    Abstract Rapamycin is a potent immunosuppressive drug that has been recently proposed for a wide range of applications beyond its current clinical use. For some of these proposed applications, encapsulation in nanoparticles is key to ensure therapeutic efficacy and safety. In this work, we evaluate the effect of pore size on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) as rapamycin nanocarriers. The successful preparation of MSN with 4 different pore sizes was confirmed by dynamic light scattering, zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy and N

    Abstract IgE antibodies are essential mediators of allergies. In a recent study in Science, Croote et al. (2018) characterize IgE cells isolated from individuals allergic to peanuts. Their findings provide insight into the differentiation of IgE cells in humans and have implications for our understanding of allergic disease.

    Abstract Serum protein concentrates have been shown to exert in vivo anti-inflammatory effects. Specific effects on different cell types and their mechanism of action remain unraveled. We aimed to characterize the immunomodulatory effect of two porcine plasma protein concentrates, spray dried serum (SDS) and an immunoglobulin concentrate (IC), currently used as animal nutritional supplements with established in vivo immunomodulatory properties. Cytokine production by the intestinal epithelial cell line IEC18 and by primary cultures of rat splenocytes was studied. The molecular pathways involved were explored with specific inhibitors and gene knockdown. Our results indicate that both products induced GROα and MCP-1 production in IEC18 cells by a MyD88/NF-κB-dependent mechanism. Inhibition of TNF production was observed in rat primary splenocyte cultures. The immunoglobulin concentrate induced IL-10 expression in primary splenocytes and lymphocytes. The effect on TNF was independent of IL-10 production or the stimulation of NF-kB, MAPKs, AKT, or RAGE. In conclusion, SDS and IC directly regulate intestinal and systemic immune response in murine intestinal epithelial cells and in T lymphocytes and monocytes.

    Abstract Type 2 allergen‐specific T cells are essential for the induction and maintenance of allergies to foods, and Tregs specific for these allergens are assumed to be involved in their resolution. However, it has not been convincingly demonstrated whether allergen‐specific Treg responses are responsible for the generation of oral tolerance in humans. We observed that sustained food allergen exposure in the form of oral immunotherapy resulted in increased frequency of Tregs only in individuals with lasting clinical tolerance. We sought to identify regulatory components of the CD4⁺ T‐cell response to food allergens by studying their functional activation over time in vitro and in vivo. Two subsets of Tregs expressing CD137 or CD25/OX40 were identified with a delayed kinetics of activation compared with clonally enriched pathogenic effector Th2 cells. Treg activation was dependent on IL‐2 derived from effector T cells. In vivo exposure to peanut in the form of an oral food challenge of allergic subjects induced a delayed and persistent activation of Tregs after initiation of the allergen‐specific Th2 response. The novel finding of our work is that a sustained wave of Treg activation is induced by the release of IL‐2 from Th2 effector cells, with the implication that therapeutic administration of IL‐2 could improve current OIT approaches.

    Abstract The glucocorticoid receptor NR3C1 is expressed in multiple cell types in the gut and elsewhere. Intestinal epithelial cells both produce and respond to glucocorticoids in different physiological and pathological contexts. In experimental colitis, glucocorticoids have been shown to exert a dual role, dampening inflammation while producing a deterioration in animal status, including death.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Glucocorticoids are the first line treatment for the flare-ups of inflammatory bowel disease, but they have significant limitations. The objective of this study is to investigate whether glucocorticoid epithelial actions contribute to such limitations.
    Experimental approach: Intestinal epithelium glucocorticoid receptor knockout mice (Nr3c1
    Key results: After 7 days of DSS Nr3c1
    Conclusions and implications: The intestinal epithelial glucocorticoid receptor has deleterious effects in experimental colitis induced by DSS, probably related to inhibition of epithelial proliferative responses leading to impaired wound healing and reduced endogenous corticosterone production.
