Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) overlying the villi play a prominent role in absorption of digested nutrients and establish a barrier that separates the internal milieu from potentially harmful microbial antigens. Several mechanisms by which antigens of dietary and microbial origin enter the body have been identified; however whether IECs play a role in antigen uptake is not known. Using in vivo imaging of the mouse small intestine, we investigated whether epithelial cells (enterocytes) play an active role in the uptake (sampling) of lumen antigens. We found that small molecular weight antigens such as chicken ovalbumin, dextran, and bacterial LPS enter the lamina propria, the loose connective tissue which lies beneath the epithelium via goblet cell associated passageways. However, epithelial cells overlying the villi can internalize particulate antigens such as bacterial cell debris and inert nanoparticles (NPs), which are then found co-localizing with the CD11c+ dendritic cells in the lamina propria. The extent of NP uptake by IECs depends on their size: 20–40 nm NPs are taken up readily, while NPs larger than 100 nm are taken up mainly by the epithelial cells overlying Peyer''s patches. Blocking NPs with small proteins or conjugating them with ovalbumin does not inhibit their uptake. However, the uptake of 40 nm NPs can be inhibited when they are administered with an endocytosis inhibitor (chlorpromazine). Delineating the mechanisms of antigen uptake in the gut is essential for understanding how tolerance and immunity to lumen antigens are generated, and for the development of mucosal vaccines and therapies. 相似文献

One of the challenges of using imaging techniques as a tool to study cellular physiology has been the inability to resolve structures that are not located near the surface of the preparation. Nonlinear optical microscopy, in particular two photon-excited fluorescence microscopy (2PM), has overcome this limitation, providing deeper optical penetration (several hundred µm) in ex vivo and in vivo preparations. We have used this approach in the gut to achieve the first in vivo imaging of enteric neurons and nerve fibers in the mucosa, submucosa, submucosal and myenteric plexuses, and circular and longitudinal muscles of the small intestine in H-line: Thy1 promoter GFP mice. Moreover, we obtained clear three-dimensional imaging of enteric neurons that were newly generated after gut transection and reanastomosis. Neurogenesis was promoted by oral application of the 5-HT4-receptor agonist, mosapride citrate (MOS). The number of newly generated neurons observed in mice treated with MOS for one week was 421±89 per 864,900 µm2 (n = 5), which was significantly greater than that observed in preparations treated with MOS plus an antagonist (113±76 per 864,900 µm2) or in 4 week vehicle controls (100±34 per 864,900 µm2) (n = 4 both). Most neurons were located within 100 µm of the surface. These results confirm that activation of enteric neural 5-HT4-receptor by MOS promotes formation of new enteric neurons. We conclude that in vivo 2PM imaging made it possible to perform high-resolution deep imaging of the living mouse whole gut and reveal formation of new enteric neurons promoted by 5-HT4-receptor activation. 相似文献

Intestinal microbiota controls multiple aspects of body homeostasis. The microbiota composition changes easily in response to internal or external factors, which may result in dysbiosis and associated inflammatory reactions. Thus, maintaining the microbiota composition by the host immune system is crucial, and one of the main mechanisms for microbiota control is production of immunoglobulin A (IgA) at mucosal surfaces. The molecular mechanisms regulating the interactions between the immune system and microbiota remain obscure. A panel of hybridoma cell lines was constructed to produce monoclonal IgA antibodies specific to various commensal bacteria present in intestinal microbiota. The panel can be used to further understand the mechanisms whereby the adaptive immune system controls the microbiota composition. 相似文献

Absorption of methionine and its sulfoxide was investigated in vitro with everted sacs and in situ with circulated loops of rat small intestine. Transmural transport and tissue accumulation of methionine sulfoxide in the everted sacs were in fair agreement with those of methionine. Apparent kinetic parameters for the difference of transmural transport in the absence and presence of 10?5 m carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, i.e. for the energy-dependent active transport, were similar for both methionine and its sulfoxide. Methionine was found at a low level in the serosal fluid of the everted sac on incubation with methionine sulfoxide. It was attributed to the methionine leaked out from the tissue but not to that formed by reduction of methionine sulfoxide during the course of intestinal transport. Similar transport was also observed in situ in circulated intestinal loops for methionine and its sulfoxide. The absorption efficiency of methionine sulfoxide in the small intestine is not the reason for the decreased nutritional availability of the most likely oxidation product of methionine. 相似文献

The OP9/OP9-DL1 co-culture system has become a well-established method for deriving differentiated blood cell types from embryonic and hematopoietic progenitors of both mouse and human origin. It is now used to address a growing variety of complex genetic, cellular and molecular questions related to hematopoiesis, and is at the cutting edge of efforts to translate these basic findings to therapeutic applications. The procedures are straightforward and routinely yield robust results. However, achieving successful hematopoietic differentiation in vitro requires special attention to the details of reagent and cell culture maintenance. Furthermore, the protocol features technique sensitive steps that, while not difficult, take care and practice to master. Here we focus on the procedures for differentiation of T lymphocytes from mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC). We provide a detailed protocol with discussions of the critical steps and parameters that enable reproducibly robust cellular differentiation in vitro. It is in the interest of the field to consider wider adoption of this technology, as it has the potential to reduce animal use, lower the cost and shorten the timelines of both basic and translational experimentation. 相似文献

Abstract. Various counts have been made of the number of mitotic figures in whole crypts and sections of crypts of the small intestine of the mouse. Samples were analysed from animals killed at different times of the day and at different times after administration of vincristine. Measurements have been made of the size of mitotic and interphase nuclei and of the radial position of mitotic figures. the correction factor, f, which is required to take into account the enhancement of mitotic counts in sections as a consequence of their centripetal position has been investigated. the results indicate the following: (1) transverse sections of the crypt differ from longitudinal sections if they involve cutting the intestime before fixation which may result in a relaxation of the crypt and its widening by 25%; (2) columnar cell nuclei have a shape that resembles a sphere flattened so that the average diameter is 20% greater in crypt transverse sections; (3) mitotic nuclei tend to be about half-way between the crypt edge and the central axis of the crypt; (4) between about four and seven times more mitotic figures have their mitotic axis parallel to the long axis of the crypt; (5) about one-third of all mitotic figures in a crypt are seen in a longitudinal section of the crypt. If this is related to the number of cells in the crypt as a whole and in a section, a correction factor fd for the mitotic index of 0.59 is obtained; (6) the correction factor fT derived from the shape and position of the mitotic figures measured in 3 μm longitudinal sections is 0.53; (7) relating cell cycle and mitotic accumulation data using a computer-based model of the crypt also permits a correction factor fmod to be estimated. This gives a value of 0.66. When sectioned material is used to calculate a mitotic index the most appropriate correction factor is fD ; for mouse small intestine it is 0.59. 相似文献

Somatic cell hybrids were derived by fusing tumourigenic and melanogenic melanoma (PAZG) cells with normal diploid male mouse cells in vivo. Their chromosomal composition was equivalent to the sum of both parental genomes and included a Y chromosome lacking in the melanoma parent. Our study showed that in PAZG x C57BL hybrids (MP), tumourigenicity was suppressed but pigmentation was expressed. 相似文献

R-1 Rhabdomyosarcomas Transplantable In The Inbred Strain Of Wag/Rij Rats Were Labelled Semicontinuously With 3H-Tdr And Subsequently Irradiated With X-Rays In Order To Estimate The Rate Of Recruitment Of Q Into P Cells And To Obtain More Insight Into The Importance Of Hypoxia With Respect To The P And Q Status Of Clonogenic Cells. Labelling Was Performed By Giving Animals From One To A Total Number Of Up To Seven Intraperitoneal Injections With 3H-Tdr Within 30 Hr. Half Of The Number Of Tumours Received An Acute Dose Of 800 Rad Of 300 Kv X-Rays At 45 Min After Completion Of The Last Labelling In Order To Reduce The Fraction Of Well Oxygenated Cells Among The Surviving Clonogenic Cells To Less Than 1%; Labelled Control Tumours Were Sham Irradiated. Fractions Of Labelled Tumour Cells, LiTumour’Were Evaluated From Autoradiographs Prepared From Sections Of Tumours That Were Fixed 15 Min After Irradiation: Fractions Of Labelled Cell Foci, LiFo, Were Determined In Autoradiographs Prepared From Cultures Of Cells Isolated From The Remaining Parts Of The Tumours. Analysis Of The Variation In LiTumour As A Function Of Time And Of The Number Of Injections Showed That The Rate Of Recruitment Of Q Cells Into P Cells Is Most Likely Less Than 1%/Hr. Comparison Of Data On LiFo Derived For Irradiated And Non-Irradiated Tumours Indicates That Clonogenic Q Cells Are More Frequently Present Among Cells Which Survived The Dose Of 800 Rad Of X-Rays. These Results Suggest That, In R-1 Tumours Of About 800 Mm3 The Clonogenic Q Cell Population Contains A Larger Fraction Of Hypoxic Cells Than The Fraction Of Hypoxic Cells Present In The Clonogenic P Cell Population. Several factors are discussed which complicate the analysis and may influence the results, e.g. reutilization of labelled debris of dead cells from irradiated tumours. 相似文献

The proportion of clonogenic cells from the Lewis lung carcinoma which are in S-phase of the cell cycle has been measured as the fraction killed by a short exposure to hydroxyurea in vitro. Estimates of the proportions of Sphase cells before and 30 min after doses of γ-radiation of 1000–2000 rad suggest no alternation in the cell cycle age distribution due to these doses of radiation. As the survivors of these high doses of radiation are predominantly hypoxic, the results imply that hypoxic cells have the same cell cycle age distribution as oxygenated cells in Lewis lung tumours. After treatment with cyclophosphamide or CCNU, the proportion of S-phase cells among the survivors exceeds the faction of S-phase cells in untreated populations. This increase is consistent with a relative resistance of S-phase cells to alkylating agents and nitrosoureas. 相似文献
