Quantification of tryptase and T-cell immunoglobulin mucin 1 double-positive mast cells in different degrees of human periodontitis

AIM：To examine the expression of T-cell immunoglobulin mucin 1 (TIM-1) on tryptase-positive mast cells (MCs) in different severities of human chronic periodontitis. METHODS：Human gingival specimens (n=92) were involved in this study, including healthy control (n=27), mild chronic periodontitis (n=34) and severe chronic periodontitis (n=31). The gingival specimens were fixed in 4% formaldehyde. Paraffin embedding and serial sectioning with hematoxylin and eosin staining were performed for histopathological examination, and double-immunofluorescence staining was conducted for identification of tryptase-TIM-1 double-positive MCs in the gingival tissues. RESULTS：Compared with the healthy controls, the densities (cells/mm2) of tryptase-TIM-1 double-positive MCs were significantly increased in both mild chronic periodontitis group (P<0.05) and severe chronic periodontitis group (P<0.01). However, compared with mild chronic periodontitis group, both the score of gingival tissue inflammation and the density of tryptase-TIM-1 double-positive MCs in the gingival tissues were significantly increased in severe periodontitis group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION：Significantly increased number of tryptase-TIM-1 double-positive MCs has the similar tendency as the severity of periodontitis inflammation in human chronic periodontitis, suggesting that tryptase-TIM-1 double-positive MCs may play an important role in human chronic periodotitis.

Dietary fibre and indigestible protein increase ileal glycoprotein output without impacting colonic crypt goblet cells in weaned piglets

Mucus plays an important role in gut health by favouring colonisation resistance. The aim of this study was to quantify the impact of fibre and protein on mucin recovery in ileal digesta and on goblet cell histochemistry in the proximal colon. A control diet with highly digestible protein and low fibre and three complex diets containing indigestible protein associated with low, soluble or insoluble fibre sources were tested for 14 days in piglets weaned at 28 days of age. Mucin concentration was determined by ethanol precipitation. Goblet cell subtypes in colonic crypts were analysed by histochemistry. The ileal mucin output was higher with the complex diets than with the control diet (31.6 on average vs 21.7 g/kg DM intake). Increases observed with the low and soluble fibre diets were similar (34 g/kg DM intake). This suggests a limited effect of soluble fibre in presence of indigestible protein. Surprisingly, the observed increase was lower with insoluble fibre (27.2 g/kg DM intake). DM and N output and digestibility were not affected by the diets, but a linear relationship was found between DM and mucin output. In proximal colon, crypt depth, goblet cell numbers per crypt and glycosylation subtypes were not affected by the diet suggesting no change in the capacity of mucus to protect the gut. To conclude, introducing highly indigestible protein in the diet increased ileal mucin output, without effects of these factors on crypt goblet cell patterns in the proximal colon. Introducing fibre in a diet containing highly indigestible protein had a marginal effect.     

Isolation and partial characterization of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) gill mucin

Gill mucin from rainbow trout was isolated utilizing two rounds of cesium chloride density ultracentrifugation followed by gel filtration on Sepharose CL-2B. Neither density ultracentrifugation nor gel filtration alone was sufficient for purification of the mucin. Isolated gill mucin had a density of 1.5 g/ml and eluted at the void volume of the Sepharose CL-2B column. Silver-stained reducing 6% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of gill mucin produced a band at the origin with a smear entering the separating gel. There was no evidence of a link protein in gill mucin on reducing 12% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Gill mucin had an amino acid profile similar to that of mucins in other species. Specifically, 35.1% of the total amino acids were represented by threonine and serine, while another 27.5% were alanine and proline. Gill mucin contained galactose (26.7 ± 3.2%), galactosamine (22.5 ± 4.4%), glucose (16.6 ± 8.7%), fucose (16.1 ± 1.5%), glucosamine (12.0 ± 1.9%) and mannose (5.1 ± 4.4%). Uronic acid levels from purified mucin were very low (0.7 ± 0.1%). Sialic acid was also present (0.06 g/g of mucin protein). The periodic acid-Schiff assay routinely utilized for detection of mucins was relatively insensitive for detection of gill mucin (6 × less sensitive than for pig gastric mucin) so a rabbit antiserum was raised. The antiserum produced profiles similar to the periodic acid-Schiff assay of fractions following gel filtration. Immunofluorescence of formalin-fixed rainbow trout gill tissue sections showed that the antiserum detected mucin within branchial goblet cells.     

Caged Dexamethasone/Quercetin Nanoparticles,Formed of the Morphogenetic Active Inorganic Polyphosphate,are Strong Inducers of MUC5AC

Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is a widely distributed polymer found from bacteria to animals, including marine species. This polymer exhibits morphogenetic as well as antiviral activity and releases metabolic energy after enzymatic hydrolysis also in human cells. In the pathogenesis of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the platelets are at the frontline of this syndrome. Platelets release a set of molecules, among them polyP. In addition, the production of airway mucus, the first line of body defense, is impaired in those patients. Therefore, in this study, amorphous nanoparticles of the magnesium salt of polyP (Mg-polyP-NP), matching the size of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, were prepared and loaded with the secondary plant metabolite quercetin or with dexamethasone to study their effects on the respiratory epithelium using human alveolar basal epithelial A549 cells as a model. The results revealed that both compounds embedded into the polyP nanoparticles significantly increased the steady-state-expression of the MUC5AC gene. This mucin species is the major mucus glycoprotein present in the secreted gel-forming mucus. The level of gene expression caused by quercetin or with dexamethasone, if caged into polyP NP, is significantly higher compared to the individual drugs alone. Both quercetin and dexamethasone did not impair the growth-supporting effect of polyP on A549 cells even at concentrations of quercetin which are cytotoxic for the cells. A possible mechanism of the effects of the two drugs together with polyP on mucin expression is proposed based on the scavenging of free oxygen species and the generation of ADP/ATP from the polyP, which is needed for the organization of the protective mucin-based mucus layer.

Impact of oral immunoglobulins on animal health—A review

Immunoglobulin (Ig) is the one of the main anti‐infective components of blood, colostrum and breast milk. It is the unique glycoprotein that defends the body from harmful bacteria, viruses and other environmental pathogens by either binding to them or by forming an encapsulating barrier. The expansion of antimicrobial and immunomodulatory products from natural sources for dietary supplementation in both animals and humans is an ever growing and thriving area of research. Purified Ig from sheep serum (ovine serum Ig) is one such candidate product. Recent work has shown the various biological effects of oral Ig in different animal models including its effect on growth, immunity, intestinal growth and gut barrier function. The objective of this paper is to review the results of recent studies demonstrating the effects of oral Ig in both pathogenic and non‐pathogenic animal models and to suggest a possible mechanism of its action. Overall, purified oral Ig improves growth of healthy (and challenged) rats and defends against enteric infection by immunomodulation, mucin protein and/or modification of commensal microbial composition. The findings contribute to knowledge of how orally administered ovine Ig can influence and enhance key indicators of gut function and overall growth performance in an animal model.     

Response of in ovo administration of zinc on egg hatchability and immune response of commercial broiler chicken

An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of in ovo administration of different forms of zinc with respect to hatchability and performance of commercial broiler chicken. In trial 1, the fertile eggs on day 18 were divided into six treatment groups: Group I as control without any supplementation of zinc, group II to IV were supplemented with 0.5 mg zinc per egg as zinc sulphate, zinc methionine or nano zinc, respectively, and Group V with nano zinc at 0.25 mg zinc per egg. Sixth group received 0.5 ml citric acid per egg as sham control. The results of the first trial indicated that in ovo administration of nano zinc at both levels and zinc methionine resulted in complete failure of hatchability. A second trial to validate the result of trial 1 consisted of Group I control (no administration). Group II and Group III were supplemented with zinc sulphate and zinc methionine, respectively, at 0.5 mg zinc per egg. Group IV and Group V were supplemented with nano zinc at 0.04 and 0.08 mg per egg. In the second trial, again there was a similar pattern for zinc sulphate and zinc methionine. Administration of Zn by nano form had around 80% hatchability on fertile eggs in comparison with the unadministered control eggs (92%). There was no difference (p > .05) in body weight gain, feed intake and FCR. No difference (p > .05) was observed between treatments for cell‐mediated immune response and humoral immune response. Nano Zn‐administered group showed a non‐significant downregulation of MUC2 gene. It could be concluded that in ovo administration of higher levels of zinc has to be with caution for the developing embryo of commercial broiler chicken.
