Mammary Leukocyte-Assisted Nanoparticle Transport Enhances Targeted Milk Trace Mineral Delivery.

ABSTRACT: Nanoparticles are applied as versatile platforms for drug/gene delivery in many applications owing to their long-retention and specific targeting properties in living bodies. However, the delivery mechanism and the beneficial effect of nanoparticle-retention in many organisms remain largely uncertain. Here, the transport and metabolism of mineral nanoparticles in mammary gland during lactation are explored. It is shown that maternal intravenous administration of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs; diameter: ≈11.0 nm, surface charge: -29.1 mV, surface area: 1.05 m² g^-1 ) provides elevated iron delivery to mammary gland and increased iron secretion into breast milk, which is inaccessible by classical iron-ion transport approaches such as the transferrin receptor-mediated endocytic pathway. Mammary macrophages and neutrophils are found to play dominant roles in uptake and delivery of IONPs through an unconventional leukocyte-assisted iron secretion pathway. This pathway bypasses the tight iron concentration regulation of liver hepcidin-ferroportin axis and mammary epithelial cells to increase milk iron-ion content derived from IONPs. This work provides keen insight into the metabolic pathway of nanoparticles in mammary gland while offering a new scheme of nutrient delivery for neonate metabolism regulation by using nanosized nutrients.

Project description:Two experiments were conducted to determine: 1) the impact of strained rumen fluid (SRF) alone or SRF with particle-associated microorganisms (PAO) included and dilution on in vitro dry matter digestibility (DMD) and 2) the impact of trace mineral (TM) source on in vitro fermentation characteristics and TM solubility under simulated abomasal and intestinal conditions. In experiment 1, 3 cannulated steers were adapted to a diet formulated to meet the nutrient requirements for lactating dairy cows. Strained RF was obtained by straining rumen content through 2 layers of cheesecloth. Half of the remaining digesta was washed with McDougall's buffer and filtered through 2 layers of cheesecloth to obtain PAO. Both SRF and PAO were filtered again through 8 layers of cheesecloth. Strained RF was mixed with either McDougall's buffer (SRF) or PAO (SRF+ + PAO) at a ratio of 1:2 or 1:4 and incubated at 39 °C for 12 h using the ground basal diet as the substrate. Digestibility of DM was greater in digestion tubes containing SRF and SRF + PAO at a 1:2 ratio. In experiment 2, 8 steers fitted with a ruminal cannula were blocked by body weight and assigned to 1 of the 2 treatment groups. Treatments consisted of 10 mg Cu, 40 mg Mn, and 60 mg Zn/kg DM from either: 1) sulfate (STM) or 2) hydroxychloride (HTM) sources. Steers were housed in individual pens and fed the same diet as described in experiment 1. Dietary TM treatments were mixed with dried distiller grains and mixed in the diet, by hand, immediately after basal diet delivery. Dietary treatments were fed for 14 d. On day 15, SRF + PAO was collected from each steer (STM-RF and HTM-RF) and used in a series of in vitro crossover experiments. In vitro substrates (S) used were the ground diets consumed by the animals on each treatment (STM-S and HTM-S). Incubations containing HTM-S had greater (P < 0.01) total volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration and propionic acid molar proportions, but lesser (P < 0.01) acetic acid molar proportions than STM-S. Rumen fluid from steers supplemented with HTM had a greater (P < 0.03) total VFA than STM-RF at 24 h post incubation. After 12 h post incubation, the molar proportion of propionic acid in HTM-RF was lesser (P = 0.04) than in STM-RF. After simulated abomasal digestion, soluble Mn concentration in HTM-S was greater (P < 0.01) than in STM-S. These data indicate that the source of TM can influence in vitro rumen fermentation characteristics and Mn solubility under simulated abomasal conditions.
