Goblet Cells and Mucin Related Gene Expression in Mice Infected with Eimeria papillata
Coccidiosis causes considerable economic loss in the poultry industry. The current study aimed to investigate the response of goblet cells as well as the induced tissue damage during Eimeria papillata infection. Mice were infected with sporulated E. papillata oocytes. On day 5 postinfection, the fecal output was determined. Also, the jejunum was prepared for the histological, histochemical, and...
متن کاملMucin gene expression and mucin content in the chicken intestinal goblet cells are affected by in ovo feeding of carbohydrates.
The protective mucus layer covers the entire surface of the gastrointestinal tract. The mucus layer also acts as a medium for molecule transport between the luminal contents and the enterocytes; therefore it has a major role in nutrient absorption. The main mucus layer component, mucin glycoproteins, is produced by mucous-secreting goblet cells. In chicken small intestine, functional developmen...
متن کاملIL-4 induces mucin gene expression and goblet cell metaplasia in vitro and in vivo.
Goblet cell metaplasia and mucus hypersecretion are important features in the pathogenesis of asthma. The cytokine IL-4 has been shown to play a role in animal models of asthma, where it induces Th2 lymphocyte differentiation and B lymphocyte IgE class switch. IL-4 has also been implicated in the differentiation of goblet cells via effects on lymphocytes and eosinophils. In this study we hypoth...
متن کاملAlteration in goblet cell numbers and mucin gene expression in a mouse model of allergic conjunctivitis.
PURPOSE To determine whether the number of filled conjunctival goblet cells and mucin gene expression are altered in a mouse model of allergic conjunctivitis. METHODS A/J mice were sensitized intraperitoneally with cat dander or the peptide P3-1 from the protein Fel d1. Two weeks later, the mice were challenged for 7 consecutive days with eye drops containing the allergens. Conjunctival tissu...
متن کاملγδ T-cell-deficient mice show alterations in mucin expression, glycosylation, and goblet cells but maintain an intact mucus layer.
Intestinal homeostasis is maintained by a hierarchy of immune defenses acting in concert to minimize contact between luminal microorganisms and the intestinal epithelial cell surface. The intestinal mucus layer, covering the gastrointestinal tract epithelial cells, contributes to mucosal homeostasis by limiting bacterial invasion. In this study, we used γδ T-cell-deficient (TCRδ(-/-)) mice to e...
