The diet and gut microflora influence the distribution of enteroendocrine cells in the rat intestine
Several functions of the gut are locally influenced by peptides and biogenic amines released from enteroendocrine cells. The aim of the present study was to assess whether the luminal stimulus of diet or microbial flora or diet-microbial interactions have an influence on the distribution of enteroendocrine cells along the crypt-surface axes of the small and large intestine. The effects of diet and indigenous flora were investigated by comparing the numbers of argyrophil and serotonin immunoreactive cells in the jejunum and colon of germ free and conventional rats fed either a purified diet containing fine ingredients or a commercial diet containing crude fibre of cereal origin. The effects of human flora were analysed in germ-free rats inoculated with human faecal organisms. 1. Feeding the commercial diet reduced the number of argyrophil endocrine cells in the jejunum and serotonin immunoreactive cells in the colon of gern-free animals but increased the serotonin immunoreactive cells in the colon of conventional animals. 2. The rat flora increased the serotonin immunoreactive cells in the colon of animals fed a commercial diet and decreased in those fed a purified diet. 3. Inculation of human flora increased the numbers of serotonin immunoreactive cells both in the jejunum and colon. The results provide evidence that the dietary changes and diet-microbial interactions can affect the regional number of enteroendocrine cells. 相似文献

Height is a classic polygenic trait, reflecting the combined influence of multiple as-yet-undiscovered genetic factors. We carried out a meta-analysis of genome-wide association study data of height from 15,821 individuals at 2.2 million SNPs, and followed up the strongest findings in >10,000 subjects. Ten newly identified and two previously reported loci were strongly associated with variation in height (P values from 4 x 10(-7) to 8 x 10(-22)). Together, these 12 loci account for approximately 2% of the population variation in height. Individuals with < or =8 height-increasing alleles and > or =16 height-increasing alleles differ in height by approximately 3.5 cm. The newly identified loci, along with several additional loci with strongly suggestive associations, encompass both strong biological candidates and unexpected genes, and highlight several pathways (let-7 targets, chromatin remodeling proteins and Hedgehog signaling) as important regulators of human stature. These results expand the picture of the biological regulation of human height and of the genetic architecture of this classical complex trait. 相似文献

Cytotoxic (CD8+) and helper (CD4+) T cells play a crucial role in resolving infections by intracellular pathogens. The development of technologies to visualize
antigen-specific T cell responses in mice and men over the past decade has allowed a dissection of the formation of adaptive
T cell immunity. This review gives a brief overview of the currently used detection techniques and possible future additions.
Furthermore, we discuss our current understanding of the formation of antigen-specific T cell responses, with particular attention
to the similarities and differences in CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses, the functional heterogeneity within responder T cell pools and the regulation of CD8+ T cell responses by dendritic cells and CD4+ helper T cells.

Résumé Le charbon noir, administré par injection intraveineuse, s'échappe des vénules synoviales normales, mais pas des vénules de tissus non-réticuloendothéliaux. Cette conclusion vient à l'appui d'autres études qui révélèrent un plus haut degré de perméabilité des vaisseaux synoviaux, qualité peut-être importante pour la localisation, dans l'articulation, de l'agent (ou des agents) qui causent l'arthrite rhumatoïde ou d'autres arthrites inflammatoires. 相似文献

Summary By a change of method to thin-layer chromatography, it was possible to fractionate completely the 17-ketosteroids from urine extract in one run. The chromatography was done in a horizontal manner on plates of 200×550 mm. 相似文献

Activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) by environmental xenobiotic toxic chemicals, for instance 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (dioxin), has been implicated in a variety of cellular processes such as embryogenesis, transformation, tumorigenesis and inflammation. But the identity of an endogenous ligand activating the AHR under physiological conditions in the absence of environmental toxic chemicals is still unknown. Here we identify the tryptophan (Trp) catabolite kynurenine (Kyn) as an endogenous ligand of the human AHR that is constitutively generated by human tumour cells via tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase (TDO), a liver- and neuron-derived Trp-degrading enzyme not yet implicated in cancer biology. TDO-derived Kyn suppresses antitumour immune responses and promotes tumour-cell survival and motility through the AHR in an autocrine/paracrine fashion. The TDO-AHR pathway is active in human brain tumours and is associated with malignant progression and poor survival. Because Kyn is produced during cancer progression and inflammation in the local microenvironment in amounts sufficient for activating the human AHR, these results provide evidence for a previously unidentified pathophysiological function of the AHR with profound implications for cancer and immune biology. 相似文献
