LNCGM1082 in Gut Epithelial Cells Promotes Expulsion of Infected Epithelial Cells and Release of IL-18.

ABSTRACT: Inflammasome NLRC4 (NLR family CARD domain containing 4) can protect mucosal barriers such as intestine from invading bacterial pathogens. However, it was incompletely clear how NLRC4 was activated in intestinal epithelial cells. In this study, we demonstrated that LNCGM1082 could mediate the activation of NLRC4 via binding NLRC4 with protein kinase C (PKC)δ. LNCGM1082 knockout (KO) mice had reduced resistance against Salmonella Typhimurium infection, as well as impaired expulsion of infected gut epithelial cells and release of IL-18 upon exposure to S. Typhimurium. Similar to NLRC4 KO and PKCδ knockdown gut organoids, there also was impaired expulsion of gut epithelial cells and release of IL-18 in LNCGM1082 KO gut organoids. Furthermore, there also was reduced activation of caspase-1 and caspase-8 in these LNCGM1082 KO, NLRC4 KO, and PKCδ knockdown gut organoids upon exposure to S. Typhimurium. Our results show that LNCGM1082 in the ICEs plays a critical role in mediating activation of NLRC4 through binding NLRC4 and PKCδ and promoting expulsion of infected epithelial cells and release of IL-18 upon exposure to bacteria such as S. Typhimurium.

Project description:Some of the densest microbial ecosystems in nature thrive within the intestines of humans and other animals. To protect mucosal tissues and maintain immune tolerance, animal hosts actively sequester bacteria within the intestinal lumen. In response, numerous bacterial pathogens and pathobionts have evolved strategies to subvert spatial restrictions, thereby undermining immune homeostasis. However, in many cases, it is unclear how escaping host spatial control benefits gut bacteria and how changes in intestinal biogeography are connected to inflammation. A better understanding of these processes could uncover new targets for treating microbiome-mediated inflammatory diseases. To this end, we investigated the spatial organization and dynamics of bacterial populations within the intestine using larval zebrafish and live imaging. We discovered that a proinflammatory Vibrio symbiont native to zebrafish governs its own spatial organization using swimming motility and chemotaxis. Surprisingly, we found that Vibrio's motile behavior does not enhance its growth rate but rather promotes its persistence by enabling it to counter intestinal flow. In contrast, Vibrio mutants lacking motility traits surrender to host spatial control, becoming aggregated and entrapped within the lumen. Consequently, nonmotile and nonchemotactic mutants are susceptible to intestinal expulsion and experience large fluctuations in absolute abundance. Further, we found that motile Vibrio cells induce expression of the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF?) in gut-associated macrophages and the liver. Using inducible genetic switches, we demonstrate that swimming motility can be manipulated in situ to modulate the spatial organization, persistence, and inflammatory activity of gut bacterial populations. Together, our findings suggest that host spatial control over resident microbiota plays a broader role in regulating the abundance and persistence of gut bacteria than simply protecting mucosal tissues. Moreover, we show that intestinal flow and bacterial motility are potential targets for therapeutically managing bacterial spatial organization and inflammatory activity within the gut.
