Article Abstract
Objective: To observe the effect of Guizhi Decoction (GZD) on immunological indexes in intestinal mucosal immune system of mice with Bi syndrome (collagen induced immune arthritis).
Methods: Eighty male DBA mice were randomly divided into 4 groups, the normal group, the model group and the high and low dosage GZD groups. Model of Bi syndrome was induced by collagen type II. CD4+, CD8+ T-lymphocytes and SIgA in mice' small intestine and PP node were labeled by immunohistochemical staining and their number was calculated using imaging analyzer.
Results: Compared with the normal group, in the model group, after immunization with collagen type II, numbers of CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes and SIgA in mice' intestinal mucosal immune system reduced significantly (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). After treatment with GZD of both high and low dosage, CD4+ T-lymphocytes and SIgA increased significantly, but significant difference only showed in comparison between the high dosage GZD group and the model group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).
Conclusion: GZD could enhance the immune function in intestinal mucosa in mice with Bi syndrome, thus it might induce immune tolerance and immune inhibition.

Human milk IgA promotes normal immune development by limiting Th17-inducing in the infant gut.

The gut microbiota is highly dynamic during the first year of life and plays a crucial role in immune development. Breastfeeding is known to support infant health, but the contributions of the numerous breastmilk components to gut microbiota and immune maturation remain unclear. Secretory IgA (SIgA), the most abundant antibody in human milk, is a key modulator of gut microbiota composition.

Several human lymphocyte subsets express the novel secretory IgA receptor FCRL3 (Fc receptor-like 3). Secretory IgA binding to FCRL3 diminishes the inhibitory capacity of regulatory T cells and promotes a T helper 17-like phenotype. Here, we report that in CD4+ regulatory T cells and CD8+ terminal effector T cells secretory IgA induced a shared inflammatory gene signature that included PTGS2 encoding COX2, and the prototypic inflammatory cytokine genes IL1A, IL1B, and IL8.

Article Synopsis
- ! Antibiotics are given to 20%-30% of pregnant women, yet their impact on newborn immune development is not well understood, leading to increased susceptibility to sepsis in offspring of treated mothers.
- ! Newborn mice from antibiotic-treated mothers showed lower levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA) in breast milk and feces, leading to a weakened gut immune response and increased risks of gut bacteria entering the bloodstream.
- ! Restoring IgA production through treatments or using breast milk from untreated mothers improved immune profiles and offered protection against sepsis in pups, emphasizing the importance of breastfeeding in mitigating antibiotic effects.

Asthma susceptibility is linked to dysbiosis in early-life gut microbiota, and the antibody secretory immunoglobulin (Ig)A (SIgA) is a key determinant of gut microbiota composition. SIgA is obtained through breast milk during the critical early-life window. We use a mouse model of SIgA deficiency and the house dust mite (HDM) model of asthma to elucidate the role of maternal SIgA in modulating the early-life gut microbiota and asthma protection.

Background: Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) has long been a pathogenic microorganism threatening the global poultry industry. Previous studies have demonstrated that the mechanism by which quercetin (QUE) inhibits the colonization of MG in chicks differs from that of antibiotics. However, the molecular mechanism by which QUE facilitates the clearance of MG remains unclear.
