[PMID: 31717851 PMCID: PMC6912625 DOI: 10.3390/ani9110870] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2019] [Revised: 10/16/2019] [Accepted: 10/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The small intestine plays an important role for animals to digest and absorb nutrients. The epithelial lining of the intestine develops from the embryonic endoderm of the embryo. The mature intestinal epithelium is composed of different types of functional epithelial cells that are derived from stem cells, which are located in the crypts. Chickens have been widely used as an animal model for researching vertebrate embryonic development. However, little is known about the molecular basis of development and differentiation within the chicken small intestinal epithelium. This review introduces processes of development and growth in the chicken gut, and compares the cellular characteristics and signaling pathways between chicken and mammals, including Notch and Wnt signaling that control the differentiation in the small intestinal epithelium. There is evidence that the chicken intestinal epithelium has a distinct cellular architecture and proliferation zone compared to mammals. The establishment of an in vitro cell culture model for chickens will provide a novel tool to explore molecular regulation of the chicken intestinal development and differentiation.

Enteroendocrine profile of α-transducin and α-gustducin immunoreactive cells in the chicken (Gallus domesticus) gastrointestinal tract. Poult Sci 2018; 97:4063-4072. [PMID: 29955800 PMCID: PMC6162362 DOI: 10.3382/ps/pey279] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2018] [Accepted: 06/12/2018] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The enteroendocrine profile and distribution patterns of the taste signaling molecules, α-gustducin (Gαgust) and α-transducin (Gαtran) protein subunits, were studied in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of the chicken (Gallus domesticus) using double labeling immunohistochemistry. Gαtran or Gαgust immunoreactivity was observed in enteroendocrine cells (EEC) expressing different peptides throughout the entire GI tract with different density. In the proventriculus tubular gland, Gαtran or Gαgust/gastrin (GAS) immunoreactive (-IR) cells were more abundant than Gαtran/or Gαgust containing glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) or peptide YY (PYY), whereas only few Gαtran or Gαgust cells co-stored ghrelin (GHR) or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). In the pyloric mucosa, many Gαtran or Gαgust-IR cells co-expressed GAS or GHR, with less Gαtran or Gαgust cells containing GLP-1, PYY, or 5-HT. In the small intestine, a considerable subset of Gαtran or Gαgust-IR cells co-expressed 5-HT in the villi of the duodenum and ileum, PYY in the villi of the jejunum, CCK or GLP-1 in the villi of the ileum, and GHR in the duodenum crypts. In the large intestine, many Gαtran or Gαgust-IR cells contained 5-HT or GLP-1 in the villi of the rectum, whereas some Gαtran/Gαgust-IR cells co-expressed PYY- or CCK-, and few Gαtran/Gαgust-IR cells were positive for GHR-IR. In the cecum, several Gαtran or Gαgust-IR cells were IR for 5-HT. Finally, many Gαtran/Gαgust cells containing 5-HT were observed in the villi and crypts of the cloaca, whereas there were few Gαtran or Gαgust/CCK-IR cells. The demonstration that Gα-subunits are expressed in the chicken GI enteroendocrine system supports the involvement of taste signaling machinery in the chicken chemosensing processes.

GLP-1 Localisation and Proglucagon Gene Expression in Healthy and Diabetic Mouse Ileum. J Vet Res 2018; 62:237-242. [PMID: 30364894 PMCID: PMC6200298 DOI: 10.2478/jvetres-2018-0033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2018] [Accepted: 06/22/2018] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a polypeptide that is mainly produced by intestinal L cells and is encoded by the proglucagon gene. In this study, GLP-1 localisation was investigated in the ileum of healthy and diabetic mice by immunohistochemistry and proglucagon gene expression was assayed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Material and Methods This study included 18 male Balb/c mice that were divided into diabetic, sham, and control groups. Mice in the diabetic group received 100 mg/kg of streptozotocin. Immunohistochemical expression of GLP-1 was determined using the avidin–biotin–peroxidase complex technique, and proglucagon gene expression was determined by RT-PCR. Results Analysis of GLP-1 immunohistochemical localisation showed that GLP-1-immunopositive cells (L cells) were present between epithelial cells in the intestinal crypts. The intensity and localisation of GLP-1 immunoreactivity were similar among the mice in all the groups. Proglucagon gene expression levels were also statistically similar among the mice in all the groups. Conclusion No difference was demonstrated among the mice in the diabetic, sham, or control groups with respect to proglucagon gene expression and GLP-1 localisation in the ileum, suggesting that diabetes does not affect proglucagon gene expression in the ileum.

Abstract
The expression and distribution patterns of the taste signaling molecules, α-gustducin (Gαgust) and α-transducin (Gαtran) G-protein subunits, were studied in the gastrointestinal tract of the chicken (Gallus domesticus) using the immunohistochemical method. Gαgust and Gαtran immunoreactive (-IR) cells were observed in the mucosal layer of all examined segments, except the esophagus, crop, and the saccus cranialis of the gizzard. The highest numbers of Gαgust and Gαtran-IR cells were found in the proventriculus glands and along the villi of the pyloric, duodenum, and rectal mucosa. Gαgust and Gαtran-IR cells located in the villi of the jejunum, ileum, and cloaca were much less numerous, while only a few Gαgust and Gαtran-IR cells were detected in the mucosa of the proventriculus and cecum. In the crypts, IR cells were observed in the small and large intestine as well as in the cloaca. Gαgust and Gαtran-IR cells displayed elongated ("bottle-" or "pear-like") or rounded shape. The demonstration of Gαgust and Gαtran expression provides evidence for taste receptor mediated mucosal chemosensitivity in the chicken gastrointestinal tract.

Oral delivery of Lactococcus lactis that secretes bioactive heme oxygenase-1 alleviates development of acute colitis in mice. Microb Cell Fact 2015; 14:189. [PMID: 26608030 PMCID: PMC4658813 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-015-0378-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 49] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2015] [Accepted: 11/06/2015] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mucosal delivery of therapeutic proteins using genetically modified strains of lactic acid bacteria (gmLAB) is being investigated as a new therapeutic strategy. METHODS We developed a strain of gmLAB, Lactococcus lactis NZ9000 (NZ-HO), which secretes the anti-inflammatory molecule recombinant mouse heme oxygenase-1 (rmHO-1). The effects of short-term continuous oral dosing with NZ-HO were evaluated in mice with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced acute colitis as a model of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). RESULTS We identified the secretion of rmHO-1 by NZ-HO. rmHO-1 was biologically active as determined with spectroscopy. Viable NZ-HO was directly delivered to the colon via oral administration, and rmHO-1 was secreted onto the colonic mucosa in mice. Acute colitis in mice was induced by free drinking of 3 % DSS in water and was accompanied by an increase in the disease activity index score and histopathological changes. Daily oral administration of NZ-HO significantly improved these colitis-associated symptoms. In addition, NZ-HO significantly increased production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-10 and decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1α and IL-6 in the colon compared to a vector control strain. CONCLUSIONS Oral administration of NZ-HO alleviates DSS-induced acute colitis in mice. Our results suggest that NZ-HO may be a useful mucosal therapeutic agent for treating IBD.
