Abstract
Food-grade aqueous extracts from edible plants has the potential to serve as alternative agent for preventing H. pylori infection, due to high safety and antibacterial effects. Therefore, we evaluated the anti-H. pylori effects of 17 edible plants. Our results revealed that the aqueous extract of Rosa rugosa cv. ‘Plena’ (RA) emerged as the most potent anti-H. pylori agent. RA altered the morphology of H. pylori from spiral rods into coccoid forms, damaged its ultrastructure, inhibited its motility and urease activity. Utilizing network pharmacology analysis and qPCR, the mechanisms by which RA inhibited the aberrant activation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in gastric epithelial cells were confirmed. In conclusion, this study is the first study to report the anti-H. pylori effect and underlying mechanisms of RA, as well as its potential for further development into a novel food-grade agent for preventing H. pylori infections.
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.
