چکیده

We investigated the effect of Lactobacillus crispatus KT-11 (KT-11) on intestinal immune systems in C3H/HeN mice. The level of intestinal total immunoglobulin (Ig) A was significantly higher in mice given KT-11 than in mice not given KT-11. Gene expression relating to antibody production and innate immune response increased more than 2-fold in the former compared with the later. Moreover, the number of IL-6(+)CD11b(+) cells was significantly higher in Peyer's patch cells cultured with KT-11 than in those cultured without KT-11, although the number of CD4(+) cells and the cell ratio of CD4(+)/CD8(+) were remarkably lower in the culture with KT-11. These results indicate that KT-11 enhances intestinal IgA production and innate immune response in C3H/HeN mice.

Protective role of Toll-like receptor 4 during the initiation stage of cutaneous chemical carcinogenesis.

Toll-like receptors (TLR) activate multiple steps in inflammatory reactions in innate immune responses. They also activate signals that are critically involved in the initiation of adaptive immune responses. Many tumorigenic chemicals have been associated with endotoxin hypersensitivity mediated through TLR4. To determine the role of TLR4 in cutaneous skin carcinogenesis, we treated TLR4-defici...

Phycocyanin enhances secretary IgA antibody response and suppresses allergic IgE antibody response in mice immunized with antigen-entrapped biodegradable microparticles.

In the present study, we have investigated the effects of phycocyanin, a biliprotein of Spirulina platensis, on mucosal and systemic immune responses and allergic inflammation in C3H/HeN and BALB/cA mice. To induce the antigen-specific antibodies in the peripheral lymphoid tissues such as Peyer's patches and mesenteric lymph nodes, biodegradable ovalbumin-entrapped poly (DL-lactide-co-glycolide...

Improved Survival and Neurological Outcomes after Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Toll-like Receptor 4-mutant Mice

BACKGROUND Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a crucial receptor in the innate immune system and noninfectious immune responses. It has been reported that TLR4 participates in the pathological course of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, the role of TLR4 in the process of I/R injury after cardiac arrest (CA) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is still unknown. In this study, we invest...

Thioredoxin-related mechanisms in hyperoxic lung injury in mice.

Reduction of glutathione disulfide (GSSG) to glutathione (GSH) by glutathione reductase (GR) enhances the efficiency of GSH-dependent antioxidant activities. However, GR-deficient (a1Neu) mice are less susceptible to acute lung injury from continuous exposure to > 95% O(2) (96 h: 6.9 +/- 0.1 g right lung/kg body versus room air 3.6 +/- 0.3) than are C3H/HeN control mice (10.6 +/- 1.3 versus 4.2...

Toll-like receptor 4 mediates an antitumor host response induced by Salmonella choleraesuis.

PURPOSE We have shown tumor-targeting and antitumor activities of an attenuated Salmonella choleraesuis in various tumor models. Meanwhile, host factors, including innate and adaptive immune responses, play roles in Salmonella-induced antitumor activity. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is identified as a signaling receptor for lipopolysaccharide derived from Gram-negative bacteria. However, the det...
