Objective: To establish Caco2 cell line with stable expression of glucagon like peptide-2 receptor( GLP-2R) , in order to establish an in vitro model for the study of protective mechanism of GLP-2 of the intestinal tract.
Methods: The GLP-2R/pcDNA3. 1 ( + ) plasmid was verified by restriction endonuclease and sequencing , and then it was transfected into Caco2 cells with lipofectamine. After G418 selection, the clones with stable expression of GLP-2R were obtained by limited dilution cloning and expanding. The mRNA and protein expression of GLP-2R in normal human intestine, Caco2 cells, HER293, VE cells, as well as in transfected Caco2 cells were determined with RT-PCR and Western blot.
Results: The sequence of GLP-2R/pcDNA 3. 1 plasmid was correct. No expression of GLP-2R mRNA and protein was found in HER293 and VE cells, but weak expression were found in Caco2 cells, and strong expression was found in normal human intestines. The expression of GLP-2R mRNA and protein expression in Caco2/GLP-2R ( + ) cells were obviously increased after transfection.
Conclusion: GLP-2R has special distribution. The expression of GLP-2R is weak in normal Caco2 cells. The establishment of Caco2/GLP-2R ( + ) cellular model is beneficial for the further research of the mechanism of action of GLP-2.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a significant public health concern, emphasizing the need for innovative therapeutic strategies to improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to develop a highly efficient nanocarrier for targeted drug delivery, enhancing drug efficacy while minimizing concentrations and limiting adverse effects. We synthesized protein-based β-lactoglobulin (βlg) nanoparticles (NPs), loaded with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and sodium butyrate (NaB), and further functionalized with folic acid (FA) for specific targeting of folate receptor-positive CRC cells.

Introduction: This study investigated the tryptic hydrolysis of β-lactoglobulin (BLG) for 30, 60, 90, and 120 min at 1/200 E/S (enzyme/substrate ratio, w/w) to prepare potentially anticarcinogenic peptides.
Methods: The properties of hydrolysates were characterized, including degree of hydrolysis, free amino acids, SDS-PAGE, FTIR, and antioxidant activity employing DPPH-assay, β-carotene/linoleic acid, and FRAP assay.
Results: BLG tryptic hydrolysate produced after 60 min hydrolysis recorded the highest antioxidant activity, and LCMS analysis revealed 162 peptides of molecular masses ranging from 800 to 5671Da, most of them are of hydrophobic nature.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate EpiColon, a novel human organotypic 3D colon microtissue prototype, developed to assess colonic drug disposition, with a particular focus on permeability ranking, and compare its performance to Caco-2 monolayers. EpiColon was characterized for barrier function using transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER), morphology via histology and immunohistochemistry, and functionality through drug transport studies measuring apparent permeability (P). Cutoff thresholds for the permeability of FITC-dextran 4 kDa (FD4), FITC-dextran 10 kDa (FD10S), and [C]mannitol were established to monitor microtissue integrity.
