A rat model of mild intestinal inflammation induced byStaphylococcus aureusenterotoxin B

Abstract: The epithelial barrier of the intestine and the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) protects the host against luminal pathogenic micro-organisms. This is important at weaning, when animals are exposed to infectious agents and stresses. We have developed a rat model of intestinal inflammation post weaning, based on the systemic administration ofStaphylococcus aureusenterotoxin B (SEB). Since the inflammatory response obtained is mild, the food intake pattern is not affected, which makes this model useful for … Show more

“…In mice, the SEB challenge induces intestinal inflammation with features that are similar to those previously described in the rat [12]. In both species, SEB increases infiltration of immune cells into intestinal mucosa and enhances production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, without affecting the histology of the jejunum or systemic (immune) variables.…”

“…The limited magnitude of the GALT response to the SEB challenge makes this model appropriate for the study of dietary approaches that may have modulatory effects on signaling pathways. As a result of immune activation, the expression of junctional proteins, such as zonula occludens-1 and β-catenin, is reduced, which is consistent with the increased in luminal water contents and mucosal permeability [12]. SEB also reduces the expression of mucosal defensins [13] and SGLT1 abundance in villous apex [14].…”

“…This therapeutic effect is fully manifested when experimental animals are exposed to bacteria and bacterial toxins (28). Immunoglobulin concentrates from animal plasma can reduce both the expression of mucosal proinflammatory cytokines (4) and the activation of Th subsets in lamina propria and epithelium (31). At the same time they can enhance the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines (29), thereby contributing to the restoration of intestinal homeostasis.…”

“…The mechanism of action of the antiinflammatory effects of oral plasma proteins, though still controversial, involves the mucosal organized and diffuse GALT. In rats, administration of SEB produces mild intestinal inflammation (7) and this response is partially blocked by dietary supplementation with animal plasma proteins, either SDP or an Ig-enriched plasma fraction (IC) (8)(9)(10). In both cases, there is a reduction in the GALT mucosal response (11).…”
