N2 - Intestinal microparticle uptake is important for drug delivery, environmental pollution and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. This paper explores further whether uptake occurs at mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) via the microfold (M) cells of Peyer's patch domes or through villous epithelium. It does this by comparing the results of exposure of either severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice (lacking MALT) or normal BALBc mice, to oral gavage with 2 microm fluorescent latex microparticles. At 5 and 30 min after gavage, full circumference samples along the small intestine were processed for fluorescence microscopy and microparticle numbers were collected for surface and tissue sites. Uptake occurred in both BALBc and SCID mice within 5 min of particle administration and increased further in the following 25 min. In BALBc mice, almost all particles (96%) are in non-MALT sites in MALT circumference samples, with very few at the domes: uptake was also substantial in entirely villous samples. In SCID mice, particle numbers were only slightly lower than those of the BALBc mice, and occurred exclusively by the villous route. These findings confirm that the villous uptake route must be considered when assessing the extent of the dose delivered following pharmaceutical or toxicological oral exposure to microparticles.
