Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Epidermal Growth Factor on the Immature Human Intestine

ABSTRACT: The inflammatory response of preterm infants' intestine underlines its inability to respond to hemodynamic stress, microbes and nutrients. Recent evidence suggests that exogenous epidermal growth factor (EGF) exerts a therapeutic influence on neonatal enteropathies. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of EGF remain to be clarified. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of EGF on the gene expression profiles of the developing human small and large intestine at mid-gestation in serum-free organ cultures using Illumina microarrays. Differential functional effects of EGF along the human fetal intestine [Illumina] Transcriptional profiling of small and large intestinal explants cultured in the absence (control) or in the presence of EGF (50 ng/mL).

Gene expression profile analysis in the mid-gestation human intestine discloses greater immaturity of the colon as compared to ileum

Project description:The occurrence of many neonatal inflammatory intestinal diseases in preterm infants highlights the susceptibility of the immature intestine to respond inadequately to nutrient and microbes. A better understanding of the functional intestinal development is essential for the design of optimal treatments ensuring survival and growth of premature infants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the gene expression profiles of the developing human ileum and colon at mid-gestation. Our results showed that more than 11% of the genes were differentially expressed between ileum and colon. Pathway analysis revealed an even higher level of transcriptional dissimilarity between the developing ileum and the colon including 35% of the significant cellular, molecular and physiological functions and 85% of the canonical pathways. Segment-specific/over-expressed functions in the ileum included a number of amino acid, vitamin and mineral metabolisms and lymphoid tissue structure and development reflecting the high level of maturity of the small intestine as compared to the colon in which cell cycle, cell morphology and actin cytoskeleton, integrin and ERK/MAPK signaling were the predominant functions. All together, functional clustering analysis of the differentially expressed genes revealed important functional difference between the two segments namely to an unexpected relative immaturity of the colon. Two-condition experiment: three human fetal small intestines vs. three human fetal large intestines.

Single Cell Integration Characterises Gastric Cell Metaplasia in Inflammatory Intestinal Diseases

Project description:Unpublished single cell RNAseq data from pan-GI integration study from healthy adult donors (20-70 years old; stomach, duodenum, ileum) and control samples from preterm infants (23-31 PCW; small intestine and colon). Details for sample processing can be found in the manuscript.

Transgenic soybeans expressing human epidermal growth factor

Project description:Each year in the United States, more than 530,000 babies are born prior to full 37 weeks of gestation. One of the major problems associated with prematurity is the development of a condition known as necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). In 50% of infants with NEC a large amount of damaged and dead intestine must be surgically removed, often resulting in death or lifelong health problems. A growing body of experimental and clinical evidence supports a conclusion that deficient quantities of epidermal growth factor (EGF) leads to the development of NEC. The EGF peptide appears to be fundamental for normal intestinal development and repair. Soy-milk containing engineered EGF may be a suitable therapy if given to premature infants to prevent NEC. Human mature EGF is 6 kDa protein with three intramolecular disulfide bonds. To produce EGF a synthetic codon-optimized gene was transferred to soybean by biolistic transformation. The resulting transgenic lines were regenerated into somatic embryos that were screened by PCR and the production of EGF assayed by ELISA. Crude extracts of somatic embryos producing EGF were assessed for bioactivity by induction of phosphorylation of the EGF receptor in HeLa cells that showed soy-produced EGF exhibited the same activity as authentic EGF. T0 transgenic EGF seeds have showed positive ELISA for EGF demonstrating the feasibility to produce a therapeutic soy-milk to mitigate the development of NEC by premature infants. The next stage of this project will test the efficacy of Soy/EGF in an animal model for short bowel syndrome.

Temporal development of necrotizing enterocolitis in the preterm pig

Project description:Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a serious gastrointestinal disease that afflicts 5-10% of preterm infants, often progresses rapidly from mild food intolerance into extensive haemorrhage, inflammation and necrosis. Events leading to NEC have remained poorly defined. Similar disease characteristics are observed in preterm pigs 24-48 h after feeding formula. Using this model, we aimed to characterize the temporal development of NEC, and describe the functional and immunological response of the preterm intestine preceding NEC. Keywords: time course

Metaproteomics on preterm infant stool

Project description:Development of the gut microbiota is greatly impacted in preterm infants. Despite increasing knowledge about microbiota composition in preterm infants, knowledge about the functional signatures of the intestinal microbiota remains limited. The aim was to study transitions in microbiota activity during the first six postnatal weeks in ten preterm infants. A total of 64 stool samples were measured by LC-MS/MS.
