| Research Abstract |
Intestinal epithelium grant active barrier, which, as with its natural status, maintains regulated uptake of nutrients and fluids, and then are simultaneously excluding potential pathogens. Enteral diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) cause disconcerted epithelial function. Although IBD seems to be born in idiopathic and multi-step causatives, it is clear that the pathophysiology of the IBD is due to discomfited or exaggerated immunological reactions. Few studies have demonstrated the role of nutrients on mucosal immune function. This booklet is devoted as report of the Japanese National Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research(C) "KAKENHI" #17590629: "Crosstalk and the regulation of intestinal immune cells : mucosal dendritic cells and intraepithelial lymphocytes" through 2005-2006 fiscal year. In this brief synopsis I will illustrate the core of the study and review the current status of this area's advancement, along with our recent publications. What is conceivably most marked is the fact that we have only begun to recognize the role of nutritional immune regulation and histaminergic immune regulatory mechanisms in the intestine. The experience may lead to further advancement in this research fields.
