The possibility of using recombinant human lactoferrin from rice (rhLF) makes it necessary to study its differences from the protein of milk. In this work, the binding of different iron-saturated forms of rhLF to Caco-2 cells was studied. Iron-saturated rhLF bound in higher proportion than the apo-form, but, the data obtained for specific binding were not compatible with receptor-mediated binding. Competition assays showed the same binding capacity for human milk lactoferrin as for rhLF to Caco… 
Cellular Uptake and Release of Intact Lactoferrin and Its Derivatives in an Intestinal Enterocyte Model of Caco-2 Cells.
TLDR
It is proposed that the uptake and release of intact LF by Caco-2 cells should be assessed as a potential in vitro model of in vivo LF absorption in human intestines.
Involvement of polyamines in iron(III) transport in human intestinal Caco-2 cell lines
TLDR
Iron co-transport in enterocytes, which involved an interaction between iron and polyamine then cell uptake of the polyamine–iron complexes by the polyamines transport system, was more pronounced in proliferating than in differentiated Caco-2 cells, and was observed at physiological concentrations of both polyamines and iron.

Lactoferrin’s Anti-Cancer Properties: Safety, Selectivity, and Wide Range of Action
TLDR
Lf shows high bioavailability after oral administration, high selectivity toward cancer cells, and a wide range of molecular targets controlling tumor proliferation, survival, migration, invasion, and metastasization, and was recently found to be an ideal carrier for chemotherapeutics, even for the treatment of brain tumors.
Lactoferrin in the Prevention and Treatment of Intestinal Inflammatory Pathologies Associated with Colorectal Cancer Development
TLDR
This review outlines the most recent studies on lactoferrin as a potential candidate in the prevention and treatment of intestinal inflammatory pathologies that are associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer.

Recombinant human lactoferrin and iron transport across Caco-2 monolayers: effect of heat treatment on the binding to cells.
TLDR
Recombinant human lactoferrin subjected to heat treatment did not lose the ability to bind to cell membranes except at high temperature and long time treatments (85 and 89 degrees C for 40 min) for which there was a slight decrease in the binding.
Binding of lactoferrin and transferrin to the human promonocytic cell line U937. Effect on iron uptake and release.
TLDR
It is concluded that transferrin, but not lactoferrin, acts as an iron donor to U937 cells and may regulate uptake of potentially toxic non-transferrin-bound iron.
Biological role of lactoferrin.
TLDR
This review will attempt to reassess the function of lactoferrin in the light of the large amount of new information that has accrued since then.
The binding of human lactoferrin to mouse peritoneal cells
TLDR
The existence of a Lf receptor capable of concentrating Lf released from neutrophils on the membrane of macrophages could explain the apparent blockade of the release of iron from the reticuloendothelial system, which accounts for the hyposideremia of inflammation.
Molecular cloning and functional expression of a human intestinal lactoferrin receptor.
TLDR
The cloning and the functional expression of the human intestinal LfR and the evidence of its involvement in iron metabolism are reported and demonstrate the presence of a unique receptor-mediated mechanism for nutrient uptake by the newborn.
The N1 domain of human lactoferrin is required for internalization by caco-2 cells and targeting to the nucleus.
TLDR
Results indicate that the N1.1 subdomain of hLf is sufficient for binding, internalization, and targeting to the nucleus of Caco-2 cells.
Expression, Characterization, and Biologic Activity of Recombinant Human Lactoferrin in Rice
TLDR
Recombinant human lactoferrin has stability similar to native human lact oferrin when exposed to thermal treatment, pH treatment, and in vitro digestion, suggesting it may be active when added to infant formula.
