Abstract
Osthole is widely used in medicine because of its anti-oxidative, anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatory. In this study, we explored the protective effects of osthole on food allergenic mice and investigated its potential mechanism of action. We first established a food allergic mouse model by intraperitoneal sensitization and OVA (ovalbumin) oral challenge. Osthole were orally administered before OVA challenge. Diarrhea and allergy scores were used to assess food allergy symptoms. The pathological changes of the intestine were examined by H&E staining and electron microscopy. OVA-IgE, mucosal mast cell protease-1 (mMCP-1), IL-33, ST2, group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2), and regulatory T (Treg) related-cytokine levels were assessed.We found that the oral administration of osthole after OVA sensitization could improve food allergy symptoms and induce beneficial intestinal pathological changes in mice. Osthole reduce the levels of IgE and mMCP-1 and inhibited the IL33/ST2 signaling pathway, thereby blocking ILC2 response and improving Treg response.
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.
