Covalent conjugation with polyphenol reduced the sensitization of walnut and ameliorated allergy by enhancing intestinal epithelial barrier in mice
FOOD CHEMISTRY(2024)
摘要
In order to reduce the sensitization of walnut protein (WP), the effects of the interaction between WP and (-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), quercetin, trans-ferulic acid, and resveratrol were investigated. Covalent and non-covalent conjugations were compared. The results suggested that covalent conjugation reduced the free amino acid content, sulfhydryl content, and surface hydrophobicity. When compared to non-covalent conjugation, covalent modification showed a lower IgE binding capacity, accompanied by changes in protein conformation. Moreover, animal experiments revealed that there were up-regulation of transforming growth factor-beta, T-box expressed in t cells, and forkhead transcription factor Foxp3 mRNA expression, and down-regulation of IL4, IL-17, GATA binding protein 3 and retinoid-related orphan nuclear receptor gamma t mRNA expression in the conjugate groups. These results suggested that covalent conjugation of polyphenols, especially EGCG, likely ameliorated allergy by promoting Th1/Th2 and Treg/Th17 balance and alleviating allergy-induced intestinal barrier damage, which might be a support in reducing the allergenicity of WP.
