Identification and characterization of cholesterol esterase and lipase inhibitory peptides from amaranth protein hydrolysates.

ABSTRACT: Human diet is undergoing a shift towards plant-based diet as a sustainable source of protein compared to animal-derived protein. In this study, cholesterol esterase (CEase) and pancreatic lipase (PL) inhibitory activities of amaranth protein hydrolysates (APHs) were studied. Bromelain, chymotrypsin, and actinase E were used for generating APHs at 2, 4 & 6 h of hydrolysis. Higher PL inhibiting potential were observed in bromelain-derived APHs (IC₅₀ = 0.38-0.66 mg/mL) in comparison to intact amaranth proteins (IC₅₀ = 3.93 mg/mL). Bromelain-4 h hydrolysates (AB4) demonstrated significant inhibitory potential for both CEase (IC₅₀ = 0.47 mg/mL) and PL (IC₅₀ = 0.48 mg/mL) activity. Peptide identification in AB-4 hydrolysate revealed that among 17 bioactive peptides, three peptides (FPFPPTLGY, FGAPR, and FPFVPAPT) were predicted as potential PL inhibitors and only one peptide (FPFVPAPT) was predicted as CEase inhibitor based on the number of substrate binding sites on active site of the enzymes. This is the first study providing insights into amaranth protein derived bioactive peptide possessing CEase and LIP inhibitory potential.

Project description:In the present study, the antidiabetic properties of Trachinotus ovatus protein hydrolysates (TOH) in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice were investigated, and peptides with α-amylase (AAM) and dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory activities were identified and screened. The results showed that TOH alleviated body weight loss, polyphagia, blood glucose elevation and insulin secretion decline in diabetic mice. After 4 weeks of TOH administration, random blood glucose (RBG) decreased significantly. The TOH groups showed a dose-dependent reduction in fasting blood glucose (FBG), especially in the high-dose TOH group, which reduced FBG by 58% versus the effect of metformin. Moreover, TOH exerted a remarkable protective effect on hepatorenal function, as evidenced by increased superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and decreased serum urea levels. Histopathological studies confirmed that TOH can significantly protect the kidney and pancreas from histological changes, which was of great benefit for ensuring the normal secretion of insulin and preventing the occurrence of complications such as diabetic nephropathy. Two fractions with higher inhibitory activity against AAM and DPP-IV, F4 and F6, were obtained from the ultrafiltration of TOH-2 (≤3 kDa). A total of 19 potentially active peptides from F4 and 3 potentially active peptides from F6 were screened by LC‒MS/MS combined with bioinformatic analysis. These peptides are small molecular peptides composed of 2-6 amino acids, rich in characteristic amino acids such as proline, arginine, phenylalanine and asparagine, and contain high proportions of peptides (68% for F4, 67% for F6) with hydrophobicity ≥50%. They offer potent antidiabetic potential and could potentially bind to the active sites in the internal cavities of the target enzymes AAM and DPP-IV. In summary, this study revealed for the first time the antidiabetic effects of protein hydrolysates of Trachinotus ovatus and their derived peptides, which are promising natural ingredients with the potential to be used for the treatment or prevention of diabetes.
