1 Polyphenols Several hydroxyl groups on aromatic rings Secondary metabolites (> 10,000) of plants Several classes: phenolic acids, stilbenes, lignans, flavonoids (Largely) present in our food Plant defence Leaves Stems Fruits Interaction with microorganisms Seeds Roots Flowers Color (fruits, flowers)

2 Effects on human health Cardiovascular diseases Cancers Osteoporosis Polyphenol properties: antioxidant anticarcinogenic vasodilatator antiviral antibacterial anti-inflammatory Inflammatory diseases Neurodegenerative diseases

4 S P Intestinal barrier: physiology Different cell types Crypt cells Neuroendocrine cells Goblet cells Enterocytes M cells Different functions Secretion: fluid, electrolytes Immunity Secretion: hormones, Final digestion and absorption of nutrients Special functions Uptake of particles Excretion Presystemic biotransformations

5 Intestinal barrier: pathological risks? Intestinal inflammation "Physiological" inflammation Chronic inflammation: Crohn disease, Increased risk of colon cancer Presystemic biotransformations/ transport Cytochrome P450: : phase I Conjugations: phase II Efflux pumps: : phase III Increased risk of colon cancer

6 Tools to investigate the intestinal function Monolayer Microporous filter Tight junctions Enterocyte Enzymes Upper compartment: apical pole lumen Lower compartment: basolateral pole blood Microvillosities In vivo approach Ex vivo approach Cell culture systems: in vitro model of the human intestinal barrier Caco-2 cell line: human colon adenocarcinoma, differentiates into enterocytes Microporous filter bicameral insert Transporters

Lett., , , 2003

8 Effect of polyphenols on OTA transport Caco-2 cells with [ 3 H] OTA: excretion increased by inhibition of MRP2 Polyphenols at realistic food concentrations increase OTA absorption Competition between OTA and polyphenols conjugates? Sergent et al., Toxicol. Lett., 159, 60-70, 2005
