Research Abstract |
A system for assessing the anti-inflammatory effect of food factors has been developed by establishing a co-culture system with intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells(apical side) and macrophage RAW264. 7 cells(basolateral side) stimulated with lipopolysaccharide. Curcumin and luteolin as polyphenols, fucoidan and lentinan as polysaccharide shows the anti-inflammatory activity in this system. Particularly, it was demonstrated that fucoidan indicated its activity by producing hydrogen peroxide from Caco-2 cells.
