The purpose of this study was to investigate the appropriate proportion of Caco-2 and HT29 co-culture in vitro cell models for permeability studies. The results showed that the transepithelial electrical resistance values of 9:1 and 1:0 groups (263 ± 3.61 and 300 ± 7.55) after 21-day culture were >250 Ω cm(2), which were suitable for further experiments. The confocal laser microscopy showed that the group of 9:1 (Caco-2:HT29) had the highest integrity, whereas the group of 0:1 (Caco-2:HT29) exhibited the lowest. The staining study confirmed that mucus was successfully produced by HT29 cells, and it was also produced in co-cultures with Caco-2 cells model, but the Caco-2 monocultures did not have any blue staining, which made us affirm that mucus is only produced in the presence of HT29 cells. The real-time PCR results showed that the total highest expression level of ALPi and MUC5AC was the ratio of 9:1 (Caco-2:HT29) and lowest is 1:1 (Caco-2:HT29). So we concluded that 9:1 (Caco-2:HT29) is the optimal Caco-2 to HT29 ratio in the in vitro model co-culture for permeability studies.

Article Synopsis
- Three species of Yersinia (Y. intermedia, Y. frederiksenii, and Y. kristensenii), common foodborne pathogens, were analyzed using genomic data to uncover their potential threat, revealing significant genomic diversity and a noteworthy presence in Europe and Asia.
- Y. intermedia demonstrated a high level of accessory genes, suggesting adaptability and the ability to acquire beneficial traits, while all three species contained various mobile genetic elements including plasmids and insertion sequences.
- Differences in antibiotic resistance genes and virulence gene composition were noted, with Y. kristensenii being the most virulent, containing the most virulence genes, while Y. frederiksenii showed unique pathogenic mechanisms.
Mustard Meal Extract as an Alternative to Zinc Oxide for Protecting the Intestinal Barrier Against -Lipopolysaccharide Damage.

Laboratory of Animal Biology, National Institute for Research and Development for Biology and Animal Nutrition, Calea Bucuresti No. 1, Balotesti, 077015 Ilfov, Romania.
The present study aimed to investigate the ability of an aqueous extract derived from mustard seed meal to counteract the effects of endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the intestinal epithelium. Caco-2 cells were cultured together with HT29-MTX and used as a cellular model to analyze critical intestinal parameters, such as renewal, integrity, innate immunity, and signaling pathway. Byproducts of mustard seed oil extraction are rich in soluble polysaccharides, proteins, allyl isothiocyanates, and phenolic acids, which are known as powerful antioxidants with antimicrobial and antifungal properties.

Background: The consumption of ultra-processed foods has increased significantly worldwide and is associated with the rise in inflammatory bowel diseases. However, any causative factors and their underlying mechanisms are yet to be identified. This study aimed to further elucidate whether different types of the dietary emulsifier carrageenan (CGN) can alter the permeability and inflammatory state of the intestinal epithelium.

Oral protein drugs' delivery faces challenges due to multiple absorption barriers for macromolecules. Co-administration with permeation enhancers and encapsulation in nano-carriers are two promising strategies to enhance their oral absorption. Herein, the poly(lactic--glycolic acid) nanoparticles (PLGA NPs) are decorated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and a traditional Chinese medicine-derived permeation enhancer borneol (BO) for oral insulin delivery.
