Effects of soybean agglutinin on nitrogen metabolism and on characteristics of intestinal tissues and pancreas in rats.

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of increasing concentrations of supplemental purified soybean agglutinin on performance, apparent nitrogen digestibility, plasma insulin and cholecystokinine (CCK) levels in rats as well as on the growth of the small intestine and pancreas. In Experiment 1, a 10-day nitrogen balance trial was conducted with 24 male Sprague-Dawley rats (mean BW 85 g) that were randomly allotted to one of four dietary treatments. Rats in each group were provided daily with 7 g of a casein-cornstarch based diet (control) or a diet supplemented with purified soybean agglutinin at 0.4, 0.6 or 0.8 mg/g. Urine and faeces were collected daily and stored at -20 degrees C until analysis. In Experiment 2, 30 male Sprague-Dawley rats (mean BW 75 g) were divided into five groups for a 20-day growth experiment. Each rat was fed daily 7 g of a casein-cornstarch based diet (control) or a diet supplemented with purified soybean agglutinin at 0.4, 0.8, 1.2 or 2.0 mg/g. All experimental diets were adjusted to contain a similar level of nutrients. Results from the two experiments showed that supplementation of soybean agglutinin below 2.0 mg/g diet had no significant effect on rat performance. However, rats receiving 2.0 mg soybean agglutinin per gram of diet showed a significant reduction in weight gain compared to the control group. Incorporation of soybean agglutinin in the diet reduced apparent nitrogen digestibility and the retention of dietary nitrogen by increasing nitrogen loss from the faeces and urine. In addition, plasma CCK level increased with increasing inclusion of soybean agglutinin in the diet. On the contrary, the plasma insulin level declined as soybean agglutinin level increased. Soybean agglutinin induced a polyamine-dependent hyperplastic and hypertrophic growth of the small intestine and pancreas by increasing the contents of protein, RNA and DNA, though the increase in weight of small intestine was not significant. Furthermore, 1.2 and 2.0 mg soybean agglutinin per gram of diet promoted proliferation of the jejunum mucosa, while the structure of the brush border epithelium of small intestinal had no damaging change and no diarrhoea was observed in any treatment group. Based on these results, supplementation of low doses of soybean agglutinin or soy protein to parenterally-fed animals affected by atrophic small intestine may promote small intestinal growth.     

Effects of inflammation and aqueous tear film deficiency on conjunctival morphology and ocular mucus composition in cats

An experimental model of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) was produced by removing the lacrimal gland and the gland of the third eyelid from the left eye of 6 cats. The right eye of each cat was left intact and used as a control. After 2 weeks, cats were euthanatized and the central portion of the upper eyelid from both eyes of each cat was excised. Histologic sections were stained with either hematoxylin and eosin or with a battery of biotinylated lectins including concanavalin A (conA), soybean agglutinin (SBA), wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), succinylated wheat germ agglutinin (S-WGA), Ulex europaeus agglutinin I (UEA), Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA), Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA), peanut agglutinin (PNA), and PNA pretreated with neuraminidase. Consistent differences in histologic features were not observed between conjunctivas with KCS and control conjunctivas. A variable degree of mononuclear cell infiltration of the substantia propria was observed in control conjunctivas and those with KCS. In both groups, conjunctival goblet cell density decreased and epithelial stratification increased as the degree of submucosal inflammatory cell infiltration increased. Lectin binding sites for DBA, WGA, S-WGA, UEA, PNA, and PNA pretreated with neuraminidase were detected on conjunctival goblet cells of conjunctivas with KCS and control conjunctivas. The mucus/glycocalyx layer of conjunctival epithelial cells in both groups of conjunctivas bound lectins RCA, WGA, UEA, and conA, but inconsistently bound S-WGA. In both groups, DBA principally bound to the mucus layer overlying normal epithelium, whereas PNA pretreated with neuraminidase consistently bound to the mucus layer of stratified epithelial surfaces free of goblet cells. Binding of SBA to goblet cells and the mucus/glycocalyx layer was variable.     

Culture of Piglet Intestinal Epithelial Cells in vitro and the Infectivity of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus on the Cells

The study was aimed to establish a simple in vitro culture system for piglet small intestinal epithelial cells,and to provide materials for researches on porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV).In this study,newborn piglets that did not eat colostrum were used as the initial donors,and the primary cells were separated in vitro by scraping the intestinal mucosa from the intestinal lumen and mechanical separation and dispersion.The piglet intestinal epithelial cells were purified using 0.1% trypsin differential digestion method.Compared the effects of newborn weak piglets and normal piglets as donors on the activity of primary intestinal epithelial cells.MTT method was used to compare the proliferation activity of primary cells of different generations.Immunofluorescence and Real-time RT-PCR were used to detect the infection and proliferation of PEDV strain CV777 in primary intestinal epithelial cells.The results showed that the isolation and culture method in vitro used in this study could obtain primary intestinal epithelial cells with good proliferation activity,with obvious S-type cell proliferation curves.The cells with high purity and single morphology could be obtained by differential digestion,and had good proliferation activity after five consecutive passages.The proliferative activity of intestinal epithelial cells isolated from weak piglets and normal piglets had no obvious difference,and provided new way for reducing the cost of primary cell culture.The results of immunofluorescence and Real-time RT-PCR showed that PEDV could infect the primary intestinal epithelial cells,and replicated and proliferated in them.In this study,we established a simple,practical and low-cost method for in vitro culture of piglet primary small intestinal epithelial cells.The primary cells cultured by this method could be used as basic materials for the isolation and culture of PEDV and related research.

Binding of a surface protein of Staphylococcus aureus to cultured ovine mammary gland epithelial cells.

Staphylococcus aureus is the most persistent pathogen causing ovine mastitis. This study investigated S. aureus binding to cultured epithelial cells obtained from the mammary gland. A staphylococcal 145kDa cell wall adhesin, originally isolated from a bovine mastitis strain, was detected in lysostaphin-solubilized ovine mastitis strains and in the encapsulated strain A. This adhesin was able to bind to cultured ovine mammary gland epithelial cells (MGEC) and to a rat intestinal epithelial cell line (RIE-1), exhibiting different electrophoretic mobilities that could be attributable to protein polymorphism. Inhibition assays using antibodies against 145kDa adhesin and against whole bacteria showed the specificity of the binding to cells. The role of this protein in adherence was assessed by adherence inhibition tests carried out in vitro with radiolabeled bacteria and cultured epithelial cells. Preincubation of bacteria with antibodies against adhesin 145kDa or against strain c195 resulted in a statistically significant decrease of adherence. These experiments suggest that adherence of S. aureus to MGEC may be critical for colonization.     

Porcine IPEC-J2 intestinal epithelial cells in microbiological investigations

IPEC-J2 cells are porcine intestinal columnar epithelial cells that were isolated from neonatal piglet mid-jejunum. This cell line forms polarized monolayers with high transepithelial electrical resistance when cultured on 0.4 μm pore-size filters. The cell line is unique in that it is derived from small intestinal tissue (compared to the common human colon-derived lines HT-29, T84, and Caco-2) and is not transformed (compared to the porcine small intestinal line, IPI-2I). Porcine intestinal epithelial cells more closely mimic human physiology than analogous rodent cell lines (e.g. IEC-6 or IEC-18), which is important in studies of zoonotic infections; in addition, they provide specificity to study porcine-derived infections. IPEC-J2 cells are increasingly being used in microbiological studies to examine the interactions of various animal and human pathogens, including Salmonella enterica and pathogenic Escherichia coli, with intestinal epithelial cells. The IPEC-J2 cell line has also been employed in some probiotic studies, in which the cells have been used as an initial screening tool for adhesiveness and anti-inflammatory properties of the potential probiotic microorganisms. The validity of these studies is not clear as follow-up studies to assess the efficacy of the probiotics in vivo have not been published to date. The aims of this review are to provide a comprehensive overview of the microbiological studies that have been conducted with IPEC-J2 cells and a reference guide of key cellular and immune markers that have been identified in this cell line that may prove to be useful in future studies.     

Interactions of butyric acid- and acetic acid-treated Salmonella with chicken primary cecal epithelial cells in vitro

In vitro studies of the interaction between pathogenic bacteria and the chicken intestinal epithelium are hampered by the lack of a host- and tissue-specific in vitro model. Therefore, a reproducible method for isolation and cultivation of chicken primary cecal epithelial cells was developed. Cecal crypts were isolated and cultured in vitro to form a semiconfluent layer of epithelial cells. Incubation of Salmonella enteritidis with these cells resulted in invasion. Pretreatment of the Salmonella bacteria with butyric acid resulted in a significant decrease of invasion of the bacteria in the chicken cecal epithelial cells, whereas pretreatment with acetic acid increased invasiveness. These interactions of S. enteritidis with primary chicken cecal epithelial cells were similar to the interactions with other epithelial cell types.     

Tissue culture of feline normal mammary gland

To study the growth and morphology of feline mammary epithelial cells in vitro, normal feline mammary tissues as well as cells collected from feline milk were cultured and examined using phase-contrast microscopy and immunohistochemistry. The method employed was a modification of Hiratsuka et al., and was found to be useful for the culture of dissociated feline mammary tissue. Small polygonal cells and large spindle-shaped cells that were positively stained with anti-keratin and anti-actin antibodies formed colonies with a pavement-like structure in culture of mid-pregnant mammary gland. Cultures of involuting mammary gland were composed mainly of small spindle-shaped cells, which were negative for keratin immunostaining and thought to be fibroblasts. Myofibroblasts, which participate in feline mammary carcinogenesis, and show keratin negative, actin positive, were not encountered in the present culture system of normal mammary gland. The cells from milk formed small colonies, but did not grow to reach confluent monolayer.     

Porcine intestinal epithelial cell lines as a new in vitro model for studying adherence and pathogenesis of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infections result in large economic losses in the swine industry worldwide. The organism causes diarrhea by adhering to and colonizing enterocytes in the small intestines. While much progress has been made in understanding the pathogenesis of ETEC, no homologous intestinal epithelial cultures suitable for studying porcine ETEC pathogenesis have been described prior to this report. In the current study, we investigated the adherence of various porcine ETEC strains to two porcine (IPEC-1 and IPEC-J2) and one human (INT-407) small intestinal epithelial cell lines. Each cell line was assessed for its ability to support the adherence of E. coli expressing fimbrial adhesins K88ab, K88ac, K88ad, K99, F41, 987P, and F18. Wild-type ETEC expressing K88ab, K88ac, and K88ad efficiently bound to both IPEC-1 and IPEC-J2 cells. An ETEC strain expressing both K99 and F41 bound heavily to both porcine cell lines but an E. coli strain expressing only K99 bound very poorly to these cells. E. coli expressing F18 adhesin strongly bound to IPEC-1 cells but did not adhere to IPEC-J2 cells. The E. coli strains G58-1 and 711 which express no fimbrial adhesins and those that express 987P fimbriae failed to bind to either porcine cell line. Only strains B41 and K12:K99 bound in abundance to INT-407 cells. The binding of porcine ETEC to IPEC-J2, IPEC-1 and INT-407 with varying affinities, together with lack of binding of 987P ETEC and non-fimbriated E. coli strains, suggests strain-specific E. coli binding to these cell lines. These findings suggest the potential usefulness of porcine intestinal cell lines for studying ETEC pathogenesis.     

Cultivation of corneal epithelial cell sheets on canine amniotic membrane

Objective To develop and assess canine corneal epithelial cell sheets cultivated from limbal stem cells on amniotic membrane. Procedures Canine corneal limbal segments were obtained from six beagle dogs. Cryopreserved denuded amniotic membranes (obtained from Miniature Dachshund and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breeds) from which the epithelial cells were removed were used as scaffolds. The limbal segments were cultured on these amniotic membranes with 3T3 feeder cells for 2 weeks. The harvested corneal epithelial cell sheets were stained with H&E for histologic analysis. The harvested sheets were analyzed immunohistochemically using a corneal epithelium‐specific marker keratin 3(K3) and putative stem cell markers ABCG2, p63, and vimentin. Results Cultivated cells from the corneal limbal tissues reached confluency in 7–8 days. The cultivated cells adhered to the denuded amniotic membrane and formed a sheet. The cultivated cell sheet was transparent and consisted of five to eight layers. K3 was observed in all layers and ABCG2, p63, and vimentin were notably present in the basal layer of the cultivated canine epithelium by immunofluorescence. Conclusions Canine corneal epithelial cells were successfully cultivated on the canine amniotic membrane. The cultivated epithelial sheets contained putative stem cells in the basal layer and had a stratified epithelium.
