The mycotoxin deoxynivalenol potentiates intestinal inflammation by Salmonella typhimurium in porcine ileal loops.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Both deoxynivalenol (DON) and nontyphoidal salmonellosis are emerging threats with possible hazardous effects on both human and animal health. The objective of this study was to examine whether DON at low but relevant concentrations interacts with the intestinal inflammation induced by Salmonella Typhimurium. METHODOLOGY:By using a porcine intestinal ileal loop model, we investigated whether intake of low concentrations of DON interacts with the early intestinal inflammatory response induced by Salmonella Typhimurium. RESULTS:A significant higher expression of IL-12 and TNF? and a clear potentiation of the expression of IL-1?, IL-8, MCP-1 and IL-6 was seen in loops co-exposed to 1 µg/mL of DON and Salmonella Typhimurium compared to loops exposed to Salmonella Typhimurium alone. This potentiation coincided with a significantly enhanced Salmonella invasion in and translocation over the intestinal epithelial IPEC-J2 cells, exposed to non-cytotoxic concentrations of DON for 24 h. Exposure of Salmonella Typhimurium to 0.250 µg/mL of DON affected the bacterial gene expression level of a limited number of genes, however none of these expression changes seemed to give an explanation for the increased invasion and translocation of Salmonella Typhimurium and the potentiated inflammatory response in combination with DON. CONCLUSION:These data imply that the intake of low and relevant concentrations of DON renders the intestinal epithelium more susceptible to Salmonella Typhimurium with a subsequent potentiation of the inflammatory response in the gut.

Project description:Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium causes enteric disease and compromises food safety. In pigs, the molecular response of the intestine to S. typhimurium has been traditionally characterized by in vitro models that do not reflect the actual immunological competence of the intestinal mucosa. In this work, we performed an oral S. typhimurium infection study to obtain insight into the in vitro response in three different sections (jejunum, ileum and colon) of the porcine intestine. For this, samples from one-month-old infected piglets were collected during a time course comprising 1, 2, and 6 days post inoculation to evaluate the intestinal response by quantifying the mRNA expression of gene coding for 28 innate immune system molecules using quantitative real-time PCR assays. In addition, samples from non-infected control animals were also employed to establish differences in the steady state gene expression between intestinal sections. The panel of quantified molecules included an assortment of cytokines, chemokines, pattern-recognition receptors, intracellular signaling molecules, transcription factors and antimicrobial molecules. Changes in gene expression occurred in the three different parts of the intestine and during the course of the S. typhimurium infection. Moreover, the high variation observed in expression patterns of genes coding for inflammatory mediators could indicate that each intestinal section responds differently to the infection. Thus, on the contrary to findings in the jejunum and colon, a down-regulation and lack of induction of some proinflammatory cytokine transcripts was observed in the ileum. Nevertheless, all chemoattractant cytokines assayed were up-regulated in the ileum and jejunum whereas only interleukin-8 and MIP-1alpha mRNA were over expressed in the colon. In conclusion, our results reveal regional differences in gene expression profiles along the porcine intestinal gut as well as regional differences in the inflammatory response to S. typhimurium infection. Taken together, these data should provide a basis for a complete understanding of the porcine intestinal response to bacterial infection.

Project description:Salmonella typhimurium (ST) is a common foodborne pathogen that severely affects the health of humans and livestock. Protocatechuic acid (PCA) has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial functions. Chickens were used to investigate the effect of PCA on the gut health infected with ST. A total of one hundred eighty, 1-d-old birds were randomly allocated into 3 treatments, each with 6 replicates per treatment and 10 chicks per replicate. Broiler chicks in the control and ST treatment were fed a basal diet, and birds in the PCA+ST treatment received the basal diet with 600 mg/kg PCA. On d 14 and 16 of the trial, broilers in ST and PCA+ST treatments received an oral dose of ST, while broilers in CON received an equal amount of PBS. The data were analyzed by the one-way ANOVA. Dietary PCA increased (P < 0.05) final body weight, average daily gain, and feed to gain ratio in ST-challenged Yellow broilers. Protocatechuic acid significantly alleviated ST-induced intestinal mucosal injury reflected in the decreased (P < 0.05) plasma activity of diamine oxidase and ileal apoptosis, with increased (P < 0.05) ileal villus height and villus height/crypt depth. Protocatechuic acid treatment significantly decreased (P < 0.05) ST-induced proinflammatory cytokine (Interleukin-1β, Interleukin-6, Tumor necrosis factor-α, and Interferon-β) content in ileum. Meanwhile, PCA treatment significantly increased (P < 0.05) the transcript abundances of claudin 1 (CLDN1), zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), and mucin 2 (MUC2) in ileum, all related to the intestinal barrier in ST-challenged Yellow broilers. Additionally, PCA also increased (P < 0.05) the diversity and richness of the cecal microflora as reflected by reduced (P < 0.05) abundance of Bacteroidota, Proteobacteria and Escherichia-Shigella, and increased (P < 0.05) abundance of Firmicutes and Lactobacillus in ST-challenged Yellow broilers. These findings indicate that PCA relieves ST-induced loss weight, intestinal barrier injury, inflammatory response, and improves intestinal microbiota composition in Yellow broilers.
