Epithelial Histone Deacetylase 3 Instructs Intestinal Immunity by Coordinating Local Lymphocyte Activation.

ABSTRACT: Mucosal tissues are constantly in direct contact with diverse beneficial and pathogenic microbes, highlighting the need for orchestrating complex microbial signals to sustain effective host defense. Here, we show an essential role for intestinal epithelial cell expression of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) in responding to pathogenic microbes and activating protective innate immunity. Mice lacking HDAC3 in intestinal epithelial cells were more susceptible to Citrobacter rodentium when under tonic stimulation by the commensal microbiota. This impaired host defense reflected significantly decreased IFN? production by intraepithelial CD8+ T cells early during infection. Further, HDAC3 was necessary for infection-induced epithelial expression of the IFN?-inducing factor IL-18, and administration of IL-18 restored IFN? activity to resident CD8+ T cells and reduced infection. Thus, HDAC3 mediates communication between intestinal epithelial cells and resident lymphocytes, revealing that epithelial priming by an epigenetic modifier may direct mucosal regulation of host defense against pathogenic microbes.

Project description:BackgroundSevere burns, trauma and shock can cause intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction, which can lead to intestinal endotoxemia and even sepsis and multi-organ dysfunction. Many studies have shown that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) can improve cell tolerance to hypoxia and inflammation, thus protecting the functions of important organs in the body, and at the same time, inhibiting the degradation of tight junction (TJ) proteins, protecting the intercellular barrier, and reducing tissue edema and organ damage. However, the mechanism is unclear.MethodsEighty male Sprague-Dawley rats (weighing 280-300 g) with a 50% total body surface area full-thickness dermal burn were randomly assigned to 4 groups (20 rats/group): sham control (SC group), scald + normal saline (SN group), scald + 2-methyl-2pentenoic acid (2M2P group), and scald + valproic acid (VPA group). After scalding, we measured the following parameters at various time intervals postburn injury: intestinal mucosal injury score, diamine oxidase (DAO) activity, intestinal protein expression of acetyl histone H3 at K9 (Ac-H3K9), hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), erythropoietin (EPO), zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) content, nitric oxide (NO) content, and intestinal mucosal blood flow (IMBF).ResultsIntestinal mucosa showed significant morphologic injury at 4 and 8 hours after scalding that was attenuated by VPA. DAO activity in the VPA group was significantly decreased compared with the other scald groups. At 4 and 8 hours after scalding, VPA enhanced Ac-H3K9 and ZO-1 expression and decreased HIF-1α and EPO expression in the intestine compared with the other scald groups. At 4 and 8 hours after scalding, eNOS and NO protein content and IMBF in the VPA group were markedly increased compared with the other scald groups.ConclusionsHDACIs attenuated intestinal mucosal injury in fatally scalded rats. This may have involved VPA enhancing Ac-H3K9 and ZO-1 expression, inhibiting HIF-1α and EPO expression and inducing eNOS and NO increments.
