چکیده

Yoo, Dongjin, Winson Lo, Stephen Goodman, Wasif Ali, Carol Semrad, and Michael Field. Interferon-g downregulates ion transport in murine small intestine cultured in vitro. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 279: G1323–G1332, 2000.—Effects of IFN-g on mammalian small intestinal ion transport were studied in vitro using incubated sheets of murine small intestine in Ussing chambers. In oxygenated standard culture medium containing hydrocortisone and antibiotics, they maintained their short-circuit current (Isc) responses to glucose and theophylline for 48 h. Histological examination revealed a 50% diminution of villus height over 36 h but no change in crypts. Height was better maintained during a 36-h incubation of small intestine from SCID mice, suggesting a role for B or T lymphocytes in villus atrophy. Exposure of small intestine to 100 U/ml IFN-g for 36 h decreased basal Isc by 40% and Isc responses to glucose and theophylline by ;70%; at 1,000 U/ml for 36 h, IFN-g inhibited these Isc responses by 90%. An inhibitor of inducible NO synthase did not reverse these effects, suggesting that they are not mediated by NO. Tissue resistance, mucosal K content, and epithelial morphology were not affected. Ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity in homogenates was inhibited 60% by IFN-g (100 U/ml for 36 h). IFN-g inhibition of Isc responses to glucose and theophylline also occurred in SCID mouse small intestine. Thus murine small intestinal sheets can be maintained viable in vitro for at least 48 h, although villus blunting develops (but less so in SCID mouse small intestine). Also, prolonged exposure to IFN-g downregulates Na-coupled glucose absorption, active Cl secretion, and Na-K-ATPase activity, effects unlikely to be mediated by enhanced NO.

اثرات متقابل کادمیوم و pH محیط بر جذب روده‌ای اسیدهای چرب در رت

Background: The intestinal absorption of fatty acids may take place through simple diffusion as well as through protein carrier mediated transport, although the relative importance of each pathway is dependent on the ambient condition of entrocytes. Cad-mium ion influences the absorption of fatty acids in entrocytes. However, the effect of cadmium ion on the absorption of fatty acids in differe...

Synergistic Effect of LPS, IFN- and Iron on Apoptosis of Balb/c Mice Macrophages Following Nitric Oxide Production

Objective(s) Previous studies have demonstrated that the nitric oxide (NO) dependent death of murine peritoneal macrophages activated in vitro with IFN-g and LPS is mediated through apoptosis. In the present study, we investigated the synergistic effect of LPS, IFN-g and iron on NO production and apoptosis. Materials and Methods After determination of iron cytotoxicity, the peritoneal macrop...

Ion transport in the gut.

The in vitro preparation of the small intestine of the rat is well suited for studies of ion transport. Data from this preparation indicate that the passage of water and electro-lytes across the intestinal epithelium depends on active transport. Glycolysis seems to be involved as a source of energy for the transport of ions from the mucosal to the serosal aspect of the intestinal wall. LITERATU...
