Project description:Background and Aims: We have shown in several controlled rat and human infection studies that dietary calcium improves intestinal resistance and strengthens the mucosal barrier. Reinforcement of gut barrier function is also relevant for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Therefore, we investigated the effect of supplemental calcium on spontaneous colitis development in HLA-B27 transgenic rats, an experimental animal model of IBD. Methods: HLA-B27 transgenic rats were fed a purified high-fat diet containing either a low or high calcium content (30 and 120 mmol CaHPO4/kg diet, respectively) for almost 7 weeks. Inert chromium ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid (CrEDTA) was added to the diets to quantify intestinal permeability by measuring urinary CrEDTA excretion. Relative fecal dry-weight was determined to quantify diarrhea. Colonic inflammation was determined histologically, and by measuring mucosal interleukin-1M-NM-2. In addition, colonic mucosal gene expression of individual rats was analyzed, using whole genome microarrays. Interesting results were verified by Q-PCR. Results: The high-calcium diet significantly prevented the increase in intestinal permeability and diarrhea with time in HLA-B27 rats developing colitis as compared to the low-calcium group. The histological colitis score and mucosal interleukin-1M-NM-2 levels were lower in high-calcium fed rats. Supplemental calcium prevented the colitis-induced increase in the expression of extracellular matrix remodeling genes (e.g. matrix metalloproteinases, procollagens and fibronectin), which was confirmed by Q-PCR. Conclusions: Dietary calcium inhibits colitis development in HLA-B27 transgenic rats. Calcium prevents the colitis-related increase in intestinal permeability, diminishes diarrhea, and lowers the inflammatory response in the mucosa, resulting in less extracellular matrix breakdown. Keywords: nutritional intervention Female HLA-B27/M-NM-22-microglobulin transgenic rats on an inbred Fisher 344 background (n=8 in experimental group and n=9 in control group) (Taconic Farms, Inc, Germantown, NY), 8-10 weeks old and with a mean body weight of 128 g at the start of the experiment, were housed individually in metabolic cages. Animals were kept in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment and in a 12-h light-dark cycle. Rats were fed a purified M-bM-^@M-^XhumanizedM-bM-^@M-^Y Western diet which contained in the control situation (per kg): 200 g acid casein, 326 g corn starch, 174 g glucose, 160 g palm oil, 40 g corn oil, 50 g cellulose and 5.16 g CaHPO4.2H2O (corresponding to 30 mmol calcium/kg diet; Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO). Vitamins and minerals (other than calcium) were added to all diets according to the recommendations of the American Institute of Nutrition 1993.17 The experimental diet contained more calcium (120 mmol calcium/kg diet) at the expense of glucose. All samples were individually labelled and hybridized (Cy5). Equal amounts of Cy3 cRNA of all animals were pooled to serve as standard reference pool.

Project description:Cyberlindnera jadinii yeast is a potential sustainable novel feed ingredient for aquaculture industries. Yeasts contain bio-active components and proteins such as beta-glucans, mannans, nucleic acids and proteins that can enhance fish immunity against the disease. In our study, we focused on the characterization of intestinal immunoregulatory pathways in zebrafish (Danio rerio) by quantifying the intestine proteins with isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) and 2D LC-MS/MS approach. Zebrafish were fed either a control diet (C) or a diet supplemented with autolyzed C. jadinii (ACJ). The KEGG pathways analysis revealed that compared with the control diet, the ACJ yeast diet induced an increased abundance of proteins related to arginine and proline metabolism, phagosome, C-lectin receptor signalling pathway, ribosome pathway and PPAR signalling pathway, which can modulate and enhance the innate response of zebrafish. Moreover, fish fed ACJ yeast diet also showed decreased abundance of proteins associated with inflammatory pathways including apoptosis, necroptosis and ferroptosis pathways. These findings support a mobilization of the innate immune response and a control of inflammatory-related pathways in the intestine of zebrafish. Our findings in the well annotated proteome of zebrafish enabled a detailed investigation of intestinal responses and provide insight into the health-beneficial effects of the yeast species C. jadinii relevant for aquaculture species.

Project description:A soy diet worsens the progression of an inherited form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in male mice when compared to casein-fed mice. Females are largely resistant to this diet effect and better preserve cardiac function. We hypothesized that the abundant phytoestrogens found in soy are mainly responsible for this diet-dependent phenotype. Indeed, feeding male mice a phytoestrogen-supplemented casein-based diet can recapitulate the negative outcome seen when male mice are fed a standard soy-based diet. To gain mechanistic insights into disease pathogenesis, we used Affymetrix microarrays to profile gene expression in left ventricular tissue from 2 month old HCM male and female mice as well as wild-type littermate controls. These mice were fed a phytoestrogen (genistein + daidzein)-supplemented casein-based diet. We identified a number of molecular pathways that could explain both the male and female phenotypes.
