Abstract
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are beneficial metabolites of intestinal microbiota. The regulation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum on the uptake of SCFAs (acetic, propionic, and butyric acids) and their transporters by intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells were investigated. Results indicated that the absorption of SCFAs by cells was significantly increased by L. plantarum f2, f28, and f5 (P < 0.05); but there are significant differences between L. plantarum f19 and f16 in regulating cells absorption of SCFAs (P < 0.05). The protein and mRNA expression levels of monocarboxylate transporter 1, Na+/H+ exchanger 2 (NHE2), NHE3, and putative anion transporter 1 transporters in cells were significantly regulated by surface proteins (SP) of f19 and f16 (P < 0.05); meanwhile, there are also significant differences between the SP of f19 and f16 in regulating transporters (P < 0.05). L. plantarum f19 and f16 improve the absorption of SCFAs by intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells by regulating the expression of SCFAs transporters through their SP.
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.
