Implication

Experimental study demonstrates that porcine milk-derived exosomes stimulate intestinal epithelial proliferation in cellular and mouse models, highlighting their role in neonatal gut development.

Key Points

  • To determine the biological role of porcine milk-derived exosomes in neonatal intestinal tract development and epithelial cell proliferation.
  • Treated porcine intestinal epithelial cells (IPEC-J2) in vitro with milk-derived exosomes (27 ± 3 ng and 55 ± 5 ng total RNA) to assess proliferation via MTT, CCK-8, and EdU assays.
  • Quantified gene and protein expression of proliferative markers (CDX2, IGF-1R, PCNA) and apoptotic regulators (p53, FAS, SERPINE) alongside microRNAs using qRT-PCR and Western blotting.
  • Administered exosomes (0.125 μg and 0.25 μg total RNA) to mice in vivo and measured histological changes in intestinal villus height, crypt depth, and proliferation markers.
  • In vitro exosome treatment significantly increased IPEC-J2 cell proliferation, upregulated CDX2, IGF-1R, PCNA, and six microRNAs, while downregulating p53, FAS, and SERPINE expression.
  • In vivo exosome administration significantly increased mouse intestinal villus height, crypt depth, and the villus length-to-crypt depth ratio, accompanied by increased CDX2, PCNA, and IGF-1R and decreased p53 levels.
