Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of apigenin, a flavonoid widely distributed in plants, on AK23-induced desmoglein3 (Dsg3) depletion in pemphigus vulgaris (PV) model using HaCaT cells. Dispase-based dissociation assay showed that the number of cell fragments, which increased compared to the control group due to AK23 treatment, dramatically decreased when HaCaT cells were incubated with AK23 and apigenin. The continuous linear fluorescence intensity of Dsg3 between cells was decreased in the AK23 group, but the treatment of apigenin recovered the fluorescent distribution of Dsg3. Moreover, the addition of apigenin up-regulated the Dsg3 protein expression in AK23-treated HaCaT cells. The phosphorylation level of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) induced by the AK23 was down-regulated by apigenin. In conclusion, apigenin attenuated AK23-mediated Dsg3 depletion by suppressing the p38 pathway in the PV cell model. Therefore, apigenin could be a functional food material for ameliorating PV.
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.
