Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effect of deep-sea water (DSW)-derived mineral waters on intestinal health, using a cell model and a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced enteritis mouse model. DSW was desalted and minerals were added to generate mineral waters that were classified as trace mineral (TM), high magnesium (HM), high magnesium low salt (HMLS), and high magnesium high calcium (HMHC), using a tabletop electrodialysis device. Caco-2 cells cocultured with Raw264.7 cells were either pre-treated or not with the four water groups, and inflammation was induced by treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Compared to LPS-treated Caco-2 cells, HMLS-cotreated cells maintained high transepithelial electrical resistance, similar to control cells. FITC-dextran permeability was lower in HMLS-treated than in other cells. In vivo, in comparison to DSS-treated mice, colon shortening was inhibited, and disease activity and colon injury were suppressed in HMLS-cotreated mice. RNA-seq of colonic tissues revealed that inflammatory gene expression was similar among the control and HMLS mice, and DSS-induced expression of inflammation-related genes such as TNF-α and NOS2 and inflammatory chemokine genes was suppressed. Our findings suggest that DSW-derived mineral water intake can help reduce colitis symptoms, and the effects may be partially regulated by magnesium and other minerals.
