It has been reported that lentinan, β-1,3; 1,6-glucan derived from Lentinula edodes, suppresses intestinal inflammation and ameliorates symptoms of colitis. However, the mechanism of intestinal anti-inflammatory activity of lentinan and how it is recognized by intestinal epithelial cells remains largely unclear. The receptor for lentinan on intestinal epithelial cells was identified using an in vitro gut inflammation model consisting of Caco-2 and RAW264.7 cells. Colitis was induced in 7 to 8 week-old wild-type (WT) or knockout (KO) mice by the free intake of water containing 2% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) for 7 days. Lentinan was administered daily via intragastric administration. Tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1)-GFP complex was constructed to monitor its movement in Caco-2 cells using confocal and total internal fluorescence microscopy. The results in.. View More»
