Housefly (Musca domestica) is an important medical insect and its larva is an ideal high protein food source. We isolated from housefly larvae the polypeptides hydrolyzed by neutral protease (PHNP), and investigated the protective effect of PHNP on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative damage in HepG2 cells. Cells exposed to H2O2 showed a marked decrease in proliferation and intracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and a significant increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and malondialdehyde (MDA) content. H2O2 also caused apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction including mitochondrial fragmentation and the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. Pretreatment with PHNP at concentrations of 2.5, 5, 10 µg/mL blocked these H2O2-induced cellular events in a dose-dependent manner. The effect of PHNP at 10 µg/mL is equal to that of ascorbic acid at 10 µM. In summary, PHNP has a protective effect against H2O2-induced oxidative injury in cells due to its ability to decrease intracellular ROS and elevate antioxidant enzyme activities.
