Jack bean (JB), Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC, is a commonly cultivated legume in Indonesia. It is rich in protein, which can be hydrolyzed, making it potentially a good source of bioactive peptides. Intestinal inflammation is associated with several diseases, and the production of interleukin-8 (IL-8) in intestinal epithelial cells induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α has an important role in inflammatory reaction. The present study investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of peptides generated from enzymatic hydrolysis of JB protein on human intestinal Caco-2BBe cells. Additionally, in silico approaches were used to identify potential bioactive peptides. JB protein hydrolysate (JBPH) prepared using pepsin and pancreatin reduced the IL-8 expression at protein and mRNA levels in Caco-2BBe cells stimulated with TNF-α. Immunoblot analysis showed that the JBPH reduced the TNF-α-induced phosphorylation of c-Jun-NH(2)-terminal kinase, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), and p38 proteins. Anti-inflammatory activity was observed in the 30% acetonitrile fraction of JBPH separated on a Sep-Pak C18 column. An ultrafiltration method revealed that relatively small peptides (< 3 kDa) had a potent inhibitory effect on the IL-8 production. Purification of the peptides by reversed-phase and anion-exchange high performance chromatography produced three peptide fractions with anti-inflammatory activities. A combination of mass spectrometry analysis and in silico approaches identified the potential anti-inflammatory peptides. Peptides derived from JB protein reduces the TNF-α-induced inflammatory response in Caco-2BBe cells via NF-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. Our results may lead to a novel therapeutic approach to promote intestinal health.
杰克豆(JB),Canavalia ensiformis(L.)DC,是印度尼西亚一种常见的栽培豆类。它富含蛋白质,可以被水解,使其成为生物活性肽的潜在良好来源。肠道炎症与多种疾病有关,肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)-α诱导的肠上皮细胞中白细胞介素-8(IL-8)的产生在炎症反应中起重要作用。本研究探讨了 JB 蛋白酶解产物对人肠 Caco-2BBe 细胞的抗炎作用。此外,还使用了计算机模拟方法来鉴定潜在的生物活性肽。用胃蛋白酶和胰蛋白酶制备的 JB 蛋白水解物(JBPH)可降低 TNF-α刺激的 Caco-2BBe 细胞中 IL-8 的蛋白和 mRNA 表达。免疫印迹分析表明,JBPH 降低了 TNF-α诱导的 c-Jun-NH(2)-末端激酶、核因子 kappa B(NF-κB)和 p38 蛋白的磷酸化。JBPH 在 Sep-Pak C18 柱上分离的 30%乙腈部分表现出抗炎活性。超滤法表明,相对较小的肽(<3 kDa)对 IL-8 的产生具有很强的抑制作用。通过反相和阴离子交换高效色谱对肽进行纯化,产生了三种具有抗炎活性的肽。质谱分析和计算机模拟方法相结合,鉴定了潜在的抗炎肽。JB 蛋白衍生的肽通过 NF-κB 和丝裂原激活蛋白激酶信号通路降低 Caco-2BBe 细胞中 TNF-α诱导的炎症反应。我们的结果可能为促进肠道健康提供一种新的治疗方法。
