Proton pump inhibitor induced collagen expression in colonocytes is associated with collagenous colitis.

ABSTRACT: To elucidate the role of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in collagenous disease, direct effect of PPI on colonocytes was examined.Collagenous colitis is a common cause of non-bloody, watery diarrhea. Recently, there has been increasing focus on the use of proton PPIs as a risk factor for developing collagenous colitis. Mouse CT26 colonic cells were treated with PPI and/or PPI-induced alkaline media. Expression of fibrosis-associated genes was examined by RT-PCR. In human materials, collagen expression was examined by immunohistochemistry.CT26 cells expressed a Na+-H+ exchanger gene (solute carrier family 9, member A2). Treatment with PPI and/or PPI-induced alkaline media caused growth inhibition and oxidative stress in CT26 cells. The treatment increased expression of fibrosis inducing factors, transforming growth factor ? and fibroblast growth factor 2. The treatment also decreased expression of a negative regulator of collagen production, replication factor C1, resulting in increased expression of collagen types III and IV in association with lipid peroxide. In biopsy specimens from patients with collagenous colitis, type III and IV collagen were increased. Increase of type III collagen was more pronounced in PPI-associated collagenous colitis than in non-PPI-associated disease.From these findings, the reaction of colonocytes to PPI might participate in pathogenesis of collagenous colitis.

Project description:BackgroundEsophageal eosinophilia can be proton pump inhibitor (PPI) resistant or responsive, representing 2 entities known as eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and PPI-responsive esophageal eosinophilia (PPI-REE), respectively. Although they present with similar clinical features, EoE is accepted to be an antigen-driven, TH2-associated allergic disorder, whereas the cause of PPI-REE remains a mystery.ObjectiveIn this study, our aim was to investigate the pathogenesis of PPI-REE by using a recently described EoE diagnostic panel (EDP) composed of a set of 94 esophageal transcripts and to determine whether PPI therapy reverses any esophageal transcriptional abnormalities.MethodsWe evaluated the EDP signature in biopsy samples obtained from adult and pediatric patients with PPI-REE from 4 institutions and compared the pre- and post-PPI therapy expression profiles of these subjects with those of patients with active EoE.ResultsThe EDP differentiated patients with EoE from control subjects with 100% accuracy among the 4 clinical sites. Bioinformatics analysis revealed largely overlapping transcriptomes between patients with PPI-REE and those with EoE, including the genes for eosinophil chemotaxis (eotaxin 3, CCL26), barrier molecules (desmoglein 1, DSG1), tissue remodeling (periostin, POSTN), and mast cells (carboxypeptidase A, CPA3). PPI monotherapy alone almost completely reversed the allergic inflammatory transcriptome of patients with PPI-REE. Furthermore, we identified a set of candidate genes to differentiate patients with EoE from those with PPI-REE before treatment.ConclusionThese findings provide definitive evidence that PPI-REE is a disease entity with significant molecular overlap with EoE, suggesting that many patients with PPI-REE represent a continuum of the same pathogenic allergic mechanisms that underlie EoE and thus might constitute a subphenotype of patients with EoE. The ability of PPI therapy to nearly entirely reverse gene expression associated with PPI-REE, particularly that associated with classic features of allergic inflammation, provides new insight into potential disease etiology and management strategies for patients with significant esophageal eosinophilia.

Project description:Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is associated with high mortality rates among patients with chronic illnesses. We aimed to identify avoidable risk factors to reduce the mortality rate in CDI patients. A total of 306 patients with diarrhea and clinical suspicion of CDI were enrolled, and fecal samples were gathered from 145 patients. CDI was diagnosed by fecal positivity for the C. difficile tcdB gene. Risk factors associated with death within 180 days were identified using Cox regression analysis. The fecal microbiota was determined through bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Of the patients with diarrhea, 240 (mean age, 69.1 years) were positive for CDI, and 91 died within 180 days. Multivariate analysis revealed that male sex, high Charlson Comorbidity Index and McCabe scores, high serum C-reactive protein levels, low hematocrit levels, low absolute eosinophil counts, high neutrophil/lymphocyte ratios, and daily use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) were independent risk factors for overall mortality. Cumulative analyses confirmed the association of duration-dependent PPI use with a high mortality rate. Fecal microbiota analyses showed associations of decreased relative abundance of Ruminococcus gnavus (P = 0.001) and Prevotella copri (P = 0.025) and increased relative abundance of Parabacteroides merdae (P = 0.001) and Clostridioides difficile (P = 0.040) with higher mortality rates in patients with CDI. Moreover, these microbiota changes were correlated with the duration of PPI use. IMPORTANCE This article demonstrates that daily PPI use was the only avoidable risk factor for death. With more extended PPI use, the mortality rate was higher in patients with CDI. Decreases in Prevotella copri and Ruminococcus gnavus and increases in Parabacteroides merdae and Clostridioides difficile in line with daily PPI use duration were significantly associated with the death of CDI patients. Our findings provide in-depth insights into the cautious use of PPIs in chronically ill patients with CDI.
