The resident pathobiont Staphylococcus xylosus in Nfkbiz-deficient skin accelerates spontaneous skin inflammation.

ABSTRACT: I?B?, which is encoded by the Nfkbiz gene, is a member of the nuclear I?B family of proteins that act as transcriptional regulators via association with NF-?B. Nfkbiz-deficient (Nfkbiz ^-/-) mice develop spontaneous dermatitis; however, the underlying mechanism has yet to be elucidated. In our study, we found higher skin pathology scores and more serum IgE antibodies and trans-epidermal water loss in Nfkbiz ^-/- than in Nfkbiz-sufficient (Nfkbiz ^+/-) mice. There was also greater expansion of IFN-?-, IL-17A-, and IL-22-secreting CD4⁺ T cells and of IL-17A-secreting ??⁺ T cells in the skin of Nfkbiz ^-/- mice than in with Nfkbiz ^+/- mice. Pyrosequencing analysis showed decreased diversity of resident bacteria and markedly expanded Staphylococcus (S.) xylosus in the skin of Nfkbiz ^-/- mice. Oral administration of antibiotics including cephalexin and enrofloxacin ameliorated skin inflammation. Topical application of S. xylosus also resulted in the expansion of IL-17A-secreting CD4⁺ T cells along with high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in the skin of Nfkbiz ^-/- mice. The expansion of commensal S. xylosus may be one cause of skin dysbiosis in Nfkbiz ^-/- mice and suggests that the Nfkbiz gene may play a regulatory role in the microbiota-skin immunity axis.

Project description:Fat inflammation may play an important role in comorbidities associated with obesity such as atherosclerosis.To first establish feasibility of fat transplantation, epididymal fat pads were harvested from wild-type C57BL/6J mice and transplanted into leptin-deficient (Lep(ob/ob)) mice. Fat transplantation produced physiological leptin levels and prevented obesity and infertility in Lep(ob/ob) mice. However, the transplanted fat depots were associated with chronically increased macrophage infiltration with characteristics identical to those observed in fat harvested from obese animals. The inflammation in transplanted adipose depots was regulated by the same factors that have been implicated in endogenous fat inflammation such as monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. To determine whether this inflamed adipose depot could affect vascular disease in mice, epididymal fat depots were transplanted into atherosclerosis-prone apolipoprotein E-deficient ApoE(-/-) mice. Plasma from ApoE(-/-) mice receiving fat transplants contained increased leptin, resistin, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 compared with plasma from sham-operated ApoE(-/-) mice. Furthermore, mice transplanted with visceral fat developed significantly more atherosclerosis compared with sham-operated animals, whereas transplants with subcutaneous fat did not affect atherosclerosis despite a similar degree of fat inflammation. Treatment of transplanted ApoE(-/-) mice with pioglitazone decreased macrophage content of the transplanted visceral fat pad and reduced plasma monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. Importantly, pioglitazone also reduced atherosclerosis triggered by inflammatory visceral fat but had no protective effect on atherosclerosis in the absence of the visceral fat transplantation.Our results indicate that visceral adipose-related inflammation accelerates atherosclerosis in mice. Drugs such as thiazolidinediones might be a useful strategy to specifically attenuate the vascular disease induced by visceral inflammatory fat.
