Effects of Capsaicin on Cellular Damage and Monolayer Permeability in Human Intestinal Caco-2 Cells

Abstract: Recent studies suggest that capsaicin (Cap), a major constituent of hot pepper, may affect the function and permeability of the intestinal mucosa in vitro. However, the relationships between the dose of Cap and the barrier and/or transporter functions on intestinal epithelial cells are unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate whether Cap initiates cellular injury and alter epithelial permeability in Caco-2 cells. Cellular toxicity, as measured using a lactate dehydrogenase release assay, was not obser… Show more

“…lial Caco-2 cells grown on permeable inserts have been shown to possess many of the morphological and functional characteristics of intestinal enterocytes and to enable intestinal permeability to be evaluated [17]. Furthermore, they have already been used as an in vitro model in studies of the absorption of natural bioactive compounds [13,[17][18][19][20]. They have also been assayed in a doublelayered system that reproduces absorption in the intestine.…”

“…Another group of compounds that have been shown to induce epithelial resistance in the Caco‐2 model system are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which were able to alleviate interleukin‐4 induced epithelial leakage 10. In contrast, capsaicin has shown to reduce TEER,11, 12 although a reduction in TEER is more difficult to interpret since the reduction might also be caused by cell damage due to toxicity 12…”
