View SamplesCommensal bacteria shape the gut immune system. Colonization bacteria increase the frequency of regulatory T cells, however, the molecular mechanisms are not yet known. To reveal the mechanism, we isolated nave CD4+ T cells from the spleen of C57BL/6 mice and cultured the cells under Treg-inducing condition culture in the presence or absence of butyrate, a metabolite produced by commensal bacteria.

View SamplesThe effects of freeze-dried tofu, a traditional Japanese soy food, were compared with those of major active soy components, protein and isoflavone, by observing physiological differences and global transcriptomes in the liver of male rats.
Tofu (soybean curd) lowers serum lipid levels and modulates hepatic gene expression involved in lipogenesis primarily through its protein, not isoflavone, component in rats.

View SamplesSoybean and fish contains various active components that were reported to prevent cardiovasucular diseases. Epidemiological studies indicated that Asian eating patterns, consisting of daily seafood and/or soy consumption, confer protection against cardiovascular diseases. In this context, we expected that simultaneous intake of soybean and fish may be greatly beneficial in a manner different from the ingestion of the individual food. To understand the detailed mechanism for modulating the lipid metabolism by co-ingestion of a soy food (tofu) and fish oil, we investigated the global changes in hepatic mRNA expression in rats by using a microarray analysis. Generally, ingestion of tofu contributed to prevent the mRNA expressions involved in hepatic lipogenesis, whereas fish oil facilitated the mRNA expressions related to the degradation of hepatic fatty acids. In terms of mRNA expression, the interaction of two dietary factors was limited. The expression data was normalized and summarized by using SuperNORM data service (Skylight Biotech Inc.). Significance of expressional change among groups was tested by 2-way ANOVA on the normalized CEL data, which was deposited in a tab-separated ASCII text format. Principal components were identified on the summarized gene data.

View SamplesSoyfoods have been drawn the interrest in the roles that reducing risk of cardiovascular disease. Among various components, isoflavones have been come to the attention as beneficial soy ingredients. To evaluate the effectiveness of isoflavone content in dietary soybean (Glycine max) on modulating lipid metabolism, hepatic gene expressions involved in lipid metabolism were analyzed in rats. An isoflavone-rich cultivar (Yukipirika) and a conventional cultivar (Fukuyutaka) were employed. A principal component analysis (PCA) of microarray data was used to summarize characteristics of the experimental groups. As a result, the characteristics of the diets were largely explained by the first principal component (PC1). Soybean content in the diets distinctly separated in PC1. In contrast, isoflavone content had little effect on the mRNA expression.
