BACKGROUND
Carrageenan is a traditional ingredient that has been widely used in the food industry. In the present study, we propose a hypothesis that carrageenan is a conditional inflammatory agent. When the intestinal tract is in an "unhealthy" state such as that during bacterial infection or acute
This study investigated the function of κ-carrageenan polysaccharide in immune regulation. The immune response of RAW 264.7 cells treated with κ-carrageenan polysaccharide was explored by MTT assay, general morphological observation, neutral red phagocytosis assay, Griess method, fluorescence
The modulation of carrageenan oligosaccharides from Kappaphycus striatum on the immune system in S180-bearing mice was investigated. The mice inoculated with S180 cell suspension were treated p.o. with carrageenan oligosaccharides (50, 100 and 200 microg/g) for 14 days. The effects of carrageenan
GMP-140 is a 140-kDa granule membrane glycoprotein localized to the alpha-granules of platelets and the Weibel-Palade bodies of endothelial cells. Expression of GMP-140 on the activated cell surface has been shown to mediate the adhesion of thrombin-activated platelets to neutrophils and monocytes
The immunotropic activity of polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) of κ-carrageenan (κ-CGN) and chitosan (CH) of various compositions was assessed in comparison with the initial polysaccharides in comparable doses. For this, two soluble forms of PEC, with an excess of CH (CH:CGN mass ratios of 10:1) and
The LOX-1 receptor, identified on endothelial cells, mediates the uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL). The oxLDL-dependent LOX-1 activation causes endothelial cell apoptosis. We here investigated the presence of LOX-1 in granulosa cells from patients under in vitro fertilization
