Résumé
In humans, the development of gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) occurs in the first years of life and can be influenced by diet. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of dietary choline on the development of gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). Three feeding trials were conducted in female Sprague-Dawley rats. Beginning 3 d before parturition (studies 1 and 3) or at day 10 of gestation (study 2), control dams consumed a 100% free choline (FC) diet until the end of the lactation period. In studies 1 and 3, test dams consumed a high-glycerophosphocholine (HGPC) diet [75% glycerophosphocholine (GPC), 12.5% phosphatidylcholine (PC), 12.5% FC] and a 100% PC diet, respectively (both 1 g of choline/kg diet). In study 2, test dams consumed a high-sphingomyelin (SM) and PC (SMPC) diet (34% SM, 37% PC, 17% GPC, 7% FC, 5% phosphocholine) or a 50% PC diet (50% PC, 25% FC, 25% GPC), both 1.7 g of choline/kg diet. Immune cell phenotypes and ex vivo cytokine production by mitogen-stimulated immune cells were measured. Feeding of the HGPC diet lowered T-cell IL-2 (44%), IFN-γ (34%), and TNF-α (55%) production in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) compared with control. Feeding both SMPC and 50% PC diets during the lactation and weaning periods increased IL-2 (54%) and TNF-α (46%) production after T-cell stimulation compared with control. There was a lower production of IL-2 (46%), IL-6 (66%), and TNF-α (45%), and a higher production of IL-10 (44%) in both SMPC and 50% PC groups following ovalbumin stimulation compared with control in MLNs. Feeding a diet containing 100% PC increased the production of IFN-γ by 52% after T-cell stimulation compared with control. Feeding a diet containing a mixture of choline forms with a high content of lipid-soluble forms during both the lactation and weaning periods enhances ex vivo immune responses from the GALT in female Sprague-Dawley offspring.

BACKGROUND
In humans, the development of gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) occurs in the first years of life and can be influenced by diet.
OBJECTIVES
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of dietary choline on the development of gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT).
METHODS
Three feeding trials were conducted in female Sprague-Dawley rats. Beginning 3 d before parturition (studies 1 and 3) or at day 10 of gestation (study 2), control dams consumed a 100% free choline (FC) diet until the end of the lactation period. In studies 1 and 3, test dams consumed a high-glycerophosphocholine (HGPC) diet [75% glycerophosphocholine (GPC), 12.5% phosphatidylcholine (PC), 12.5% FC] and a 100% PC diet, respectively (both 1 g of choline/kg diet). In study 2, test dams consumed a high-sphingomyelin (SM) and PC (SMPC) diet (34% SM, 37% PC, 17% GPC, 7% FC, 5% phosphocholine) or a 50% PC diet (50% PC, 25% FC, 25% GPC), both 1.7 g of choline/kg diet. Immune cell phenotypes and ex vivo cytokine production by mitogen-stimulated immune cells were measured.
RESULTS
Feeding of the HGPC diet lowered T-cell IL-2 (44%), IFN-γ (34%), and TNF-α (55%) production in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) compared with control. Feeding both SMPC and 50% PC diets during the lactation and weaning periods increased IL-2 (54%) and TNF-α (46%) production after T-cell stimulation compared with control. There was a lower production of IL-2 (46%), IL-6 (66%), and TNF-α (45%), and a higher production of IL-10 (44%) in both SMPC and 50% PC groups following ovalbumin stimulation compared with control in MLNs. Feeding a diet containing 100% PC increased the production of IFN-γ by 52% after T-cell stimulation compared with control.
CONCLUSION
Feeding a diet containing a mixture of choline forms with a high content of lipid-soluble forms during both the lactation and weaning periods enhances ex vivo immune responses from the GALT in female Sprague-Dawley offspring.
