Effects of ultrasonication, boiling, steaming, microwaving and autoclaving pretreatments on the production of sweet potato protein hydrolysates (SPPH) by single and combined Alcalase (ALC) and Protease (PRO) were investigated, as well as antioxidant activities of SPPH subjected to in vitro gastrointestinal digestion (GID). All pretreatments significantly increased the degree of hydrolysis (DH) and antioxidant activities of SPPH by ALC, PRO and ALC + PRO in the order of autoclaving > steaming, microwaving, boiling > ultrasonication (P < 0.05). GID significantly enhanced antioxidant activities and increased MW <3 kDa peptide fraction contents of all SPPH. Diverse peptides were identified as sporamin A, A precursor and sporamin B before and after GID from LC-QTOF-MS/MS analysis. Peptides with higher antioxidant amino acids of Trp, Tyr, Met, Cys, His and Phe were found after GID. There is a great potential application of SPPH as a novel food ingredient as a natural antioxidant.

Probiotics are widely used for their health promoting effects, though a lot remain to be discovered, particularly on their mechanisms of action at the molecular level. The functional genomic approach is an appropriate method to decipher how probiotics may influence human cell fate and therefore contribute to their health benefit. In the present work, we focused on Shouchella clausii (formerly named Bacillus then Alkalihalobacillus clausii), a spore-forming bacterium that is commercially available as a probiotic for the prevention and the treatment of intestinal dysbiosis and related gastrointestinal disorders, such as diarrhoea.

CDK4/6i, the first-line drug for treating ERα-positive breast cancer, significantly improves clinical outcomes. However, CDK4/6i resistance often develops and remains a major hurdle, and the underlying mechanisms remain challenging to fully investigate. Here, we used Genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 library screening combined with single-cell sequencing to screen for molecules mediating CDK4/6i resistance and identified METTL14 as a determinant of CDK4/6i sensitivity.

Erastin, as an effective ferroptosis inducer, has received extensive attention in anti-tumor research. To develop an oral nanocarrier for high efficient loading hydrophobic erastin, here we prepared a fluoro-liposome (FA-3 F-LS) by the self-assembly of the folic acid modified fluorinated amphiphiles-FA-3 F conjugates. The hydrophobic component of three perfluorooctyl chains endows the FA-3 F-LSs with high stability to resist the harsh gastrointestinal tract condition.

Gastric cancer is a malignant gastrointestinal disease characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. The occurrence and progression of gastric cancer are influenced by various factors, including the abnormal alternative splicing of key genes. Recently, RBM39 has emerged as a tumor biomarker that regulates alternative splicing in several types of cancer.

Hawthorn leave flavonoids (HLF) are widely used as an herb or dietary supplements for cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. However, its gastrointestinal absorption behavior and mechanism have not been disclosed. In this study, gastrointestinal absorption and its regulation of 4''-O-glucosylvitexin (GLV), 2''-O-rhamnosylvitexin (RHV), vitexin (VIT), rutin (RUT) and hyperoside (HP) in HLF were investigated using in vitro, in situ and in vivo models.
