Article Abstract

Ripened cheeses contain bioactive peptides that are released from caseins by enzymatic hydrolysis during fermentation and ripening. However, the physiological relevance of these peptides depends on their stability during gastrointestinal digestion and their bioavailability. This study aimed to assess the impact of digestion on the peptide profile of the young Gouda Holland cheese. Using liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS), we monitored the peptide profile changes during in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion. In total, 54 peptide sequences were identified in cheese (20), gastric (20), and intestinal digests (24). Ten peptides were derived from α-casein, 43 from β-casein, and 1 from κ-casein. Most of the identified peptides were exclusive to one of the analyzed samples, revealing the alteration of the peptide profile during digestion. Two peptides were resistant to digestion, including β-CN(f193-209) with reported antithrombin, antimicrobial, and ACE-inhibitory effects. These results demonstrate the dual role of digestion in both degrading and releasing bioactive peptides and emphasize the importance of using digestion models to assess the bioactive potential of peptides in dairy products.

Mouse intestine as a useful model for CFTR electrophysiology function analysis.

Methods Cell Biol

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder primarily known for its severe impact on lung function, but it also significantly affects the digestive system, leading to complications such as intestinal blockages, malabsorption, inflammation, and microbial dysbiosis. The study of CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) effects on intestinal physiology is critical for developing new effective treatments. This work highlights the use of the mouse intestine as a valuable model for analyzing cellular electrophysiology and CFTR function.

Reducing allergenicity of Trachinotus ovatus parvalbumin: Insights into digestibility and IgE-binding ability after dense phase CO₂ treatment.

Parvalbumin (PV), a thermostable and digestion-resistant fish allergen, has been shown to retain its allergenic potential following traditional treatments, thus posing a persistent allergic risk. The study investigated the digestive kinetics and IgE immunoreactivity of Trachinotus ovatus PV, a major fish allergen, under different treatments (untreated; DPCD treatment-15 MPa, 30 min, 50 °C; heat treatment), to evaluate its allergenic potential alterations. The analysis was conducted using a combination of techniques to assess the proteolytic stability and IgE-binding capacity of PV, including Tris-Tricine-SDS-PAGE, Western blot (WB), indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and free amino group quantification.

Effectiveness and Safety of Orodispersible Budesonide for Eosinophilic Esophagitis: A Multicenter Real-World Study.

Background And Aims: Topical corticosteroids represent one of the effective first-line treatment options for EoE, and therapy with budesonide orodispersible tablets (BOTs) has been recently approved for the treatment of EoE and showed great efficacy in randomized-controlled clinical trials, however real-life data is lacking. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment with BOTs in adult EoE patients in a real-life setting.

Methods: In this prospective study, clinical, histologic, endoscopic, and safety measures were assessed.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) represent a paradigm shift and a therapeutic revolution in the management of mismatch repair-deficient/microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) colorectal cancer (CRC), and therefore for patients with Lynch syndrome (LS). The risk of developing metachronous cancers and colorectal polyps in a population of LS patients treated with ICI(s) is not well understood.

Materials And Methods: In a single-center cohort study, we retrospectively reviewed 93 LS patients from the prospective 'ImmunoMSI' cohort, who were diagnosed with dMMR/MSI-H gastrointestinal cancer and were treated with ICIs for index metastatic gastrointestinal cancer between February 2015 and April 2024.

Protein Deamidation Reduced Digestive Resistance and Amyloid Antigenicity of Soy Proteins via Depolymerization.

Soy protein remains a key component of plant-based food development, but its application is challenged by inherent allergenicity. Previous work identified that native amyloid-like protein aggregates in soy 7S globulin that resist gastrointestinal digestion and exhibit pronounced antigenicity. Herein, we demonstrate that protein deamidation significantly enhances proteolysis under an infant gastrointestinal digestion model, leading to ∼80 and 50% reductions in IgG- and IgE-binding capacities, respectively.
