BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency may contribute to the high prevalence of food allergy but the underlying mechanisms are far from clear. OBJECTIVE: The present study was designed to investigate the effect of maternal and early-life vitamin D deficiency in the development of food allergy. DESIGN: BALB/c mice were treated with ovalbumin (OVA) to trigger allergic reactions, under vitamin D-deficient (by maternal and early-life feeding of vitamin D deprived chow diet) or vitamin D-sufficient conditions. RESULTS: Increased occurrence and severity of allergic diarrhea as well as decreased rectal temperature were observed after OVA sensitization. For vitamin D deficiency groups, OVA-specific IgE and IL-4 levels were significantly increased, while IFN-γ levels were unchanged. Vitamin D deficiency also attenuated the structure of small intestinal villi and decreased the expression of the tight junction protein between adjacent epithelial cells and the percentages of CD4CD25Foxp3Treg cell in spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes. CONCLUSIONS: Maternal and early-life vitamin D deficiency have notable influence on the susceptibility to food allergy, which may relate with the reduced population of Treg cell and the dysfunction of intestinal epithelial barrier.
背景:近期研究表明,维生素D缺乏可能导致食物过敏的高患病率,但其潜在机制尚不清楚。 目的:本研究旨在探讨母体及生命早期维生素D缺乏对食物过敏发生发展的影响。 设计:将BALB/c小鼠在维生素D缺乏(通过母体及生命早期喂食缺乏维生素D的饲料)或维生素D充足的条件下,用卵清蛋白(OVA)处理以引发过敏反应。 结果:OVA致敏后,观察到过敏性腹泻的发生率和严重程度增加,直肠温度降低。对于维生素D缺乏组,OVA特异性IgE和IL-4水平显著升高,而IFN-γ水平未改变。维生素D缺乏还使小肠绒毛结构变细,相邻上皮细胞间紧密连接蛋白的表达降低,脾脏和肠系膜淋巴结中CD4CD25Foxp3Treg细胞百分比降低。 结论:母体及生命早期维生素D缺乏对食物过敏易感性有显著影响,这可能与Treg细胞数量减少和肠道上皮屏障功能障碍有关。
