Fig. 9. The oral administration of lentinan induces the Th1 immune responses
753
mainly in the ileum, and then exerts the suppressive effects on a colitis
754
In this study, it was ascertained that oral administration of lentinan enhanced Th1-type
755
immune responses mainly at ileum and then accelerate the migration of CD4+ cells in
756
lymphocyte from ileum into the colon in which colitis was induced by DSS treatment.
757
These findings suggested that alternation of the immunological environment in the
758
small intestine affects the colon, resulting in suppressive effects on colitis. The present
759
results indicate the possibility that colitis might be controlled from the small intestine by
760
food intake, such as lentinan.
