Abstract

In the present study, the rat intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6 cells) were investigated to evaluate the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and DHA-enriched Schizochytrium oil (SZO) on the prevention and alleviation of oxidative damage induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in IEC-6 cells. At first, the IEC-6 cells were incubated with 0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 μg/mL of DHA and SZO for 24 and 48 h to screen the optimal additive concentration and culture time by measuring the cell proliferation index with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) cell viability test kit. After that, in the H2O2 induction before and after, the DHA and SZO were added to the cell culture medium with optimal additive concentration. At the end of the culture, the cells and medium supernatant were collected to test the antioxidant index and inflammatory factors expression level, as well as intracellular nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathways expression. The results showed that the optimal additive concentration and culture time of DHA were 40 μg/mL and 24 h, respectively. The DHA and SZO treatment increased the total antioxidant capacity and activities of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase) of H2O2-induced IEC-6 cells, decreased the contents of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde, and the antioxidant enzyme activities of alleviation effect were significantly higher than those of prevention effect (P<0.05). The Western blot results indicated that the DHA and SZO treatment decreased the protein expression levels of NF-κB, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) of H2O2-induced IEC-6 cells, and increased the Nrf2 protein expression level. Otherwise, the TNF-α protein expression level of alleviation effect of SZO treatment was significantly lower than that of prevention effect (P<0.05). In summary, DHA and SZO can enhance antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ability by activating Nrf2 and inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathways, to prevent and alleviate H2O2-induced oxidative stress in IEC-6 cells, and the alleviation effect against oxidative damage of SZO is higher than the preventive effect.

二十二碳六烯酸(docosahexaenoic acid,DHA)是一种n-3多不饱和脂肪酸(polyunsaturated fatty acids,PUFA),在过去的几十年里,DHA对人类和动物的有益作用已得到广泛和系统的研究[1]。研究指出,DHA可以预防炎症、氧化应激、癌症、糖尿病和细菌感染,还可以促进人和动物的胆固醇代谢、减少血栓形成、提高免疫力、缓解近视等[2-3]。目前,DHA的来源主要有2种,一种是鱼油,另一种是海洋微藻。在海洋微藻中,裂殖壶藻(Schizochytrium sp.)作为最有前景的DHA生产藻株之一,已经被广泛用于工业生产DHA[4],并且近年来得到了研究人员的广泛关注[5]
氧化损伤是炎症性肠病发病的主要机制之一[6]。在氧化损伤过程中,胃肠道暴露于过量的活性氧(reactive oxygen species,ROS)中,致使细胞促炎因子产生过度,细胞内氧化还原平衡被打破,最终导致肠道炎症的发生[7]。Farzaei等[8]对饮食补充抗氧化剂对炎症性肠病的影响进行了综述,表明抗氧化剂能够清除过剩的ROS,抑制炎症反应,增强机体抗氧化防御能力,从而缓解肠道炎症和损伤。研究显示,过氧化氢(H2O2)是ROS的主要来源之一,被广泛应用于建立细胞氧化损伤模型[9]
现在已经证实饮食中补充n-3 PUFA与改善健康和预防疾病有关,特别是补充DHA[1]。Che等[10]给小鼠口服饲喂富二十二碳六烯酸磷脂(DHA-PL)和富二十二碳六烯酸甘油三酯(DHA-TG)14 d,在第8天利用葡聚糖硫酸钠构建小鼠炎症性肠病模型,结果表明DHA-PL和DHA-TG均能通过抑制肠道氧化应激、下调细胞中促炎因子[肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)和白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)]表达、上调结肠组织中抗炎因子表达等方式逆转结肠炎病理过程。在炎症性肠病的应用中,DHA已经被广泛评估,并且在动物试验中已经证实其具有积极的作用[11]。也有报告显示DHA对炎症性肠病没有影响[12]。在关于鱼油处理对三硝基苯磺酸和硫酸葡聚糖钠诱导的结肠炎症的研究中发现,鱼油处理对大鼠结肠炎几乎没有影响;还有研究显示DHA的抗炎效果具有剂量依赖性,高浓度的DHA对细胞具有损伤作用[13-14]。因此还需要更多的研究确定DHA的最佳剂量,最大限度地提高DHA的有益效果。此外,研究已经表明DHA在肠道菌群[15]、炎症信号通路[16]和促炎因子释放[17]等方面具有显著效果,并且确定了n-3 PUFA在炎症性疾病中的作用机制包括改变细胞膜磷脂脂肪酸组成、破坏脂筏、抑制促炎性转录核因子-κB(nuclear factor kappa-B,NF-κB)的激活从而减少炎症基因的表达[18]。虽然DHA的保护作用长期以来一直与细胞膜流动性的改变有关,但有新的证据表明,这种脂肪酸的作用可能归因于抗炎和抗氧化通路的调节,然而DHA对于肠道氧化应激的预防和缓解机制尚不完全清楚[19]。因此,本研究利用H2O2诱导大鼠小肠上皮细胞(IEC-6细胞)构建氧化应激模型,研究DHA和裂殖壶藻藻油(Schizochytrium oil,SZO)对肠道氧化应激的预防效果和缓解效果,从细胞活力、炎症反应、氧化和抗氧化性能等方面解析其可能的作用机制。

3 讨论

肠上皮细胞内氧化还原失衡会导致肠道发生氧化应激和炎症反应,而促进细胞氧化系统和还原系统达到平衡可以缓解这种损伤。研究表明,膳食补充抗氧化剂或者天然化合物能够改善肠道炎症和黏膜损伤[21]。传统的DHA主要来源于深海鱼油,但随着人们对食品安全和生态问题的日益关注,传统来源的DHA产量受到了影响[22]。裂殖壶藻作为最有前景且安全的DHA生产藻株之一,其油脂中DHA含量最高可以达到55%[23-24]。值得注意的是,裂殖壶藻可以通过发酵罐进行低成本高效率的发酵生产DHA[25]。Yang等[26]通过给小鼠饲喂富含DHA的藻油,发现DHA使头孢曲松钠引起的肠道炎症得到缓解,并且使肠道组织中的TNF-α和IL-1β含量显著下降。Xu等[27]通过硫酸葡聚糖钠诱导小鼠结肠炎模型,然后补饲富含DHA的藻油,发现DHA通过调节肠道微生物群落结构和代谢物以及修复肠道屏障来抑制硫酸葡聚糖钠诱导的结肠炎。本研究中使用的SZO是通过裂殖壶藻提取获得,根据藻油的营养特性和生物利用度研究发现,DHA被认为是藻油中最具代表性的营养成分[28],并且其是主要的脂肪酸,对人和动物健康具有广泛的有益作用,尤其是在抗炎和抗氧化方面[29]
在细胞培养中,添加DHA处理可以提升细胞活力,且具有剂量依赖性[30]。Peng等[31]添加不同浓度(10、20、50、100 μmol/L)的DHA培养C2C12细胞24 h,发现添加50和100 μmol/L的DHA能够抑制细胞生长。Xiao等[32]在猪小肠上皮细胞(IPEC-1细胞)的培养基中添加不同浓度的DHA,结果表明在添加25 μg/mL的DHA条件下细胞活力最佳。本研究中,在40 μg/mL DHA添加浓度下细胞活力最佳,最适浓度的差异可能与DHA的来源及细胞类型等有关。有研究通过补充长链不饱和脂肪酸研究其对于金枪鱼SBT-E1细胞的影响时发现,高浓度的DHA会降低细胞增殖,并且在培养基中添加抗氧化剂能够缓解DHA的负面影响,原因可能是高浓度DHA会引起细胞的氧化应激,导致细胞活力下降[33]。本研究中,等量DHA条件下80 μg/mL DHA处理对IEC-6细胞生长具有抑制作用,而相应的SZO处理没有这种抑制作用,其原因可能与SZO中含有0.76%的二十碳五烯酸有关。有研究指出,二十碳五烯酸也具有抗炎和抗氧化等作用,且其抗炎作用优于DHA[34]。另外,有研究发现二十碳五烯酸(6.25~25.00 μg/mL)能够显著促进IPEC-1细胞的增殖[32]。因此SZO处理条件下细胞活力未下降可能是由于SZO中存在二十碳五烯酸。
H2O2是ROS的主要来源,对细胞活力有潜在危害,会使细胞内ROS含量增加,被广泛应用于建立氧化应激模型。本研究中,H2O2处理使对照组IEC-6细胞中ROS含量增加,同时使抗氧化酶(SOD、CAT和GSH-Px)活性下降,这说明本研究构建的IEC-6细胞氧化损伤模型成立。Bettaib等[35]在研究红花多枝柽柳酚类提取物对H2O2诱导的IEC-6细胞的保护作用时,使用40 μmol/L H2O2诱导4 h构建氧化应激模型,与本试验诱导条件一致。对于细胞而言,ROS损伤在生理情况下能够被包括酶和非酶抗氧化剂的抗氧化系统阻断[36]。Nrf2信号通路是氧化应激反应中最常见的抗氧化信号通路,Nrf2是其中重要的转录因子,也是调节中心[37]。正常生理状态下,Nrf2被泛素化或降解使其维持在低水平。当氧化应激发生时,Nrf2的泛素化和降解减少,并进入细胞核中积累,激活抗氧化反应元件(antioxidant response element,ARE),该通路主要作用是下调其下游的抗氧化酶包括SODCATGSH-Px等的表达[38]。有研究表明,DHA可激活永生化肝细胞(C3A)中Nrf2的表达[39]。本研究中,DHA和SZO能够提高H2O2诱导的抗氧化酶(SOD、CAT、GSH-Px)活性,从而缓解了H2O2造成的损伤。此外,免疫印迹结果也证实Nrf2蛋白表达量在DHA和SZO处理条件下增加。综上所述,DHA和SZO可能是通过Nrf2信号通路调节IEC-6细胞氧化应激。
大量的研究已经证实ROS参与促进炎症的发生[40-41]。在H2O2造成的肠上皮细胞损伤中,ROS会过度积累并伴有炎症因子(TNF-α、IL-1β等)的产生[42-43],这与本研究结果一致。ELISA结果表明,在DHA和SZO处理条件下TNF-α蛋白表达下调,ZH组中TNF-α蛋白表达量最低。NF-κB是一种重要的转录因子,其活性与氧化应激和ROS含量有关[41-44]。细胞内炎症细胞因子的表达受激活的NF-κB信号通路的调节[45]。在本研究中,使用免疫印迹检测细胞NF-κB、TNF-α和IL-1β的蛋白表达,H2O2刺激增加了IEC-6细胞中NF-κB的蛋白表达,然而使用DHA和SZO处理后,NF-κB、TNF-α和IL-1β的蛋白表达被抑制了;其中ZH组中TNF-α的蛋白表达量最低,这与ELISA结果相一致。

4 结论

DHA和SZO可以通过Nrf2和NF-κB信号通路预防和缓解H2O2诱导的IEC-6细胞的氧化应激和炎症反应,且SZO缓解效果优于预防效果。
