Human milk (HM) components affect immune cell toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling. However, studies examining the immunomodulatory impacts of HM on TLR4 signaling in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) are limited. This study utilized both a TLR4 reporter cell line and a Caco-2 IEC model to examine the effects of HM on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TLR4 activation and cytokine responses, respectively. Additionally, we performed fast protein liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to identify a HM component that contributes to the effect of HM on LPS/TLR4 signaling. HM enhances LPS-induced TLR4 signaling as well as LPS-induced IEC gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and negative regulators of NF-κB. Human serum albumin (HSA) present in HM contributes to these effects. HSA within HM synergizes with LPS to induce IEC gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and negative regulators of NF-κB. Altogether, this study provides mechanistic evidence behind the immunomodulatory function of HM on IECs, which may contribute to an enhanced immune response in breast-fed neonates.
人乳(HM)成分会影响免疫细胞 Toll 样受体 4(TLR4)信号。然而,研究 HM 对肠道上皮细胞(IEC)中 TLR4 信号的免疫调节作用的研究有限。本研究分别使用 TLR4 报告细胞系和 Caco-2 IEC 模型,研究了 HM 对脂多糖(LPS)诱导的 TLR4 激活和细胞因子反应的影响。此外,我们还进行了快速蛋白质液相色谱和质谱分析,以鉴定出一种 HM 成分,该成分对 HM 对 LPS/TLR4 信号的影响有贡献。HM 增强了 LPS 诱导的 TLR4 信号以及 LPS 诱导的 IEC 促炎细胞因子和 NF-κB 负调节剂的基因表达。HM 中存在的人血清白蛋白(HSA)促成了这些作用。HM 中的 HSA 与 LPS 协同诱导 IEC 促炎细胞因子和 NF-κB 负调节剂的基因表达。总的来说,这项研究为 HM 对 IEC 的免疫调节功能提供了机制证据,这可能有助于母乳喂养的新生儿增强免疫反应。
