Parenteral nutrition (PN) decreases gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), the intestinal IgA stimulating cytokines IL-4 and IL-10 in gut homogenates, intestinal IgA levels and the expression of Peyer patch (PP) mucosal cellular adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1), an adhesion molecule found on the high endothelial venules of PP and other tissues. IL-4 in PP stimulates MAdCAM expression in vitro. MAdCAM-1 blockade with MECA-367 reduces GALT cell populations to PN levels but maintains intestinal IgA levels if the animals are chow fed. This study compares IL-4 levels in PP of chow and PN fed mice and measures the effects of MAdCAM blockade on IL-4 and IL-10 levels in gut homogenates of chow fed mice. We hypothesized that in vivo IL-4 levels drop in PP of PN fed mice and IL-4 and IL-10 levels are maintained after MAdCAM-1 blockade in chow fed mice.
