Using Fluorescence-Mediated Tomography to Assess Murine Intestinal Inflammation04:06

Using Fluorescence-Mediated Tomography to Assess Murine Intestinal Inflammation

523
This video demonstrates a technique for assessing intestinal macrophage infiltration in a murine model of colitis using fluorescence-mediated tomography (FMT). Upon inducing colitis in a mouse via dextran sodium sulfate (DSS), the animal is injected with antibodies that recognize the F4/80 glycoprotein marker on infiltrated macrophages in the colon. The mouse is then imaged in an FMT device where the fluorescence and reflectance signals are reconstructed into a three-dimensional image to...

Analyzing Beneficial Effects of Nutritional Supplements on Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Functions During Experimental Colitis

12.8K
Current treatments of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) aim at alleviating disease symptoms but may cause severe side effects. Thus, alternative strategies are being investigated in animal colitis models. Here, we explain how the beneficial effects of diet supplements on clinical IBD signs are analyzed in such a colitis...

We describe a protocol detailing the isolation of murine colonic crypts for the development of 3-dimensional colonoids. The established colonoids can then be terminally differentiated to reflect the cellular composition of the host epithelium prior to receiving an inflammatory challenge or being directed to establish an epithelial...

The Roles of Bacteria and Fungi in Plant Nutrition

47.0K
Plants have the impressive ability to create their own food through photosynthesis. However, plants often require assistance from organisms in the soil to acquire the nutrients they need to function correctly. Both bacteria and fungi have evolved symbiotic relationships with plants that help the species to thrive in a wide variety of environments.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Nutrition Science
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Diet is a critical environmental factor influencing overall health, disease development, and the gut microenvironment.
  • The gut microbiome, barrier function, and host immunity are all modulated by dietary intake.
  • Intestinal inflammation, particularly in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), is significantly affected by nutrition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current data on food components regulating intestinal inflammation.
  • To focus on the role of specific nutrients in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).
  • To explore nutrition's potential as both a cause and treatment for IBD.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current scientific understanding.
  • Identification and summary of food components with anti-inflammatory properties in the intestine.
  • Analysis of the impact of nutrition on gut health and immune function.

Main Results:

  • Exclusive enteral nutrition is effective in inducing remission for Crohn's disease in children and adults.
  • Several food components, including vitamin D, butyrate, resveratrol, and curcumin, exhibit anti-inflammatory effects on the intestine.
  • These identified food components may serve as adjunctive therapies for IBD.

Conclusions:

  • Nutrition plays a pivotal role in managing intestinal inflammation and IBD.
  • Specific food components offer promising therapeutic potential as adjuncts to conventional treatments.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the complex interactions between diet, the gut, and disease pathogenesis for improved therapeutic strategies.
