Ascorbic acid offsets the inhibitory effect of bioactive dietary polyphenolic compounds on transepithelial iron transport in Caco-2 intestinal cells.

چکیده
We previously reported that (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and grape seed extract (GSE) at high concentration nearly blocked intestinal iron transport across the enterocyte. In this study, we aimed to determine whether small amounts of EGCG, GSE, and green tea extract (GT) are capable of inhibiting iron absorption, to examine if ascorbic acid counteracts the inhibitory action of polyphenols on iron absorption, and to explore the mechanisms of polyphenol-mediated apical iron uptake and basolateral iron release. An(55)Fe absorption study was conducted by adding various concentrations of EGCG, GSE, and GT using Caco-2 intestinal cells. Polyphenols were found to inhibit the transepithelial (55)Fe transport in a dose-dependent manner. The addition of ascorbic acid offset the inhibitory effects of polyphenols on iron transport. Ascorbic acid modulated the transepithelial iron transport without changing the apical iron uptake and the expression of ferroportin-1 protein in the presence of EGCG. The polyphenol-mediated apical iron uptake was inhibited by membrane impermeable Fe(2+) chelators (P < 0.001), but at a low temperature (4°C), the apical iron uptake was still higher than the control values at 37°C (P < 0.001). These results suggest that polyphenols enhance the apical iron uptake partially by reducing the conversion of ferric to ferrous ions and possibly by increasing the uptake of polyphenol-iron complexes via the energy-independent pathway. The present results indicate that the inhibitory effects of dietary polyphenols on iron absorption can be offset by ascorbic acid. Further studies are needed to confirm the current findings in vivo.

Bioactive dietary polyphenolic compounds reduce nonheme iron transport across human intestinal cell monolayers.
There is persuasive epidemiological evidence that regular intake of dietary bioactive polyphenolic compounds promotes human health. Because dietary polyphenolic compounds have a wide range of effects in vivo and vitro, including chelation of metals such as iron, it is prudent to test whether the regular consumption of bioactive polyphenolic components impair the utilization of dietary iron. We ...
متن کاملThe effect of apotransferrin on iron release from Caco-2 cells, an intestinal epithelial cell line.
The Caco-2 cell line grown in bicameral chambers was used to study the effect of transferrin in the basal chamber on the transepithelial transport of iron. We have shown that when iron was offered as 59Fe on the apical surface of the Caco-2 cells, transport of 59Fe into the basal chamber was stimulated by 50 micromol/L apotransferrin. Here, we examined the effect on 59Fe transport of lower conc...
متن کاملIron regulates the uptake of ascorbic acid and the expression of sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter 1 (SVCT1) in human intestinal Caco-2 cells.
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) has major effects on the intestinal uptake and utilisation of Fe in humans. The objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of Fe on the acquisition of ascorbic acid. The strategy was to study the cellular uptake and transport of ascorbic acid in the presence of Fe and also to observe the expression of the Na-dependent vitamin C transporter 1 (SVCT1) p...
متن کاملLack of dose-responsive effect of dietary phyto-oestrogens on transepithelial calcium transport in human intestinal-like Caco-2 cells.
Ca absorption has been shown to be unaffected by high luminal concentrations of two commonly consumed soyabean phyto-oestrogens (PO) (genistein and daidzein) in Caco-2 cells grown under oestrogen-depleted conditions. However, these compounds exhibit dose-dependent biphasic effects in some tissues, such as reproductive tissue and bone. Thus, in light of this biphasic activity, the effect of lowe...
متن کاملThe effect of oestrogen and dietary phyto-oestrogens on transepithelial calcium transport in human intestinal-like Caco-2 cells.
Recently, dietary phyto-oestrogens (PO) have been suggested as possible alternatives to oestrogen therapy (hormone replacement therapy) as a means of preventing bone loss associated with ovarian hormone deficiency. While PO, which exhibit oestrogen-like activity, act directly on bone cells, their protective effect on bone may be partly due to their ability to enhance Ca absorption. Therefore, t...
