Summary: | The in vitro and in vivo effects of crude polysaccharide isolated from Korean persimmon vinegar (KPV-0) on the intestinal immunostimulation were examined. KPV-0 was not cytotoxic to intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells and could be transported through a Caco-2 cell monolayer in an in vitro coculture system. For and in vitro experiment, KPV-0 treatment significantly increased IgA production by Peyer’s patch (PP) cells and triggered an increase in transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and interleukin (IL)-6 levels. To investigate the in vivo effects of KPV-0 treatment, KPV-0 was administered to mice orally at different doses for 20 days. Oral administration of KPV-0-induced IgA and cytokines (IL-6, granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor, and TGF-β) production by PP cells and significantly increased the IgA levels in intestinal fluids and feces. These results suggested that the polysaccharides isolated from persimmon vinegar appear to modulate the intestinal immune system and could be beneficial to human health. |
