13:00 - SEMINAR - Does Breastfeeding impact on post-natal immune development and long term susceptibility to allergy? : School of Human Sciences, Seminar Series
|
More Information
|
Breast milk protects against infant infections, increases intelligence quotient, and probably reduces overweight and diabetes in later life 1. In contrast, protective effect of breast milk on development of allergies is far from being established 1.
The main objective of our research is the identification of factors which could endow breastfeeding with the capacity to prevent allergic disease as potently as it does for infectious disease.
Our working hypothesis is that maternal milk composition has not adapted to the needs of allergy prevention due to the recent and rapid increase of allergy. Modulation of breast milk composition may be the best strategy to counteract allergy development. In particular, we propose that breastmilk factors could impact on long term allergy susceptibility by affecting oral tolerance induction to allergens2.
Our data in mice have highlighted that neonates are intrinsically refractory to oral immune tolerance induction3, 4. In contrast to adults, neonates require exogenous factors, such TGF-b and IgG, to be responsive to tolerance induction to orally administered antigen3, 4.. These immune-modulatory factors are physiologically brought by maternal milk and their variable levels, as well as of allergens, may explain inconsistent findings on prevention of allergy by breastfeeding2, 5, 6. We further demonstrated that the mechanisms of oral tolerance physiologically develop during the first post-natal weeks to become independent of maternal factors7, 8. Vitamin A in maternal milk was found to be essential for this physiological maturation process7, 8. Finally, we recently observed, both in the mice and in human birth cohorts, that some respiratory allergens such as from house dust mite, can be found in breast milk and increase the risk of allergic disease in offspring9, 10. Protease from house dust mite induce a Th2 gut immune imbalance in the neonate that prevents oral tolerance induction (Rekima et al, in revision).
The identification of factors in early life that condition gut immune ontogeny should help to improve strategies of prevention of both allergic2 and infectious disease11, 12 .

Biography
Dr Amanda Meyer completed her Bachelor of Science double majoring in Anatomy & Human Biology and Physiology at UWA with first class honours in 2001. She completed her PhD between the School of Women's and Infants' Health and the School of Anatomy & Human Biology at UWA in 2006.
Amanda started Anatomy lecturing in February 2012 and since that time has coordinated 23 human gross anatomy units at Murdoch University. Since returning to UWA in November 2017, Amanda is teaching into and coordinating ANHB2217 Human Neurobiology & IMED1001 Form & Function and coordinating medical anatomy and teaching into the medical units IMED3001, IMED3002, IMED4443, IMED4211. Amanda is serving her second year on the council of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Clinical Anatomists. She is also a committee member for the Federative International Committee for Equality and Diversity in Anatomy and a financial member of the American Association of Anatomists. This year, Amanda joined the editorial board of the Anatomical Sciences Education Journal which is a Q1 journal in Anatomy.
