Cai, Bingna published the artcileComposition characterization of oyster polysaccharides from Crassostrea hongkongensis and their protective effect against H2O2-induced oxidative damage in IEC-6 cells, Name: (2R,3S,4S,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-Pentahydroxyhexanal, the main research area is Crassostrea small intestine epithelial cell polysaccharide oxidative damage; IEC-6; Oxidative stress; Oyster polysaccharide.
In this study, we aimed to measure the ability of oyster polysaccharides to promote IEC-6 cell migration and antioxidant activity and further describe their cytoprotective effect on H2O2-challenged IEC-6 cells. The C30-60% fraction of polysaccharides (CHP2) showed rapid stimulation of IEC-6 cell migration after wounding. Then, CHP2 was fractionated into four fractions, namely, CHP2-1, CHP2-2, CHP2-3 and CHP2-4. The CHP2-3 fraction possessed high scavenging activities against 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), in comparison with other fractions. And CHP2-3 was heteropolysaccharide with sulfuric esters, and it was mainly composed of glucose, galactose and arabinose and had an average mol. weight of 41.81 kDa. Pretreatment with CHP2 and CHP2-3 significantly improved the survival rate of H2O2-treated IEC-6 cells, and reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Moreover, CHP2-3 also significantly decreased H2O2-mediated increases in the secretion of IL-1β and interleukin-6 (IL-6), and attenuated NF-kB p65 activation. These results indicate that CHP2-3 may play a vital role in reducing oxidative damage in IEC-6 cells via radical scavenging, decreasing proinflammatory factors secretion, inhibiting the NF-kB pathway, and thus, reducing cell apoptosis.
