Abstract
In this in vitro study, for the first time was evaluated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect of an Oleuropein-enriched extract (OleE) on bovine mammary epithelial cell line (BME-UV1). OleE was obtained from olives leaves and characterized by HPLC and NMR analysis. Cell viability test indicated that OleE at concentrations of 7.8 up to 250 μg/mL did not exert cytotoxic effect. At concentration of 31.2 up to 250 μg/mL, a dose dependent reduction of ROS production induced by hydrogen peroxide was observed. In addition, OleE at 62.5, 125 and 250 μg/mL showed a dose-dependent reduction in gene expression of TNF, IL1B, and IL10 after exposure to LPS. The downregulation of ROS production and cytokines expression in BME-UV1 by OleE confirmed the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In vivo experiments will be necessary for future applications of OleE as natural feed supplement in dairy cattle to reduce incidence of oxidative stress in peripartal period.
