Mitotic spindle positioning protein (MISP) deficiency exacerbates dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice.

ABSTRACT: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is classified into two types: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. In IBD, the imbalance between the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines prevents recovery from the inflammatory state, resulting in chronic inflammation in the colon. The mitotic spindle positioning protein (MISP) is localized to the apical membrane in the colon. In this study, we observed increased expression of MISP in the intestinal epithelial cells in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. MISP-deficient mice receiving DSS showed significant exacerbation of colitis (e.g., weight loss, loss of the crypts). The intestinal epithelial cells of the MISP-deficient mice showed a trend towards decreased cell proliferation after DSS treatment. Reverse transcription followed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction revealed that the expression levels of Tgfb1, an anti-inflammatory cytokine, were significantly reduced in the colon of MISP-deficient mice compared with the wild-type mice regardless of DSS treatment. These findings indicate that MISP may play a role in the recovery of the colon after inflammation through its anti-inflammatory and proliferative activities, suggesting that MISP may be a new therapeutic target for IBD.

Project description:BackgroundG protein-coupled receptor 35 (GPR35) is an orphan receptor and is vastly expressed in immune cells and gastrointestinal cells, suggesting the potential physiological importance of GPR35 in these cells. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the lack of GPR35 expression in the colon mucosa exacerbates the severity of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced experimental colitis in mice.MethodsColitis was induced in GPR35 wild-type (GPR35+/+) and GPR35 knockout (GPR35-/-) mice through the administration of DSS in drinking water for 5 days followed by regular facility water for 1 day. Induction of colitis was evaluated by measuring relative body weight loss, clinical illness scores, and morphological changes in the colon. Abolition of Gpr35 gene expression in the colon mucosa of GPR35-/- mice was confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). Gene expressions of inflammatory and tissue remodeling cytokines were detected by qPCR. Human colorectal epithelial Caco cells were transfected with siRNA against GPR35 before treated with 1% DSS in vitro. Protein expressions were measured using Western blot.ResultsGPR35-/- mice receiving DSS showed a significantly worsened colitis disease with profound loss of body weight and a considerable amount of severe clinical illness compared to GPR35+/+ mice that received DSS. The histology of colon sections from GPR35-/- mice showed extensive pathological changes including submucosal edema, diffuse ulcerations, and evidence of complete loss of crypts compared to wild-type mice. The mean histopathological score was significantly higher in GPR35-/- mice as compared to GPR35+/+ mice. The qPCR data revealed significant expression of pro-inflammatory and tissue remodeling cytokines in GPR35-/- colon mucosa, including IL-1β, CXCL1, CXCL2, CCL2, HMGB1, TGFβ1, TGFβ3, MMP1/9/12. The protein expressions of Zonula occludens-1, E-cadherin, Claudin1 were decreased upon knocking down GPR35 with or without 1% DSS treatment.ConclusionsOur experimental data suggest that lack of GPR35 resulted in worsened disease outcome in DSS-induced experimental colitis, indicating that GPR35 could play a crucial role in protecting from colonic inflammation and serve as a therapeutic target.

Project description:Akkermansia muciniphila has been proved to play a crucial role in the progression of colitis, but its underlying mechanism remains inconclusive. In this study, we aim to investigate the effect of A. muciniphila on the development of acute colitis and explore the underlying mechanism. We found that the fecal level of A. muciniphila was decreased in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients compared to the healthy people in the GMrepo database. Oral administration of A. muciniphila strain BAA-835 significantly ameliorated the symptoms in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced acute colitis, evidenced by decreased body weight loss, colon length shortening, and colon histological inflammatory score. In addition, the number of goblet cells and the mucin family were enhanced after A. muciniphila treatment. Furthermore, proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) had a downward trend. Mechanistically, the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1 p20, and IL-1β p17 were upregulated in A. muciniphila-treated mice. Additionally, the colon tissues from high-A. muciniphila UC patients had a higher NLRP3 expression than that from low-A. muciniphila UC patients. Moreover, the upregulation of NLRP3 was observed in mouse macrophage Raw264.7 cells and bone marrow-derived macrophage (BMDM) cells after incubation with A. muciniphila. To clarify whether the protective effect of A. muciniphila in colitis depends on NLRP3, we performed the NLRP3-deficient assay in NLRP3-/- mice in vivo. The evidence showed that NLRP3 deficiency eliminated the protective effects of A. muciniphila in acute colitis. In conclusion, A. muciniphila alleviates DSS-induced acute colitis by NLRP3 activation, which enriches the mechanism and provides a new prospect for the probiotic-based treatment of colitis. IMPORTANCE The gut microbiota and host immune response interaction influences the progression of intestinal inflammatory disease. As a well-recognized next-generation probiotic, Akkermansia muciniphila has been proved to play a crucial role in the progression of colitis, but its underlying mechanism remains inconclusive. We found that oral administration of A. muciniphila strain BAA-835 significantly ameliorated the symptoms of acute colitis. Mechanistically, the expression of NLRP3 was upregulated in the A. muciniphila group, and the protective effect of A. muciniphila in colitis depends on NLRP3 activation. This enriches the mechanism and provides a new prospect for the probiotic-based treatment of colitis, which would promote a deeper understanding of the complex characteristics of A. muciniphila and provide guidance for the treatment of human colitis in the future.

Project description:Alterations in the intestinal lymphatic network are pathological processes as related to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this study, we demonstrated that reduction in inflammation-induced lymphangiogenesis ameliorates experimental acute colitis. A soluble and stable angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) variant, COMP-Ang1, possesses anti-inflammatory and angiogenic effects. We investigated the effects of COMP-Ang1 on an experimental colonic inflammation model. Experimental colitis was induced in mice by administering 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) via drinking water. We determined body weight, disease activity indices, histopathological scores, lymphatic density, anti-ER-HR3 staining, and the expression of members of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family and various inflammatory cytokines in the mice. The density of lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor 1 (LYVE-1) and VEGFR-3-positive lymphatic vessels increased in mice with DSS-induced colitis. We observed that COMP-Ang1-treated mice showed less weight loss, fewer clinical signs of colitis, and longer colons than Ade-DSS-treated mice. COMP-Ang1 also significantly reduced the density of LYVE-1-positive lymphatic vessels and the disruption of colonic architecture that is normally associated with colitis and repressed the immunoregulatory response. Further, COMP-Ang1 treatment reduced both M1 and M2 macrophage infiltration into the inflamed colon, which involved inhibition of VEGF-C and D expression. Thus, COMP-Ang1, which acts by reducing inflammation-induced lymphangiogenesis, may be used as a novel therapeutic for the treatment of IBD and other inflammatory diseases.Key messagesCOMP-Ang1 decreases inflammatory-induced lymphangiogenesis in experimental acute colitis. COMP-Ang1 improves the symptom of DSS-induced inflammatory response. COMP-Ang1 reduces the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in inflamed colon. COMP-Ang1 reduces the expression of VEGFs in inflamed colon. COMP-Ang1 prevents infiltration of macrophages in a DSS-induced colitis model.
