Abstract

A novel antioxidative peptide (APVPH I, antioxidative peptides from venison protein hydrolysates I) was purified from venison by enzymatic hydrolysis, column chromatography of DEAE-Sephacel and high performance liquid chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified peptide was found to be 9,853 Da and the amino acid sequences of the purified peptide was Met-Gln-Ile-Phe-Val-Lys-Thr-Leu-Thr-Gly. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of APVPH I against H2O2-induced neuronal cells damage in PC-12 cells. Antioxidative enzyme levels in cultured neuronal cells were increased in the presence of the peptide. In addition, APVPH I inhibited productions of nitric oxide (NO), reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) and cell death against H2O2-induced neuronal cells damage in PC-12 cells. It was presumed to be APVPH I involved in regulating the apoptosis-related gene expression in the cell environment. Present results indicate APVPH I substantially contribute to antioxidative properties in neuronal cells.
