项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Enteric infections remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children under the age of five. Pathogens affecting this age group commonly use lectin-like adhesins to adhere to host glycoproteins and glycolipids expressed on small intestinal enterocytes and/or M cells. The expression patterns of these glycoconjugates can thus impact the host's underlying susceptibility to infection. A variety of factors including age, hormones, diet, and colonization with specific commensal microflora impacts epithelial glycoconjugate expression. We have shown that colonization of adult germ-free (gnotobiotic) with the commensal Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron induces a mature pattern by up-regulating enterocyte-specific expression of a 1,2 fucosyltransferase. Fucosyltransferases link fucose to terminal galactose and N-acetyl-glucosamine residues, and thereby mask potential ligands on epithelial surfaces. These data suggest that colonization with select commensals could be used to therapeutically stimulate beneficial changes in epithelial glycoconjugate expression in susceptible populations. This proposal will test the hypothesis that select microflora, notably B. thetaiotaomicron, stimulate the development of glycoconjugates on the apical surfaces of enterocytes and M cells that reduces the capacity of pathogenic bacteria, viruses and/or toxins to infect/intoxicate the intestinal epithelium. Aims 1 and 2 will determine the full impact of B. thetaiotaomicron on expression and accessibility of epithelial glycoconjugates in the small and large intestines. These aims are directly responsive to RFA HD 08-004 (Item 5) "Surveying glycoconjugates on the surface of enterocytes to discover oligosaccharides that may serves as ligands for pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria." Aim 3 will specifically test the proposed hypothesis using well-established mouse models of cholera toxin, ricin toxin, reovirus and Salmonella typhimurium infection.

描述（由申请人提供）：肠道感染仍然是五岁以下儿童发病率和死亡率的主要原因。影响该年龄段的病原体通常使用凝集素样粘附素来粘附以宿主在小肠肠上细胞和/或M细胞上表达的糖蛋白和糖脂。因此，这些糖缀合物的表达模式可以影响宿主对感染的潜在敏感性。各种因素，包括年龄，激素，饮食和定植具有特定的共生微生物，会影响上皮糖缀合物的表达。我们已经表明，与共生杀菌剂的无菌菌菌（Gnotobiotic）定殖thetaiotaomicron通过上调1,2的1,2岩藻糖基转移酶的肠肠细胞特异性表达，从而诱导成熟的模式。岩藻糖基转移酶将岩藻糖与末端半乳糖和N-乙酰基葡萄糖残基联系起来，从而在上皮表面上掩盖了潜在的配体。这些数据表明，具有精选共生的定植可用于治疗刺激易感人群中上皮糖缀合物表达的有益变化。该提案将检验以下假设：选择的菌群，尤其是B. thetaiotaomicron，刺激糖缀合物在肠道细胞和M细胞的基本表面上的发展，从而降低了病毒细菌，病毒，病毒和/或毒素以感染/或毒素indectection/indestestal intestastal上皮。目标1和2将确定B. thetaiotaomicron对小肠和大肠中上皮糖缀合物表达和可及性的全部影响。这些目的直接响应RFA HD 08-004（项目5）“对肠细胞表面的糖缀合物进行测量，以发现可能用作致病性和非致病细菌的配体的寡糖。” AIM 3将使用公认的霍乱毒素，ricin毒素，依克斯病毒和鼠伤寒沙门氏菌感染的良好小鼠模型来特异性检验提出的假设。
