ABSTRACT
Objective To establish the inflammatory bowel disease model of mice by Trinitro-benzenesulfonic acid(TNBS).To investigate the correlation between the IBD and SIgA level and the effect of Clostridium butyricum,Bifidobacterium infantis single or combined on sIgA expression.Methods BABL/c mice were randomly divided into:WT group,TNBS group,CB group,BB group and CB + BB group.After 2 weeks,the general situation and weight change of mice was evaluated.Then the mice were sacrificed to collect colon tissue.The inflammation of each group was observed by HE staining.The expression of sIgA were respectively located and measured by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting.Results TNBS group showed more pathological changes in the colon than the WT group,CB group,BB group and CB + BB group;the expressions of sIgA in colon were mainly located in intestinal lumen and lamina propria of intestinal villus;the level of sIgA in colon and tissue decreased in the TNBS group compared with WT group(P ＜ 0.01;P ＜ 0.01);the level of sIgA in colon and tissue increased ín the CB group and BB group compared with TN-BS group(P ＜0.01;P ＜0.01;P ＜0.01;P ＜ 0.01).There is no significant difference between CB group and BB group(P ＞ 0.05).The level of sIgA in colon and tissue increased in the CB +BB group compared with CB group or BB group(P ＜0.01;P ＜0.01).Conclusion The change of sIgA content is related to the occurrence of IBD.CB and BB can both promote sIgA production in IBD mice and reduce the inflammatory reaction.The combination of the two probiotics shows stronger effect than single one.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of Saccharomyces boulardii(SB) on interleukin-17, interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor-β1 of inflammatory bowel disease ( IBD ) rats which were induced by trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid( TNBS) . Methods Balb/c female rats were randomly divided into three groups,normal group,TNBS group and TNBS+SB group. TNBS method was used to set up IBD rat models. TNBS group:the mice were injected by 5％ TNBS 0. 1 ml+50％ ethanol 0. 1 ml per mouse from rectum for 5 days,and then were filled in stomach by normal saline 0. 1 ml on the 2nd day for 2 weeks;TNBS+SB group:the mice were injected by 5％ TNBS 0. 10 ml+50％ ethanol 0. 10 ml per mouse from rectum for 5 days,and then were filled in stomach by SB (SB no less than 109 CFU/ml) 0. 1 ml on the 2nd day for 2 weeks;the normal group:the mice were injected by 50％ ethanol 0. 2 ml per mouse from rectum for 5 days, and then were filled in stomach by normal saline 0. 1 ml on the 2nd day for 2 weeks. At the 15th day,the general situation of mice were observed,serum and colon tissue was collected. Alterations of colon inflamma-tion were observed by means of haematoxylin-eosin ( HE);the level of IL-17,IL-10 and TGF-β1 in serum were evaluated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The level of IL-17,IL-10 and TGF-β1 in colon tissue was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Results The IL-17 level of serum and colon tissue in-creased(P<0. 05),but IL-10(P<0. 05) and TGF-β1(P<0. 05)decreased in TNBS group compared with those in the normal group. The level of IL-17 in TNBS+SB group was lower than that in TNBS group( P<0. 05),but the levels of IL-10(P<0. 05) and TGF-β1(P<0. 05)were higher than those in TNBS group. Compared with the normal group,the level of IL-17 in TNBS+SB group increased ( P<0. 05 ) , but IL-10 (P<0.05) and TGF-β1(P <0.05)decreased. Conclusion The expression of cytokine IL-17 increase, IL-10 and TGF-β1 decrease in peripheral blood and colon tissue of IBD. SB may ameliorate the intestinal inflammatory response of IBD by balancing the expression of IL-17,IL-10 and TGF-β1.
ABSTRACT
Probiotics stimulate dendritic cells exert regulatory functions by promoting the release of cytokines,which change the balance of Th1/Th2.This process mediates Th1 cell response instead of Th2 to enhance immune function.Probiotics have shown preventive and therapeutic potential for diseases,including several IgE-related diseases,such as atopic dermattis,asthma and allergic rhinitis.However,because of complex causes and numerous incentives,there is no consistent conclusion regarding probiotics application in allergic diseases.Further evidence-based medical researches will be required in the future.
