- Abstract
In this paper, electron beam irradiated rice protein hydrolysates (ERPHs) were assessed for their ability to prevent hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress in human HepG-2 cells. The related mechanism was also studied by analyzing the structural changes. Cytotoxicity experiments showed that rice protein hydrolysates pretreated with electron beam irradiation (EBI) were not toxic to cells if appropriate concentrations were applied. Cell viability markedly increased when the cells were treated with ERPHs before H2O2 induction. Furthermore, the ERPHs effectively suppressed H2O2-induced ROS production and lipid peroxidation and increased the protein expression levels of the intracellular antioxidant enzymes SOD, GSH-Px and CAT in H2O2-stressed HepG-2 cells. Consequently, the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and cell apoptosis was alleviated. Circular dichroism analysis showed that pretreatment of rice protein with EBI significantly changed the secondary structure (the conversion of α-helices to random coils), which is beneficial to the improvement of its antioxidative activity. ERPHs exhibited stronger antioxidative effects than those without irradiation, possibly because of the difference in molecular weight distribution and amino acid composition. These findings indicate an efficient way to produce peptides with better antioxidant activity.
