Modulating gut immunity and neoplasia with oral cytokine adjuvants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oral administration of particulate IL-10 suppressed polyposis, ameliorated systemic pathology and extended lifespan in APCmin/+ mice. Therapeutic effect was associated with selective activity of IL-10 on intestinal CD4+Foxp3+RORγt+IL-17+ pathogenic T-regulatory cells. Studies were recently extended to a bacterially-driven murine colon adenocarcinoma model with similar results. Clinical implications of these findings are discussed.

Harnessing the antibacterial and immunological properties of mucosal-associated invariant T cells in the development of novel oral vaccines against enteric infections.
Enteric infections are a major cause of mortality and morbidity with significant social and economic implications worldwide and particularly in developing countries. An attractive approach to minimizing the impact of these diseases is via the development of oral vaccination strategies. However, oral vaccination is challenging due to the tolerogenic and hyporesponsive nature of antigen presentin...
متن کاملImmunomodulation of TH2 biased immunity with mucosal administration of nanoemulsion adjuvant
TH2-biased immune responses are associated with inadequate protection against some pathogens and with cancer, colitis, asthma and allergy. Since most currently used vaccine adjuvants induce a TH2-biased response, this has led to interest in developing adjuvants capable of activating TH1 immunity and modulating existing TH2 responses. Immunotherapies to shift immune responses from TH2 to TH1 hav...
متن کاملVaccines against enteric infections for the developing world.
Since the first licensure of the Sabin oral polio vaccine more than 50 years ago, only eight enteric vaccines have been licensed for four disease indications, and all are given orally. While mucosal vaccines offer programmatically attractive tools for facilitating vaccine deployment, their development remains hampered by several factors: -limited knowledge regarding the properties of the gut im...
متن کاملNew insight into the immunomodulatory mechanisms of Tretinoin in NMRI mice
Objective(s):Recent evidence have proposed that Tretinoin produced in the gut preferentially promote differentiation of FoxP3+Treg cells but inhibits Th17 lymphocytes, and this may be the main immunomdulatory mechanism of Tretinoin in vivo. This study was done to investigate the effects of Tretinoin in outbred white mice after challenge with sheep red blood cells (SRBC). Materials and Methods:...
متن کاملAntimicrobial decapeptide KSL-W attenuates Candida albicans virulence by modulating its effects on Toll-like receptor, human β-defensin, and cytokine expression by engineered human oral mucosa.
We investigated the toxicity of synthetic antimicrobial decapeptide KSL-W on normal human gingival epithelial cell cultures, its effect on Candida albicans adhesion and growth, and the activation of epithelial cell innate immunity. Our results indicate that KSL-W had no toxic effect on cell adhesion or growth, suggesting its safe use with human cells. Pre-treating C. albicans with KSL-W attenua...
