评估死亡率,上皮屏障完整性,细菌负担和毒素水平.
在体内和体外从CD4+ T辅助细胞中量化IL-22的产生.
在人类CDI患者和健康对照中分析了血清PGRN和IL-22水平.

主要成果:

与WT小鼠相比,PGRN缺乏的小鼠在CDI期间表现出明显更高的死亡率和严重的上皮屏障破坏.
PGRN 缺乏导致结肠产生IL-22的CD4+ T辅助细胞减少.
活体外PGRN的使用增加了CD4+ T辅助细胞的IL-22产生.
CDI患者的血清PGRN水平升高与IL-22正相关,与健康对照不同.

结论:

进子素 (PGRN) 通过促进CD4+ T细胞的IL-22产生,在CDI中发挥关键的保护作用.
这种PGRN介导的免疫反应对于保持肠道屏障完整性和减少CDI严重性至关重要.

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells

The intestinal epithelial lining rapidly renews every 4 to 5 days. The renewal is facilitated by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) located at the base of the crypt– a gland located at the bottom of each villus. ISCs divide asymmetrically to form new stem cells and progenitor daughter cells. The daughter cells are called transit-amplifying (TA) cells which move upwards along the crypt and either differentiate into absorptive cells– the enterocytes or secretory cells– including the...

T Cell Types and Functions

T Cell Types and Functions

When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.
Th1 cells stimulate dendritic cells to express necessary co-stimulatory molecules on their surfaces for...

Differentiation of Common Myeloid Progenitor Cells

Differentiation of Common Myeloid Progenitor Cells

Common myeloid progenitors (CMPs) are oligopotent cells that can differentiate into granulocytes and macrophages. Granulocytes and macrophages are essential for protecting the body against bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. They migrate from the bone marrow into the circulating blood to reach specific tissue sites where they differentiate and help in immune surveillance. However, they survive only for a few days and must be continuously made available to the organism to maintain a robust...
