The CFTR associated protein CAP70 interacts with the apical Cl-/HCO3- exchanger DRA in rabbit small intestinal mucosa.

2005

DRA (down regulated in adenoma) is an intestinal anion exchanger, acting in parallel with NHE3 to facilitate ileal and colonic NaCl absorption. Furthermore it is involved in small intestinal bicarbonate secretion. Because DRA has a PDZ interaction motif, which may influence its properties, we searched for DRA-interacting PDZ adapter proteins in the small intestine. Using an overlay assay with the recombinant DRA C-terminus as a ligand, a 70 kDa protein was labeled, which was restricted to the brush border membrane in rabbit duodenal and ileal mucosa and was not detected in the colon. Destruction of the C-terminal PDZ interaction motif abolished this band, suggesting a specific protein-prote…

Verlaufskontrolle des Morbus Crohn: Kann die Hydro-MRT die fraktionierte Magen-Darm-Passage ersetzen?

1997

PURPOSE: To compare the value of hydro-MRI with follow-through examinations in the follow-up of Crohn's disease. METHOD: 22 patients known to be suffering from Crohn's disease were examined via 1.5 T-MR system; an oral contrast examination using 1000 ml of a 2.5% mannitol solution was performed in all patients. T2-weighted TSE sequences and T1-weighted SE sequences were performed before and after the intravenous injection of Gd-DTPA. To reduce movement artifacts caused by peristalsis of the gut, intravenous injection of 40 mg Buscopan was given. The findings of hydro-MRI were compared with the follow-through examinations. RESULTS: In the upper gastrointestinal tract, the follow-through exam…

Characterisation of a Cryptosporidium parvum-specific cDNA clone and detection of parasite DNA in mucosal scrapings of infected mice.

1998

A cDNA library was constructed using total RNA extracted from oocysts and sporozoites of the protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium parvum. The expression library was screened with an anti-C. parvum antiserum and a clone, Cp3.4, with a 2043 bp insert, was extracted. Southern blot analysis demonstrated a single copy gene that was located on a 1.6 Mb chromosome. The gene was found to be C. parvum specific as Cp3.4 did not cross-hybridise with chromosomal DNA from three other apicomplexan parasites. The cDNA encodes a polypeptide with a predicted membrane helix at its C-terminal end which is flanked by stretches of acidic amino acids. Overall, the polypeptide has a low isoelectric point (pI) of 3.…

Intestinal drug efflux: formulation and food effects

2001

The intestine, primarily regarded as an absorptive organ, is also prepared for the elimination of certain organic acids, bases and neutral compounds depending on their affinity to intestinal carrier systems. Several of the transport systems known to mediate efflux in the major clearing organs--liver and kidney--are also expressed in the intestine. Examples of secretory transporters in the intestine are P-glycoprotein, members of the multidrug resistance associated protein family, breast cancer resistance protein, organic cation transporters and members of the organic anion polypeptide family. In this communication, the P-glycoprotein mediated intestinal secretion of talinolol, a model compo…

Transvalvular enteroscopy using a mother-baby endoscope system: a new approach to the distal ileum.

1997

In the past decade various endoscopes have been developed to examine the small bowel, with two principal procedures established: sonde-type enteroscopy and push-type enteroscopy. The main indication is gastrointestinal bleeding of obscure origin. Push-type enteroscopy has proved itselfto be useful for the investigation ofdiseases of the small intestine. 1 The mean instrumental insertion length published by different working groups varied between 50 and 90 cm past the ligament of Trei tzfl 2 The small bowel examination area is limited to the jejunum. The alternative method is sonde-type enteroscopy that allows an insertion length of 140 (30 to 200) cm. 3, 4 Disadvantages of this type of ente…

Dysbiosis and zonulin upregulation alter gut epithelial and vascular barriers in patients with ankylosing spondylitis

2017

BackgroundDysbiosis has been recently demonstrated in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) but its implications in the modulation of intestinal immune responses have never been studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of ileal bacteria in modulating local and systemic immune responses in AS.MethodsIleal biopsies were obtained from 50 HLA-B27+ patients with AS and 20 normal subjects. Silver stain was used to visualise bacteria. Ileal expression of tight and adherens junction proteins was investigated by TaqMan real-time (RT)-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Serum levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), LPS-binding protein (LPS-BP), intestinal fatty acid-BP (iFABP) and zonulin…

Differential expression and glycosylation of proteins in the rat ileal epithelium in response to Echinostoma caproni infection.

2013

Echinostoma caproni (Trematoda: Echinostomatidae) is an intestinal trematode that has been used as experimental model to investigate the factors determining the expulsion of intestinal helminths. We analyze the changes in the protein expression and glycosylation induced by E. caproni in Wistar rat, a host of low compatibility in which the parasites are rapidly rejected. To determine the changes in protein expression, two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis was employed using protein extracts from the intestine of naïve and infected rats. The patterns of glycosylation were analyzed by lectin blotting. Those spots showing differential expression or glycosylation were analyzed by mass s…

Humoral immune response in IL-12 and IFN-gamma deficient mice after infection with Cryptosporidium parvum.

2008

Infection with Cryptosporidium spp. causes diarrhoeal disease and has become an important medical and veterinary problem especially in the immunocompromised host. The importance of the adaptive immune response, with CD4+ T-lymphocytes being the major players, has been clearly demonstrated. The requirement of IL-12 and IFN-gamma identifies this response as a Th1-dominated reaction. IFN-gamma is also important in the early phase of the host-parasite interaction. We analysed the outcome of infection in IL-12p40 (IL-12KO) and IFN-gamma (GKO) deficient C57BL/6 mice after primary and secondary challenge with the parasite and, for the first time, we demonstrate the resulting Ig response in sera an…
