is used as a functional food ingredient. Little is known about the association between its immunomodulatory activity and its metabolites. We applied a precise strategy for screening metabolites using immunomodulatory fractions from a root methanolic extract (UCME) in combination with bioactivity-guided fractionation and NMR-based identification. The fractions from UCME were evaluated in terms of their inhibitory activity against the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-) by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC). The role of the isoflavone genistein was indicated by the H NMR profiling of immunomodulatory subfractions (D-4 and D-5) and supported by the result that genistein-knockout subfractions (D-4 / and D-5 /) had a lower inhibitory activity compared to genistein-containing subfractions. This study suggests that genistein contributes to the immunomodulatory activity of UCME and will help in the standardization of functional food.
它被用作功能性食品成分。关于其免疫调节活性与其代谢产物之间的关联,人们所知甚少。我们采用了一种精确的策略,利用来自根部甲醇提取物(UCME)的免疫调节级分,结合生物活性导向分级分离和基于核磁共振的鉴定方法来筛选代谢产物。对UCME的级分进行了评估,考察它们对脂多糖(LPS)刺激的小鼠骨髓来源树突状细胞(BMDC)产生促炎细胞因子(IL-6和TNF-)的抑制活性。免疫调节亚级分(D-4和D-5)的氢核磁共振谱图表明了异黄酮染料木黄酮的作用,并且染料木黄酮基因敲除亚级分(D-4 /和D-5 /)与含染料木黄酮的亚级分相比具有较低的抑制活性,这一结果也支持了上述作用。本研究表明,染料木黄酮有助于UCME的免疫调节活性,并且将有助于功能性食品的标准化。
