Inhibitory Effects of Polyphenols-Rich Components From Three Edible Seaweeds on Inflammation and Colon Cancer in vitro.

ABSTRACT: Polyphenols from edible seaweeds display various health benefits which have not been adequately studied. This study aimed to characterize the composition of extractable polyphenol-rich components (EPCs) and non-extractable polyphenol-rich components (NEPCs) from three edible seaweeds (i.e., Laminaria japonica, Ulva lactuca, and Porphyra tenera) and evaluate their anti-inflammatory capacities in activated macrophages and anticancer properties in colon cancer cells. Both EPCs and NEPCs from three edible seaweeds against lipopolysaccharides (LPS) stimulated nitric oxide in activated macrophages. Immunoblotting and qRT-PCR indicated that EPCs and NEPCs regulated the expression levels of proinflammatory enzymes, proinflammatory cytokines, and antioxidant enzymes in macrophages. Fu
