Formula Feeding and Immature Gut Microcirculation Promote Intestinal Hypoxia leading to Necrotizing Enterocolitis

ABSTRACT: Major risk factors for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) are formula feeding and prematurity, however, their pathogenic mechanisms are unknown. We found that insufficient arginine/nitric oxide synthesis limits blood flow in the intestinal microvasculature, leading to hypoxia, mucosa damage and NEC in the premature intestine after formula feeding. Formula feeding led to increased intestinal hypoxia in pups at postnatal day 1(P1) and P5, but not in more mature pups at P9. Accordingly, blood flow in the intestinal microvasculature increased after formula feeding only in P9 pups. mRNA profiling revealed that regulators of arginine/nitric oxide synthesis are at higher levels in endothelial cells of the intestine of P9 than P1 pups. Importantly, arginine supplementation increased intestinal microvasculature blood flow, and prevented NEC, whereas an arginine antagonist exacerbated NEC. Our results suggest that balancing intestinal oxygen demand and supply in the premature intestine by modulating arginine/nitric oxide could be used to prevent NEC.

Amniotic fluid and necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm pigs

Project description:Preterm neonates are susceptible to gastrointestinal (GI) disorders such as necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Maternal milk, and especially colostrum, protects against NEC via growth promoting, immunomodulatory and antimicrobial factors. The fetal enteral diet, amniotic fluid (AF), contains similar bioactive components and we hypothesized that postnatal AF administration would reduce inflammatory responses and NEC in preterm neonates. Thirty preterm pigs (92% gestation) were delivered by caesarean section and fed total parental nutrition (TPN) for 48 h followed by enteral porcine colostrum (COLOS, n=7), infant formula (FORM, n=13) or formula + porcine AF (AF, n=10). Using a previously validated model of NEC in preterm pigs, we determined the structural, functional, microbiological and immunological responses to AF when administered prior to and after introduction of a suboptimal enteral formula diet. Keywords: Healthy versus inflammed tissues in relation to necrotizing enterocolitis Pigs from each treatment group (COLOS, n=4; FORM, n=6; and AF, n=7) were randomly selected for microarray analysis of frozen distal small intestine samples. The FORM group was further divided into formula-fed healthy pigs (F-HEA, n=3) and formula-fed NEC pigs (F-NEC, n=3) in order to compare sick versus healthy formula fed pigs. Equal amounts of total distal small intestinal RNA from all pigs were pooled to make the reference sample. Samples and reference pool were labelled with Oyster 550 and 650, respectively. The in-house spotted porcine oligonucleotide microarray version 4 (POM4) is a low density microarray consisting of 384 different oligonucleotide probes representing more than 200 different immune related genes.

Neonatal antibotic prophylaxis modulates intestinal immunity and prevents necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm neonates

Project description:Caesarean-delivered preterm pigs were fed 3 d of parenteral nutrition followed by 2 d of enteral formula feeding. Antibiotics (n=11) or control saline (n=13) were given twice daily from birth to tissue collection at d 5. NEC-lesions and intestinal structure, function, microbiology and immunity markers were recorded. We used Affymetrix microarrays to investigate gene expression in intestinal tissues of preterm piglets treated with antibiotics or control saline. Twenty-four preterm piglets were delivered by caesarean section on day 105 of gestation from two healthy sows. All piglets were initially provided with parenteral nutrition via a vascular catheter, combined with small amounts of minimal enteral nutrition. On day three, all parenteral nutrition was stopped and total enteral nutrition was given through an oro-gastric feeding tube. Piglets were allocated into controls ( n=13) and an intervention group receiving oral and systemic broad-spectrum antibiotics ( n=11). To assure high systemic and intra luminal MIC values antibiotics were given both orally and intramuscularly. All antibiotics were given directly after feeding with an oral bolus and control pigs were given corresponding amounts of saline. On day five, all piglets were euthanized, and small intestinal tissue collected.

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 Pigs from treatment groups TPN (n=5), and 8 h (n=5) and 24 h (n=5-6) FORM and COLOS were randomly selected for microarray analysis. Equal amounts of total distal small intestinal RNA from all pigs was pooled to make the reference sample. Samples and reference pool were labelled with Oyster 550 and 650, respectively. The in-house spotted porcine oligonucleotide microarray version 4 (POM4) is a low density microarray consisting of 384 different oligonucleotide probes representing more than 200 different immune related genes and eight different array control oligonucleotides (ArrayControl; Ambion, NÃ¦rum, Denmark). The immunologically relevant 60-70mer oligonucleotide probes represent interferons and interleukins (and receptors), chemokines (and receptors), acute phase proteins, apoptosis-related factors and sequences with relevance to Toll-like receptors and their intracellular signalling pathways.

Indole-3-carbinol-dependent aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling attenuates the inflammatory response in experimental necrotizing enterocolitis

Project description:Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) causes significant morbidity and mortality in premature infants; therefore, the identification of therapeutic and preventative strategies against NEC remains a high priority. The ligand-dependent transcription factor aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is well known to contribute to the regulation of intestinal microbial communities and amelioration of intestinal inflammation. However, the role of AhR signaling in NEC is unclear. Experimental NEC was induced in four-day-old wild-type mice or mice lacking AhR expression in the intestinal epithelial cells (AhRΔrIEC) or in CD11c+ cells (AhRΔrCD11c) by subjecting animals to twice daily hypoxic stress and gavage feeding with formula supplemented with lipopolysaccharide and enteric bacteria. During NEC, compared to wild-type mice treated with vehicle, littermates treated with an AhR pro-ligand, indole-3-carbinol (I3C), had reduced expression of Il1b and Marco, a scavenger receptor that mediates dendritic cell activation and the recognition and clearance of bacterial pathogens by macrophages. Furthermore, I3C treatment lead to the downregulation of genes involved in cytokine and chemokine as revealed by pathway enrichment analysis. AhRΔrIEC and their cre-negative mouse littermates were similarly susceptible to experimental NEC, whereas AhRΔrCD11c mice with NEC exhibited heightened inflammatory responses compared to their cre-negative mouse littermates. In seeking to determine the mechanisms involved in this increased inflammatory response, we identified the Tim-4- monocyte-dependent subset of macrophages as increased in AhRΔrCD11c mice compared to their cre-negative littermates. Taken together, these findings demonstrate the potential for AhR ligands as a novel immunotherapeutic approach to the management of this devastating disease.

Maternal and donor human milk support robust intestinal epithelial growth and differentiation in a fetal intestinal organoid model

Project description:Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe gastrointestinal complication of prematurity. Using small intestinal organoids derived from fetal tissue of a gestational age similar to an extremely preterm infant, this study aims to assess the effect of diet on intestinal epithelial growth and differentiation to elucidate the role nutrition type plays in intestinal development and modifies the risk for NEC. Organoids were cultured for 5 days in growth media and 5 days in differentiation media supplemented 1:40 with four different diets: maternal milk (MM), donor human milk (DHM), standard formula, or extensively hydrolyzed formula. Images were captured daily and organoids were quantified. Organoids were preserved for RNA sequencing and immunofluorescence staining with Ki67, cleaved caspase 3, and chromogranin-A. Media was saved for cytokine/chemokine and growth factor analysis.Human milk supplementation improved growth and differentiation of intestinal organoids generating larger organoids during the growth phase and organoids with longer and wider buds during differentiation compared to formula. Ki67 staining confirmed the proliferative nature of milk-supplemented organoids and chromogranin A staining proved that MM-supplemented organoids induced highest enteroendocrine differentiation. Human milk supplementation also upregulated genes involved in proliferation and promoted a homeostatic immune landscape while those supplemented with formula had a downregulation of cell-cycle-promoting genes and a more inflammatory immune signature. Our results show that MM, and to a lesser extent DHM, support robust intestinal epithelial proliferation and differentiation, suggesting a critical role for factors enriched in human milk in intestinal epithelial health.

Artemisinin mimics calorie restriction to trigger mitochondrial biogenesis and compromise telomere shortening in mice

Project description:Calorie restriction is known to extend lifespan among organisms by a debating mechanism underlying nitric oxide-driven mitochondrial biogenesis. We report here that nitric oxide generators including artemisinin, sodium nitroprusside, and L-arginine mimics calorie restriction and resembles hydrogen peroxide to initiate the nitric oxide signaling cascades and to elicit the global antioxidative responses in mice. The large quantities of antioxidant enzymes are correlated with the low levels of reactive oxygen species, which allow the down-regulation of tumor suppressors and accessory DNA repair partners, eventually leading to the compromise of telomere shortening. Accompanying with the up-regulation of kinases, acetylases, and biomarkers, mitochondrial biogenesis occurs with the elevation of adenosine triphosphate levels upon exposure of mouse skeletal muscles to the mimetics of calorie restriction. In conclusion, calorie restriction-triggered nitric oxide provides antioxidative protection and alleviates telomere attrition via mitochondrial biogenesis, thereby maintaining chromosomal stability and integrity, which are the hallmarks of longevity. Six samples were analyzed, in which a control sample was included.
