The oligosaccharides 6'-sialyllactose, 2'-fucosyllactose or galactooligosaccharides do not directly modulate human dendritic cell differentiation or maturation.

ABSTRACT: Breast milk plays an important role in immune development in early life and protects against diseases later in life. A wide range of the beneficial effects of breast milk are attributed to human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) as well as components such as vitamin D3 (VitD3) or TGF?. One mechanism by which HMOs might contribute to immune homeostasis and protection against disease is the induction of a local tolerogenic milieu. In this study we investigated the effect of the HMOs 6'-sialyllactose (6'SL) and 2'-fucosyllactose (2'FL) as well as prebiotic galactooligosaccharides (GOS) on DC differentiation and maturation. Isolated CD14+ monocytes were cultured for six days in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4 with or without 6'SL, 2'FL, GOS, VitD3 or TGF?. Additionally, immature VitD3DC, TGF?DC and moDC were used as different DC types to investigate the effect of 6'SL, 2'FL and GOS on DC maturation. Surface marker expression and cytokine production was measured by flow cytometry and cytometric bead array, respectively. Unlike TGF? and vitD3, the oligosaccharides 6'SL, 2'FL and GOS did not influence DC differentiation. Next, we studied the effect of 6'SL, 2'FL and GOS on maturation of moDC, VitD3DC and TGF?DC that showed different profiles of HMO-binding receptors. 6'SL, 2'FL and GOS did not modulate LPS-induced maturation, even though their putative receptors were present on the different DCs types. Thus, whereas VitD3 and TGF? halt DC differentiation, which results in phenotypically distinct tolerogenic DCs, 6'SL, 2'FL and GOS do not alter DC differentiation or maturation of in vitro differentiated DC types.

Breast milk plays an important role in immune development in early life and protects against diseases later in life. A wide range of the beneficial effects of breast milk are attributed to human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) as well as components such as vitamin D3 (VitD3) or TGFβ. One mechanism by which HMOs might contribute to immune homeostasis and protection against disease is the induction of a local tolerogenic milieu.

Project description:BackgroundNecrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) develops through exaggerated toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling in the intestinal epithelium. Breast milk is rich in non-digestible oligosaccharides and prevents NEC through unclear mechanisms. We now hypothesize that the human milk oligosaccharides 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) and 6'-sialyllactose (6'-SL) can reduce NEC through inhibition of TLR4 signaling.MethodsNEC was induced in newborn mice and premature piglets and infant formula was supplemented with 2'-FL, 6'-SL, or lactose. Intestinal tissue was obtained at surgical resection. HMO inhibition of TLR4 was assessed in IEC-6 enterocytes, mice, and human tissue explants and via in silico modeling.ResultsSupplementation of infant formula with either 2'-FL and/or 6'-SL, but not the parent sugar lactose, reduced NEC in mice and piglets via reduced apoptosis, inflammation, weight loss, and histological appearance. Mechanistically, both 2'-FL and 6'-SL, but not lactose, reduced TLR4-mediated nuclear factor kappa light-chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kB) inflammatory signaling in the mouse and human intestine. Strikingly, in silico modeling revealed 2'-FL and 6'-SL, but not lactose, to dock into the binding pocket of the TLR4-MD2 complex, explaining their ability to inhibit TLR4 signaling.Conclusions2'-FL and 6'-SL, but not lactose, prevent NEC in mice and piglet models and attenuate NEC inflammation in the human ileum, in part through TLR4 inhibition.ImpactNecrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in premature infants that occurs in the setting of bacterial colonization of the gut and administration of formula feeds and activation by the innate immune receptor toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Breast milk prevents NEC through unclear mechanisms. We now show that breast milk-enriched human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) that are derived from lactose prevent NEC through inhibition of TLR4. The human milk oligosaccharides 2'-FL and 6'-SL, but not the backbone sugar lactose, prevent NEC in mice and piglets. 2'-FL and 6'-SL but not lactose inhibited TLR4 signaling in cultured enterocytes, in enteroids derived from mouse intestine, and in human intestinal explants obtained at the time of surgical resection for patients with NEC. In seeking the mechanisms involved, 2'-FL and 6'-SL but not lactose were found to directly bind to TLR4, explaining the inhibition and protection against NEC. These findings may impact clinical practice by suggesting that administration of HMOs could serve as a preventive strategy for premature infants at risk for NEC development.

Project description:Human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) and prebiotic oligosaccharides are proposed to confer several health benefits to the infant. They shape the microbiota, have anti-inflammatory properties, and support epithelial barrier functioning. However, in order to select the best oligosaccharides for inclusion in infant formulas, there is a need to increase our understanding of the specific effects of HMO and prebiotics on the host immune system. Therefore, we investigated the effects of the HMO sialyllactose (SL), and galactooligosaccharides (GOS) on epithelial barrier functioning, microbiota composition, and SCFA production. The effect of GOS and SL on epithelial barrier functioning and microbiota composition was investigated using in vitro models. Epithelial barrier function was investigated by transcriptome analysis of fully polarized Caco-2 cells exposed for 6 h to SL or GOS. In addition, epithelial cell growth, alkaline phosphatase production, and re-epithelization was studied. Further, we investigated the effect of SL and GOS on microbiota composition and SCFA production using in vitro fecal batch cultures. Transcriptome analysis showed that SL and GOS both induced pathways that regulate cell cycle control. This gene-expression profile translated to a phenotype of halted proliferation and included the induction of alkaline phosphatase activity, a marker of epithelial cell differentiation. SL and GOS also promoted re-epithelialization in an in vitro epithelial wound repair assay. SL and GOS did show distinct modulation of microbiota composition, promoting the outgrowth of Bacteroides and bifidobacteria, respectively, which resulted in distinct changes in SCFA production profiles. Our results show that SL and GOS can both modulate epithelial barrier function by inducing differentiation and epithelial wound repair, but differentially promote the growth of specific genera in the microbiota, which is associated with differential changes in SCFA profiles.
