Elevated lipopolysaccharide in the colon evokes intestinal inflammation, aggravated in immune modulator-impaired mice.
Frequency of gram-negative bacteria is markedly enhanced in inflamed gut, leading to augmented LPS in the intestine. Although LPS in the intestine is considered harmless and, rather, provides protective effects against epithelial injury, it has been suggested that LPS causes intestinal inflammation, such as necrotizing enterocolitis. Therefore, direct effects of LPS in the intestine remain to b...
متن کاملPromoting inflammatory lymphangiogenesis by vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) aggravated intestinal inflammation in mice with experimental acute colitis.
Angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis are thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). However, it is not understood if inflammatory lymphangiogenesis is a pathological consequence or a productive attempt to resolve the inflammation. This study investigated the effect of lymphangiogenesis on intestinal inflammation by overexpressing a lymphangiogenesis factor, v...
متن کاملModerate zinc restriction affects intestinal health and immune function in lipopolysaccharide-challenged mice.
Zinc (Zn) is an essential nutrient that affects immune function, especially within the digestive system, although the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. This study examined the effects of short-term moderate Zn restriction on intestinal health and immune function in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged mice through plasma cytokine profiling and histological evaluation of intestinal t...
متن کاملGlutamine decreases lipopolysaccharide-induced intestinal inflammation in infant rats.
Using a gastrostomy-fed (GF) rat infant "pup-in-a-cup" model, the effects of protein deprivation and supplemental glutamine (Gln) and glutamate (Glu) were examined to test the hypothesis that Gln decreases the proinflammatory response induced by LPS in the developing infant rat small intestine. Four groups of 6- to 7-day-old pups were fed a rat milk substitute (RMS), one providing 100% and thre...
متن کاملThe vagus nerve as a modulator of intestinal inflammation.
The cholinergic nervous system attenuates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inhibits inflammatory processes. Hence, in animal models of intestinal inflammation, such as postoperative ileus and dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis, vagus nerve stimulation ameliorates disease activity. On the other hand, in infectious models of microbial peritonitis, vagus nerve activation seemin...
