The white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei has been greatly impacted by Vibrio infection. In this study, we investigated the intestinal barrier response of L vannamei following challenge with Vibrio parahaemolyticus E1, by examining morphological changes and transcriptome expression levels. A total of 16,4420 unigenes were obtained from RNAseq data after quality control and assembly, and 4646 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified following Vibrio challenge, of which 2469 unigenes were significantly up-regulated and 2177 were significantly down-regulated. DEGs were determined to be involved in various physical, chemical and immunological intestinal barrier functions, including peritrophin, cytoskeleton and cell junction, pattern recognition receptors, antimicrobial peptide and immune signaling pathways, serine protease/protease inhibitor and prophenoloxidase system, apoptosis and phagocytosis, and antioxidant systems. Fifteen DEGs were randomly selected for validation by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and showed results consistent with the RNA-seq data. Intestinal epithelial cell morphology was also affected by Vibrio challenge, showing epithelial detachment, nuclear pyknosis, and destruction of cell junctions. These results improve our current understanding of the intestinal barrier function in the shrimp response to bacterial infection.

Orally targeting nanostrategies of multiple nutraceuticals have attracted increasing attention in ulcerative colitis (UC) therapy for superior patient compliance, cost-effectiveness, and biocompatibility. However, the actual targeting delivery and bioefficacy of nutraceuticals are extremely restricted by their poor solubility, interior gastrointestinal retention, and base permeability. Herein, we developed controllable colon-targeting nanoparticles (NPs) composed of a quaternary ammonium chitosan (HTCC) shell and succinic acid-modified γ-cyclodextrin (SACD) core for precise UC treatment.

The gut microbiome has emerged as a growing focus of research and public health interest, leading to the frequent exploration of probiotic dietary supplements as potential treatments for various disorders, such as anxiety and depression. In the present report, changes in inflammation and microbiome composition were assessed in model mice exhibiting depressive-like behaviors that were exposed to the probiotic HBUAS52074. It was found that HBUAS52074 alleviated the severity of depressive-like behaviors while increasing serum 5-HT concentrations.

Similarly to acute intestinal helminth infection, several conditions of chronic eosinophilic type 2 inflammation of mucosal surfaces, including asthma and eosinophilic esophagitis, feature robust expansions of intraepithelial mast cells (MCs). Also the hyperplastic mucosa of nasal polyposis in the context of chronic rhinosinusitis, with or without COX1 inhibitor intolerance, contains impressive numbers of intraepithelial MCs. In this issue of the JCI, Derakhshan et al.

During the late laying period, the intestinal barrier of laying hens is susceptible to damage, resulting in enteric infections and even systemic inflammatory responses, posing a major challenge for the poultry industry. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate methods for addressing intestinal inflammation in late laying hens. In order to maximize the production potential of egg laying chickens, farmers usually use various feed additives to prevent damage to the intestinal barrier.

Dogs are increasingly recognized as valuable large animal models for understanding human intestinal diseases, as they naturally develop conditions similar to those in humans, such as Enterohemorrhagic , , inflammatory bowel disease, and ulcerative colitis. Given the similarity in gut flora between dogs and humans, canine intestinal models are ideal for translational research. However, conventional extracellular matrix-embedded organoids present challenges in accessing the lumen, which is critical for gut function.
