Persistent Dysregulation of IgA Production and IgA Nephropathy in the B6C3F1 Mouse Following Withdrawal of Dietary Vomitoxin (Deoxynivalenol)

To assess whether vomitoxin-induced dysregulation of IgA productionand IgA nephropathy are reversible, relevant immunologic parameterswere compared among experimental groups of B6C3F1 mice thatwere fed: (1) 25 ppm vomitoxin in AIN-76A semipurified dietfor 24 weeks (treatment group), (2) 25 ppm vomitoxin for 8 weeksand then control diet for 16 weeks (withdrawal group), and (3)control diet for 24 weeks (control group). Levels of serum IgAand microhematuria index in the treatment group were elevatedafter 4 to 8 weeks and continued to increase with further vomitoxinexposure. IgA immune complexes and mesangial IgA deposition,as quantitated by interactive laser cytometer image analysis,were also increased with toxin exposure at Weeks 8, 16, and24, whereas IgM, IgG, and complement component C3 depositionwere unaffected or depressed. Serum IgA, microhematuria index,and mesangial IgA deposition in withdrawal mice remained elevatedover those of the controls at Weeks 16 and 24 but were lessthan those of the treatment group. Cell recovery from Peyer'spatches (PP) as well as the percentages of IgA⁺ and CD4⁺ cellsin PP and spleen at Weeks 16 and 24 were greater in treatmentmice than in controls, but only the percentage of IgA⁺ cellsin PP was elevated in the withdrawal mice at these the sametime points. When IgA secretion by unstimulated and LPS-stimulatedsplenic lymphocytes was used as the measure of systemic production,it was elevated in both treatment and withdrawal mice at Weeks16 and 24. The results indicated that experimental dysregulationof IgA production and IgA nephropathy persisted up to 4 monthsafter a discrete period of dietary vomitoxin exposure, but thatthe severity of these effects did not increase in a progressivefashion.     

Influence of growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor Ⅰ axis on normal pregnancy

Objective To investigate the role of growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor Ⅰ (IGF-Ⅰ) axis in normal pregnancy. Methods Totally, 116 normal pregnant women were recruited from January 1997 to June 1998, with 20 normal nonpregnant women as controls. Maternal growth hormone (GH) and IGF-Ⅰ concentrations were assayed by RIA and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. Results Maternal serum levels of GH increased throughout gestation, reached a peak at 25 weeks of pregnancy and remained fairly high (χ[2]=40.458, P<0.0001).There was a significant difference between samples at 5-9 week gestational age and the controls (3.45 μg/L vs 1.61 μg/L, P<0.05). The maternal serum levels of IGF-Ⅰincreased rapidly throughout gestation from 29-week gestation and reached a peak of 188.86 μg/L at term delivery (χ[2]=50.224, P<0.0001). Conclusions Maternal GH levels increased progressively throughout gestation, which correlated with fetal growth. Maternal GH may regulate nutrition supply among mother, placenta and the fetus and play an important role in transporting nutritional substrates by the placenta. The maternal IGF-Ⅰin the third trimester may promote fetal growth and placental functions.
