Interactions between ingested kaolinite and the intestinal mucosa in rat: proteomic and cellular evidences

Abstract: Although some of the effects of clay ingestion by humans and animals, such as gastrointestinal wellness and the increase in food efficiency are well known, the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Therefore, the interactions between the intestinal mucosa and kaolinite particles and their effects on mucosal morphology were observed using light microscopy (LM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), conventional (CSEM) and environmental (ESEM) scanning electron microscopy combined with an EDX mic… Show more

“…Interestingly, the mineral content of kaolinite‐complemented animals was higher than for animals refed with only the normal food ration. Therefore, clay elements such as aluminum and silicium may cross the intestinal barrier, as already hypothesized [12]. However, this could also result from clay contamination from the gut lumen, despite careful prior washing of samples.…”

“…Isoelectric focusing was performed on samples containing 700 μg of proteins, 7 m urea, 2 m thiourea, 4% CHAPS (w/v), 20 m m Tris–HCl pH 8, 20 m m DTT, 0.2% (v/v) Biolytes ® 3/10 ampholytes (Bio‐Rad, Marnes‐la‐Coquette, France) and 0.005% (v/v) bromophenol blue as previously described [13]. Second dimension was carried out on 10% SDS–PAGE.…”

“…More research has yielded high throughput mass spectrometric proteomic technologies that can simultaneously detect hundreds of proteins [20, 21]. A proteomic analysis of the rat small intestinal proteome showed the presence of previously unrecognized proteins involved in various functions including the absorption and transport of nutrients and the maintenance of cell structure, as well as intestinal molecular chaperones [22]. There remains a great need to pursue proteomic technology to elucidate the beneficial effects of NSPEs in the GI tract mucosa.…”
