Disease relevance of Colostrum

 

Psychiatry related information on Colostrum

  • Colostrinin: a proline-rich polypeptide (PRP) complex isolated from ovine colostrum for treatment of Alzheimer's disease. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study [6].
 

High impact information on Colostrum

  • Oligomeric, J-chain-containing immunoglobulins were observed to be transferred selectively from serum into colostrum [7].
  • Fat globule membranes have been isolated from bovine colostrum and bovine milk by the dispersion of the fat in sucrose solutions at 4 degrees C and fractionation by centrifugation through discontinuous sucrose gradients [8].
  • Colostrum and milk are rich sources of the vitamin and supply the nursing pig with ascorbic acid [9].
  • Heterogeneous molecular forms of apelin corresponding to apelin-36 and [<Glu(65)]apelin-13 were produced in bovine colostrum [10].
  • To determine the shortest motif sequence required for high level mucin-type O-glycosylation, we prepared more than 100 synthetic peptides and assayed in vitro O-GalNAc transfer to serine or threonine in these peptides using a bovine colostrum UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyl transferase (O-GalNAcT) [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Colostrum

 

Biological context of Colostrum

  • Bovine beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-m), the light chain of the histocompatibility antigen, was isolated in crystalline form from colostrum [16].
  • NH2-terminal amino acid sequence obtained from a UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyl-transferase (GalNAc-transferase) isolated from bovine colostrum was used for the construction of synthetic oligonucleotide primers [17].
  • The decrease in the long-chain PUFA content observed from colostrum to mature milk and the concomitant occurrence of a precursor-product relationship between the linoleate and its long-chain PUFA are consistent with the mobilization of a preformed long-chain PUFA pool during early lactation [18].
  • PLP concentrations in cord blood and maternal plasma at 2 d postpartum and vitamin B-6 concentration in colostrum were positively correlated with the amount of PN.HCl supplementation prenatally (r = 0.71, p less than 0.001; r = 0.74, p less than 0.001; and r = 0.78, p less than 0.001, respectively) [19].
  • Only native and conformationally intact lactoferrin from bovine or human milk, colostrum, or serum could completely block HCMV infection (IC50 = 35-100 micrograms/mL) [20].
 

Anatomical context of Colostrum

  • In the infants with CMA (n = 96-100), the concentration of TGF-beta1 in colostrum was positively correlated with IgA antibodies to beta-lactoglobulin and IgG antibodies to alpha-casein and whole formula and negatively with the diameter of a skin prick test response to CM and lymphocyte stimulation indices to alpha-casein and beta-lactoglobulin [21].
  • Control proteins included purified secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) from human colostrum, human milk lactoferrin, and chicken-egg lysozyme [22].
  • A secretory immune response (manifested by the presence of specific IgA antibody to S. mutans in colostrum and milk) was elicited (i) in rat dams locally injected, in the region of the mammary gland, with heat-killed S. mutans antigen, and (ii) in other rat dams that were provided formalin-killed S. mutans in their drinking water [23].
  • Here, we demonstrate that CD15+ colostrum neutrophils express IgA Fc receptors (Fc alphaR, CD89) at levels similar to those of blood neutrophils [24].
  • Maternal vaccination with polyvalent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine boosts the capacity of colostrum to inhibit adherence of pneumococci to pharyngeal epithelial cells [25].
 

Associations of Colostrum with chemical compounds

  • Furthermore, allotypic differences of C3 between mother and fetus or neonates provide evidence that murine C3 is synthesized by fetus or neonate and is not transferred from mother transplacentally nor via colostrum [26].
  • A proline-rich protein has been isolated from sheep colostrum [27].
  • Treatments with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H and F indicate that the colostrum enzyme is a glycoprotein containing two N-linked oligosaccharides [1].
  • In synthetic peptides the bovine colostrum GalNAc-transferase glycosylates threonine about 35 times faster than serine [28].
  • Occurrence of N-acetylglucosamine 6-phosphate in complex carbohydrates. Characterization of a phosphorylated sialyl oligosaccharide from bovine colostrum [29].
 

Gene context of Colostrum

  • The concentrations of IL-6, IL-10, and transforming growth factor-beta, which are all involved in IgA synthesis, correlated with each other and with total IgA concentrations in colostrum [30].
  • The concentrations of IL-4 were higher in colostrum from allergic than nonallergic mothers, and similar trends were seen for IL-5 and IL-13 [30].
  • On the other hand, most of the IGF I, but not IGF II, in day 1 colostrum appears to stem from the maternal circulation [31].
  • The pronounced differences between the IGFBP patterns of colostrum and early maternal serum suggest that IGFBP-2 does not pass from maternal blood into colostrum but is produced and secreted by mammary tissue itself [31].
  • Hepatic IGF-I mRNA levels and plasma IGF-I concentrations in veal calves, fattened castrated bulls and in intact bulls were 4 to 8 times higher than in 8-d old calves and were 2 to 3 times higher in calves fed colostrum than in calves fed only milk replacer [32].
