Regulation and function of adiponectin in the intestinal epithelial cells in response to Trichinella spiralis infection.

ABSTRACT: Besides metabolic homeostasis regulation, adipokines are recently emerged as important players in regulating immunity and inflammation. Helminth infection has known to modulate circulating adipokine secretion; however, the regulation and function of adipokines in response to helminth infection is still unclear. Here, we investigated the regulation and function of adiponectin during T. spiralis infection. While there was no change in circulating level of adiponectin, we found an increased adiponectin, but not leptin expression in the small intestine. Interestingly, the intestinal adiponectin expression was strongly associated with the expression of epithelial cell-derived cytokines IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP following infection. Indeed, mice deficiency of IL-25 receptor exhibited no intestinal adiponectin induction upon helminth infection. Interestingly, IL-25-induced adiponectin modulated intestinal epithelial cell responses by enhancing occludin and CCL17 expression. Using LPS-induced intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunctions in a Caco-2 cell monolayer model, adiponectin pretreatment enhanced a Transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and occludin expression. More importantly, adiponectin pretreatment of Caco2 cells prevented T. spiralis larval invasion in vitro and its administration during infection enhanced intestinal IL-13 secretion and worm expulsion in vivo. Altogether, our data suggest that intestinal adiponectin expression induced by helminth infection through the regulation of IL-25 promotes worm clearance and intestinal barrier function.

Project description:Trichinellosis, a helminthic zoonosis, exhibits a cosmopolitan distribution and is a public health concern. In previous studies, it was reported that the exosomes secreted by Trichinella spiralis larvae (TsExos) largely affected cell biological activities. miRNAs, as exosome-delivered cargoes, affect the biological activities of the host by targeting genes. The present study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms by which miRNAs interact with intestinal epithelial cells. First, a miRNA library of TsExos was constructed; then, based on high-throughput miRNA sequencing results, miR-153 and its predicted target genes, namely, Agap2, Bcl2 and Pten, were selected for follow-up studies. The dual-luciferase reporter assays revealed that miR-153 directly targeted Bcl2 and Pten. Furthermore, real-time qPCR and Western blotting revealed that only Bcl2 was downregulated by TsExo-delivered miR-153 in porcine intestinal epithelial cells (IPEC-J2). Bcl2, an important antiapoptotic protein, plays an essential role in cell apoptosis as a common intersecting molecule of various signal transduction pathways. Therefore, we hypothesized that miR-153 derived from TsExos causes cell apoptosis by targeting Bcl2. The results suggested that miR-153 could induce apoptosis, reduce mitochondrial membrane potential, affect cell proliferation, and cause damage and substantial oxidative stress. Furthermore, miR-153 coincubated with IPEC-J2 cells stimulated the accumulation of the proapoptotic proteins Bax and Bad, which belong to the Bcl2 family of proteins, and the apoptosis-implementing proteins Caspase 9 and Caspase 3. Moreover, studies have suggested that miR-153 can promote apoptosis by regulating the MAPK and p53 signalling pathways involved in apoptosis. Thus, exosome-mediated miR-153 delivery secreted by T. spiralis could induce apoptosis and affect the MAPK and p53 signalling pathways by downregulating Bcl2 in IPEC-J2 cells. The study highlights the mechanisms underlying the invasion of T. spiralis larva.
