Abstract: | Oxidative stress is an automatic mechanism responsible for the commencement and continuance of liver injury. In this study, an antioxidative peptide Val-Thr-Ala-Leu (VTAL) was purified from simulated gastrointestinal digestion of protein hydrolysates of the triploid oyster Magallana gigas. Significant antioxidant activity was identified, as well as a protective effect against acetaminophen (APAP)-induced human liver cancer (HepG2) cells. The results suggested that the antioxidant activity improved in a dose-dependent manner. The highest cell viability (88.105?±?3.62%) was observed in 15 mM APAP-induced cells when treated with 25 μg/mL M. gigas peptide [M.g (pep)]. The peptide sequences include hydrophobic amino acids, which could be responsible for its chemoprotective and antioxidant activities. Treatment with M.g (pep) significantly promoted the proliferation of HepG2 cells, thus protecting them against APAP and imbuing them with significant antioxidant capacity. M.g (pep) could be beneficial for treating drug-induced oxidative stress and liver damage. Additionally, M.g (pep) could serve as an alternative to synthetic antioxidant drugs. |
