiota linking to major gut inflammatory diseases. Also, evidences that fermented food consumption modulates the gut microbiota, and its impact on the gut inflammation and inflammatory diseases have been discussed. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Germination time is a critical factor that influences the digestibility and bioactivity of proteins in pulses. The objective was to understand the effect of sprouting time on protein hydrolysis (PH) and the release of bioactive peptides during digestion of lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) to provide recommendations on the optimum germination time for maximum nutritional and health benefits. Protein hydrolysis was monitored during germination and digestion by gel electrophoresis, size exclusion chromatography, and the analysis of soluble protein (SP), peptides (PEP), free amino acids (FAA) and free amino groups. The anti-inflammatory activity of intestinal digests was investigated in cell culture assays. Peptidomic and in silico analyses of intestinal digesta were conducted to identify digestion-resistant bioactive fragments. Germination time increased SP, PEP, and FAA. During digestion, the PH and release of small peptides was higher in sprouted lupin than control flour. Intestinal digests from sprouted lupin flour for 7 days exhibited the highest anti-inflammatory activity. In this sample, 11 potential bioactive peptides were identified. These findings open the exploration of novel food formulations based on sprouted lupins with higher protein digestibility and health-promoting potential.

A comparative study of the digestion behavior and functionality of protein from chia ( Salvia hispanica L.) ingredients and protein fractions. Curr Res Food Sci 2024; 8:100684. [PMID: 38323027 PMCID: PMC10845256 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2024.100684] [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: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024] Open
Abstract
Protein derived from chia (Salvia hispanica L.), characterized by a balanced amino acid composition, represents a potentially healthier and environmentally friendly alternative poised for innovation within the plant-based food sector. It was hypothesized that the growing location of chia seeds and processing techniques used might influence protein digestion patterns, which in turn could affect the biological functions of the digestion products. To examine this hypothesis, we assessed the gastrointestinal fate of degummed-defatted flour (DDF), protein concentrate (PC), and isolated albumin (Alb) and globulin (Glo) fractions. Furthermore, we compared the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of the resulting digesta by means of in vitro and cellular assays. Post-gastrointestinal digestion, the PC exhibited elevated levels of soluble protein (7.6 and 6.3 % for Mexican and British PC, respectively) and peptides (24.8 and 27.9 %, respectively) of larger molecular sizes compared to DDF, Alb, and Glo. This can be attributed to differences in the extraction/fractionation processes. Leucine was found to be the most prevalent amino acids in all chia digesta. Such variations in the digestive outcomes of chia protein components significantly influenced the bioactivity of the intestinal digestates. During gastrointestinal transit, British Glo exhibited the best reactive oxygen species (ROS) inhibition activity in oxidative-stressed RAW264.7 macrophages, while Mexican digesta outperformed British samples in terms of ROS inhibition within the oxidative-stressed Caco-2 cells. Additionally, both Mexican and British Alb showed effectively anti-inflammatory potential, with keratinocyte chemoattractant (KC) inhibition rate of 82 and 91 %, respectively. Additionally, Mexican PC and Alb generally demonstrated an enhanced capacity to mitigate oxidative stress and inflammatory conditions in vitro. These findings highlight the substantial potential of chia seeds as functional food ingredients, resonating with the shifting preferences of health-conscious consumers.

Abstract
Many food-derived peptides have the potential to improve brain health and slow down neurodegeneration. Peptides are produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis of proteins from different food sources. These peptides have been shown to be involved in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, neuro-transmission modulation, and gene expression regulation. Although few peptides directly affect chromatin remodeling and histone alterations, others indirectly affect the neuroprotection process by interfering with epigenetic changes. Fish-derived peptides have shown neuroprotective properties that reduce oxidative stress and improve motor dysfunction in Parkinson's disease models. Peptides from milk and eggs have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties that reduce inflammation and improve cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease models. These peptides are potential therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases, but more study is required to assess their efficacy and the underlying neuroprotective benefits. Consequently, this review concentrated on each mechanism of action used by food-derived peptides that have neuroprotective advantages and applications in treating neurodegenerative diseases. This article highlights various pathways, such as inflammatory pathways, major oxidant pathways, apoptotic pathways, neurotransmitter modulation, and gene regulation through which food-derived peptides interact at the cellular level.

Abstract
Inflammation is a biological response to harmful stimuli, aiding in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. However, excessive or persistent inflammation can precipitate a myriad of pathological conditions. Although current treatments such as NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants are effective, they can have side effects and resistance issues. In this backdrop, anti-inflammatory peptides (AIPs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic approach against inflammation. Leveraging machine learning methods, we have the opportunity to accelerate the discovery and investigation of these AIPs more effectively. In this study, we proposed an advanced framework by ensemble machine learning and deep learning for AIP prediction. Initially, we constructed three individual models with extremely randomized trees (ET), gated recurrent unit (GRU), and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with attention mechanism and then used stacking architecture to build the final predictor. By utilizing various sequence encodings and combining the strengths of different algorithms, our predictor demonstrated exemplary performance. On our independent test set, our model achieved an accuracy, MCC, and F1-score of 0.757, 0.500, and 0.707, respectively, clearly outperforming other contemporary AIP prediction methods. Additionally, our model offers profound insights into the feature interpretation of AIPs, establishing a valuable knowledge foundation for the design and development of future anti-inflammatory strategies.

Abstract
Whey protein hydrolysate from Binglangjiang buffalo, a unique genetic resource, has anti-inflammatory activity, but its anti-inflammatory composition and effects are unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory peptides from Binglangjiang buffalo whey protein hydrolysate. A total of 1483 peptides were identified using LC-MS/MS, and 12 peptides were chosen for chemical synthesis using peptidomics, and then two novel anti-inflammatory peptides (DQPFFHYN (DN8) and YSPFSSFPR (YR9)) were screened out using LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. The molecular weights of DN8 and YR9 with β-turn conformations were 1067.458 Da and 1087.52 Da, respectively, and showed a high in-vitro safety profile and thermal stability, but were intolerant to pepsin. Furthermore, ELISA and Western blot analysis indicated that peptides DN8 and YR9 significantly suppressed the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines NO, TNF-α, and IL-6 and the expression of mediators iNOS, TNF-α, and IL-6 in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. The study provides insights into the development of novel food-based anti-inflammatory nutritional supplements.

Abstract
This study explores the protective properties and potential mechanisms of wheat-germ-derived peptide APEPEPAF (APE) against ulcerative colitis. Colitis mice induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) were used as the animal model. The results showed that the APE peptide could alleviate colitis symptoms including weight loss, colon shortening, and histopathological changes. This peptide attenuated the generation of inflammatory cytokines by inhibiting the phosphorylation of protein kinase PKCζ (Thr410) and NF-κB transcriptional activity in DSS-induced mice, suggesting that APE ameliorates colitis inflammation by regulating the PKCζ/NF-κB signaling pathway. APE also preserved the barrier function of the colon by dose-dependently promoting the expression of tight junction proteins (claudin-1, zonula occluded-1, and occludin). In addition, APE significantly decreased the abundance of Bacteroides and increased the abundance of Dubosiella and Lachnospiraceae_UCG-006 to improve the intestinal flora imbalance in DSS-induced colitis mice. Therefore, wheat germ peptide APE can be used as a novel agent and dietary supplement to treat ulcerative colitis..

Abstract
Traditional natural products in China have a long history and a vast pharmacological repertoire that has garnered significant attention due to their safety and efficacy in disease prevention and treatment. Among the bioactive components of traditional natural products in China, bioactive peptides (BPs) are specific protein fragments that have beneficial effects on human health. Despite many of the traditional natural products in China ingredients being rich in protein, BPs have not received sufficient attention as a critical factor influencing overall therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive summary of the current methodologies for the preparation, isolation, and identification of BPs from traditional natural products in China and to classify the functions of discovered BPs. Insights from this review are expected to facilitate the development of targeted drugs and functional foods derived from traditional natural products in China in the future.

Abstract
Tilapia skin is a great source of collagen. Here, we aimed to isolate and identify the peptides responsible for combating dry eye disease (DED) in tilapia skin peptides (TSP). In vitro cell DED model was used to screen anti-DED peptides from TSP via Sephadex G-25 chromatography, LC/MS/MS, and in silico methods. The anti-DED activity of the screened peptide was further verified in the mice DED model. TSP was divided into five fractions (TSP-I, TSP-II, TSP-III, TSP-IV, and TSP-V), and TSP-II exerted an effective effect for anti-DED. A total of 131 peptides were identified using LC/MS/MS in TSP-II, and NGGPSGPR (NGG) was screened as a potential anti-DED fragment in TSP-II via in silico methods. In vitro, NGG restored cell viability and inhibited the expression level of Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) protein in Human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) induced by NaCl. In vivo, NGG increased tear production, decreased tear ferning score, prevented corneal epithelial thinning, alleviated conjunctival goblet cell loss, and inhibited the apoptosis of corneal epithelial cells in DED mice. Overall, NGG, as an anti-DED peptide, was successfully identified from TSP, and it may be devoted to functional food ingredients or medicine for DED.

Abstract
Contemporary scientific findings revealed that our daily food stuffs are enriched by encrypted bioactive peptides (BPs), evolved by peptide linkage of amino acids or encrypted from the native protein structures. Remarkable to these BPs lies in their potential health benefiting biological activities to serve as nutraceuticals or a lead addition to the development of functional foods. The biological activities of BPs vary depending on the sequence as well as amino acid composition. Existing database records approximately 3000 peptide sequences which possess potential biological activities such as antioxidants, antihypertensive, antithrombotic, anti-adipogenics, anti-microbials, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancerous. The growing evidences suggest that BPs have very low toxicity, higher accuracy, less tissue accretion, and are easily degraded in the disposed environment. BPs are nowadays evolved as biologically active molecules with potential scope to reduce microbial contamination as well as ward off oxidation of foods, amend diverse range of human diseases to enhance the overall quality of human life. Against the clinical and health perspectives of BPs, this review aimed to elaborate current evolution of nutritional potential of BPs, studies pertaining to overcome limitations with respect to special focus on emerging extraction, protection and delivery tools of BPs. In addition, the nano-delivery mechanism of BP and its clinical significance is detailed. The aim of current review is to augment the research in the field of BPs production, identification, characterisation and to speed up the investigation of the incredible potentials of BPs as potential nutritional and functional food ingredient.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the immunoenhancement effects of low molecular weight peptides (SCHPs-F1) from red shrimp (Solenocera crassicornis) head against cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced immunosuppressed mice. ICR mice were intraperitoneally injected with 80 mg/kg CTX for 5 consecutive days to establish the immunosuppressive model and then intragastrically administered with SCHPs-F1 (100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg, and 400 mg/kg) to investigate its improving effect on immunosuppressed mice and explore its potential mechanism using Western blot. SCHPs-F1 could effectively improve the spleen and thymus index, promoting serum cytokines and immunoglobulins production and upregulating the proliferative activity of splenic lymphocytes and peritoneal macrophages of the CTX-treated mice. Moreover, SCHPs-F1 could significantly promote the expression levels of related proteins in the NF-κB and MAPK pathways in the spleen tissues. Overall, the results suggested that SCHPs-F1 could effectively ameliorate the immune deficiency caused by CTX and had the potential to explore as an immunomodulator in functional foods or dietary supplements.

Abstract
Hempseed (Cannabis sativa) is one of the most promising sources of plant proteins. It contains approximately 24% (w/w) protein, and edestin accounts for approximately 60-80% (w/w) of its total proteins. In a framework of research aimed at fostering the proteins recovered from the press cake by-products generated after the extraction of hempseed oil, two hempseed protein hydrolysates (HH1 and HH2) were produced at an industrial level using a mixture of different enzymes from Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae, and Bacillus licheniformis for different times (5 h and 18 h). Using a combination of different direct antioxidant tests (DPPH, TEAC, FRAP, and ORAC assays, respectively), it has been demonstrated that HHs exert potent, direct antioxidant activity. A crucial feature of bioactive peptides is their intestinal bioavailability; for this reason, in order to solve this peculiar issue, the ability of HH peptides to be transported by differentiated human intestinal Caco-2 cells has been evaluated. Notably, by using mass spectrometry analysis (HPLC Chip ESI-MS/MS), the stable peptides transported by intestinal cells have been identified, and dedicated experiments confirmed that the trans-epithelial transported HH peptide mixtures retain their antioxidant activity, suggesting that these hempseed hydrolysates may be considered sustainable antioxidant ingredients to be exploited for further application, i.e., nutraceutical and/or food industries.

Abstract
Pearl oyster meat, a by-product of pearl production, is rich in protein, but has a low utilization rate. Our previous study showed that pearl oyster meat hydrolysates have potential anti-inflammatory activity. In this study, highly active peptides from pearl oyster meat hydrolysates were purified, identified, and extracted, and their anti-inflammatory activity was further investigated. A total of 206 peptides were identified, and three novel anti-inflammatory peptides, TWP (402.1903 Da), TAMY (484.1992 Da) and FPGA (390.1903 Da), were screened by molecular docking. The molecular docking results showed that TWP, TAMY and FPGA can bind to key regions in the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) active site. Furthermore, the three anti-inflammatory peptides can effectively regulate the release of inflammatory mediators from RAW264.7 macrophages by reducing the levels of nitric oxide (NO) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β), and increasing the production of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, showing great anti-inflammatory activity. This study provides a new theoretical reference for the development of functional foods or nutritional supplements with natural anti-inflammatory effects.

Abstract
Intestinal inflammatory diseases are increasingly prevalent worldwide, and their pathogenesis is still not fully understood. As of late, studies have discovered that food-derived peptides have specific anti-inflammatory activity and can play a positive role in intestinal health. At the same time, it has broad application prospects in the prevention and treatment of colitis because of its wide source, fast absorption, and high safety. This article reviews the structure-activity and quantity-effect relationships of food-derived peptides for their anti-inflammatory effects. It then discusses their mechanism of action in inhibiting colitis from four aspects. Food-derived anti-inflammatory peptides can delay the progression of the disease by stimulating innate immunity, inhibiting inflammation, and promoting wound healing. Further experiments showed that food-derived anti-inflammatory peptides could prevent and treat colitis through four mechanisms: (a) regulation of inflammatory cytokines; (b) regulation of inflammatory pathways; (c) regulation of intestinal epithelial barrier; (d) regulation of intestinal flora balance. However, due to the treatment of colitis having limitations, there is an urgent to develop food-derived anti-inflammatory peptides as a treatment or adjunctive treatment for colitis. This review highlights the positive effects of food-derived peptides on colitis and anticipates the appearance of mitigating peptides for the therapy of colitis.

Abstract
The unique processing technology of dry-cured meat products leads to strong proteolysis, which produces numerous peptides. The purpose of this investigation was the systematic isolation, purification, and identification of potentially cardioprotective bioactive peptides from dry-cured pork coppa during processing. According to the results of anti-platelet-activating factor acetyl hydrolase activity and radical scavenging ability in vitro, the inhibitory effect of M1F2 in purified fractions on cardiovascular inflammation was higher than that of M2F2. The peptide of M1F2 was identified by nano-liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 30 peptides were identified. Based on bioinformatics methods, including in silico analysis and molecular docking, LTDKPFL, VEAPPAKVP, KVPVPAPK, IPVPKK, and PIKRSP were identified as the most promising potential platelet-activating factor acetyl hydrolase inhibitory peptides. Overall, bioactive peptides produced during dry-cured pork coppa processing demonstrate positive effects on human health.

Abstract
In this study melt electro written (MEW) scaffolds of poly(ε-caprolactone) PCL are decorated with anti-inflammatory yeast-derived peptide for skin wound healing. Initially, 13 different yeast-derived peptides were screened and analyzed using both in vitro and in vivo assays. The MEW scaffolds are functionalized with the selected peptide VLSTSFPPW (VW-9) with the highest activity in reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines and stimulating fibroblast proliferation, migration, and collagen production. The peptide was conjugated to the MEW scaffolds using carbodiimide (CDI) and thiol chemistry, with and without plasma treatment, as well as by directly mixing the peptide with the polymer before printing. The MEW scaffolds modified using CDI and thiol chemistry with plasma treatment showed improved fibroblast and macrophage penetration and adhesion, as well as increased cell proliferation and superior anti-inflammatory properties, compared to the other groups. When applied to full-thickness excisional wounds in rats, the peptide-modified MEW scaffold significantly enhanced the healing process compared to controls (p < 0.05). This study provides proof of concept for using yeast-derived peptides to functionalize biomaterials for skin wound healing.

Abstract
The increasing need to counteract the redox imbalance in chronic diseases leads to focusing research on compounds with antioxidant activity. Among natural molecules with health-promoting effects on many body functions, bioactive peptides are gaining interest. They are protein fragments of 2–20 amino acids that can be released by various mechanisms, such as gastrointestinal digestion, food processing and microbial fermentation. Recent studies report the effects of bioactive peptides in the cellular environment, and there is evidence that these compounds can exert their action by modulating specific pathways. This review focuses on the newest approaches to the structure–function correlation of the antioxidant bioactive peptides, considering their molecular mechanism, by evaluating the activation of specific signaling pathways that are linked to antioxidant systems. The correlation between the results of in silico molecular docking analysis and the effects in a cellular model was highlighted. This knowledge is fundamental in order to propose the use of bioactive peptides as ingredients in functional foods or nutraceuticals.

Abstract
Dry-cured pork products, such as dry-cured ham, undergo an extensive proteolysis during manufacturing process which determines the organoleptic properties of the final product. As a result of endogenous pork muscle endo- and exopeptidases, many medium- and short-chain peptides are released from muscle proteins. Many of them have been isolated, identified, and characterized, and some peptides have been reported to exert relevant bioactivity with potential benefit for human health. However, little attention has been given to di- and tripeptides, which are far less known, although they have received increasing attention in recent years due to their high potential relevance in terms of bioactivity and role in taste development. This review gathers the current knowledge about di- and tripeptides, regarding their bioactivity and sensory properties and focusing on their generation during long-term processing such as dry-cured pork meats.

Abstract
Lactobacillus strains fermentation of broccoli as a good source of bioactive peptides has not been fully elucidated. In this work, the peptide composition of broccoli fermented by L. plantarum A3 and L. rhamnosus ATCC7469 was analyzed by peptidomics to study the protein digestion patterns after fermentation by different strains. Results showed that water-soluble proteins such as rubisco were abundant sources of peptides, which triggered the sustained release of peptides as the main target of hydrolysis. In addition, 17 novel anti-inflammatory peptides were identified by virtual screening. Among them, SIWYGPDRP had the strongest ability to inhibit the release of NO from inflammatory cells at a concentration of 25 μM with an inhibition rate of 52.32 ± 1.48%. RFR and KASFAFAGL had the strongest inhibitory effects on the secretion of TNF-α and IL-6, respectively. At a concentration of 25 μM, the corresponding inhibition rates were 74.61 ± 1.68% and 29.84 ± 0.63%, respectively. Molecular docking results showed that 17 peptides formed hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions with inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). This study is conducive to the high-value utilization of broccoli and reduction of the antibiotic use.

Abstract
Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas), an abundant bivalve consumed across the Pacific, is known to possess a wide range of bioactivities. While there has been some work on its bioactive hydrolysates, the discovery of bioactive peptides (BAPs) remains limited due to the resource-intensive nature of the existing discovery pipeline. To overcome this constraint, in silico-based prospecting is employed to accelerate BAP discovery. Major oyster proteins were digested virtually under a simulated gastrointestinal condition to generate virtual peptide products that were screened against existing databases for peptide bioactivities, toxicity, bitterness, stability in the intestine and in the blood, and novelty. Five peptide candidates were shortlisted showing antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, antimicrobial, and anticancer potential. By employing this approach, oyster BAPs were identified at a faster rate, with a wider applicability reach. With the growing market for peptide-based nutraceuticals, this provides an efficient workflow for candidate scouting and end-use investigation for targeted functional product preparation.

Abstract
Legumes are a staple of diets all around the world. In some least developed countries, they are the primary source of protein; however, their beneficial properties go beyond their nutritional value. Recent research has shown that legumes have bioactive compounds like peptides, polyphenols and saponins, which exhibit antioxidant, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory and other biological activities. Thus, these compounds could be an alternative treatment for inflammatory diseases, in particular, chronic inflammation such as arthritis, obesity and cancer. Nowadays, there is a growing interest in alternative therapies derived from natural products; accordingly, the present review has compiled the bioactive compounds found in legumes that have demonstrated an anti-inflammatory effect in non-clinical studies.

Abstract
Inflammation is the response of the immune system to harmful stimuli such as tissue injury, infection or toxic chemicals, which has the aim of eliminating irritants or pathogenic microorganisms and enhancing tissue repair. Uncontrolled long-lasting acute inflammation can gradually progress to chronic, causing a variety of chronic inflammatory diseases that are usually treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, but most of them are inadequate to control chronic responses and are also associated with adverse side effects. Thus, many efforts are being directed to develop alternative and more selective anti-inflammatory therapies from natural products. One main field of interest is the obtaining of bioactive peptides exhibiting anti-inflammatory activity from sustainable protein sources like edible insects or agroindustry and fishing by-products. This work highlighted the structure-activity relationship of anti-inflammatory peptides. Small peptides with molecular weight under 1 kDa and amino acid chain length between 2 to 20 residues are generally the most active because of the higher probability to be absorbed in the intestine and penetrate into cells when compared with the larger size peptides. The presence of hydrophobic (Val, Ile, Pro) and positively charged (His, Arg, Lys) amino acids is another common occurrence for anti-inflammatory peptides. Interestingly, a high percentage (77%) of these bioactive peptides can be found in alternative sustainable protein sources such as Tenebrio molitor or sunflower, apart from its original protein source. However, not all of these peptides with anti-inflammatory potential in vitro achieve good scores by the in silico bioactivity predictors studied. Therefore, it is essential to implement current bioinformatics tools, in order to complement in vitro experiments with prior prediction of potential bioactive peptides.

Abstract
Potential anti-inflammatory effects of ark shell (Scapharca subcrenata) protein hydrolysates were investigated. Ark shell protein hydrolysates were prepared using Alcalase® and pepsin and were designated ASAH and ASPH, respectively. The nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory activity of ASAH and ASPH was determined in lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 murine macrophages, and the results showed that ASAH inhibited better NO inhibitory activity than ASPH. ASAH suppressed inflammatory mediator, a prostaglandin E2, secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6), and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) dose dependently. It inhibited the protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and simulated heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protein expression. However, the pharmacological approach revealed that pretreatment with zinc protoporphyrin ІX (ZnPP), an inhibitor of HO-1, reversed the anti-inflammatory effect of ASAH. Moreover, ASAH upregulated phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) including ERK1/2, JNK1/2, and p38 MAPK. To find out the role of MAPKs phosphorylation, MAPKs inhibitors were used, and the results showed that ASAH-mediated HO-1 protein expression and Nrf2 nuclear translocation were abolished. Taken all together, this study revealed that ASAH has a potential anti-inflammatory activity through regulation of the MAPK-dependent HO-1/Nrf2 pathway. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Food-derived marine bioactive peptides, due to their pivotal role in biological activities, are gaining much attention recently. However, the anti-inflammatory activities of ark shell protein hydrolysates still remain to be investigated. This study investigated that ASAH shows potential anti-inflammatory activities through regulation of the MAPK-dependent HO-1/Nrf2 pathway in RAW264.7 murine macrophages. These findings indicated that ASAH may be used as a dietary supplement, functional food, and medicinal drug for the management of inflammation and inflammation-associated diseases.

[PMID: 36501097 PMCID: PMC9741451 DOI: 10.3390/nu14235067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
During the thermal processing of dairy products, the Maillard reaction occurs between milk proteins and lactose, resulting in the formation of various products including glycated proteins. In this study, lactose-glycated casein was generated through the Maillard reaction between casein and lactose and then hydrolyzed by a trypsin preparation. The anti-inflammatory effect of the resultant glycated casein hydrolysate (GCH) was investigated using the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-sitmulated rat intestinal epithelial (IEC-6) cells as a cell model and corresponding casein hydrolysate (CH) as a control. The results indicated that the preformed glycation enabled lactose conjugation to casein, which endowed GCH with a lactose content of 12.61 g/kg protein together with a lower activity than CH to enhance the viability value of the IEC-6 cells. The cells with LPS stimulation showed significant inflammatory responses, while a pre-treatment of the cells with GCH before LPS stimulation consistently led to a decreased secretion of three pro-inflammatory mediators, namely, IL-6, IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) but an increased secretion of two anti-inflammatory mediators, including IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), demonstrating the anti-inflammatory potential of GCH in LPS-stimulated cells. In addition, GCH up-regulated the expression of TLR4, p-p38, and p-p65 proteins in the stimulated cells, resulting in the suppression of NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways. Collectively, GCH was mostly less efficient than CH to exert these assessed anti-inflammatory activities in the cells and more importantly, GCH also showed an ability to cause cell inflammation by promoting IL-6 secretion and up-regulating the expression of TLR4 and p-p65. The casein lactose-glycation of the Maillard-type was thereby concluded to attenuate the anti-inflammatory potential of the resultant casein hydrolysate. It is highlighted that the casein lactose-glycation of the Maillard-type might cause a negative impact on the bioactivity of casein in the intestine, because the glycated casein after digestion could release GCH with reduced anti-inflammatory activity.

Cell Proteins Obtained by Peptic Shaving of Two Phenotypically Different Strains of Streptococcus thermophilus as a Source of Anti-Inflammatory Peptides. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14224777. [PMID: 36432464 PMCID: PMC9695010 DOI: 10.3390/nu14224777] [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: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Streptococcus thermophilus, a food grade bacterium, is extensively used in the manufacture of fermented products such as yogurt and cheeses. It has been shown that S. thermophilus strains exhibited varying anti-inflammatory activities in vitro. Our previous study displayed that this activity could be partially due to peptide(s) generated by trypsin hydrolysis of the surface proteins of S. thermophilus LMD-9. Surface protease PrtS could be the source of these peptides during gastrointestinal digestion. Therefore, peptide hydrolysates were obtained by shaving two phenotypically distinct strains of S. thermophilus (LMD-9 PrtS+ and CNRZ-21N PrtS-) with pepsin, a gastric protease, followed or not by trypsinolysis. The peptide hydrolysates of both strains exhibited anti-inflammatory action through the modulation of pro-inflammatory mediators in LPS-stimulated THP-1 macrophages (COX-2, Pro-IL-1β, IL-1β, and IL-8) and LPS-stimulated HT-29 cells (IL-8). Therefore, peptides released from either PrtS+ or PrtS- strains in the gastrointestinal tract during digestion of a product containing this bacterium may display anti-inflammatory effects and reduce the risk of inflammation-related chronic diseases.

Abstract
Tripeptide IRW derived from egg ovotransferrin was initially identified to be an inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme. Later, IRW has been shown to possess various bioactivities, including anti-inflammatory activity and the ability to suppress colitis development. Nevertheless, its role in protecting intestinal barrier integrity has not been reported. This study aims to investigate the effect of IRW on inhibiting intestinal barrier dysfunction and inflammation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated Caco-2 cells. Pretreatment with IRW could mitigate the LPS-induced reduction of transepithelial electronic resistance values and decrease the paracellular permeation of differentiated Caco-2 cell monolayers. Meanwhile, IRW restored the expression level and cell surface distribution of the tight junction protein occludin. Furthermore, IRW showed LPS-neutralizing activity and could significantly inhibit LPS-induced activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways. In conclusion, our study demonstrated the ability of IRW to prevent LPS-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction and prohibit inflammatory responses.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis is a typical chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, which has become a serious hazard to human health. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the antagonistic effect of corn protein hydrolysate with glutamine-rich peptides on ulcerative colitis. The sequential hydrolysis of corn gluten meal by Alcalase and Protamex was conducted to prepare the hydrolysate, and then the mouse ulcerative colitis model induced by dextran sulfate sodium was applied to evaluate its biological activities. The results indicated that the hydrolysate significantly improved weight loss (p < 0.05), reduced the colonic shortening and the disease activity index, diminished the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the colonic tissue, and reduced the permeability of the colonic mucosa in mice. In addition, the hydrolysate decreased the contents of pro-inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, increased the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 and oxidative stress markers GSH-Px and SOD in the animal tests. Moreover, the hydrolysate also regulated the abundance and diversity of the intestinal microbiota, improved the microbiota structure, and increased the content of beneficial bacteria including Lactobacillus and Pediococcus. These results indicated that the hydrolysate might be used as an alternative natural product for the prevention of ulcerative colitis and could be further developed into a functional food.

Abstract
Bioactive peptides are found in foods and dietary supplements and are responsible for health benefits with applications in human and animal medicine. The health benefits include antihypertensive, antimicrobial, antithrombotic, immunomodulatory, opioid, antioxidant, anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory functions. Bioactive peptides can be obtained by microbial action, mainly by the gastrointestinal microbiota from proteins present in food, originating from either vegetable or animal matter or by the action of different gastrointestinal proteases. Proteomics can play an important role in the identification of bioactive peptides. High-resolution mass spectrometry is the principal technique used to detect and identify different types of analytes present in complex mixtures, even when available at low concentrations. Moreover, proteomics may provide the characterization of epitopes to develop new food allergy vaccines and the use of immunomodulating peptides to induce oral tolerance toward offending food allergens or even to prevent allergic sensitization. In addition, food-derived bioactive peptides have been investigated for their anti-inflammatory properties to provide safer alternatives to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). All these bioactive peptides can be a potential source of novel drugs and ingredients in food and pharmaceuticals. The following review is focused on food-derived bioactive peptides with antiallergic and anti-inflammatory properties and summarizes the new insights into the use of proteomics for their identification and quantification.
