Description

Use of chlorophyll-rich spinach extract for relieving intestinal inflammatory response and barrier dysfunction
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of food and medicine. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of a chlorophyll-rich spinach extract for alleviating intestinal inflammatory responses and barrier dysfunction.
Background
The intestine is the main medium between the human body and the environment. The intestinal tract is responsible not only for the absorption of essential dietary nutrients, but also for protecting the host from various ingested toxins and microorganisms. The intestinal barrier system is immune defenses by the mucus layer, intestinal epithelial cells and the lamina propria, all of which are susceptible to external factors (e.g., meal type, meal fat content, etc.).
Studies report that consumption of excess dietary fat can perturb barrier function to varying degrees, inducing inflammatory responses. Nowadays, there are more and more studies to prove that the effective alleviation of high fat-induced inflammatory conditions by food-derived active ingredients relies mainly on the intestinal barrier function, but the main mechanism of action is not yet clear.
High fat diets increase the abundance of sulfate-reducing bacteria, which dissociate the genotoxicity of taurocholic acid to produce H2S gas, which exacerbates the cycle of animal intestinal barrier degeneration. Some studies report that the content of sulfate-reducing bacteria, or specific species of sulfate-reducing bacteria, is increased in faeces in patients with impaired intestinal barrier. There are studies that suggest a mechanism by which sulfide-decomposing disulfide bonds disrupt intestinal barriers, and they have studied that increased sulfide production is a major cause of mucosal barrier disruption and colonic inflammation.
Chlorophyll is a pigment which is located on a plant thylakoid membrane and can perform photosynthesis, and is mainly divided into chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b, and chlorophyll c and chlorophyll d also exist in algae such as brown algae, diatom and the like. Such pigments are readily available in the daily diet. However, at present, there is still a need to study the influence and mechanism of chlorophyll on the high fat diet-induced intestinal inflammatory response and barrier dysfunction.

Example 1 Effect of chlorophyll on Gene expression of high fat diet-induced intestinal proinflammatory factors
As shown in figure 1, compared with the NC group and NCCHL group mice, the expression levels of proinflammatory factors IL-6, IL-1 beta, MCP-1 and TNF-alpha genes in colon of HFD group mice are obviously increased, and the dietary supplement of spinach extract rich in chlorophyll can obviously reduce the expression of the proinflammatory factors IL-6, IL-1 beta, MCP-1 and TNF-alpha genes in colon.
Example 2 chlorophyll effects on high-fat diet-induced intestinal permeability
High fat diets enhance intestinal permeability by directly stimulating proinflammatory signal secretion, or indirectly by increasing intestinal barrier-disrupting cytokines (IL1 β, IL6, IFN γ, and TNF α), which will increase the incidence and mortality of inflammation-related diseases, impairing the integrity of the intestinal barrier. The intestinal permeability test (fig. 2) was performed three weeks before the mice became necrotized, and after injecting fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled Dextran (FITC-Dextran, a fluorescent tracer) into the intestinal lumen of the mice, the content of FITC-Dextran in the serum was measured, and it was found that the content of FITC in the serum of HFD group was significantly increased and the content of FITC in HFCHL group was significantly decreased compared to HFD group, indicating that the intestinal permeability was significantly improved.
Example 3 Effect of chlorophyll on the integrity of the intestinal Barrier in high fat diet mice
The intestinal barrier is a complex defense system consisting of intestinal epithelial cells, intestinal mucus layers, an intestinal mucosal immune system and microorganisms colonized by the intestinal epithelium. Changes in the colon were observed for each group of mice using HE staining (fig. 3), and mucosal thickness was calculated (fig. 4). The results show that compared with the control group (NC), the high-fat group (HFD) mice have certain damage to the intestinal tract structure, the colon mucosa is thinned, and the high-fat supplement of the spinach extract (HFCHL) rich in chlorophyll can obviously increase the thickness of the intestinal tract mucus layer, so that the intestinal tract flora is prevented from directly contacting with the intestinal epithelial cells, and the intestinal tract mild inflammation is induced. In addition, there was a certain increase in mucosal thickness between the chlorophyll-rich spinach extract group (NCCHL) and the control group (NC) on the control diet gavage, indicating that the chlorophyll-rich spinach extract can significantly protect the integrity of the intestinal barrier.
The intestinal physical barrier is a direct histological barrier between the host and the external environment, mainly consists of intestinal epithelial cells and tight connection among the cells, and is an important barrier for preventing the invasion of pathogenic bacteria by the host. The intestinal tight junction structure is composed of a plurality of protein complexes, including a cytoplasmic protein ZOs family, transmembrane proteins Occludin, Claudins, and a connection adhesion molecule JAM family. Further determining the expression of physical barrier related proteins in the intestinal tissues of four groups of mice, as shown in FIG. 5, HFD can significantly reduce the protein expression of ZO-1, Occludin, Claudin-1 and JAM-A in the intestinal tracts compared with NC, indicating that HFD can seriously damage the physical barriers of mice, and the relative expression amounts of ZO-1, Occludin, Claudin-1 and JAM-A proteins in the colon tissues of HFCHL mice are significantly increased compared with the HFD group.
The intestinal chemical barrier is mainly composed of the intestinal mucus layer, which is composed of a highly glycosylated polymeric network of mucins secreted by goblet cells (MUC proteins are the major mucins). The network is interconnected by disulfide bonds, which are produced by goblet cells in the intestinal epithelium. The pore size of this hydrated gel-like structure in the inner mucus layer does not allow bacterial penetration. In the outer mucus layer, the mucus network is looser due to the activity of proteases, thus allowing bacteria to invade. As shown in FIG. 5, compared with the NC group, HFD can significantly reduce the protein expression of MUC2, KLF4 and TFF3, and supplement of spinach extract rich in chlorophyll can significantly increase the protein expression of MUC2, KLF4 and TFF3, and has a certain repair function on the chemical barrier of the intestinal tract.
Furthermore, as shown in fig. 6, immunohistochemistry results further showed that the NCCHL group mice had significantly increased mucin expression from colon tissue MUC2 compared to the NC group. Notably, the HFD group significantly down-regulated the expression level of MUC2, and MIC2 protein staining of goblet cells in the colon was significantly enhanced in the HFCHL group mice, and therefore, chlorophyll-rich spinach extract might improve impaired mucus barrier in high-fat diet mice, mainly by increasing the expression of MUC 2.
Example 4 Effect of chlorophyll on the Absolute abundance of sulfate-reducing bacteria in the gut of high-fat diet mice
Sulfide production by sulfate-reducing bacteria reduces disulfide bonds in the mucus network in the gut, thereby disrupting the polymeric MUC2 network. As a result, the mucus layer becomes less viscous and more permeable, causing toxic compounds and bacteria present in the intestinal lumen to contact the surface of epithelial cells, thereby causing inflammation. As shown in fig. 7, by measuring the absolute abundance of the initial sulfate-reducing bacteria (fig. 7A) and the final (after 13 weeks) sulfate-reducing bacteria (fig. 7B), no significant difference was found in the absolute quantification of the initial sulfate-reducing bacteria. Supplementation with 13 weeks of high-fat diet significantly increased the absolute abundance of sulfate-reducing bacteria, while supplementation with chlorophyll-rich spinach extract decreased the abundance of sulfate-reducing bacteria in the intestinal tract of high-fat diet mice. Sulfide production by sulfate-reducing bacteria may reduce disulfide bonds in the mucus network, thereby cleaving the polymeric MUC2 network, thereby further determining H in the colon2S (FIG. 7C) and trisulfide in stool (FIG. 7D), supplementation of chlorophyll-rich spinach extract was found to reduce H in the colon2S and the level of trisulphide in the feces indicate that chlorophyll-rich spinach extract prevents sulphide formation by down-regulating the abundance of sulphate-reducing bacteria, avoiding damage to the mucus barrier.
In addition, studies indicate that high-fat and high-sugar diet can increase the abundance of Desulfovibrio (Desulfovibrio) in sulfate-reducing bacteria, can produce excessive LPS (lipopolysaccharide), further induces intestinal leakage, causes the LPS to permeate intestinal epithelial cells, enter a blood circulation system and induce metabolic endotoxemia. Therefore, the present study measured the LPS levels in the blood of mice. As shown in fig. 8, the serum LPS levels in HFD mice were significantly increased compared to NC group, indicating that high fat diet caused "intestinal leakage" in mice, while the serum LPS levels in HFCHL group were significantly lower than HFD, indicating that chlorophyll-rich spinach extract decreased intestinal permeability, thereby preventing the intestinal barrier function from being impaired and alleviating intestinal inflammation.
