Fan H, Li R, Zhang Y, Xu X, Pan S, Liu F. Effect of H 2O 2/ascorbic acid degradation and gradient ethanol precipitation on the physicochemical properties and biological activities of pectin polysaccharides from Satsuma Mandarin. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 280:135843. [PMID: 39306161 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2024] [Revised: 09/13/2024] [Accepted: 09/18/2024] [Indexed: 10/01/2024]
Abstract
In this work, three degraded polysaccharides (DMPP-40, DMPP-60, DMPP-80) were successfully obtained by H2O2/ascorbic acid degradation and gradient ethanol precipitation from Satsuma mandarin peel pectin (MPP), and their physicochemical properties, antioxidant and prebiotic activities were investigated. The molecular weight of MPP, DMPP-40, DMPP-60, DMPP-80 were determined to be 336.83 ± 10.57, 18.93 ± 0.54, 26.07 ± 0.83 and 8.71 ± 0.27 kDa, respectively. The ethanol concentration significantly affected the physicochemical properties of DMPPs. DMPP-60 showed the highest yield (69.07 %) and uronic acid content (64.85 %), DMPP-80 showed the lowest molecular weight (8.71 kDa), and the composition and proportion of monosaccharides of DMPPs were significantly different. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR) confirmed that DMPPs exhibited similar functional groups, while X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that DMPP-40 possessed some crystallographic sequences. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images directly verified the fragmented structure and reduced surface area of DMPPs. Besides, the H2O2/ascorbic acid treatment could obviously reduce the apparent viscosity and thermal stability of MPP. Meanwhile, the results of bioactivity assay showed that DMPPs possessed better antioxidant activity and probiotics pro-proliferative effects compared with MPP. DMPP-80 could significantly inhibit lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-stimulated production of inflammatory factors (including nitric oxide (NO), interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β) in RAW264.7 cells. Results suggest that the H2O2/ascorbic acid combined with gradient ethanol precipitation has potential applications in degradation and separation of MPP to improve its biological activities.

[PMID: 38997543 PMCID: PMC11330397 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-024-07061-9] [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: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 06/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diagnosing juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is challenging. Our study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of anti-α-1,4-D-polygalacturonic acid (PGA) antibodies in JIA, focusing on their role in diagnosis and assessing disease activity. METHODS In this prospective case-control study, we examined variations in serum levels of PGA-IgA and PGA-IgG among children with different types of JIA and healthy controls. Serum PGA-IgA and PGA-IgG levels were assessed concurrently in children with active and inactive JIA. RESULTS This study included 126 patients diagnosed with JIA, 13 neonates, and 76 healthy children. Serum PGA-IgA and PGA-IgG levels were assessed, which revealed significant differences in PGA-IgA levels between various JIA subtypes and controls. An analysis of PGA-IgA levels in various JIA states revealed a statistically significant difference. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis demonstrated the robust predictive capability of PGA-IgA, with an AUC of 0.879 (p < 0.001), along with a specificity of 0.842 and sensitivity of 0.848. CONCLUSION Increased levels of anti-PGA antibodies, particularly PGA-IgA, were significantly associated with JIA. PGA-IgA may serve as a sensitive biomarker for disease activity in JIA and could potentially aid in the diagnosis of JIA. Key Points • This study found a significant correlation between blood levels of PGA-IgA and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), which may provide valuable diagnostic insights. • PGA-IgA shows potential as a sensitive biomarker for the assessment of disease activity in JIA patients, helping to determine disease activity.

Influence of natural polysaccharides on the morphology and properties of hybrid vaterite microcrystals. Heliyon 2024; 10:e33801.

Abstract
Co-precipitation of biopolymers into calcium carbonate crystals changes their physicochemical and biological properties. This work studies hybrid microcrystals of vaterite obtained in the presence of natural polysaccharides, as carriers for the delivery of proteins and enzymes. Hybrid microcrystals with dextran sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, heparin, fucoidan, and pectin were obtained and compared. The impact of polysaccharides on the morphology (particle diameter, surface area, nanocrystallite and pore size), polysaccharide content and surface charge of hybrid microcrystals was studied. Only microcrystals with fucoidan and heparin exhibited antioxidant activity against •ОН radical. The surface charge and pore size of the hybrid microcrystals affected the sorption of albumin, catalase, chymotrypsin, mucin. A decrease in the catalytic constant and Michaelis constant was observed for catalase sorbed on the hybrid crystals. The biocompatibility of microcrystals depended on the nature of the included polysaccharide: crystals with sulfated polysaccharides increased blood plasma coagulation but not platelet aggregation, and crystals with dextran sulfate had the greatest cytotoxicity against HT-29 cells but not erythrocytes. Hybrid microcrystals with all polysaccharides except chondroitin sulfate reduced erythrocyte lysis in vitro compared with vaterite crystals. The obtained results enable to create novel carriers based on hybrid vaterite crystals with polysaccharides, beneficial for the delivery of protein drugs.

An Isofibrous Diet with Fiber Konjac Glucomannan Ameliorates Salmonella typhimurium-Induced Colonic Injury by Regulating TLR2-NF-κB Signaling and Intestinal Microbiota in Mice.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that dietary konjac glucomannan (KGM) could alleviate Salmonella typhimurium-induced colitis by modulating intestinal microbiota. Mice were fed an isocaloric and isofibrous diet supplemented with either 7% KGM or cellulose and were treated with 5 × 108 CFU of S. typhimurium. The results showed that KGM had an average molecular weight of 936 kDa and predominantly consisted of mannose and glucose at a molar ratio of 1:1.22. In vivo studies demonstrated that dietary KGM effectively mitigated colonic lesions, oxidative stress, disruption of tight junction protein 2 and occludin, and the inflammatory response induced by S. typhimurium. Moreover, KGM administration alleviated the dramatic upregulation of toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and phosphonuclear factor κB (NF-κB) protein abundance, induced by Salmonella treatment. Notably, dietary KGM restored the reduced Muribaculaceae and Lactobacillus abundance and increased the abundance of Blautia and Salmonella in S. typhimurium-infected mice. Spearman correlation analysis revealed that the gut microbiota improved by KGM contribute to inhibit inflammation and oxidative stress. These results demonstrated the protective effects of dietary KGM against colitis by modulating the gut microbiota and the TLR2-NF-κB signaling pathway in response to Salmonella infection.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) comprises a group of highly prevalent and chronic inflammatory intestinal tract diseases caused by multiple factors. Despite extensive research into the causes of the disease, IBD's pathogenic mechanisms remain unclear. Moreover, side effects of current IBD therapies restrict their long-term clinical use. In contrast, natural polysaccharides exert beneficial anti-IBD effects and offer advantages over current anti-IBD drugs, including enhanced safety and straightforward isolation from abundant and reliable sources, and thus may serve as components of functional foods and health products for use in IBD prevention and treatment. However, few reviews have explored natural polysaccharides with anti-IBD activities or the relationship between polysaccharide conformation and anti-IBD biological activity. Therefore, this review aims to summarize anti-IBD activities and potential clinical applications of polysaccharides isolated from plant, animal, microorganismal, and algal sources, while also exploring the relationship between polysaccharide conformation and anti-IBD bioactivity for the first time. Furthermore, potential mechanisms underlying polysaccharide anti-IBD effects are summarized, including intestinal microbiota modulation, intestinal inflammation alleviation, and intestinal barrier protection from IBD-induced damage. Ultimately, this review provides a theoretical foundation and valuable insights to guide the development of natural polysaccharide-containing functional foods and nutraceuticals for use as dietary IBD therapies.

Abstract
Gut epithelial barrier disruption is commonly observed in Western diseases like diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Enhanced epithelial permeability triggers inflammatory responses and gut microbiota dysbiosis. Reduced bacterial diversity in IBD affects gut microbiota metabolism, altering microbial products such as secondary bile acids (BAs), which potentially play a role in gut barrier regulation and immunity. Dietary fibers such as pectin may substitute effects of these BAs. The study examines transepithelial electrical resistance of gut epithelial T84 cells and the gene expression of tight junctions after exposure to (un)sulfated secondary BAs. This is compared to the impact of the dietary fiber pectin with different degrees of methylation (DM) and blockiness (DB), with disruption induced by calcium ionophore A23187 under both normal and hyperglycemic conditions. Unsulfated lithocholic acid (LCA) and deoxycholic acid (DCA) show a stronger rescuing effect, particularly evident under 20 mM glucose levels. DM19 with high DB (HB) and DM43HB pectin exhibit rescuing effects under both glucose conditions. Notably, DM19HB and DM43HB display higher rescue effects under 20 mM glucose compared to 5 mM glucose. The study demonstrates that specific pectins such as DM19HB and DM43HB may serve as alternatives for preventing barrier disruption in the case of disturbed DCA metabolism.

Abstract
AbstractPectin is a complex polysaccharide found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. It has been shown to have potential antidiabetic activity along with other biological activities, including cholesterol-lowering properties, antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory and immune-modulatory effects, augmented healing of diabetic foot ulcers and other health benefits. There are several pectin-associated antidiabetic mechanisms, such as the regulation of glucose metabolism, reduction of oxidative stress, increased insulin sensitivity, appetite suppression and modulation of the gut microbiome. Studies have shown that pectin supplementation has antidiabetic effects in different animal models and in vitro. In human studies, pectin has been found to have a positive effect on blood glucose control, particularly in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Pectin also shows synergistic effects by enhancing the potency and efficacy of antidiabetic drugs when taken together. In conclusion, pectin has the potential to be an effective antidiabetic agent. However, further research is needed to fully understand its detailed molecular mechanisms in various animal models, functional food formulations and safety profiles for the treatment and management of diabetes and associated complications in humans. The current study was carried out to provide the critical approach towards therapeutical potential, anti-diabetic potential and underlying molecular mechanisms on the basis of existing knowledge.

Abstract
Probiotics have recently received significant attention due to their various benefits, such as the modulation of gut flora, reduction of blood sugar and insulin resistance, prevention and treatment of digestive disorders, and strengthening of the immune system. One of the major issues concerning probiotics is the maintenance of their viability in the presence of digestive conditions and extended shelf life during storage. To address this concern, numerous techniques have been explored to achieve success. Among these methods, the microencapsulation of probiotics has been proposed as the most effective way to overcome this challenge. The combination of nanomaterials with biopolymer coating is considered a novel approach to improve its viability and effective delivery. The use of polysaccharides and proteins-based bionanocomposites for microencapsulation of probiotics has emerged as an efficient and promising approach for maintaining cell viability and targeted delivery. This review article aims to investigate the use of different bionanocomposites in microencapsulation of probiotics and their effect on cell survival in long-term storage and harsh conditions in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
Pectin has been extensively studied in animal immunity, and exogenous pectin as a food additive can provide protection against inflammatory bowel disease. However, the utility of pectin to improve immunity in plants is still unstudied. Here, we found exogenous application of pectin triggered stomatal closure in Arabidopsis in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Additionally, pectin activated peroxidase and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which subsequently increased cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+ ]cyt ) and was followed by nitric oxide (NO) production, leading to stomatal closure in an abscisic acid (ABA) and salicylic acid (SA) signalling-dependent mechanism. Furthermore, pectin enhanced the disease resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst DC3000) with mitogen-activated protein kinases (MPKs) MPK3/6 activated and upregulated expression of defence-responsive genes in Arabidopsis. These results suggested that exogenous pectin-induced stomatal closure was associated with ROS and NO production regulated by ABA and SA signalling, contributing to defence against Pst DC3000 in Arabidopsis.

Abstract
Pectins, a class of dietary fibers abundant in vegetables and fruits, have drawn considerable interest due to their potential anti-inflammatory properties. Numerous studies have indicated that incorporating pectins into infant formula could be a safe strategy for alleviating infant regurgitation and diarrhea. Moreover, pectins have been shown to modulate cytokine production, macrophage activity, and NF-kB expression, all contributing to their anti-inflammatory effects. Despite this promising evidence, the exact mechanisms through which pectins exert these functions and how their structural characteristics influence these processes remain largely unexplored. This knowledge is particularly significant in the context of gut inflammation in developing preterm babies, a critical aspect of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and in children and adults dealing with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Our mini review aims to provide an up-to-date compilation of relevant research on the effects of pectin on gut immune responses, specifically focusing on preterms and newborns. By shedding light on the underlying mechanisms and implications of pectin-mediated anti-inflammatory properties, this review seeks to advance our knowledge in this area and pave the way for future research and potential therapeutic interventions.

Carbohydr Polym 2024; 323:121368. [PMID: 37940266 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2023] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
Hydrocolloids are important food additives and have potential regulatory effects on gut microbiota. The development of colitis is closely related to changes in gut microbiota. The effect of food hydrocolloids on the structure of the gut microbiota and their impact on colitis has not been well investigated. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of four hydrocolloids (carrageenan, guar gum, xanthan gum, and pectin) on colitis, and explored their regulatory effects on gut microbiota. The results indicated that pectin and guar effectively alleviated body weight loss and disease activity index, reduced inflammatory cytokine levels, and promoted short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production. They increased the abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila, Oscillospira, and Lactobacillus, and Akkermansia abundance had a negative correlation with the severity of colitis. In contrast, carrageenan and xanthan gum did not significantly improve colitis, and carrageenan reduced the production of SCFAs. Both carrageenan and xanthan gum increased the abundance of Ruminococcus gnavus, and Ruminococcus abundance was positively correlated with the severity of colitis. These findings suggest that food additives have an impact on host health and provide guidance for the diet of patients with colitis.

Abstract
The brain and the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are important sensory organs in the body and the two-way interaction that exists between them regulates key physiological and homeostatic functions. A growing body of research suggests that this bidirectional communication influences the development and progression of functional GI disorders and plays an important role in the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a classic intestinal disorder with a high prevalence but still unclear pathogenesis that has been widely discussed in recent years. However, in the studies available to date, we find that many authors have chosen to discuss the influence of the brain on intestinal disorders from the top down, starting with physical and psychological disorders. Coming very naturally, based on these substantial research evidence, we focus on exploring the links between bidirectional communication in the gut-brain axis and IBD, and highlight the role of the gut microbiota, vagus nerve (VN), receptors and immune cells involved in regulating IBD through the gut-brain axis in this review.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can cause intestinal microbial imbalance and aggravate intestinal inflammation. Mixed fructan is more easily fermented by colonic microorganisms and can be used as colonic drug delivery materials. Here, we constructed a mixed fructan based nanoparticle with dual targeted stimulation of pH and intestinal flora to effectively deliver berberine for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). The complex of fructan based nanoparticle and berberine (BBRNPs) significantly ameliorated the inflammatory response of sodium dextran sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice by inhibiting the activation of NF-κB/STAT-3 pathway and increasing tight junction protein expression in vivo. Importantly, BBRNPs improved the responsiveness of colitis microbiome and effectively regulated the relative homeostasis of harmful flora Enterobacteriaceae and Escherichia-shigolla, and beneficial flora Ruminococcaceae and Akkermansiaceae. This study provides a promising strategy for the effective treatment of UC and expands the application of branched fructan in pharmaceutics.

Protective effects of macromolecular polyphenols, metals (zinc, selenium, and copper) - Polyphenol complexes, and different organs with an emphasis on arsenic poisoning: A review. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126715. [PMID: 37673136 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/03/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
For the potential health benefits and nutritional value, polyphenols are one of the secondary metabolites of plants that have received extensive research. It has anti-inflammatory and cytotoxicity-reducing properties in addition to a high antioxidant content. Macromolecular polyphenols and polysaccharides are biologically active natural polymers with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential. Arsenic is an ecologically toxic metalloid. Arsenic in drinking water is the most common way people come into contact with this metalloid. While arsenic is known to cause cancer, it is also used to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). The treatment's effectiveness is hampered by the adverse effects it can cause on the body. Oxidative stress, inflammation, and the inability to regulate cell death cause the most adverse effects. Polyphenols and other macromolecules like polysaccharides act as neuroprotectants by mitigating free radical damage, inhibiting nitric oxide (NO) production, lowering A42 fibril formation, boosting antioxidant levels, and controlling apoptosis and inflammation. To prevent the harmful effects of toxins, polyphenols and pectin lower oxidative stress, boost antioxidant levels, improve mitochondrial function, control apoptosis, and suppress inflammation. Therefore, it prevents damage to the heart, liver, kidneys, and reproductive system. This review aims to identify the effects of the polyphenols in conjugation with polysaccharides as an ameliorative strategy for arsenic-induced toxicity in various organs.

Abstract
Pectic polysaccharides modulate gut fermentation ability, which is determined by structural characteristics. In this work, apple pectins were extracted by HCl (HAEP), NaOH (AEP), cellulase (EAEP), and in parallel cell wall pectic fractions were sequentially extracted by water (WEP), chelator (CEP) and NaOH (NEP). The aim is to comprehensively compare the impact of extraction on pectin structure and gut fermentation behavior. Results showed that high content of galacturonic acid (90.65 mol%) and large molecular weight (675 kg/mol) were detected in the HAEP. Molecular morphology of the HAEP presented high linearity, while AEP, EAEP and WEP exhibited compact filamentous structures with highly branched patterns. The AEP was characterized by high yield (33.1 g/100 g d.b.), moderate molecular weight (304 kg/mol) and large extent of rhamnogalacturonan-I region (24.88 %) with low degree of branching (1.77). After in vitro simulated gut fermentation for 24 h, total content of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) generated with the AEP supplement increased to 36.8 mmol/L, followed by EAEP, HAEP and WEP (25.2, 24.2 and 20.3 mmol/L, respectively). Meanwhile, WEP simultaneously produced the highest ammonia content (22.4 mmol/L). This investigation suggests that the fermentation of AEP produces more beneficial SCFA and less ammonia, thus indicating a better gut fermentation property.

Abstract
The role of dietary pectin on microbial-induced colitis, oxidative status, barrier function, and microbial composition, as well as the underlying mechanisms, is scarce. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether dietary pectin alleviates Salmonella typhimurium-induced colitis in mice. Male C57BL/6J mice fed an isocaloric and isofibrous diet with 7% pectin or cellulose were administered sterile water or Salmonella typhimurium to induce colitis, which is equal to a human food dose of 0.57% (5.68 g/kg). Dietary pectin alleviated Salmonella typhimurium-induced colitis and oxidative stress as shown by the reduced disease activity index score, decreased colon shortening and histological damage score, colonic hydrogen peroxide, malondialdehyde concentrations, and relative mRNA expressions of coenzyme Q-binding protein COQ10 homologue B (Coq10b), Ccl-2, Ccl-3, Ccl-8, Tnf-α, Il-1β, Ifn-γ, Ifn-β, and serum TNF-α protein level. Moreover, pectin administration ameliorated the downregulated colonic abundances of occludin, zonula occludens-1, zonula occludens-2, and the upregulated abundances of TLR2 and p-NF-κB in Salmonella-infected mice. Additionally, 16S rRNA analysis demonstrated that pectin altered the microbial beta-diversity and reduced Salmonella levels. Collectively, pectin ameliorated Salmonella typhimurium-induced colitis, oxidative stress, and tight junction, which may be related to the inactivation of TLR2-NF-κB signalling and reduced abundance of Salmonella.

Abstract
Citrus paradisi Macf. cv. Changshanhuyou and Citrus paradisi Macf. cv. Star Ruby are two emerging processed citrus fruits. The processing produces lots of peel wastes rich in pectin. While more attentions were paid on pectin's functional properties, the quality about commercial application like gel grade was little investigated. In this study, we established a method for gel grade determination based on texture analyzer, the new method is economical and can be used on a large scale in the laboratory. The commercial application related qualities of two citrus pectins were also studied in detail. The results showed that the yields of Changshanhuyou and Star Ruby pectins (CHP and SRP) were 20.23 % and 18.33 %, respectively. The indexes of CHP and SRP mostly were in line with the commodity standards, except the dry weight loss. The gel grades of CHP and SRP determined by the new method were 109.9 and 96.8, respectively. The CHP aqueous solution exhibited higher apparent viscosity and better performance in stabilizing acidified milk drink (AMD) compared with commercial pectin. From the view of commercial application related qualities and functional properties, CHP could be a good potential commercial pectin.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, life quality-reducing disease with no cures available yet. To develop an effective medication suitable for long-term use is an urgent but unmet need. Quercetin (QT) is a natural dietary flavonoid with good safety and multifaceted pharmacological activities against inflammation. However, orally administrated quercetin yields unproductive outcomes for IBD treatment because of its poor solubility and extensive metabolism in the gastrointestinal tract. In this work, a colon-targeted QT delivery system (termed COS-CaP-QT) was developed, of which the pectin (PEC)/Ca2+ microspheres were prepared and then crosslinked by oligochitosan (COS). The drug release profile of COS-CaP-QT was pH-dependent and colon microenvironment-responsive, and COS-CaP-QT showed preferential distribution in the colon. The mechanism study showed that QT triggered the Notch pathway to regulate the proliferation of T helper 2 (Th2) cells and group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) and the inflammatory microenvironment was remodeled. The in vivo therapeutic results revealed that COS-CaP-QT could relieve the colitis symptoms and maintain the colon length and intestinal barrier integrity.

Abstract
Pectin is widely spread in nature and it develops an extremely complex structure in terms of monosaccharide composition, glycosidic linkage types, and non-glycosidic substituents. As a non-digestible polysaccharide, pectin exhibits resistance to human digestive enzymes, however, it is easily utilized by gut microbiota in the large intestine. Currently, pectin has been exploited as a novel functional component with numerous physiological benefits, and it shows a promising prospect in promoting human health. In this review, we introduce the regulatory effects of pectin on intestinal inflammation and metabolic syndromes. Subsequently, the digestive behavior of pectin in the upper gastrointestinal tract is summarized, and then it will be focused on pectin's fermentation characteristics in the large intestine. The fermentation selectivity of pectin by gut bacteria and the effects of pectin structure on intestinal microecology were discussed to highlight the interaction between pectin and bacterial community. Meanwhile, we also offer information on how gut bacteria orchestrate enzymes to degrade pectin. All of these findings provide insights into pectin digestion and advance the application of pectin in human health.

Abstract
The dry method of coffee processing generates a significant amount of coffee husk, an agricultural waste for which currently there is a lack of profitable use, and their disposal constitutes a major environmental problem. Pectin was extracted from coffee husk using citric acid solution (pH 1.5) by microwave-assisted extraction method, followed by using ice-cold ethanol. The coffee husk pectin (CHP) with a yield of 40.2% was characterized using SEM, FT-IR, and XRD techniques. The CHP exhibited significant in-vitro antioxidant activity as measured by using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl; (IC50 value of 395.1 ± 0.42 μg/mL), ferrous reducing antioxidant capacity (A700 nm = 0.55 ± 0.08), 2,2'-Azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging (42.02 ± 0.38%) and ascorbic acid auto-oxidation inhibition (92.01 ± 0.28%) assays. CHP demonstrated antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus with an inhibition diameter of 20 ± 1.01 mm and 18 ± 0.84 mm, respectively. Interestingly, CHP showed a significant anti-inflammatory effect by negatively modulating the expressions of TNF-α and TGF- β in LPS-stimulated macrophage cell lines. Collectively, our findings suggest that the coffee husk is a potential source of commercial pectin, microwave-assisted extraction has a great potency on the commercial pectin extraction from the coffee husk and CHP demonstrates significant biological activity.

Abstract
Natural products of plant origin are of high interest and widely used, especially in the food industry, due to their low toxicity and wide range of bioactive properties. Compared to other plant components, the safety of polysaccharides has been generally recognized. As dietary fibers, plant-derived polysaccharides are mostly degraded in the intestine by polysaccharide-degrading enzymes secreted by gut microbiota, and have potential prebiotic activity in both non-disease and disease states, which should not be overlooked, especially in terms of their involvement in the treatment of intestinal diseases and the promotion of intestinal health. This review elucidates the regulatory effects of plant-derived polysaccharides on gut microbiota and summarizes the mechanisms involved in targeting gut microbiota for the treatment of intestinal diseases. Further, the structure-activity relationships between different structural types of plant-derived polysaccharides and the occurrence of their prebiotic activity are further explored. Finally, the practical applications of plant-derived polysaccharides in food production and food packaging are summarized and discussed, providing important references for expanding the application of plant-derived polysaccharides in the food industry or developing functional dietary supplements.

Abstract
Citrus fruits processing results in the generation of huge amounts of citrus by-products, mainly peels, pulp, membranes, and seeds. Although they represent a major concern from both economical and environmental aspects, it is very important to emphasize that these by-products contain a rich source of value-added bioactive compounds with a wide spectrum of applications in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. The primary aim of this review is to highlight the great potential of isolated phytochemicals and extracts of individual citrus by-products with bioactive properties (e.g., antitumor, antimicrobial, antiviral, antidiabetic, antioxidant, and other beneficial activities with health-promoting abilities) and their potential in pharmaceutical, biomedical, and biological applications. This review on citrus by-products contains the following parts: structural and chemical characteristics; the utilization of citrus by-products; bioactivities of the present waxes and carotenoids, essential oils, pectins, and phenolic compounds; and citrus by-product formulations with enhanced biocactivities. A summary of the recent developments in applying citrus by-products for the treatment of different diseases and the protection of human health is also provided, emphasizing innovative methods for bioaccessibility enhancements (e.g., extract/component encapsulation, synthesis of biomass-derived nanoparticles, nanocarriers, or biofilm preparation). Based on the representative phytochemical groups, an evaluation of the recent studies of the past six years (from 2018 to 2023) reporting specific biological and health-promoting activities of citrus-based by-products is also provided. Finally, this review discusses advanced and modern approaches in pharmaceutical/biological formulations and drug delivery (e.g., carbon precursors for the preparation of nanoparticles with promising antimicrobial activity, the production of fluorescent nanoparticles with potential application as antitumor agents, and in cellular imaging). The recent studies implementing nanotechnology in food science and biotechnology could bring about new insights into providing innovative solutions for new pharmaceutical and medical discoveries.

Study of the roles of caspase-3 and nuclear factor kappa B in myenteric neurons in a P2X7 receptor knockout mouse model of ulcerative colitis. World J Gastroenterol 2023; 29:3440-3468. [PMID: 37389242 PMCID: PMC10303518 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v29.i22.3440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The literature indicates that the enteric nervous system is affected in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) and that the P2X7 receptor triggers neuronal death. However, the mechanism by which enteric neurons are lost in IBDs is unknown.
AIM To study the role of the caspase-3 and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathways in myenteric neurons in a P2X7 receptor knockout (KO) mouse model of IBDs.
METHODS Forty male wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 and P2X7 receptor KO mice were euthanized 24 h or 4 d after colitis induction by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (colitis group). Mice in the sham groups were injected with vehicle. The mice were divided into eight groups (n = 5): The WT sham 24 h and 4 d groups, the WT colitis 24 h and 4 d groups, the KO sham 24 h and 4 d groups, and the KO colitis 24 h and 4 d groups. The disease activity index (DAI) was analyzed, the distal colon was collected for immunohistochemistry analyses, and immunofluorescence was performed to identify neurons immunoreactive (ir) for calretinin, P2X7 receptor, cleaved caspase-3, total caspase-3, phospho-NF-κB, and total NF-κB. We analyzed the number of calretinin-ir and P2X7 receptor-ir neurons per ganglion, the neuronal profile area (µm²), and corrected total cell fluorescence (CTCF).
RESULTS Cells double labeled for calretinin and P2X7 receptor, cleaved caspase-3, total caspase-3, phospho-NF-κB, or total NF-κB were observed in the WT colitis 24 h and 4 d groups. The number of calretinin-ir neurons per ganglion was decreased in the WT colitis 24 h and 4 d groups compared to the WT sham 24 h and 4 d groups, respectively (2.10 ± 0.13 vs 3.33 ± 0.17, P < 0.001; 2.92 ± 0.12 vs 3.70 ± 0.11, P < 0.05), but was not significantly different between the KO groups. The calretinin-ir neuronal profile area was increased in the WT colitis 24 h group compared to the WT sham 24 h group (312.60 ± 7.85 vs 278.41 ± 6.65, P < 0.05), and the nuclear profile area was decreased in the WT colitis 4 d group compared to the WT sham 4 d group (104.63 ± 2.49 vs 117.41 ± 1.14, P < 0.01). The number of P2X7 receptor-ir neurons per ganglion was decreased in the WT colitis 24 h and 4 d groups compared to the WT sham 24 h and 4 d groups, respectively (19.49 ± 0.35 vs 22.21 ± 0.18, P < 0.001; 20.35 ± 0.14 vs 22.75 ± 0.51, P < 0.001), and no P2X7 receptor-ir neurons were observed in the KO groups. Myenteric neurons showed ultrastructural changes in the WT colitis 24 h and 4 d groups and in the KO colitis 24 h group. The cleaved caspase-3 CTCF was increased in the WT colitis 24 h and 4 d groups compared to the WT sham 24 h and 4 d groups, respectively (485949 ± 14140 vs 371371 ± 16426, P < 0.001; 480381 ± 11336 vs 378365 ± 4053, P < 0.001), but was not significantly different between the KO groups. The total caspase-3 CTCF, phospho-NF-κB CTCF, and total NF-κB CTCF were not significantly different among the groups. The DAI was recovered in the KO groups. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the absence of the P2X7 receptor attenuated inflammatory infiltration, tissue damage, collagen deposition, and the decrease in the number of goblet cells in the distal colon.
CONCLUSION Ulcerative colitis affects myenteric neurons in WT mice but has a weaker effect in P2X7 receptor KO mice, and neuronal death may be associated with P2X7 receptor-mediated caspase-3 activation. The P2X7 receptor can be a therapeutic target for IBDs.

Abstract
Visitors to high altitude are susceptible to hypoxia-induced acute intestinal mucosal barrier injury and severe gastrointestinal disorders, which are life-threatening. Citrus tangerine pith extract (CTPE) is rich in pectin and flavonoids and has been proved to enhance intestinal health and improve gut dysbiosis. In this study, we aim to explore the protective effect of CTPE on ileum injury induced by intermittent hypobaric hypoxia in a mouse model. Balb/c mice were divided into blank normoxia (BN), blank hypobaric hypoxia (BH), hypobaric hypoxia plus CTPE (TH), and hypobaric hypoxia plus Rhodiola extract (RH) groups. From the 6th day of gavage, mice in BH, TH, and RH groups were transferred into a hypobaric chamber at a simulated elevation of 6000 m for 8 hours per day for 10 days. Then half the mice were tested for small intestine movement, and others were used to evaluate intestinal physical barrier function, inflammation, and gut microbiota. Results showed that CTPE reversed the increase of intestinal peristalsis, effectively attenuated impaired structural integrity of ileum, improved the mRNA and protein expression levels of tight junction proteins, and reduced serum D-LA content in mice to alleviate hypoxia-induced mucosal barrier damage. Moreover, CTPE supplementation ameliorated hypoxia-induced intestinal inflammation response by significantly downregulating the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF-α and IFN-γ. By 16S rDNA gene sequencing of gut microbiota, CTPE significantly increased the abundance of probiotic Lactobacillus, suggesting that CTPE may be used as a prebiotic to regulate ecology of intestinal microorganisms. In addition, Spearman rank correlation analysis revealed that changed gut microbiota were significantly correlated with alteration of intestinal barrier function indexes. Taken together, these results indicate that CTPE effectively alleviates hypoxia-induced intestinal injury in mice and enhances intestinal integrity and barrier function by altering intestinal microbiota composition.

Abstract
Pharmacological treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is inefficient and difficult to discontinue appropriately, and enterobacterial interactions are expected to provide a new target for the treatment of IBD. We collected recent studies on the enterobacterial interactions among the host, enterobacteria, and their metabolite products and discuss potential therapeutic options. Intestinal flora interactions in IBD are affected in the reduced bacterial diversity, impact the immune system and are influenced by multiple factors such as host genetics and diet. Enterobacterial metabolites such as SCFAs, bile acids, and tryptophan also play important roles in enterobacterial interactions, especially in the progression of IBD. Therapeutically, a wide range of sources of probiotics and prebiotics exhibit potential therapeutic benefit in IBD through enterobacterial interactions, and some have gained wide recognition as adjuvant drugs. Different dietary patterns and foods, especially functional foods, are novel therapeutic modalities that distinguish pro-and prebiotics from traditional medications. Combined studies with food science may significantly improve the therapeutic experience of patients with IBD. In this review, we provide a brief overview of the role of enterobacteria and their metabolites in enterobacterial interactions, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the potential therapeutic options derived from such metabolites, and postulate directions for further research.

Abstract
Goji berry and mulberry are both popular berries with anti-colitis effects, but their leaves have received less attention. In this study, the anti-colitis effects of goji berry leaf and mulberry leaf were investigated in dextran-sulfate-sodium-induced colitis C57BL/6N mice compared with their fruits. Goji berry leaf and goji berry reduced colitic symptoms and ameliorated tissue damage, while mulberry leaf did not. ELISA and western blotting analysis suggested that goji berry showed the best performance in inhibiting the overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10) and improving damaged colonic barrier (occludin and claudin-1). Besides, goji berry leaf and goji berry reversed the gut microbiota dysbiosis by increasing the abundance of beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium and Muribaculaceae, and decreasing the abundance of harmful bacteria like Bilophila and Lachnoclostridium. Goji berry, mulberry and goji berry leaf could restore acetate, propionate, butyrate and valerate to ameliorate inflammation, while mulberry leaf could not restore butyrate. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the comparison of the anti-colitis effects of goji berry leaf, mulberry leaf and their fruits, which is meaningful for the rational utilization of goji berry leaf as a functional food.

Abstract
Pectins are complex polysaccharides that are widely found in plant cells and have a variety of bioactivities. However, the high molecular weights (Mw) and complex structures of natural pectins mean that they are difficult for organisms to absorb and utilize, limiting their beneficial effects. The modification of pectins is considered to be an effective method for improving the structural characteristics and promoting the bioactivities of pectins, and even adding new bioactivities to natural pectins. This article reviews the modification methods, including chemical, physical, and enzymatic methods, for natural pectins from the perspective of their basic information, influencing factors, and product identification. Furthermore, the changes caused by modifications to the bioactivities of pectins are elucidated, including their anti-coagulant, anti-oxidant, anti-tumor, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, and anti-bacterial activities and the ability to regulate the intestinal environment. Finally, suggestions and perspectives regarding the development of pectin modification are provided.

Abstract
The vascular endothelium is not only the semipermeable membrane that separates tissue from blood but also an organ that regulates inflammation, vascular tone, blood clotting, angiogenesis and synthesis of connective tissue proteins. It is susceptible to the direct cytotoxic action of numerous xenobiotics and to the acute hypoxia that accompanies acute poisoning. This damage is superimposed on the preformed state of the vascular endothelium, which, in turn, depends on many humoral factors. The probability that an exogenous toxicant will cause life-threatening dysfunction of the vascular endothelium, thereby complicating the course of acute poisoning, increases with an increase in the content of endogenous substances in the blood that disrupt endothelial function. These include ammonia, bacterial endotoxin, indoxyl sulfate, para-cresyl sulfate, trimethylamine N-oxide, asymmetric dimethylarginine, glucose, homocysteine, low-density and very-low-density lipoproteins, free fatty acids and products of intravascular haemolysis. Some other endogenous substances (albumin, haptoglobin, haemopexin, biliverdin, bilirubin, tetrahydrobiopterin) or food-derived compounds (ascorbic acid, rutin, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, etc.) reduce the risk of lethal vascular endothelial dysfunction. The individual variability of the content of these substances in the blood contributes to the stochasticity of the complications of acute poisoning and is a promising target for the risk reduction measures. Another feasible option may be the repositioning of drugs that affect the function of the vascular endothelium while being currently used for other indications.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of diseases with a chronic course, characterized by periods of exacerbation and remission. One of the elements that could potentially predispose to IBD is, among others, a low-fiber diet. Dietary fiber has many functions in the human body. One of the most important is its influence on the composition of the intestinal microflora. Intestinal dysbiosis, as well as chronic inflammation that occurs, are hallmarks of IBD. Individual components of dietary fiber, such as β-glucan, pectin, starch, inulin, fructooligosaccharides, or hemicellulose, can significantly affect preventive effects in IBD by modulating the composition of the intestinal microbiota or sealing the intestinal barrier, among other things. The main objective of the review is to provide information on the effects of individual fiber components of the diet on the risk of IBD, including, among other things, altering the composition of the intestinal microbiota.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), a heterogeneous group of inflammatory conditions that encompass both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, represent a major public health concern. The etiology of IBD is not yet fully understood and no cure is available, with current treatments only showing long-term effectiveness in a minority of patients. A need to increase our knowledge on IBD pathophysiology is growing, to define preventive measures, to improve disease outcome, and to develop new effective and lasting treatments. IBD pathogenesis is sustained by aberrant immune responses, associated with alterations of the intestinal epithelial barrier (IEB), modifications of the enteric nervous system, and changes in microbiota composition. Currently, most of the treatments target the inflammation and the immune system, but holistic approaches targeting lifestyle and diet improvements are emerging. As dysbiosis is involved in IBD pathogenesis, pre-, pro-, syn-, and postbiotics are used/tested to reduce the inflammation or strengthen the IEB. The present review will resume these works, pointing out the stage of life, the duration, and the environmental conditions that should go along with microbiota or microbiota-derived treatments.

Abstract
Diets rich in fiber may provide health benefits and regulate the gut microbiome, which affects the immune system. However, the role of dietary fiber in Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is controversial. Here, we investigated the use of fermentable fibers, such as inulin or pectin, to replace the insoluble fiber cellulose to explore how dietary fiber affects C. difficile-induced colitis in mice through intestinal microecology and metabolomics. Using C. difficile VPI 10463, we generated a mouse model of antibiotic-induced CDI. We evaluated disease outcomes and the microbial community among mice fed two fermentable fibers (inulin or pectin) versus the insoluble fiber cellulose. We analyzed and compared the gut microbiota, intestinal epithelium, cytokine levels, immune responses, and metabolites between the groups. Severe histological injury and elevated cytokine levels were observed in colon tissues after infection. Different diets showed different effects, and pectin administration protected intestinal epithelial permeability. Pectin also steadily increased the diversity of the microbiome and decreased the levels of C. difficile-induced markers of inflammation in serum and colonic tissues. The pectin group showed a higher abundance of Lachnospiraceae and a lower abundance of the conditionally pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae than the cellulose group with infection. The concentration of short-chain fatty acids in the cecal contents was also higher in the pectin group than in the cellulose group. Pectin exerted its effects through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) pathway, which was confirmed by using the AhR agonist FICZ and the inhibitor CH2223191. Our results show that pectin alters the microbiome and metabolic function and triggers a protective immune response.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the differences between oral administration and intravenous injection of polygalacturonic acid (PGA) in the regulation of immune and intestinal microflora in ulcerative colitis (UC) mice. PGA was administered orally or intravenously. PGA in the high-dose ig group was the most effective in treating UC by increasing colon length and downregulating disease activity index, histopathological score and proinflammatory cytokine levels. In spleen, the efficacy of PGA on restoring Th17/Treg balance in the high-dose iv group was better than that in the high-dose ig group, the opposite was observed in the lamina propria. The level of colonic IL-17A in the high-dose ig group was lower than that in the high-dose iv group, the opposite was observed for that of colonic IL-10. Western blot and immunohistochemistry analysis revealed that PGA in the high-dose ig group decreased the protein expression of RORγt, and increased that of FOXP3. Furthermore, PGA in the high-dose ig group was more effective than that in the high-dose iv group in improving the intestinal microflora structure. Our results suggest that in immune regulation, oral PGA is more effective in the lamina propria and gut microbiota while intravenous PGA is more effective in the spleen.

Abstract
Sugar overconsumption is linked to a rise in the incidence of noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. This increased incidence is becoming a real public health problem that is more severe than infectious diseases, contributing to 35 million deaths annually. Excessive intake of free sugars can cause many of the same health problems as excessive alcohol consumption. Many recent international recommendations have expressed concerns about sugar consumption in Westernized societies, as current consumption levels represent quantities with no precedent during hominin evolution. In both adults and children, the World Health Organization strongly recommends reducing free sugar intake to <10% of total energy intake and suggests a further reduction to below 5%. Most studies have focused on the deleterious effects of Western dietary patterns on global health and the intestine. Whereas excessive dietary fat consumption is well studied, the specific impact of sugar is poorly described, while refined sugars represent up to 40% of caloric intake within industrialized countries. However, high sugar intake is associated with multiple tissue and organ dysfunctions. Both hyperglycemia and excessive sugar intake disrupt the intestinal barrier, thus increasing gut permeability and causing profound gut microbiota dysbiosis, which results in a disturbance in mucosal immunity that enhances infection susceptibility. This review aims to highlight the roles of different types of dietary carbohydrates and the consequences of their excessive intake for intestinal homeostasis.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Geranium sanguineum L. is used for treatment of inflammations, anemia, malignant diseases of the blood-forming organs, diarrhea, respiratory infections, etc. Only flavonoids in root extracts have been elucidated as immunostimulating and anti-inflammatory compounds, and polysaccharides in the herb have not been examined. AIM OF THE STUDY to compare the chemical features of polysaccharide complexes (PSCs) from leaves (GSL-PSC) and roots (GSR-PSC) of G. sanguineum, as well as their immunomodulatory activities on leukocytes after inflammation, and effects on the growth of different bacteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS The samples were isolated by water extraction and their structural features were studied by 2D NMR spectroscopy. The stimulatory effects of both PSCs on human leukocytes were analyzed with flow cytometry. Their suppressive activities on the oxidative burst in blood and derived neutrophils against opsonized zymosan and phorbol myristate acetate were investigated. The effects of the samples on viability, NO and interleukin 6 (IL-6) syntheses in RAW264.7 cells after inflammation with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) were tested. The prebiotic and anti-biofilm activities of the PSCs were evaluated. RESULTS The total carbohydrate content in the samples was significant (73.6-76.8%). GSL-PSC contained pectins, which were rich in homogalacturonan (HG), and smaller amounts of rhamnogalacturonan (RG) type I, decorated by 1,5-α-L-Araf, 1,4- and 1,6-β-D-Galp chains. GSR-PSC contained starch, followed by pectins with lower HG content and more RG-I regions, substituted by 1 → 3,5-α-L-arabinans and 1 → 3,6-β-D-galactans. GSL-PSC and GSR-PSC (200 μg/mL) increased monocyte and granulocyte cell counts, but GSR-PSC also elevated T helper and B cell levels in a normal and activated state. GSR-PSC triggered a dose-dependent (50-200 μg/mL) oxidative burst in blood, but alleviated it after inflammation even in blood-derived neutrophils. It was free of LPS, and activated NO and IL-6 productions in RAW264.7 cells better than GSL-PSC, without affecting their viability. Both PSCs (2.0%, w/v) stimulated probiotic co-cultures between Clostridium beijerinckii strains and Lactobacillus sp. ZK9, and inhibited the growth and biofilm formation of Escherichia coli, Streptococcus mutans and Salmonella enterica. CONCLUSIONS The PSs in G. sanguineum could be involved in the stimulatory effects on blood-forming organs and anti-inflammatory action of aqueous root extracts in case of infections. These PSs should be included in synbiotic foods to support the treatment of inflammations and infections in the gut.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an idiopathic inflammatory disease. Environmental sanitization, modern lifestyles, advanced medicines, ethnic origins, host genetics and immune systems, mucosal barrier function, and the gut microbiota have been delineated to explain how they cause mucosal inflammation. However, the pathogenesis of IBD and its therapeutic targets remain elusive. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of the human gut microbiota in health and disease, suggesting that the pathogenesis of IBD is highly associated with imbalances of the gut microbiota or alterations of epithelial barrier function in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Moreover, diet-induced alterations of the gut microbiota in the GI tract modulate immune responses and perturb metabolic homeostasis. This review summarizes recent findings on IBD and its association with diet-induced changes in the gut microbiota; furthermore, it discusses how diets can modulate host gut microbes and immune systems, potentiating the impact of personalized diets on therapeutic targets for IBD.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common chronic inflammatory skin condition, characterized by multiple recurrent eczematous lesions and intense itchiness. It is a multifactorial skin disorder involving an association between genetic and environmental factors that lead to a defect of the epithelial barrier in conjunction with immunological dysregulation. Over the last decade, there has been an increasing understanding of the role of the human microbiota in preserving skin integrity and that a shift in the homeostasis of these microorganisms may lead to dysbiosis and disease. Diversity in the intestinal microbiome and its role in the etiopathogenesis of AD has been described and has become of great interest. In this report, we have reviewed the importance of the gut microbiome and the possible mechanism in the pathogenesis of AD as well as the therapeutic impact of probiotics and prebiotics

Abstract
To characterize the structure of purified raspberry pectin and discuss the impact of different extraction methods on the pectin structure, raspberry pectin was extracted by hot-acid and enzyme method and purified by stepwise ethanol precipitation and ion-exchange chromatography isolation. Enzyme-extracted raspberry pectin (RPE50%-3) presented relatively intact structure with molecular weight of 5 × 104 g/mol and the degree of methylation was 39%. The 1D/2D NMR analysis demonstrated RPE50%-3 was a high-branched pectin mainly containing 50% homogalacturonan, 16% branched α-1,5-arabinan and α-1,3-arabinan, 18% β-1,4-galactan and β-1,6-galactan. Acid-extracted raspberry pectin (RPA50%-3) contained less arabinan than RPE50%-3. Moreover, RPE50%-3 inhibited the nitric oxide (NO), TNF-α, IL-6 production of lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophages by 67%, 22% and 46% at the dosage of 200 ug/mL, while the inhibitory rate of RPA50%-3 were 33%, 9%, and 1%, respectively. These results suggested that enzyme-extracted raspberry pectin contained more arabinan sidechains and exhibited better immunomodulatory effect.

Abstract
During weaning, infants and young animals are susceptible to severe enteric infections, thus inducing intestinal microbiota dysbiosis, intestinal inflammation, and impaired intestinal barrier function. Pectin (PEC), a prebiotic polysaccharide, enhances intestinal health with the potential for therapeutic effect on intestinal diseases. One 21-days study was conducted to investigate the protective effect of pectin against intestinal injury induced by intraperitoneal injection of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in a piglet model. A total of 24 piglets (6.77±0.92 kg BW; Duroc × Landrace × Large White; barrows; 21 d of age) were randomly assigned into three groups: control group, LPS-challenged group, and PEC + LPS group. Piglets were administrated with LPS or saline on d14 and d21 of the experiment. All piglets were slaughtered and intestinal samples were collected after 3 h administration on d21. Pectin supplementation ameliorated the LPS-induced inflammation response and damage to the ileal morphology. Meanwhile, pectin also improved intestinal mucin barrier function, increased the mRNA expression of MUC2, and improved intestinal mucus glycosylation. LPS challenge reduced the diversity of intestinal microbiota and enriched the relative abundance of Helicobacter. Pectin restored alpha diversity improved the structure of the gut microbiota by enriching anti-inflammatory bacteria and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacteria, and increased the concentrations of acetate. In addition, Spearman rank correlation analysis also revealed the potential relationship between intestinal microbiota and intestinal morphology, intestinal inflammation, and intestinal glycosylation in piglets. Taken together, these results indicate that pectin enhances intestinal integrity and barrier function by altering intestinal microbiota composition and their metabolites, which subsequently alleviates intestinal injury and finally improves the growth performance of piglets.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease that is persistent and nonspecific. There are several medications available for the treatment of UC. However, conventional UC medications have substantial adverse effects, low clinical effectiveness, and a high recurrence rate. Therefore, it is critical to discover new medicines that are both safe and effective for UC patients. Natural polysaccharides offer a wide range of pharmacological benefits, including anti-inflammatory, anti-virus, anti-tumor, anti-aging, immune enhancement, and gut flora regulation. In the therapy of UC, natural polysaccharides can modulate inflammatory factors, the immune system, and intestinal flora, and preserve the intestinal mucosa. It demonstrates a good curative effect and is of safety to use, thereby being a potential treatment for UC patients. This paper covers the structure, the pharmacological effects on UC, and the mechanisms of natural polysaccharides. Finally, limitations, challenges, and perspectives are discussed. It is hoped that the findings of this publication will inspire more natural polysaccharides research and provide a theoretical foundation for the creation of new UC medications.

Abstract
The last decade has been marked by an exponential increase
in the number of publications on the physiological role of the normal
human gut microbiota. The idea of a symbiotic relationship between
the human organism and normal microbiota of its gastrointestinal
tract has been firmly established as an integral part of the current
biomedical paradigm. However, the type of this symbiosis varies
from mutualism to parasitism and depends on the functional state
of the host organism. Damage caused to the organism by external
agents can lead to the emergence of conditionally pathogenic properties
in the normal gut microbiota, mediated by humoral factors and affecting
the outcome of exogenous exposure. Among the substances produced
by symbiotic microbiota, there are an indefinite number of compounds
with systemic toxicity. Some occur in the intestinal chyme in potentially
lethal amounts in the case they enter the bloodstream quickly. The quick
entry of potential toxicants is prevented by the intestinal barrier
(IB), a set of structural elements separating the intestinal chyme
from the blood. Hypothetically, severe damage to the IB caused by
exogenous toxicants can trigger a leakage and subsequent systemic
redistribution of toxic substances of bacterial origin. Until recently,
the impact of such a redistribution on the outcome of acute exogenous
poisoning remained outside the view of toxicology. The present review
addresses causal relationships between the secondary dysfunction
of the IB and complications of acute poisoning. We characterize
acute systemic toxicity of such waste products of the normal gut microflora
as ammonia and endotoxins, and demonstrate their involvement in
the formation of such complications of acute poisoning as shock,
sepsis, cerebral insufficiency and secondary lung injuries. The
principles of assessing the functional state of the IB and the approaches
to its protection in acute poisoning are briefly considered.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease of unknown etiology that affects the colon and rectum. It has evolved into a global burden due to the high incidence in developed countries and the highly-increased incidence in developing countries. Non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) from natural resources, as a type of functional carbohydrates, have a significant therapeutic effect on UC because of their good anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. Based on the etiology and pathogenesis of UC, this review summarizes the intervention effects and mechanisms of NSPs in the prevention and treatment of UC. The results showed that NSPs can improve UC by protecting the intestinal mucosal barrier, regulating the immune response of the intestinal mucosa, and remodeling the intestinal flora and metabolites. These contents provide theoretical basis for the application of polysaccharides in the prevention and treatment of UC.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic relapsing-remitting inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Patients are usually diagnosed in adolescence and early adulthood and need lifelong treatment. In recent years, it has been found that diet plays an important role in the pathogenesis of IBD. Diet can change intestinal barrier function, affect the structure and function of intestinal flora, and promote immune disorder, thus promoting inflammation. Many patients believe that diet plays a role in the onset and treatment of the disease and changes their diet spontaneously. This review provides some insights into how nutraceuticals regulate intestinal immune homeostasis and improve intestinal barrier function. We reviewed the research results of dietary fiber, polyphenols, bioactive peptides, and other nutraceuticals in the prevention and treatment of IBD and sought better alternative or supplementary treatment methods for IBD patients.
