Abstract Benzo[α]pyrene (BaP) is ubiquitous in foods, and possesses a fatal cytotoxicity. In current study, ten Citrus peels (Chenpi) phenolic derivatives (CPDs) were isolated in a cell model of human intestinal epithelial (Caco-2) cells under BaP-exposure by a bio-assay guided method. Among them, methyl (3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl) valylphenylalaninate (Citrus peels phenolic derivative-2, CPD-2) performed the most protective activity by promoting the antiinflammatory potential on BaP-induced Caco-2 cells. CPD-2 inhibited BaP-induced intracellular ROS over-production and inflammatory epithelial cytokine, IL-4, IL-8, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-18 over-expression, but not IL-6. CPD-2 also inhibited BaP-induced NLRP3 inflammasome and AhR signaling pathway activation. Overall, CPD-2 attenuates BaP-induced apoptotic death via promoting the antiinflammatory potentials by inhibiting the NLRP3 and AhR signaling pathways activation of Caco-2 cells. Finally, the Citrus peels phenolic derivatives was observed for the first time against BaP-induced inflammation and oxidative stress in human intestinal epithelial cells.

ABSTRACT Intestinal epithelial cell-derived interleukin (IL)-7 functions as a pleiotropic and nonredundant cytokine in the human intestinal mucosa; however, the molecular basis of its production has remained totally unknown. We here showed that human intestinal epithelial cells both constitutively and when induced by gamma interferon (IFN-γ) produced IL-7, while several other factors we tested had no effect. Transcriptional regulation via an IFN regulatory factor element (IRF-E) on the 5′ flanking region, which lacks canonical core promoter sequences, was pivotal for both modes of IL-7 expression. IRF-1 and IRF-2, the latter of which is generally known as a transcriptional repressor, were shown to interact with IRF-E and transactivate IL-7 gene expression in an IFN-γ-inducible and constitutive manner, respectively. Indeed, tetracycline-inducible expression experiments revealed that both of these IRF proteins up-regulated IL-7 protein production, and their exclusive roles were further confirmed by small interfering RNA-mediated gene silencing systems. Moreover, these IRFs displayed distinct properties concerning the profile of IL-7 transcripts upon activation and expression patterns within human colonic epithelial tissues. These results suggest that the functional interplay between IRF-1 and IRF-2 serves as an elaborate and cooperative mechanism for timely as well as continuous regulation of IL-7 production that is essential for local immune regulation within human intestinal mucosa.
