AbstractT cell populations and IL-3 mRNA expression were analysed in mesenteric lymph node cells and intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) in Strongyloides ratti- infected mice. On days 7 and 12 post-infection, 2.6 times as many mesenteric lymph node cells were present in S. ratti- infected mice compared with uninfected mice. Although the percentages of CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ cells decreased during infection, the absolute numbers of these cell types increased on day 7 due to an overall increase in the mesenteric lymph node cell number. The CD4/CD8 ratio in IEL was increased on day 5, whereas no significant change in the CD4/CD8 ratio was observed in the mesenteric lymph node cells. Expression of IL-3 mRNA, which is an important cytokine for the induction of murine mucosal mastocytosis and S. ratti- expulsion, was examined in mesenteric lymph nodes and IEL of uninfected and infected mice. IL-3 mRNA was detected in mesenteric lymph nodes of S. ratti-infected mice but not detected in the lymph nodes of uninfected mice. IL-3 mRNA was detected in IEL from both infected and uninfected mice with an 20-fold increase in expression in IEL of infected mice. Overall, IL-3 mRNA levels were higher in IEL than in mesenteric lymph nodes following S. ratti- infection. Expression of IL-4, IL-10, stem cell factor (SCF or c-kit ligand) and IFN-γ mRNA was also examined in these two tissues. IL-10 mRNA was not detected in any tissue examined and IFN-γ mRNA levels were unaltered as a result of an S. ratti- infection. Elevated expression of mRNA for SCF (5-fold) and IL-4 (20-fold) was observed in the mesenteric lymph nodes of infected mice. In contrast, SCF mRNA levels were similar in IEL of uninfected and infected animals and only a modest increase in IL-4 mRNA was observed in IEL of infected mice.

This research aimed to investigate the allergic reaction of C3H/HeJ mice after sensitization with ovalbumin (OVA) without any adjuvant and to analyze the association between intestinal microbiota and allergy-related immune cells in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN). The allergic responses of C3H/HeJ mice orally sensitized with OVA were evaluated, and immune cell subsets in spleen and MLN and cytokines were also detected. The intestinal bacterial community structure was analyzed, followed by Spearman correlation analysis between changed gut microbiota species and allergic parameters. Sensitization induced a noticeable allergic response to the gavage of OVA without adjuvant. Increased levels of Th2, IL-4, CD103+CD86+ DC, and MHCII+CD86+ DC and decreased levels of Th1, Treg, IFN-γ, TGF-β1, and CD11C+CD103+ DC were observed in allergic mice. Furthermore, families of Lachnospiraceae, Clostridiaceae_1, Ruminococcaceae, and peprostreptococcaceae, all of which belonging to the order Clostridiales, were positively related to Treg and CD11C+CD103+ DC, while they were negatively related to an allergic reaction, levels of Th2, CD103+CD86+ DC, and MHCII+CD86+ DC in MLN. The family of norank_o_Mollicutes_RF39 belonging to the order Mollicutes_RF39 was similarly correlated with allergic reaction and immune cells in MLN of mice. To sum up, allergic reactions and intestinal flora disturbances could be induced by OVA oral administration alone. The orders of Clostridiales and Mollicutes_RF39 in intestinal flora are positively correlated with levels of Treg and CD11C+CD103+ DC in MLN of mice.

Combination feeding (human milk and formula) is common and influences immune development compared to exclusive breastfeeding. Infant formulas contain prebiotics, which influence immune development. Herein, immune development of combination-fed (CF), sow-reared (SR) and formula-fed (FF) piglets, and the effect of prebiotics was tested. Piglets (n = 47) were randomized to: SR, FF, CF, FF+prebiotic (FP), and CF+prebiotic (CP). FP and CP received formula with galactooligosaccharides and inulin (4 g/L in a 4:1 ratio). CF and CP piglets were sow-reared for until d5 and then rotated between a sow and formula every 12 h. On day 21, piglets received an intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide 2 h prior to necropsy. Immune cells from blood, mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN), and spleen were phenotyped. Classical (nitric oxide synthase) and alternative (arginase activity) activation pathways were measured in isolated macrophages. Serum IL-6 and TNF-α were measured by ELISA. SR piglets had lower (p < 0.0001) CD4+ T-helper cells and higher (p < 0.0001) B-cells in PBMC than all other groups. CP piglets had higher (p < 0.0001) arginase activity compared to all other groups. FF piglets had higher (p < 0.05) IL-6 compared to both CF and SR, but were similar to FP and CP. Thus, CF, with or without prebiotics, differentially affected immunity compared to exclusively fed groups.

AbstractIntestinal Foxp3+ regulatory T cell (Treg) subsets are crucial players in tolerance to microbiota-derived and food-borne antigens, and compelling evidence suggests that the intestinal microbiota modulates their generation, functional specialization, and maintenance. Selected bacterial species and microbiota-derived metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), have been reported to promote Treg homeostasis in the intestinal lamina propria. Furthermore, gut-draining mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs) are particularly efficient sites for the generation of peripherally induced Tregs (pTregs). Despite this knowledge, the direct role of the microbiota and their metabolites in the early stages of pTreg induction within mLNs is not fully elucidated. Here, using an adoptive transfer-based pTreg induction system, we demonstrate that neither transfer of a dysbiotic microbiota nor dietary SCFA supplementation modulated the pTreg induction capacity of mLNs. Even mice housed under germ-free (GF) conditions displayed equivalent pTreg induction within mLNs. Further molecular characterization of these de novo induced pTregs from mLNs by dissection of their transcriptomes and accessible chromatin regions revealed that the microbiota indeed has a limited impact and does not contribute to the initialization of the Treg-specific epigenetic landscape. Overall, our data suggest that the microbiota is dispensable for the early stages of pTreg induction within mLNs.
