An earlier study revealed that 4-day-old mice but not older mice were infected with invasive Shigella strains Here we attempted to determine the underlying mechanism that Induces inflammation in the intestines of neonate mice after oral Shigella infection Wild-type BALB/c mice of different ages (7 14 and 35 days old) were orally administered GFP-expressing Shigella flexneri 5a M90T strain (5 x 10(9) CFU) and analyzed for colonization 6 h following infection We found that Shigella localized in the epithe hum lamina propria and crypt regions of the small intestines of 7-day-old BALB/c mice Microarray anal ysis revealed that expression levels of cryptdin and various types of cryptdin related mRNA (e g cryptrs 2 -5 -7 -12 and lysozyme) in the small intestines were significantly lower in 7-day-old than in older mice regardless of Shigella infection status Interestingly matrix metalloprotease-7 (matrilysin)-deficient (MAT(-/-)) mice of B6 background had more colonies and more severe symptoms of inflammation in the intestines than did wild-type B6 mice after oral Shigella challenge This suggests that cryptdin-related antimicrobial molecules are indispensable for efficient protection against oral Shigella infection (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc All rights reserved
