The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is known to confer protective effects in Salmonella-induced colitis. Although indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and tryptophan (Trp) are known dietary sources of AhR ligands, their combined effects on Salmonella pathogenesis have yet to be fully characterized. We employed a well-established Salmonella colitis model using 6-8-week-old female C57BL/6 mice to evaluate the combined effects of I3C and Trp. Mice were pretreated with oral gavage of I3C (100 mg/kg/day), Trp (100 mg/kg/day), or both for seven consecutive days before infection. The I3C + Trp combination significantly alleviated clinical signs of colitis, reduced cecal mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, CXCL2, IL-17α), and increased expression of immune-modulating genes (IL-22, CRAMP, ATG16L1) compared to individual treatments. Immunohistochemical staining revealed decreased zonulin and claudin-2, and increased occludin, AhR, and vitamin D receptor expression in the cecal mucosa. The combination of I3C and Trp exerts additive protective effects against Salmonella-induced colitis by modulating host immune responses and enhancing epithelial barrier integrity. These results suggest dietary AhR ligands may serve as a promising complementary approach for the prevention and management of invasive salmonellosis.","PeriodicalId":212,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Nutrition & Food Research","volume":"96 1","pages":"e70265"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145182542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the protective effects and mechanisms of quinoa-derived polyphenols (QPs) under glucose-deprived conditions. HepG2 and Huh7 cells were exposed to QPs at 100 or 200 µg/mL for 12 or 24 h under glucose-deprived conditions, while male mice received QPs by gavage at 40 or 80 mg/kg/day for 14 days, followed by a single intraperitoneal injection of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG, 400 mg/kg) to induce ER stress. QPs significantly reduced ER stress markers (GRP78, p-IRE1, XBP1s), restored mitochondrial membrane potential, and attenuated apoptosis. QPs also activated the Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant pathway and improved redox homeostasis. Additionally, QPs enhanced autophagic flux, as evidenced by increased LC3B2, ATG4B, and Beclin 1 and reduced SQSTM1. Pharmacological inhibition studies revealed that autophagy plays a critical role in the QP-mediated relief of ER stress. In vivo, QPs improved hepatic function and suppressed ER stress induced by 2-deoxyglucose. QPs protect hepatocytes from glucose deprivation-induced ER stress and apoptosis by enhancing antioxidant capacity and autophagy. These findings provide new insight into the dietary potential of quinoa polyphenols in preventing metabolic stress-related liver injury.","PeriodicalId":212,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Nutrition & Food Research","volume":"101 1","pages":"e70279"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145153533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Metabolomics analysis of plasma samples at 7 months allowed the identification of 164 metabolites, revealing marked sex differences to gestational restriction. In males, maternal calorie restriction resulted in alterations in 19 metabolites, while only six metabolites showed significant variations in females, consistent with a lower impact of gestational calorie restriction (GCR) on the adult phenotype. Supplementation with myo-inositol normalized the levels of 16 metabolites in males and all six in females. Functionally, myo-inositol mostly targeted liver-associated functions in males and metabolic control functions in females. Mild/moderate GCR leads to significant changes in the metabolomic profiles of adult offspring, with males experiencing higher metabolic alterations. Early postnatal myo-inositol supplementation may be a promising strategy to alleviate the negative metabolic effect of maternal undernutrition. Sex-specific differences in the metabolomic response emphasize the necessity of considering both sexes for effective interventions.","PeriodicalId":212,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Nutrition & Food Research","volume":"95 1","pages":"e70274"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145134598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
