Commensal bacteria and expression of two major intestinal chemokines, TECK/CCL25 and MEC/CCL28, and their receptors
Download2007
Gerdts, Volker, Meurens, Francois, Willing, Benjamin P., Berri, Mustapha, Siggers, Richard H., Van Kessel, Andrew G., Salmon, Henri
Background CCL25/TECK and CCL28/MEC are CC chemokines primarily expressed in thymic dendritic cells and mucosal epithelial cells. Their receptors, CCR9 and CCR10, are mainly expressed on T and B lymphocytes. In human, mouse, pig and sheep CCL25 and CCL28 play an important role in the segregation...

Effect of providing a formula supplemented with long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids on immunity in full term neonates
Download2008
Robinson, Lindsay E., Field, Catherine J., Clandinin, M. Thomas, van Aerde, John E.
To determine the effect of feeding formula containing long-chain PUFA (LCP) on immune function, healthy term infants were randomised at age 2 weeks to either a standard term formula (Formula; n 14) or the same formula supplemented with the LCP 20 : 4n-6 and 22 : 6n-3 (Formula+LCP; n 16)....

Feeding long chain (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids to obese leptin receptor deficient JCR:LA-cp rats modifies immune function and lipid raft fatty acid composition
Download2009
Ruth, Megan R., Field, Catherine J., Proctor, Spencer D.
Dietary EPA and DHA modulate immunity and thereby may improve the aberrant immune function in obese states. To determine the effects of feeding fish oil (FO) containing EPA and DHA on splenocyte phospholipid (PL) and lipid-raft fatty acid composition, phenotypes and cytokine production,...

Vaccenic and elaidic acid modify plasma and splenocyte membrane phospholipids and mitogen-stimulated cytokine production in obese insulin resistant JCR:LA-cp rats

Ruth, Megan R., Reaney, Martin J., Vine, Donna F., Goruk, Susan, Yu, Howe-Ming, Field, Catherine J., Proctor, Spencer D., Wang, Ye
This study assessed the long-term effects of dietary vaccenic acid (VA) and elaidic acid (EA) on plasma and splenocyte phospholipid (PL) composition and related changes in inflammation and splenocyte phenotypes and cytokine responses in obese/insulin resistant JCR:LA-cp rats. Relative to lean...

Chronic systemic inflammatory conditions, such as atherosclerosis, diabetes and obesity are associated with increased risk of stroke, which suggests that systemic inflammation may contribute to the development of stroke in humans. The hypothesis that systemic inflammation may induce brain...

Altered microRNA expression in bovine subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues from cattle under different diet
Download2012
Guan, Leluo, Romao, Josue M., McAllister, Tim, He, Maolong, Jin, Weiwu
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of molecular regulators found to participate in numerous biological processes, including adipogenesis in mammals. This study aimed to evaluate the differences of miRNA expression between bovine subcutaneous (backfat) and visceral fat depots (perirenal...

Understanding postprandial inflammation and its relationship to lifestyle behaviour and metabolic diseases
Download2012
Cabezas, Manuel C., Mamo, John C., Proctor, Spencer D., Botham, Kathleen M., Klop, Boudewijn
Postprandial hyperlipidemia with accumulation of remnant lipoproteins is a common metabolic disturbance associated with atherosclerosis and vascular dysfunction, particularly during chronic disease states such as obesity, the metabolic syndrome and, diabetes. Remnant lipoproteins become attached...

Wan, Zhongxiao, MacDonald, Tara, Wright, David C., Holloway, Graham P., Chan, Catherine B., Perry, Christopher G.
Background Adipose tissue mitochondria have been implicated as key mediators of systemic metabolism. We have shown that IL-6 activates AMPK, a mediator of mitochondrial biogenesis, in adipose tissue; however, IL-6−/− mice fed a high fat diet have been reported to develop insulin resistance. These...

Neutrophil elastase alters the murine gut mirobiota resulting in enhanced Salmonella colonization
Download2012
Hartmann, Martin, Sekirov, Inna, Finlay, B. Brett, Al-Zahrani, Fatimah, Willing, Benjamin P., Ferreira, Rosana B. R., Gill, Navkiran, Antunes, L. Caetano M.
The intestinal microbiota has been found to play a central role in the colonization of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, we present a novel process through which Salmonella benefit from inflammatory induced changes in the microbiota in order to...

A characterization of inflammatory and structural markers within the rumen epithelium during grain-induced ruminal acidosis in lactating dairy cattle
Download2012
Steele, Michael A., Plaizier, Jan C., AlZahal, Ousama, Dionissopoulos, Louis, McBride, Brian W.
The objective of this study was to characterize the mRNA and protein expression of inflammatory and structural genes in the rumen epithelium during grain-induced ruminal acidosis in lactating dairy cattle. A total of 16 rumen-fistulated, lactating Holstein dairy cattle (618±35 kg of body weight,...
