Effect of yak milk casein hydrolysate on TH1/TH2 cytokines production by murine spleen lymphocytes in vitro.

چکیده
Yak casein hydrolysate was derived from the enzymatic alcalase-hydrolysate of a typical northwestern China milk product called Qula. An in vitro study was conducted to examine their immunoregulatory effects on murine T cells, including Con-A-induced lymphoproliferation and splenocyte cell cycle, production, and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of interleukin-2 (IL-2), interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), and interleukin-4 (IL-4). The results showed that yak casein hydrolysate had lymphoproliferation activity on murine splenocytes and induced their cell cycle from the G1 to the S phase. It could increase Con-A-induced IL-2 and IFN-gamma production in spleen cells, but a very weak or no effect was observed in the absence of Con-A. The present study also showed that it could markedly increase the production and mRNA expression of IFN-gamma and IL-2, which are key cytokines for T helper 1 cell (Th1) cell development, in a dose-dependent manner. However, their effects on IL-4 secretion were not obvious, and the enhancement was much lower than that of IFN-gamma and IL-2. All of these demonstrated that yak casein hydrolysate could increase type 1 cytokine production, thereby shifting the Th1/T helper 2 cell (Th2) balance toward a Th1-dominant phenotype, which meant that yak casein hydrolysate could indeed not only modulate the differentiation of helper T cell but also has the capacity to modulate the Th1/Th2 balance. Therefore, yak casein hydrolysate may be useful for the treatment of cell-mediated immune diseases.

A purification procedure of pertussis toxin (PT) from submerged culture of Bordetella pertussis (B.pertussis) strain 134 using adsorption and affinity chromatography was discussed. The yield of the resulting PT was approximately 37.5mg/l of concentrated culture supernatant. The polypeptide pattern of the purified PT was investigated by SDS-PAGE and showed five bands between 11 to 26 KDa using l...

Lymphocyte is one of the subtypes of white blood cell (WBC) in immune system. Lymphocytes contain T cells, natural killer cells , and B cells. They are the head type of cell found in lymph, which for this reason the name "lymphocyte". Lymphocytes can be recognized by their large nucleus. Infiltration of immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS) helps the start of chronic pain. ...

Background: Th1 cells preferentially express CXCR3, CCR5 and CCR6, while CCR3 and CCR4 are predominantly expressed by Th2 cell subsets. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a Th1 cell-dependant chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, and immunomudolatory cytokines could alter the chemokine expression pattern of these lymphocyte subsets. Objective: This study was performed to measure c...
