Abstract
BACKGROUND Mastitis is an inflammatory response in the mammary gland that results in huge economic losses in the breeding industry. The aetiology of mastitis is complex, and the pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. It is commonly believed that mastitis is induced by pathogen infection of the mammary gland and induces a local inflammatory response. However, in the clinic, mastitis is often comorbid or secondary to gastric disease, and local control effects targeting the mammary gland are limited. In addition, recent studies have found that the gut/rumen microbiota contributes to the development of mastitis and proposed the gut/rumen-mammary gland axis. Combined with studies indicating that gut/rumen microbiota disturbance can damage the gut mucosa barrier, gut/rumen bacteria and their metabolites can migrate to distal extraintestinal organs. It is believed that the occurrence of mastitis is related not only to the infection of the mammary gland by external pathogenic microorganisms but also to a gastroenterogennic pathogenic pathway. AIM OF REVIEW We propose the pathological concept of "gastroenterogennic mastitis" and believe that the gut/rumen-mammary gland axis-mediated pathway is the pathological mechanism of "gastroenterogennic mastitis". KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW To clarify the concept of "gastroenterogennic mastitis" by summarizing reports on the effect of the gut/rumen microbiota on mastitis and the gut/rumen-mammary gland axis-mediated pathway to provide a research basis and direction for further understanding and solving the pathogenesis and difficulties encountered in the prevention of mastitis.

Update on the Pathogenesis of the Hirschsprung-Associated Enterocolitis. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24054602. [PMID: 36902033 PMCID: PMC10003052 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24054602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Despite the significant progress that has been made in terms of understanding the pathophysiology and risk factors of Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC), the morbidity rate has remained unsatisfactorily stable, and clinical management of the condition continues to be challenging. Therefore, in the present literature review, we summarized the up-to-date advances that have been made regarding basic research on the pathogenesis of HAEC. Original articles published between August 2013 and October 2022 were searched in a number of databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. The keywords "Hirschsprung enterocolitis", "Hirschsprung's enterocolitis", "Hirschsprung's-associated enterocolitis", and "Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis" were selected and reviewed. A total of 50 eligible articles were obtained. The latest findings of these research articles were grouped into gene, microbiome, barrier function, enteric nervous system, and immune state categories. The present review concludes that HAEC is shown to be a multifactorial clinical syndrome. Only deep insights into this syndrome, with an accrual of knowledge in terms of understanding its pathogenesis, will elicit the necessary changes that are required for managing this disease.

Abstract
The enteric nervous system (ENS) is an extensive network of neurons and glia within the wall of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that regulates many essential GI functions. Consequently, disorders of the ENS due to developmental defects, inflammation, infection, or age-associated neurodegeneration lead to serious neurointestinal diseases. Despite the prevalence and severity of these diseases, effective treatments are lacking as they fail to directly address the underlying pathology. Neuronal stem cell therapy represents a promising approach to treating diseases of the ENS by replacing the absent or injured neurons, and an autologous source of stem cells would be optimal by obviating the need for immunosuppression. We utilized the swine model to address key questions concerning cell isolation, delivery, engraftment, and fate in a large animal relevant to human therapy. We successfully isolated neural stem cells from a segment of small intestine resected from 1-month-old swine. Enteric neuronal stem cells (ENSCs) were expanded as neurospheres that grew optimally in low-oxygen (5%) culture conditions. Enteric neuronal stem cells were labeled by lentiviral green fluorescent protein (GFP) transduction, then transplanted into the same swine from which they had been harvested. Endoscopic ultrasound was then utilized to deliver the ENSCs (10,000-30,000 neurospheres per animal) into the rectal wall. At 10 and 28 days following injection, autologously derived ENSCs were found to have engrafted within rectal wall, with neuroglial differentiation and no evidence of ectopic spreading. These findings strongly support the feasibility of autologous cell isolation and delivery using a clinically useful and minimally invasive technique, bringing us closer to first-in-human ENSC therapy for neurointestinal diseases.

Abstract
Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a congenital disease that is characterized by the absence of intrinsic ganglion cells in the submucosal and myenteric plexuses of the distal colon and is the most common cause of congenital intestinal obstruction. Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) is a life-threatening complication of HSCR, which can occur either before or after surgical resection of the aganglionic bowel. Even though HAEC is a leading cause of death in HSCR patients, its etiology and pathophysiology remain poorly understood. Various factors have been associated with HAEC, including the mucus barrier, microbiota, immune function, obstruction of the colon, and genetic variations. In this review, we examine our current mouse model of HAEC and how it informs our understanding of the disease. We also describe current emerging research that highlights the potential future of HAEC treatment.

Abstract
Perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND) is a common surgery outcome affecting up to a third of the elderly patients, and it is associated with high morbidity and increased risk for Alzheimer's disease development. PND is characterized by cognitive impairment that can manifest acutely in the form of postoperative delirium (POD) or after hospital discharge as postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Although POD and POCD are clinically distinct, their development seems to be mediated by a systemic inflammatory reaction triggered by surgical trauma that leads to dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier and facilitates the occurrence of neuroinflammation. Recent studies have suggested that the gut microbiota composition may play a pivotal role in the PND development by modulating the risk of neuroinflammation establishment. In fact, modulation of gut microbiome composition with pre- and probiotics seems to be effective for the prevention and treatment of PND in animals. Interestingly, general anesthetics seem to have major responsibility on the gut microbiota composition changes following surgery and, consequently, can be an important element in the process of PND initiation. This concept represents an important milestone for the understanding of PND pathogenesis and may unveil new opportunities for the development of preventive or mitigatory strategies against the development of these conditions. The aim of this review is to discuss how anesthetics used in general anesthesia can interact and alter the gut microbiome composition and contribute to PND development by favoring the emergence of neuroinflammation.

Cholinergic Signaling Attenuates Pro-Inflammatory Interleukin-8 Response in Colonic Epithelial Cells. Front Immunol 2022; 12:781147.

Abstract
Infants affected by Hirschsprung disease (HSCR), a neurodevelopmental congenital disorder, lack ganglia of the intrinsic enteric nervous system (aganglionosis) in a variable length of the colon, and are prone to developing severe Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC). HSCR patients typically show abnormal dense innervation of extrinsic cholinergic nerve fibers throughout the aganglionic rectosigmoid. Cholinergic signaling has been reported to reduce inflammatory response. Consequently, a sparse extrinsic cholinergic innervation in the mucosa of the rectosigmoid correlates with increased inflammatory immune cell frequencies and higher incidence of HAEC in HSCR patients. However, whether cholinergic signals influence the pro-inflammatory immune response of intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) is unknown. Here, we analyzed colonic IEC isolated from 43 HSCR patients with either a low or high mucosal cholinergic innervation density (fiber-low versus fiber-high) as well as from control tissue. Compared to fiber-high samples, IEC purified from fiber-low rectosigmoid expressed significantly higher levels of IL-8 but not TNF-α, IL-10, TGF-β1, Muc-2 or tight junction proteins. IEC from fiber-low rectosigmoid showed higher IL-8 protein concentrations in cell lysates as well as prominent IL-8 immunoreactivity compared to IEC from fiber-high tissue. Using the human colonic IEC cell line SW480 we demonstrated that cholinergic signals suppress lipopolysaccharide-induced IL-8 secretion via the alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (a7nAChR). In conclusion, we showed for the first time that the presence of a dense mucosal cholinergic innervation is associated with decreased secretion of IEC-derived pro-inflammatory IL-8 in the rectosigmoid of HSCR patients likely dependent on a7nAChR activation. Owing to the association between IL-8 and enterocolitis-prone, fiber-low HSCR patients, targeted therapies against IL-8 might be a promising immunotherapy candidate for HAEC treatment.

Abstract
Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) is a common life-threatening complication of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). It has been proposed that gut microbiota, which have an essential role in gut-homeostasis, are associated with HAEC. Recent studies demonstrated an increase in alpha diversity of fecal microbiota over time in HSCR mice and a decrease in diversity after surgery. In addition, clinical studies have reported a reduction in bacterial richness in HSCR children after surgery. Some studies revealed a difference in microbiota between the proximal ganglionic and distal aganglionic intestine and found a difference in bacterial character between fecal and colonic specimens. HAEC studies found an increase in Proteobacteria, especially Escherichia and Enterobacteriaceae, with a decrease in Firmicutes and Bifidobacterium in HAEC patients. However, the direction of alpha diversity in HAEC patients is still controversial. The self-comparison of microbiota in treatment periods suggested that probiotics might improve gut dysbiosis and decrease the frequency of enterocolitis, but some reported contradictory findings. This review comprehensively summarizes and discusses key findings from animal and clinical data of the distinct microbiome associated with HCSR and the association of gut dysbiosis with the development of HAEC. This information should be useful in the establishment of novel interventions to improve gut dysbiosis and prevent enterocolitis in HSCR patients.
