In Vitro 2'-Fucosyllactose (2'-FL; 0-12 mg/mL; 48 h) suppress cell-associated CD14 expression and to attenuate LPS (100 μg/mL) stimulated IL-8 secretion in T84 cells[1]. 2'-Fucosyllactose (2 mg/mL; 48 h; T84 and HCT8 cells) ameliorates inflammation induced by bacterial invasion. 2'-Fucosyllactose inhibits ETEC invasion and attenuated the consequent IL-8 secretion[1]. 2'-Fucosyllactose (2 mg/mL; 48 h; T84 and HCT8 cells) induces macrophage migration inhibitory factor signal pathways that suppress inflammation[1]. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: T84 cells Concentration: 0, 2, and 4 mg/mL Incubation Time: 48 hours Result: Suppressed CD14 mRNA and reduced cell-associated CD14 protein expression. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: T84 and HCT8 cellsT84 and HCT8 cells Concentration: 2 mg/mL Incubation Time: 48 hours Result: Suppressed CD14 mRNA and reduced cell-associated CD14 protein expression. Inhibited CD14 and NF-κB induction. Induced iκB and SOCS2 expression and STAT3 phosphorylation.
In Vivo 2'-Fucosyllactose (2'-FL; 100 mg (200 μL); i.g.; daily, for 4 d; C57BL/6 mice with AIEC infection) inhibits AIEC infection and inflammation in vivo[1]. Animal Model: C57BL/6 mice (8 weeks) with AIEC (uropathogenic E. coli, and adherent-invasive E. coli) infection[1] Dosage: 100 mg (200 μL) Administration: Oral gavage; daily, for 4 days Result: Had colons lengths were closer to normal. Inhibited the colonisation of the colonic mucosa by O83-positive bacteria. Decreased CD14 expression, CD14 mRNA levels, IL-6, IL-17 and TNF-α levels in colonic.
