Immunomodulatory Activities of Body Wall Fatty Acids Extracted from Halocynthia aurantium on RAW264.7 Cells

Abstract: Tunicates are known to contain biologically active materials and one species in particular, the sea peach ( Halocynthia aurantium ), has not been thoroughly studied. In this study we aimed to analyze the fatty acids profile of the H. aurantium body wall and its immunomodulatory effects on RAW264.7 macrophage-like cells. The fatty acids were classified into three categories: saturated fatty acids (SFAs), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), and polyunsaturated fatty… Show more

“…This implies that a full PLANT diet could provide more vitamin B6 and vitamin PP than the COMB and SILAGE diets. Arachidonic acid is the precursor for the synthesis of prostaglandin, thromboxane, and leukotriene derivatives and plays an important role in the cardiovascular and immune systems of animals [ 46 , 47 ]. However, the PLANT diet has a relatively low starch content, resulting from significantly decreased quantities of maltotriose.…”

“…CCP increased the expression of COXs especially COX-2 in the gene level, and thus leading to the accumulation of PGE 2 and PGD 2 ( Figure S7 ). PGE 2 plays an important role in immune response and it stimulates secretion of cytokines (such as TNF-α and IL-6) which regulates the innate immunity ( Monmai et al, 2020 ). PGE 2 can also exert an immunomodulatory effect by promoting macrophages phenotype conversion and by modulating regulatory T cells development and function ( AN et al, 2018 ).…”

“…The PCR reaction included 5 ng of cDNA template and 0.375 µM of each specific primer and was conducted as follows: predenaturation (95 °C for 10 min), 40 cycles of PCR (denaturation: 95 °C for 20 s; annealing: 60 °C for 20 s; extension: 72 °C for 30 s), and final extension (72 °C for 5 min). The sequences of IL-1β , IL-6 , COX-2 , iNOS , TNF-α , and β-actin were used as described by Monmai et al [ 25 ]; moreover, the sequences of TLR-4 (NM_021297.3; forward: 5′-CGC TCT GGC ATC ATC TTC AT-3’; reverse: 5′-GTT GCC GTT TCT TGT TCT TCC-3′) were used. The results were analyzed using CFX Maestro software, and β-actin was used as the reference gene.…”
