Abstract
Fish oil has been widely recognized as an excellent dietary source of polyunsaturated n-3 fatty acids such as EPA
and DHA. However, it can undergo oxidation easily resulting
in the formation of toxic off flavor compounds such as hydro-
peroxides. These compounds adversely affect the nutritional
quality and may induce several stress reactions in body. To
solve this problem, a new antioxidant bio-material, vanillic
acid-grafted chitosan (Va-g-Ch), was synthesized and used
as a wall material for microencapsulation of fish oil. The sar-
dine oil loaded Va-g-Ch microparticles could be a potential
functional food ingredient considering the numerous health
benefits of fish oil, chitosan, and vanillic acid. The current
study aimed to investigate the possible protective effect of
sardine oil-loaded Va-g-Ch microparticles against
doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity and the underlying mech-
anisms. In vitro cytotoxicity evaluation was conducted using
H9c2 cardiomyocytes. MTT assay revealed that effective
cytoprotective effect was induced by a sample concentration
of 12.5 μg/mL. Results of apoptosis by double fluorescent
staining with acridine orange/ethidium bromide and caspase-
3 evaluation by ELISA substantiated the above findings.
Further, flow cytometric determination of membrane poten-
tial, relative expression of NF-κB by PCR, and ROS determi-
nation using DCFH-DA also confirmed the protective effect
of encapsulated sardine oil against doxorubicin-induced
cardiotoxicity. NF-κB expression was down-regulated nearly
by 50% on cells treated with encapsulated sardine oil.
Altogether, the results revealed that sardine oil-loaded Va-g-
Ch microparticles demonstrated potential cell protection
against doxorubicin-induced oxidative stress
