Abstract
Intestinal tight junction disruption initiates pathogenesis of colitis and determines diseases progression. At present, there is no therapeutics that directly corrects intestinal tight junction disassembly. Here, we discovered that Ocimum sanctum L. flower aqueous extract (OSLF) and gallic acid, increased intestinal barrier function by suppressing tight junction-dependent leak pathway permeability after being disrupted by Ca2+ depletion method. Transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) measurement, western blot analysis, immunofluorescence staining, and molecular docking indicated that OSLF and gallic acid improved intestinal barrier function by inducing tight junction assembly and inhibiting leak pathway permeability in intestinal epithelial cell monolayers via CaMKK-β/AMPK/SIRT-1/ERK-dependent fashion. Therefore, Gallic acid represents a drug candidate for treating diseases associated impaired intestinal barrier function including colitis.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
