Cyperus peptide SFRWQ inhibits oxidation and inflammation in RAW264.7 cell model.
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules 2024 March 32
Oxidative stress can induce many diseases. Antioxidant peptides from food sources have the advantages of good safety, high activity, and good absorbability. In this study, a pentapeptide (SFRWQ; SER-PHE-ARG-TRP-GLN) was identified in a protein hydrolysate of Cyperus (Cyperus esculentus L.). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), real-time quantitative (qPCR), immunofluorescence and other techniques were used to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of SFRWQ. SFRWQ was found to have 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical-scavenging ability, help increase superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) levels in RAW264.7 cells, reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and decrease tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene expression and secretion. The binding score of SFRWQ to recombinant Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) was greater than that of TX6. These findings suggest that SFRWQ activates the Keap1-Nrf2 cellular antioxidant signaling pathway. According to metabolomics studies, SFRWQ increased glutathione (GSH), glutathione disulfide (GSSG), and γ-glutamylcysteine levels and decreased the levels of Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and Prostaglandin H2 (PGH2), which are involved in arachidonic acid metabolism, to protect cells from LPS-induced damage. By elucidating the mechanism of action of SFRWQ, we provide a reference for the development of dietary antioxidant peptides.
