PG - 128340 LID - S0141-8130(23)05239-X [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128340 [doi] AB - Interactions between plant polyphenols and food allergens may be a new way to alleviate food allergies. The non-covalent interactions between the major allergen from peanut (Ara h 2) with procyanidin dimer (PA2) were therefore characterized using spectroscopic, thermodynamic, and molecular simulation analyses. The main interaction between the Ara h 2 and PA2 was hydrogen bonding. PA2 statically quenched the intrinsic fluorescence intensity and altered the conformation of the Ara h 2, leading to a more disordered polypeptide structure with a lower surface hydrophobicity. In addition, the in vitro allergenicity of the Ara h 2-PA2 complex was investigated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. The immunoglobulin E (IgE) binding capacity of Ara h 2, as well as the release of allergenic cytokines, decreased after interacting with PA2. When the ratio of Ara h 2-to-PA2 was 1:50, the IgE binding capacity was reduced by around 43 %. This study provides valuable insights into the non-covalent interactions between Ara h 2 and PA2, as well as the potential mechanism of action of the anti-allergic reaction caused by binding of the polyphenols to the allergens.
