Abstract

Obesity exacerbates susceptibility to infectious diseases. We investigated the effects of a high-fat diet (HFD) on intestinal immunity, particularly immunoglobulin (Ig)A-producing cells, B-cell activating factor (BAFF), and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) localization. Mice (4- to 20-weeks old) were fed HFD or standard chow diet, and their jejunum and ileum were fixed using the in vivo cryotechnique. Immunohistochemistry was performed for IgA, BAFF, and APRIL. In the HFD group, IgA⁺, IgA⁺CD22⁺ (p < 0.001), and IgA⁺CD138⁻ (p = 0.007) cell counts were diminished in the middle sections of the lamina propria of jejunal villi, and BAFF levels were significantly reduced in jejunal villi. The HFD effects on IgA⁺ cell distribution seem to be confined to jejunal villi, hinting at localized vulnerabilities in intestinal immunity during obesity. Moreover, in the HFD group, IgA⁺ B-cell counts were reduced in the middle jejunum, indicating inhibition of the IgA⁺ B-cells through a T-cell-independent pathway.

期刊介绍： Cellular Immunology publishes original investigations concerned with the immunological activities of cells in experimental or clinical situations. The scope of the journal encompasses the broad area of in vitro and in vivo studies of cellular immune responses. Purely clinical descriptive studies are not considered. Research Areas include: • Antigen receptor sites • Autoimmunity • Delayed-type hypersensitivity or cellular immunity • Immunologic deficiency states and their reconstitution • Immunologic surveillance and tumor immunity • Immunomodulation • Immunotherapy • Lymphokines and cytokines • Nonantibody immunity • Parasite immunology • Resistance to intracellular microbial and viral infection • Thymus and lymphocyte immunobiology • Transplantation immunology • Tumor immunity.
