Effect of Lactobacillus spp. on adhesion, invasion, and translocation of Campylobacter jejuni in chicken and pig small-intestinal epithelial cell lines
Maja Šikić Pogačar, Tomaž Langerholc, Dušanka Mičetić-Turk, Sonja Smole Možina, Anja Klančnik, 2020, original scientific article

Abstract: Background : Campylobacter spp. are a major cause of bacterial food-borne diarrhoeal disease. This mainly arises through contamination of meat products during processing. For infection, Campylobacter spp. must adhere to epithelial cells of the mucus layer, survive conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, and colonise the intestine of the host. Addition of probiotic bacteria might promote competitive a dhesion to epithelial cells, consequently reducing Campylobacter jejuni colonisation. Effect of Lactobacillus spp. (PCS20, PCS22, PCS25, LGG, PCK9) on C. jejuni adhesion, invasion and translocation in pig (PSI cl.1) and chicken (B1OXI) small-intestine cell lines, as well as pig enterocytes (CLAB) was investigated. Results : Overall, in competitive adhesion assays with PSI cl.1 and CLAB cell monolayers, the addition of Lactobacillus spp. reduced C. jejuni adherence to the cell surface, and negatively affected the C. jejuni invasion. Interestingly, Lactobacillus spp. significantly impaired C. jejuni adhesion in three-dimensional functional PSI cl.1 and B1OXI cell models. Also, C. jejuni did not translocate across PSI cl.1 and B1OXI cell monolayers when co-incubated with probiotics. Among selected probiotics, Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG was the strain that reduced adhesion efficacy of C. jejuni most significantly under co-culture conditions. Conclusion : The addition of Lactobacillus spp. to feed additives in livestock nutrition might be an effective novel strategy that targets Campylobacter adhesion to epithelial cells, and thus prevents colonisation, reduces the transmission, and finally lowers the incidence of human campylobacteriosis.
Keywords: Campylobacter jejuni, Lactobacillus spp., chicken and pig cell line, adhesion, invasion, translocation

Is tissue augmentation a reality in biosurgery? An experimental study of endothelial cell invasion into tissue filler
Tomaž Velnar, Vladimir Smrkolj, Marjan Rupnik, Lidija Gradišnik, 2013, original scientific article

Abstract: New therapeutic approaches for wound treatment are evolving. Non healing wounds in oncology and after trauma may be cured by a novel technique of tissue augmentation with soft tissue fillers. The principle resides in filling the wound with collagen filler in order to seal the defect and promote healing. Successful angiogenesis forms the basis of tissue filler survival and determines the outcome of the healing process. During this study, basic data about endothelial cell invasion into collagen-made substratum was collected that could be used for neoangiogenesis studies in tissue augmentation techniques for large wound defect treatment. In the in vitro assay, the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) grow into a three-dimensional framework of collagenous tissue fillers, forming the basic step for angiogenesis. After heparins were used as chemotactic agents, a typical bell-shaped relationship between chemotaxis and agent concentrations was found. Significant cell infiltration was present in the assays with chemotactic agents. These observations support the potential for tissue augmentation with soft tissue fillers that could be used in acute and chronic non healing traumatic and oncology wounds after extensive surgical resections and radiotherapy.
