Antioxidant capacity and Peptidomic analysis of in vitro digested Camelina Sativa L. Crantz and Cynara cardunculus co- products

ABSTRACT: In recent decades, the food system has been faced with the significant problem of increasing food waste. Indeed, as reported by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), approximately 1.3 billion tonnes of food are lost or wasted globally each year (FAO, 2011). For this reason, the European Union has implemented multiple strategies to ensure the sustainability of the food/feed sector. Among these, the Agenda 2030, later supported by the Green Deal, plays a major role, whose goal is to ensure a competitive, clean and circular economy (Fetting, 2020; Vastolo et al., 2022). For this reason, scientific research is investigating the use of non-edible biomass produced along the food chain as co-products (any product obtained from different agro-industrial processes) for livestock (Pinotti et al., 2020; Rakita et al., 2021). As shown by Govoni et al. (2023), the introduction of co-products (11-16%) to replace energy-rich food crops (such as cereals) would conserve 15.4-27.8 Mha of land, 3-19.6 km3 of blue water and 74.2-137.8 km3 of green water, representing an important strategy to ensure environmental sustainability. To date, although many co-products have already been tested (grape marcs, beet pulp, hempseed cake), several more are attracting the interest of the scientific community (Serena and Knudsen, 2007; Muhlack et al., 2018; Lanzoni et al., 2023a). Among these are camelina (Camelina Sativa L. Crantz) and cardoon (Cynara cardunculus), due to both the low environmental footprint and the high nutritional profile (Turco et al., 2019; Singh et al., 2023). More specifically, camelina and cardoon seeds are characterised by a good protein (25.9±2.07% and 16.7% on DM, respectively) and a high lipid (38.9±1.26% and 25-30% on DM, respectively) content (Genovese et al., 2015; Turco et al., 2019; Singh et al., 2023). As reported by Singh et al. (2023) and Petropoulos et al. (2018), the high fatty acid profile of camelina and cardoon seeds, rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (55.6% and 65.43±0.08, respectively) and low in saturated fatty acids (9.04% and 13.23±0. 07%, respectively), prompted the food and feed industry to isolate the lipid fraction for nutritional and nutraceutical purposes, creating in parallel waste products. Among them, camelina cake (CAMC), cardoon cake (CC) and cardoon meal (CM) could be used in animal feed due to their high nutritional profile, as reported by Lolli et al. (2020), Nannucci et al. (2021) and Serrapica et al. (2019). However, the characterisation of the antioxidant profile and the study of bioactive peptides are still at an early stage. Therefore, in light of the above, the aim of this work was to investigate the modulation of total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity during the in vitro digestion process with 2′-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assays of CAMC, CC, and CM. In parallel, peptidomics analyses of in vitro digested CAMC, CC, and CM have been carried out.

In recent decades, the food system has been faced with the significant problem of increasing food waste. Therefore, the feed industry, supported by scientific research, is attempting to valorise the use of discarded biomass as co-products for the livestock sector, in line with EU objectives. In parallel, the search for functional products that can ensure animal health and performances is a common fundamental goal for both animal husbandry and feeding. In this context, camelina cake (CAMC), cardo ...[more]

Project description:CD47 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is ubiquitously expressed in different organs and tissues (Barclay and Van den Berg 2014; Liu, et al. 2017). In the human immune system, CD47 interacts with some integrins, two counter-receptor signal regulator protein (SIRP) family members, and the secreted thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) (Barclay and Van den Berg 2014; Gao, et al. 2016; Kaur, et al. 2013; Oldenborg, et al. 2000). CD47 has two established roles in the immune system. The CD47-SIRPα interaction was identified as a critical innate immune checkpoint, which delivers an antiphagocytic signal to macrophages and inhibits neutrophil cytotoxicity (Martínez- Sanz, et al. 2021). Its interaction with inhibitory SIRPα is a physiological anti-phagocytic “don’t eat me” signal on circulating red blood cells that is co-opted by cancer cells (Matlung, et al. 2017). Many malignant cells overexpress CD47 (Betancur, et al. 2017; Chao, et al. 2011; Jaiswal, et al. 2009; Majeti, et al. 2009; Oronsky, et al. 2020; Petrova, et al. 2017). CD47/SIRPα-targeted therapeutics have been developed to overcome this immune checkpoint for cancer treatment (Kaur, et al. 2020; Matlung, et al. 2017). Secondly, engagement of CD47 on T cells by TSP1 regulates their differentiation and survival (Grimbert, et al. 2006; Lamy, et al. 2007) and inhibits T cell receptor signaling and antigen presentation by dendritic cells (DCs) (Kaur, et al. 2014; Li, et al. 2002; Liu, et al. 2015; Miller, et al. 2013; Soto-Pantoja, et al. 2014; Weng, et al. 2014). TSP1/CD47 signaling has similar inhibitory functions to limit NK cell activation (Kim, et al. 2008; Nath, et al. 2018; Nath, et al. 2019; Schwartz, et al. 2019) and IL1β production by macrophages (Stein, et al. 2016). CD47 is therefore a checkpoint that regulates both innate and adaptive immunity. The recent understanding of CD47 antagonism associated with increased antigen presentation by DCs (Liu, et al. 2016) and natural killer cell cytotoxicity (Nath, et al. 2019) contributes to the heightened interest in CD47 as a therapeutic target (Kaur, et al. 2020).

Project description:Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a group of molecules that occur naturally in all living organisms and help them to defend against various pathogens, including fungi, bacteria and viruses (Gan et al., 2021). AMPs have a low molecular mass (~2-50 amino acids), are rich in hydrophobic amino acids and have a net positive charge (Huan et al., 2020). Some stable antimicrobial peptides can bind to chitin, an insoluble homopolymer present in several types of biological materials, such as the cell wall of fungi, insects and crustacean shells; however, chitin is not present in plants. Some peptides, including chitinases, vicilins, lectins, 2S albumins and hevein-like peptides, can bind to a matrix composed of chitin. These peptides exhibit antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungal pathogens, and they interact with fungal chitin through the chitin binding site, which plays a significant role in inhibiting fungal growth (Slezina and Odintsova, 2023). The binding site shares structural similarity with hevein, an antimicrobial peptide from the latex of Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. exA. Juss.) Müll. Arg. The main element of all hevein-like peptides is that a conservative chitin-binding site is one of their essential structural modules (Slavokhotova et al., 2017; Azmil et al., 2021). Hevein-like peptides are AMPs that are rich in cysteine, contain 29-45 amino acids and 5-7 residues contain glycine. A main feature of hevein-like peptides is a conservative chitin binding site with the amino acid sequence SXFGY/SXYGY, in which X is any amino acid residue (Beintema, 1994). In addition, these peptides are present in the plant cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptide superfamily, are 2-6 kDa in weight, contain 6-10 Cys residues and contain three to five disulfide bridges (Tam et al., 2015). They also possess structural motifs composed of three antiparallel beta sheets and a short α-helix, which are stabilized by 3-5 disulfide bonds (Odintsova et al., 2020). Previously, hevein-like peptides have been reported to exhibit activity against several fungal microorganisms with or without chitin in their cell wall (Slezina and Odintsova, 2023). The mechanism underlying the activity of hevein-like peptides is mainly through depolarization of hyphae membrane (Azmil et al., 2021). Recently, several hevein-like peptides have been isolated from several plant species, such as wheat (Odintsova et al., 2020), quinoa (Loo et al., 2021) and moringa (Sousa et al., 2020). These peptides exhibited activity against a range of microorganisms, such as F. oxysporum, F. culmorum, Bipolaris sorokininana, Alternaria alternata and Cladosporium cucumerinum (Odintsova et al., 2020). These findings have encouraged further studies on the application of these molecules against pathogenic fungi, as the molecules exhibit great activity and could be used to create new antifungal medications. Peppers and chilies originate from the tropical Americas and belong to 22 families of Solanaceae and the genus Capsicum; 35 of these species have been domesticated, while the others remain semidomesticated and wild. The plants are dispersed worldwide, and in Brazil, they are cultivated mainly in the states of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Bahia and Goiás; among the various locations, Rio de Janeiro is a special center of diversity (Moscone et al., 2006). These plants are essential solanaceous vegetables with high world economic value. However, the growth, quality and yield of these plants are reduced by biotic (fungal, bactéria and virus infections and pests) and abiotic (drought, salinity and extreme temperatures) factors (Mittler, 2006; Wang et al., 2003). Several AMPs have been isolated from different organs of plants within the Capsicum genus (Oliveira et al., 2022). For example, a hevein-like peptide was identified from C. annuum leaves; this peptide is approximately 4.2 kDa and was named HEVCAN. In addition, the peptide belongs to the chitin-binding domain family and exhibits antimicrobial activity (Oliveira et al., 2022). Our research group has previously isolated and identified several other antimicrobial peptides, such as defensin (Gebara et al., 2020), LTP (Diz et al., 2011), protease inhibitors (Ribeiro et al., 2013) and chitin-binding peptides (Gonçalves et al., 2024), from Capsicum seeds. In this study, we used a chitin affinity column to purify peptide fractions from C. chinense seeds, and these fractions exhibited chitin-binding capacity and activity against yeasts.
