This study identified six antioxidant peptides from in vitro digestion products of pork sausage that could activate the Keap1-Nrf2-ARE pathway, with DWWGSTVR showing the strongest activity. Further research demonstrated that DWWGSTVR can facilitate Nrf2 transfer to the nucleus and increase the expression of antioxidant enzymes. These peptides can potentially be used as functional foods for preventing and treating oxidative stress-induced diseases.
The Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)-nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-antioxidant response elements (ARE) pathway is one of the most important cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative stress. This study focuses on finding antioxidant peptides from in vitro digestion products of pork sausage with partial substitution of NaCl by KCl by virtual screening. Six antioxidant peptides, LIVGFPAYGH, DWWGSTVR, WNSLLIR, IVGFPAYGH, FDNLWDQGL, and LRSPSWDPF, could activate the Keap1-Nrf2-ARE pathway and protect cells from oxidative stress. DWWGSTVR exhibits the most robust activity among them. Further studies indicated that DWWGSTVR could increase the expression of many antioxidant enzymes by enabling the transfer of Nrf2 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. In summary, these six peptides are proven to be Nrf2 activators and could be used as functional foods to prevent and treat various oxidative stress-induced diseases.
