Pectin Oligosaccharides Ameliorate Colon Cancer by Regulating Oxidative Stress- and Inflammation-Activated Signaling Pathways.

ABSTRACT: Colon cancer (CC) is the third common neoplasm worldwide, and it is still a big challenge for exploring new effective medicine for treating CC. Natural product promoting human health has become a hot topic and attracted many researchers recently. Pectin, a complex polysaccharide in plant cell wall, mainly consists of four major types of polysaccharides: homogalacturonan, xylogalacturonan, rhamnogalacturonan I and II, all of which can be degraded into various pectin oligosaccharides (POS) and may provide abundant resource for exploring potential anticancer drugs. POS have been regarded as a novel class of potential functional food with multiple health-promoting properties. POS have antibacterial activities against some aggressive and recurrent bacterial infection and exert beneficial immunomodulation for controlling CC risk. However, the molecular functional role of POS in the prevention of CC risk and progression remains doubtful. The review focuses on antioxidant and anti-inflammatory roles of POS for promoting human health by regulating some potential oxidative and inflammation-activated pathways, such as ATP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor-2 (Nrf2), and nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) pathways. The activation of these signaling pathways increases the antioxidant and antiinflammatory activities, which will result in the apoptosis of CC cells or in the prevention of CC risk and progression. Thus, POS may inhibit CC development by affecting antioxidant and antiinflammatory signaling pathways AMPK, Nrf2, and NF-?B. However, POS also can activate signal transduction and transcriptional activator 1 and 3 signaling pathway, which will reduce antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and promote CC progression. Specific structural and structurally modified POS may be associated with their functions and should be deeply explored in the future. The present review paper lacks the important information for the linkage between the specific structure of POS and its function. To further explore the effects of prebiotic potential of POS and their derivatives on human immunomodulation in the prevention of CC, the specific POS with a certain degree of polymerization or purified polymers are highly demanded to be performed in clinical practice.

Project description:Fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) in laying hens, a nutritional metabolic disorder disease, can lead to the decline of laying rate, shortening of laying peak period and increase of mortality, which seriously constrain the sustainable development of layer industry. Until now, there is no effective strategies can prevent and control the occurrence of fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome in laying hens. The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a major sensor of cellular energy status, acts a crucial role in regulating lipid metabolism, oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in body. However, the potential molecular mechanisms about AMP-activated protein kinase signal in controlling the occurrence of fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome are remain unclear. In present study, we found that the phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (Thr172) protein level was markedly reduced in palmitic acid plus oleic acid (PO)-induced primary chicken hepatocytes. Moreover, blocked AMP-activated protein kinase signal by AMP-activated protein kinase inhibitor compound C obviously exacerbated lipid metabolism disorders, oxidative stress and inflammatory response triggered by palmitic acid plus oleic acid in primary chicken hepatocytes. Nevertheless, the lipid metabolism disorders, oxidative stress and inflammatory response challenged by palmitic acid plus oleic acid were obviously alleviated through activation of AMP-activated protein kinase signal with AMP-activated protein kinase activator AICAR in hepatocytes. In addition, we found that the beneficial effects of AMP-activated protein kinase signal in relieving lipid metabolism disorders, oxidative stress and inflammatory response are achieved by activating the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF-2)/kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) pathway and inhibiting the NF-κB pathway in PO-stimulated primary chicken hepatocytes. Collectively, our data demonstrated that AMP-activated protein kinase acts as a potential target for the prevention of fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome occurrence in laying hens.
