This study aimed to develop a novel astaxanthin nanoparticle using gum arabic (GA) and whey protein powder enriched with milk fat globule membranes (MFGM-WPI) as carriers and to investigate its effect and alleviation mechanism on colitis in mice. We demonstrated that MFGM-GA-astaxanthin could improve the bioaccessibility of astaxanthin and cope with oxidative stress more effectively in a Caco-2 cell model. studies demonstrated that MFGM-GA-astaxanthin alleviated colitis symptoms and repaired intestinal barrier function by increasing the expression of mucin 2, occludin, and zonula occludens-1. This was attributed to the alleviating effect of MFGM-GA-astaxanthin on oxidative stress. Moreover, MFGM-GA-astaxanthin restored the abnormalities of flora caused by dextran sulfate sodium, including , , , and . This study provides a basis for the therapeutic effect of astaxanthin nanoparticles on colon diseases.
本研究旨在开发一种新型虾青素纳米粒子,使用阿拉伯胶(GA)和富含乳脂肪球膜(MFGM-WPI)的乳清蛋白粉作为载体,并研究其对结肠炎小鼠的作用和缓解机制。我们证明 MFGM-GA-虾青素可以提高虾青素的生物利用度,并在 Caco-2 细胞模型中更有效地应对氧化应激。研究表明,MFGM-GA-虾青素通过增加粘蛋白 2、闭合蛋白和紧密连接蛋白-1 的表达来缓解结肠炎症状和修复肠道屏障功能。这归因于 MFGM-GA-虾青素对氧化应激的缓解作用。此外,MFGM-GA-虾青素恢复了葡聚糖硫酸钠引起的菌群异常,包括 、 、 和 。本研究为虾青素纳米粒子治疗结肠疾病的疗效提供了依据。
