Proliferation of CD4+ cells and trended to increase CD19+ cells. This is consistent with previous studies that arginine proliferated CD4+ cells and CD19+ cells [29]. The explanation for this is that arginine is 1317923 an essential amino acid for maximum proliferative responses to T cell activation signals transduced via the TCR-CD3 complex [29]. B cells become the major source of IgA precursor cells by CB-5083 web undergoing class ASP015K site switch recombination to IgA secreting cells, which are heavily dependent on some cytokines secreted by activated T cells, such as IL-10 [28]. Our results also revealed that the number of CD8+ was not affected by the increased level of arginine. This is inconsistent with the previous studies of Ochoa [20], who found L-arginine significantly increased the proportion of CD8+ cells [20]. This discrepancy may be due to our use of newborn piglets as our animal model, the absolute number of CD8+ cells was low at birth, and a significant increment was observed from the 19th to the 41st day of age [30]; So our results suggest that the supplementation of NCG could not accelerate the proliferation of CD8+ in neonatal pigs. In conclusion, the number of CD4+ and CD19+ in NCG supplementation groups was increased, compared with the no-NCG supplementation groups. It is also well-known that the processes of B cells maturation into IgA-plasma cells and IgA synthesis are highly controlled bycytokines produced by T cells [29]. T cells produce cytokines that are either IgA-inhibitory, such 1315463 as IFN-c, IL-2, or IgA-stimulatory, such as IL-4, IL-5, IL-6 and IL-10 [31]. IFN-c and IL-2, mainly produced by Th1 cells, have the ability to activate T lymphocytes; IL-4 and IL-10, mainly produced by Th2 cells, are quite important for SIgA synthesis; For example, IL-4 stimulates B cells undergoing class switch recombination to IgA secretory cells and IL-10 promotes conversion of SIgA B cells to mature SIgAsecreting plasma cells [28]. In addition, Th1 and Th2 cells can antagonize each other’s actions, IFN-c secreted by Th1 cells can block the proliferation of Th2 cells, and high concentrations of IL4 or IL-10 produced by Th2 can inhibit the generation of Th1 cells and Th1 cytokine production [32]. The results revealed that the level of IL-2 decreased significantly in E. coli + NCG piglets compared with E. coli challenged piglets; This finding is inconsistent with previous research reporting that arginine supplementation led to increase IL-2 production in vitro [33]. However, this is inconsistent because the absolute level of IL-2 accumulation is not only dependent on its production but also on its utilization, and the L-arginine, at the level in our experiment, may preferentially affect IL-2 utilization rather than its production in piglets [20], especially when the level of IL-2 had already been kept at a high level after E. coli challenge. Moreover, our results revealed that NCG supplementation promoted IL-10 production. Hence, it is equally possible that the increased level of IL-10 contributed to inhibitory effects on IL-2 production [32]. The results also showed that the levels of IL-4 and IL-10 were also significantly increased after the E. coli challenge, and the IL-10 concentration was further promoted by the NCG supplementation, which can stimulate SIgA secretion [28]. In conclusion, the present study indicates that NCG supplementation in milk-replacer formula is beneficial for promoting gut mucosal immunity after E. coli challenge in neonatal piglets, w.Proliferation of CD4+ cells and trended to increase CD19+ cells.
