Advanced application of bovine intestinal epithelial cell line for evaluating regulatory effect of lactobacilli against heat-killed enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli-mediated inflammation.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Previously, a bovine intestinal epithelial cell line (BIE cells) was successfully established. This work hypothesized that BIE cells are useful in vitro model system for the study of interactions of microbial- or pathogen-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs or PAMPs) with bovine intestinal epithelial cells and for the selection of immunoregulatory lactic acid bacteria (LAB). RESULTS: All toll-like receptor (TLR) genes were expressed in BIE cells, being TLR4 one of the most strongly expressed. We demonstrated that heat-stable PAMPs of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) significantly enhanced the production of IL-6, IL-8, IL-1? and MCP-1 in BIE cells by activating both NF-?B and MAPK pathways. We evaluated the capacity of several lactobacilli strains to modulate heat-stable ETEC PAMPs-mediated inflammatory response in BIE cells. Among these strains evaluated, Lactobacillus casei OLL2768 attenuated heat-stable ETEC PAMPs-induced pro-inflammatory response by inhibiting NF-?B and p38 signaling pathways in BIE cells. Moreover, L. casei OLL2768 negatively regulated TLR4 signaling in BIE cells by up-regulating Toll interacting protein (Tollip) and B-cell lymphoma 3-encoded protein (Bcl-3). CONCLUSIONS: BIE cells are suitable for the selection of immunoregulatory LAB and for studying the mechanisms involved in the protective activity of immunobiotics against pathogen-induced inflammatory damage. In addition, we showed that L. casei OLL2768 functionally modulate the bovine intestinal epithelium by attenuating heat-stable ETEC PAMPs-induced inflammation. Therefore L. casei OLL2768 is a good candidate for in vivo studying the protective effect of LAB against intestinal inflammatory damage induced by ETEC infection or heat-stable ETEC PAMPs challenge in the bovine host.

Project description:Diarrheal illness contributes to malnutrition, stunted growth, impaired cognitive development, and high morbidity rates in children worldwide. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major contributor to this diarrheal disease burden. ETEC cause disease in the small intestine by means of colonization factors and by production of a heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) and/or a small non-immunogenic heat-stable enterotoxin (ST). Overall, the majority of ETEC produce both ST and LT. LT induces secretion via an enzymatically active A-subunit (LT-A) and a pentameric, cell-binding B-subunit (LT-B). The importance of anti-LT antibodies has been demonstrated in multiple clinical and epidemiological studies, and a number of potential ETEC vaccine candidates have included LT-B as an important immunogen. However, there is limited information about the potential contribution of LT-A to development of protective immunity. In the current study, we evaluate the immune response against the A-subunit of LT as well as the A-subunit's potential as a protective antigen when administered alone or in combination with the B-subunit of LT. We evaluated human sera from individuals challenged with a prototypic wild-type ETEC strain as well as sera from individuals living in an ETEC endemic area for the presence of anti-LT, anti-LT-A and anti-LT-B antibodies. In both cases, a significant number of individuals intentionally or endemically infected with ETEC developed antibodies against both LT subunits. In addition, animals immunized with the recombinant proteins developed robust antibody responses that were able to neutralize the enterotoxic and cytotoxic effects of native LT by blocking binding and entry into cells (anti-LT-B) or the intracellular enzymatic activity of the toxin (anti-LT-A). Moreover, antibodies to both LT subunits acted synergistically to neutralize the holotoxin when combined. Taken together, these data support the inclusion of both LT-A and LT-B in prospective vaccines against ETEC.

Project description:Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) are endemic in low-resource settings and cause robust secretory diarrheal disease in children less than five years of age. ETEC cause secretory diarrhea by producing the heat-stable (ST) and/or heat-labile (LT) enterotoxins. Recent studies have shown that ETEC can be carried asymptomatically in children and adults, but how ETEC subvert mucosal immunity to establish intestinal residency remains unclear. Macrophages are innate immune cells that can be exploited by enteric pathogens to evade mucosal immunity, so we interrogated the ability of ETEC and other E. coli pathovars to survive within macrophages. Using gentamicin protection assays, we show that ETEC H10407 is phagocytosed more readily than other ETEC and non-ETEC isolates. Furthermore, we demonstrate that ETEC H10407, at high bacterial burdens, causes nitrite accumulation in macrophages, which is indicative of a proinflammatory macrophage nitric oxide killing response. However, at low bacterial burdens, ETEC H10407 remains viable within macrophages for an extended period without nitrite accumulation. We demonstrate that LT, but not ST, intoxication decreases the number of ETEC phagocytosed by macrophages. Furthermore, we now show that macrophages exposed simultaneously to LPS and LT produce IL-33, which is a cytokine implicated in promoting macrophage alternative activation, iron recycling, and intestinal repair. Lastly, iron restriction using deferoxamine induces IL-33 receptor (IL-33R) expression and allows ETEC to escape macrophages. Altogether, these data demonstrate that LT provides ETEC with the ability to decrease the perceived ETEC burden and suppresses the initiation of inflammation. Furthermore, these data suggest that host IL-33/IL-33R signaling may augment pathways that promote iron restriction to facilitate ETEC escape from macrophages. These data could help explain novel mechanisms of immune subversion that may contribute to asymptomatic ETEC carriage.
