Abstract:
Previous work has shown that egg white-derived peptide QIGLF has significant in vivo antihypertensive activity. This study aimed to clarify the antihypertensive mechanisms of QIGLF on spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) by a serum proteomic approach. Here, the tandem mass tag (TMT) quantitative proteomic was performed to discover serum protein changes in SHRs with QIGLF. As a result, SHRs with 4 weeks of QIGLF treatment have distinct serum protein expression profiles by principal component and Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis. Based on Gene Ontology (GO) annotation, oxygen transport and organelle fusion were found to be a regulated major biological process. Besides, aldosterone regulated sodium reabsorption, mitophagy, gap junction, and tight junction were significantly regulated based on the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. QIGLF might exert antihypertensive effects in the SHRs by inhibiting Na+ reabsorption and oxidative stress, restoring gap junction and tight junction.
