Title:
SCREENING SYSTEM FOR SUBSTANCE INHIBITING INFLAMMATORY CHANGE OF ADIPOCYTE AND SCREENING METHOD USING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/112418
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It is intended to provide a screening system for screening a substance effectively inhibiting an inflammatory change of adipocyte and a screening method using the same. The screening system is a screening system for an inhibitor that inhibits a paracrine factor or an intracellular signal related to an increase in the inflammatory change of adipocyte comprising coculture of an adipocyte and macrophage. The screening method is a screening method for an inhibitor that inhibits a paracrine factor or an intracellular signal characterized by adding a test substance to the screening system and measuring a change of gene expression level of paracrine factor or inflammatory cytokine by the test substance.
