TL;DR: It is suggested that oligophosphopeptides from hen egg yolk phosvitin possess novel antioxidative activity against oxidative stress in intestinal epithelial cells and that phosphorus and peptide structure seem to have a key role in the activity.
Abstract: The protective effects of hen egg yolk phosvitin phosphopeptides (PPPs) against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress were evaluated in an in vitro assay using human intestinal epithelial cells. Caco-2 cells were stimulated with 1 mM H2O2 for 6 h, and the secretion of IL-8, a proinflammatory mediator, was determined by ELISA as a biomarker of oxidative stress. The inhibition of H2O2-induced IL-8 secretion from Caco-2 cells was observed by pretreatment for 2 h with PPPs, but not with phosvitin. PPPs also suppressed the formation of malondialdehyde in H2O2-treated Caco-2 cells. Furthermore, intracellular glutathione levels and glutathione reductase activity were elevated by the addition of PPPs. The protective effects of PPPs against H2O2-induced oxidative stress were almost the same as that of glutathione, and PPPs with a high content of phosphorus exhibited higher protective activity than PPPs without phosphorus; however, phosphoserine itself did not show any significant antioxidative stress a...
