Abstract

Lactoferrin possesses antibiotic, antiinflammatory, and immune-modulating properties that may be active against the gastritis-, ulcer- and cancer-inducing bacterium Helicobacter pylori. In vitro testing of bovine and human lactoferrin by several laboratories has shown significant bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity. Subsequent in vivo testing of bovine lactoferrin in animal models of H. pylori infection has shown beneficial effects of this agent. Our laboratory has utilized a mouse model that is infected with the feline strain of this bacterium, H. felis. The resulting gastritis that develops in this model and the effects of bovine lactoferrin and recombinant human lactoferrin (from Aspergillus niger var. awamori, Agennix Inc., Houston, Tex.) treatment were assessed by various measures. Infected animals treated with orally administered lactoferrin showed reversals in all parameters. In addition, when recombinant human lactoferrin was used in combination with low doses of amoxicillin or tetracycline, there was an enhancement in gastritis-reducing activity. Possible mechanisms for these effects of lactoferrin are discussed. Lactoferrin has significant, orally active in vivo actions and should be further investigated for clin...Continue Reading
