Polymers in the gut compress the colonic mucus hydrogel.
Colonic mucus is a key biological hydrogel that protects the gut from infection and physical damage and mediates host-microbe interactions and drug delivery. However, little is known about how its structure is influenced by materials it comes into contact with regularly. For example, the gut abounds in polymers such as dietary fibers or administered therapeutics, yet whether such polymers inter...
متن کاملGlycoprotein from Pig Colonic Mucus
1. A high-molecular-weight glycoprotein constitutes over 80% by weight of the total glycoprotein from water-soluble pig colonic mucus. 2. It was isolated free from nucleic acid and non-covalently bound protein by nuclease digestion followed by equilibrium centrifugation in a CsCl gradient. 3. The glycoprotein has the following composition by weight: fucose 10.4%; glucosamine 23.9%; galactosamin...
متن کاملHuman colonic mucus is a reservoir for antimicrobial peptides.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS To prevent bacterial adherence and translocation, the colonic mucosa is covered by a protecting mucus layer and the epithelium synthesizes antimicrobial peptides. The present qualitative study investigated the contents and interaction of these peptides in and with rectal mucus. METHODS Rectal mucus extracts were analyzed for antimicrobial activity and screened with matrix-...
متن کاملNLRP6 Inflammasome Orchestrates the Colonic Host-Microbial Interface by Regulating Goblet Cell Mucus Secretion
Mucus production by goblet cells of the large intestine serves as a crucial antimicrobial protective mechanism at the interface between the eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells of the mammalian intestinal ecosystem. However, the regulatory pathways involved in goblet cell-induced mucus secretion remain largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the NLRP6 inflammasome, a recently described regulator...
متن کاملFood Gum based Hydrogel Polymers
Among these non-food applications, synthesis hydrogel polymers have been widely concerned due to their widespread applications in pharmaceutical and medical areas, e.g., as delivery vehicles for drugs, cells, genes, or proteins, and as scaffolds for tissue engineering [6-8]. Hydrogels are polymeric materials that have a three-dimensional network structure with the ability of absorbing abundant ...
