Abstract

Epicatechin (EPI) is a dietary flavonoid that is present in many foods and possesses various bioactivities. We assessed the effects of EPI supplementation on intestinal barrier integrity in mice. Thirty-six mice were assigned to three groups and fed a standard diet or a standard diet supplemented with 50 or 100 mg EPI/kg ( = 12 per group). After 21 days of rearing, blood and intestinal samples were collected from eight randomly selected mice. Supplementation with 50 and 100 mg/kg EPI decreased ( < 0.05) the serum diamine oxidase activity and -lactic acid concentration and increased ( < 0.05) the duodenal, jejunal, and ileal abundance of tight junction proteins, such as occludin. Moreover, it lowered ( < 0.05) the duodenal, jejunal, and ileal tumor necrosis factor-α contents and enhanced ( < 0.05) the duodenal and jejunal catalase activities and ileal superoxide dismutase activity. Supplementation with a lower dose (50 mg/kg) decreased ( < 0.05) the ileal interleukin-1β content, whereas supplementation with a higher dose (100 mg/kg) increased ( < 0.05) the duodenal and jejunal glutathione peroxidase activities. Furthermore, supplementation with 50 and 100 mg/kg EPI decreased ( < 0.05) cell apoptosis, cleaved cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase-3 (caspase-3), and cleaved caspase-9 contents in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. In conclusion, EPI could improve intestinal barrier integrity in mice, thereby suppressing intestinal inflammation and oxidative stress and reducing cell apoptosis.

摘要

表儿茶素(EPI)是一种存在于多种食物中的膳食类黄酮,具有多种生物活性。我们评估了补充EPI对小鼠肠道屏障完整性的影响。将36只小鼠分为三组,分别喂食标准饮食或添加50或100 mg EPI/kg的标准饮食(每组12只)。饲养21天后,从八只随机选择的小鼠中采集血液和肠道样本。补充50和100 mg/kg EPI可降低(<0.05)血清二胺氧化酶活性和D-乳酸浓度,并增加(<0.05)十二指肠、空肠和回肠中紧密连接蛋白(如闭合蛋白)的丰度。此外,它降低了(<0.05)十二指肠、空肠和回肠中肿瘤坏死因子-α的含量,并增强了(<0.05)十二指肠和空肠中的过氧化氢酶活性以及回肠中的超氧化物歧化酶活性。补充较低剂量(50 mg/kg)可降低(<0.05)回肠中白细胞介素-1β的含量,而补充较高剂量(100 mg/kg)则可增加(<0.05)十二指肠和空肠中的谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性。此外,补充50和100 mg/kg EPI可降低(<0.05)十二指肠、空肠和回肠中的细胞凋亡、半胱天冬酶-3(caspase-3)裂解产物和半胱天冬酶-9裂解产物的含量。总之,EPI可改善小鼠肠道屏障的完整性,从而抑制肠道炎症和氧化应激,并减少细胞凋亡。
