The objective of this study is to evaluate the suppressive effect of buckwheat-albumin hydrolysate on postprandial hyperglycemia and identify the peptide responsible to the function. Buckwheat-albumin hydrolysate was prepared by using digestive enzymes and was orally administered to rats together with soluble starch. The blood was taken from the tail vein up to 90 min after oral administration to measure blood-glucose and plasma-insulin levels. The peptide with α-amylase inhibitory activity was purified from the buckwheathydrolysate by gel-filtration chromatography, α-amylase affinity chromatography, and high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). The amino-acid sequence of the peptide was identified by a protein sequencer and was compared with that in the buckwheat-genome database. Buckwheat-albumin hydrolysate significantly suppressed the elevation of blood glucose level 15 min after starch administration. The amino-acid sequence of the peptide with α-amylase inhibitory activity was YVEPDCGNLGCCYHC in the parental protein of molecular mass 17.8 k Da and theoretical pI 4.77. The amino-acid sequence, molecular weight, and pI of the parental protein in buckwheat albumin were different from those of α-amylase inhibitor in wheat albumin. This study suggests that the novel α-amylase inhibitor identified in buckwheat albumin is a potential candidate for a functional food material to suppress postprandial blood glucose elevation.

The immune-stromal cell interactions play a key role in health and diseases. In periodontitis, the most prevalent infectious disease in humans, immune cells accumulate in the oral mucosa and promote bone destruction by inducing receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) expression in osteogenic cells such as osteoblasts and periodontal ligament cells. However, the detailed mechanism underlying immune–bone cell interactions in periodontitis is not fully understood. Here, we performed single-cell RNAsequencing analysis on mouse periodontal lesions and showed that neutrophil–osteogenic cell crosstalk is involved in periodontitis-induced bone loss. The periodontal lesions displayed marked infiltration of neutrophils, and in silico analyses suggested that the neutrophils interacted with osteogenic cells through cytokine production. Among the cytokines expressed in the periodontal neutrophils, oncostatin M (OSM) potently induced RANKL expression in the primary osteoblasts, and deletion of the OSM receptor in osteogenic cells significantly ameliorated periodontitis-induced bone loss. Epigenomic data analyses identified the OSM-regulated RANKL enhancer region in osteogenic cells, and mice lacking this enhancer showed decreased periodontal bone loss while maintaining physiological bone metabolism. These findings shed light on the role of neutrophils in bone regulation during bacterial infection, highlighting the novel mechanism underlying osteoimmune crosstalk.
