new-bornswineintestinalepithelialcelllinethatwasderivedfromthe
smallintestineofanewbornunsuckledpiglet.Thecelllineswere
maintainedbyserialpassagesaspreviouslydescribed(Bouhetet
al.,2004).PurifiedDON(Sigma,StQuentinFallavier,France)was
dissolved in DMSOand stored at −20◦C beforedilution in cell
culture media.Inositol hexaphosphate(phytic acidsodium salt
hydratepurchasedfromSigma–AldrichCo.)wasdissolvedin
ster-ilizedwater(0.4g/mL)andstoredat−20◦Cbeforedilutionincell
culturemedia.
2.2. MTSbioassay
The effects of phytic acid on the viability of IPEC-1 cells
were studied in a colorimetric assay using the CellTiter 96®
Aqueous Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay Kit (Promega
Charbonnières, France). IPEC-1 cells were seeded at a
con-centration of 5×103cells/well in 100L of adequate medium
in flat-bottomed 96-well plates (Polylabo-Nunc). After
cul-turing for 24h, various concentrations of phytic acid (0;

NaOH to 7.0 and sterilized by passing through a 0.22-m
membrane filter. Subsequently, the solutions were added to
the cells. After 48h, 20L of a freshly prepared MTS/PMS
[3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium/phenazine methosulfate] solution
was added to the wells, and the cells were further incubated
for2–4h. Theamountofsolubleformazanproduced bycellular
reductionoftheMTSwasmeasuredbytheabsorbanceat492nm

4. Discussion
Animportantfunctionofgastrointestinalepitheliais to
pro-videabarrieragainstthepenetrationoffoodcontaminantsand
pathogenspresent intheintestinal lumen(Arrietaet al.,1996;
Oswald,2006).Severalcomponentspresentinplantsarecapableof
interferingwithbothbacterialecologyandtheimmuneresponse
oftheguttofoodantigens.Beneficialnonnutrients,suchas
antioxi-dants,occurinfoodsofplantorigin(Weglarzetal.,2007).Thus,the
intakeoffoodshighinphyticacidmayindirectlyinfluencehealth.
Inthepresentstudy,phyticaciddecreasedtheviabilityofthe
IPEC-1celllineinadose-dependentmanner.Asignificantdecreaseincell
viabilitywasnoticedataconcentrationof5mMphyticacid.This
resultagreeswithWeglarzetal.(2007),whoevaluatedtheeffect
ofphyticacidonthegrowthofCaco-2cells.
Inordertoevaluatetheeffectofanon-cytotoxicdoseofphytic
acidonDONexposedcells,weusedaconcentrationof25MDON.
WefoundthatDONdecreasedtheTEERvalues,whichisagood
indicatoroftheepitheliumintegrity.Similarresultwasobserved
byPintonetal.(2009)whousedvariousconcentrationsofDON
rangingbetween5.0and50Minapolarizedintestinalepithelial

itsantioxidanteffectanditsabilitytoaltercellsignalingpathways
orantioxidantenzymesthatdetoxifythereactiveoxygenspecies

membranesagainstlipidperoxidation(Miyamotoetal.,2000).
Inthepresentstudy,phyticacidataconcentrationof0.5mMor

administrationofproductsrichinphyticacidinfoodorfeed,such
asco-productsderivedfrommaizeandrice,mayactendogenously,
protectingcellularsystemsagainsttheeffectscausedbysubstances
thatinducecellulardamages,suchasmycotoxins,reducingthe

andhealthproblemswilldecreaseconsiderably.However,further
studiesareneededtoconfirmtheeffectsofcellularoxidativestress

Inconclusion,ourresultsindicatethatphyticacidaffectscell
