Shibata M, Takahashi T, Kozakai T, Shindo J, Kurose Y. Development of active jejunal glucose absorption in broiler chickens. Poult Sci 2023; 102:102804. [PMID: 37321034 PMCID: PMC10404788 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2023.102804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Growth in chickens, especially meat-type chickens (broilers), is extremely rapid, but studies on the regulatory mechanism of intestinal glucose absorption with growth are few, contradictory, and unclear. Here, we investigated the regulation of intestinal glucose absorption with growth in broiler chickens using oral glucose gavage, intestinal Evans blue transit, intestinal glucose absorption, scanning electron microscopy, and glucose absorption- and cell junction-related gene expression analyses. Peak blood glucose levels after oral glucose gavage occurred at 10 and 50 min in chickens at 1 wk (C1W) and 5 wk (C5W) of age, respectively. The area under the curve for glucose levels was greater for the C5W than the C1W (P = 0.035). The stain ratio in the small intestine in the C5W was lower than that in the C1W (P = 0.01), but there were no differences in the tissue regions stained with Evans blue and the migration distance of Evans blue from Meckel's diverticulum. In everted sac and Ussing chamber experiments, we observed reduced intestinal glucose uptake and electrogenic glucose absorption in the jejunum of the C5W. Phloridzin, an inhibitor of sodium/glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1), suppressed the glucose-induced short-circuit current in the C1W (P = 0.016) but not the C5W. Although the addition of NaCl solution stimulated the glucose-induced short-circuit current in the C1W, no differences between the treatments were observed (P = 0.056), which was also the case in the C5W. Additionally, tissue conductance was diminished in the C5W compared with that in the C1W. Moreover, in the C5W, the intestinal tract was more developed and the jejunal villi were enlarged. In conclusion, glucose absorption throughout the intestine could be greater in C5W than in C1W; however, reduced SGLT1 sensitivity, decreased ion permeability, and intestinal overdevelopment lead to decreased local glucose absorption in the jejunum with growth in broiler chickens. These data provide a detailed analysis of intestinal glucose absorption in growing broiler chickens, and can contribute to the development of novel feeds.

Regulatory mechanisms of glucose absorption in the mouse proximal small intestine during fasting and feeding. Sci Rep 2023; 13:10838.

Abstract
Fasting is known to alter the function of various organs and the mechanisms of glucose metabolism, which affect health outcomes and slow aging. However, it remains unclear how fasting and feeding affects glucose absorption function in the small intestine. We studied the effects of the fasting and feeding on glucose-induced short-circuit current (Isc) in vitro using an Ussing chamber technique. Glucose-induced Isc by SGLT1 was observed in the ileum, but little or no Isc was observed in the jejunum in ad libitum-fed mice. However, in mice fasted for 24-48 h, in addition to the ileum, robust glucose-induced Isc was observed over time in the jejunum. The expression of SGLT1 in the brush border membranes was significantly decreased in the jejunum under fed conditions compared to 48 h fasting, as analyzed by western blotting. Additionally, when mice were fed a 60% high glucose diet for 3 days, the increase in glucose-induced Isc was observed only in the ileum, and totally suppressed in the jejunum. An increase in Na+ permeability between epithelial cells was concomitantly observed in the jejunum of fasted mice. Transepithelial glucose flux was assessed using a non-metabolizable glucose analog, 14C-methyl α-D-glucopyranoside glucose (MGP). Regardless of whether fed or fasted, no glucose diffusion mechanism was observed. Fasting increased the SGLT1-mediated MGP flux in the jejunum. In conclusion, segment-dependent up- and down-regulation mechanisms during fasting and feeding are important for efficient glucose absorption once the fast is broken. Additionally, these mechanisms may play a crucial role in the small intestine's ability to autoregulate glucose absorption, preventing acute hyperglycemia when large amounts of glucose are ingested.

Abstract
The large intestine plays a pivotal role in water and electrolyte balance. Paracellular transport may play a role in ion transport mechanisms in the cecum and large intestine; however, these molecular mechanisms and their physiological roles have not been fully studied. Claudin-15 forms a cation channel in tight junctions in the small intestine, but its role in the cecum and large intestine has not been investigated. This study aimed to explore the physiological role of claudin-15 in the cecum and large intestine using claudin-15 (Cldn15) KO mice. Electrical conductance, short-circuit current, Na+ flux, and dilution potential were assessed in isolated tissue preparations mounted in Ussing chambers. The induced short-circuit current of short-chain fatty acids, which are fermentative products in the intestinal tract, was also measured. Compared to wild type mice, the electrical conductance and paracellular Na+ flux was decreased in the cecum, but not the middle large intestine, while in both the cecum and the middle large intestine, paracellular Na+ permeability was decreased in Cldn15 KO mice. These results suggest that claudin-15 is responsible for Na+ permeability in the tight junctions of the cecum and large intestine and decreased Na+ permeability in the cecum may cause impaired absorption function.

Twenty-Four-Hour Urinary Sodium Excretion Predicts Therapeutic Effectiveness of Oral Rehydration Saline in Pediatric Vasovagal Syncope. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 9:children9070992. [PMID: 35883976 PMCID: PMC9321383 DOI: 10.3390/children9070992] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
The study was designed to explore whether 24-hour urinary sodium excretion could predict the therapeutic effectiveness of oral rehydration saline in pediatric cases of vasovagal syncope. Eighty children suffering from vasovagal syncope with oral rehydration saline treatment in Department of Pediatrics, Peking University First Hospital, China, were recruited into the study. They were followed up for 3 (2, 3) months after treatment. Pre-treatment demographic, clinical, head-up tilt test-based hemodynamic and laboratory variables were compared between responders and non-responders. After univariate analysis, variables with p value < 0.05 in the comparison between responders and non-responders were further analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was conducted to assess the value in predicting effectiveness of oral rehydration saline treatment. The results showed that 33 cases were responders, and 47 were non-responders. Blood sodium (138 ± 2 mmol/L vs. 139 ± 2 mmol/L, p < 0.05) and pre-treatment 24-hour urinary sodium excretion (74 ± 29 mmol/24 h vs. 109 (93, 141) mmol/24 h, p < 0.001) were lower in responders than in non-responders. The baseline 24-hour urinary sodium excretion was positively correlated to the duration from tilting to the positive response appearance in head-up tilt test (r = 0.289, p < 0.01). The cut-off value of baseline 24-hour urinary sodium excretion of the therapeutic effectiveness of oral rehydration saline on vasovagal syncope cases was 83 mmol/24 h, yielding a sensitivity of 87% and a specificity of 73% with AUC of 0.842 (p < 0.001). In conclusion, 24-hour urinary sodium excretion could be a useful biomarker to predict the therapeutic response to oral rehydration saline in pediatric cases of vasovagal syncope.

Abstract
Intestinal epithelial barrier protects intestine from infection and injury, while chronic inflammation is a trigger for tumorigenesis. As a member of tight junctions (TJs) family, Claudin-7 (Cldn-7) is dedicated to maintaining cell polarity and TJs barrier integrity, and closely related to the development of inflammation and tumors. However, potential roles of Cldn-7 in intestinal inflammation and colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) have not been well characterized in vivo. Here, we analyzed the expression profile of Cldn-7 in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and CAC. Colitis and colitis-cancer transformation models were established based on inducible intestinal conditional Cldn-7 gene knockout mice (Cldn7fl/fl;villin-CreERT2), by intraperitoneal injection of azomethane (AOM) and dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) feeding. Cldn-7 knockout promoted susceptibility to colitis and CAC, aggravated clinical symptoms, severely damaged intestinal epithelium, increased mucosal inflammation accompanied dysregulated cell proliferation-apoptosis. Epithelial barrier integrity was destroyed, and intercellular permeability was increased. After AOM/DSS induction, tumor burden and volume were increased, characterized by enhanced proliferation and activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Mechanistically, Cldn-7 deficiency promoted colitis and subsequently malignant transformation by destroying TJs integrity and increasing inflammatory cascade. Overall, based on Cldn-7 knockout mouse model, we have first demonstrated the key roles of Cldn-7 in maintaining intestinal homeostasis and preventing IBD and consequent CAC.
