چکیده

Binding of the lipoteichoic acids of Bifidobacterium bifidum to human colonic epithelial cells appeared to be specific, reversible, and cell concentration and time dependent. A single population of approximately 8.3 X 10(8) binding sites per cell was detected, with a dissociation constant of 125 microM. Ester-linked fatty acids are essential for binding.

Soluble uric acid induces inflammation via TLR4/NLRP3 pathway in intestinal epithelial cells

Objective(s): Hyperuricemia is a risk for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, but the mechanism is ambiguous. Increased intestinal permeability is correlated with metabolic syndrome risk factors. Intestinal epithelial cells play a pivotal role in maintaining intestinal permeability. Uric acid is directly eliminated into intestinal lumen, however, the mechanism and e...

Lipoteichoic acid is an important microbe-associated molecular pattern of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG

BACKGROUND Probiotic bacteria are increasingly used as immunomodulatory agents. Yet detailed molecular knowledge on the immunomodulatory molecules of these bacteria is lagging behind. Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is considered a major microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP) of Gram-positive bacteria. However, many details and quantitative data on its immune signalling capacity are still unknown,...

Lipoteichoic Acid of Probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum Attenuates Poly I:C-Induced IL-8 Production in Porcine Intestinal Epithelial Cells

Probiotics in livestock feed supplements are considered a replacement for antibiotics that enhance gastrointestinal immunity. Although bacterial cell wall components have been proposed to be associated with probiotic function, little evidence demonstrates that they are responsible for probiotic functions in livestock. The present study demonstrated that lipoteichoic acid (LTA) of Lactobacillus ...

Bifidobacterium breve reduces apoptotic epithelial cell shedding in an exopolysaccharide and MyD88-dependent manner

Certain members of the microbiota genus Bifidobacterium are known to positively influence host well-being. Importantly, reduced bifidobacterial levels are associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, who also have impaired epithelial barrier function, including elevated rates of apoptotic extrusion of small intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) from villi-a process termed 'cell shedd...

Adherence of group A streptococci to fibronectin on oral epithelial cells.

The possibility that fibronectin on the surface of oropharyngeal cells may serve as a receptor for the binding of group A streptococci (Streptococcus pyogenes) was investigated. Purified human plasma fibronectin inhibited the adherence of group A streptococci to oral epithelial cells in a dose-dependent manner. The relative amounts of fibronectin available on oral epithelial cells correlated cl...
