The administration of amnion-derived multipotent cell secretome ST266 protects against necrotizing enterocolitis in mice and piglets

ABSTRACT: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the leading cause of death from gastrointestinal disease in premature infants and is steadily rising in frequency. Patients who develop NEC have a very high mortality, illustrating the importance of developing novel prevention or treatment approaches. We and others have shown that NEC arises in part from exaggerated signaling via the bacterial receptor toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) on the intestinal epithelium, leading to widespread intestinal inflammation and intestinal ischemia. Strategies that limit the extent of TLR4 signaling, including the administration of amniotic fluid, can reduce NEC development in mouse and piglet models. We now seek to test the hypothesis that a secretome derived from amnion-derived cells can prevent or treat NEC in pre-clinical models of this disease via a process involving TLR4 inhibition. In support of this hypothesis, we show that the administration of this secretome, named ST266, to mice or piglets can prevent and treat experimental NEC. We further show that the protective effects of ST266 occurred in the presence of marked TLR4 inhibition in the intestinal epithelium of cultured epithelial cells, intestinal organoids, and human intestinal samples ex vivo. Strikingly, RNA-seq analysis of the intestinal epithelium in mice reveal the ST266 upregulates critical genes associated with gut remodeling, intestinal immunity, gut differentiation and energy metabolism. These findings show that the amnion-derived secretome ST266 can prevent and treat NEC, suggesting the possibility of novel therapeutic approaches for patients with this devastating disease.

Data in support of plasma proteomics study forearly markers of antibiotics dependent necrotising enterocolitis in preterm pigs

Project description:Most hospitalized preterm infants receive antibiotics (AB) in the first days of life to treat or prevent systemic infections. Short-term, early AB treatment may also prevent against the microbiota-dependent serious gut disorder, necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). However, it remains a challenge to predict or early detection of NEC in the first weeks of life and few diagnostic markers exist. Using preterm piglets as models for infants, we hypothesised that proteomic profiling could be used to identify new early plasma biomarkers of NEC with or without prior AB treatment. Preterm newborn pigs were treated with saline (CON) or antibiotics (ampicillin, gentamicin, and metronidazole), given enterally (ENT) or parenterally (PAR), and fed formula for four days to induce NEC. The gut was collected for scoring of NEC lesions and blood was collected for haematology and plasma proteomics

IL-22 signaling attenuates necrotizing enterocolitis by promoting epithelial cell regeneration

Project description:Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating intestinal inflammatory disorder that primarily affects premature infants. Despite decades of research, this disease remains a significant cause of death in the absence of efficient therapeutics. Interleukin (IL)-22 has been shown to play a critical role in maintaining the gut barrier, promoting epithelial regeneration, and controlling intestinal inflammation in adult animal models with an established microbiome. However, the importance of IL-22 signaling in the regulation of gut homeostasis and protection in neonates that lack an established microbiome remains unknown. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to investigate the role of IL-22 in the neonatal intestinal epithelium under homeostatic and inflammatory conditions by using a mouse model of NEC. Our data reveal that Il22 expression in neonatal murine intestine is negligible until weaning. In addition, both human and murine neonates lack IL-22 production during NEC. Mice deficient in IL-22 or mice lacking the expression of IL-22 receptor in intestinal epithelial cells, display a similar susceptibility of neonates to NEC consistent with the lack of endogenous IL-22 at this critical stage of intestinal development. Conversely, treatment with recombinant IL-22 during NEC substantially reduces disease severity. This IL-22-mediated protection is associated with enhanced epithelial regeneration and increased expression of several antimicrobial genes. Strikingly, despite an IL-22-mediated induction of an antimicrobial transcriptional program, the composition of the intestinal microbial communities remains unchanged. Taken together, this study demonstrates that an IL-22 signaling axis promotes protection against neonatal NEC through the induction of epithelial cell regeneration.

Selective hypermethylation is evident in small intestine samples from infants with necrotizing enterocolitis [targeted_ileum]

Project description:Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common and lethal gastrointestinal disease affecting preterm infants. NEC develops suddenly and is characterized by gut barrier destruction, an inflammatory response, intestinal necrosis and multi-system organ failure. There is currently no method for early NEC detection, and the pathogenesis of NEC remains unclear.

Common inflammatory pathways between NEC and Crohn's disease

Project description:Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most frequent life-threatening gastrointestinal disease experienced by premature infant occuring in neonatal intensive care units. NEC is associated with severe intestinal inflammation, intestinal perforation leading to mortality. The challenge for neonatologists is to detect early clinical manifestations of NEC. Therefore, one of the strategies to prevent or treat NEC would be to develop an early diagnostic tool allowing identification of preterm infants either at risk of developing NEC or at the onset of the disease. Illumina’s deep sequencing technology (RNA-seq) was used to establish the gene expression profile between resected ileal healthy preterm (control, n=5) and NEC diagnosed preterm infant (NEC, n=9) and analyzed by IPA Core analysis system. IPA analysis indicated that the most significant functional pathways overrepresented in NEC neonates were associated with innate immune functions, such as altered T and B cell signaling, B cell development, and the role of pattern recognition receptors in recognition of bacteria and viruses. Among genes that were strongly modulated in NEC neonates, we observed a high degree of similarity with those linked to the development of IBD. By comparing gene expression patterns between NEC and Crohn’s disease, we identified several new potential protein targets for helping to predict and/or diagnose NEC in preterm infant. Gene expression profile revealed an uncontrolled innate immune response in the intestine of NEC neonates. Moreover, comparative analysis between NEC and Crohn’s disease evidenced high degree of similarity between these two inflammatory diseases and allowed us to identify several new potential NEC biomarkers.

Formula Feeding and Immature Gut Microcirculation Promote Intestinal Hypoxia leading to Necrotizing Enterocolitis

Project description:Major risk factors for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) are formula feeding and prematurity, however, their pathogenic mechanisms are unknown. We found that insufficient arginine/nitric oxide synthesis limits blood flow in the intestinal microvasculature, leading to hypoxia, mucosa damage and NEC in the premature intestine after formula feeding. Formula feeding led to increased intestinal hypoxia in pups at postnatal day 1(P1) and P5, but not in more mature pups at P9. Accordingly, blood flow in the intestinal microvasculature increased after formula feeding only in P9 pups. mRNA profiling revealed that regulators of arginine/nitric oxide synthesis are at higher levels in endothelial cells of the intestine of P9 than P1 pups. Importantly, arginine supplementation increased intestinal microvasculature blood flow, and prevented NEC, whereas an arginine antagonist exacerbated NEC. Our results suggest that balancing intestinal oxygen demand and supply in the premature intestine by modulating arginine/nitric oxide could be used to prevent NEC.

Adaptor molecule of DNA methylation in IECs

Project description:We previously reported that gut microbiota induce de novo DNA methylation of the TLR4 gene in intestinal epithelial cells. Since DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) 3 mediates the transfer of methyl groups to any gene undergoing de novo methylation, the question of how gut microbiota induce the recruitment of DNMT3 to specific genes, including TLR4, remains to be addressed. In this study, we tried to identify an adaptor molecule that recruits DNMT3b to the TLR4 gene by comparing expression of DNMT3-interacting proteins between IEC lines with hypermethylated and hypomethylated TLR4 gene.

Analysis of the role of microbiota in macrophages using single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq).

Project description:Single-cell sequencing of intestinal macrophage was peformed with mice colony stimulating factor 1 receptor promoter (CSF1R) positive cells isolated from the 1/3 distal part of the small intestine of male MaFIA mice at postnatal day 17. Intestinal secretory Paneth cells become differentiated during the first two weeks after birth, which coincides with initial gut microbiota exposure. Their number is significantly reduced in cases of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a deadly disease affecting premature infants. Although known to be associated with intestinal immaturity, its underlying disease mechanisms are unclear. Our analysis of mice treated with antibiotics reveals Paneth cell defects, which promote NEC pathogenesis. Our single cell and genetic analyses demonstrate that gut microbiota induces stem cell differentiation into Paneth cells by controlling the number and heterogeneity of macrophage populations that secrete Wnt ligands. Moreover, differentiated M2 macrophages are able to restore Paneth cell differentiation and rescue NEC-like pathology, while the ablation of Paneth cells is sufficient to induce it, leading to lethality. Our work reveals an unexpected requirement for Paneth cell differentiation through the regulation of gut microbiota-macrophage niches in early postnatal development.

Type I Interferons Control Proliferation and Function of Intestinal Epithelium

Project description:Wnt pathway-driven proliferation and renewal of the intestinal epithelium must be tightly controlled to prevent development of cancer and barrier dysfunction. Although type 1 interferons (IFN) produced in the gut under influence of microbiota are known for their anti-proliferative effects, the role of these cytokines in regulating intestinal epithelial renewal is largely unknown. Here we report a novel role for IFN in the context of intestinal knockout of casein kinase 1Î± (CK1Î±), which controls ubiquitination and degradation of both Î²-catenin and the IFNAR1 chain of the IFN receptor. Ablation of CK1Î± leads to activation of both Î²-catenin and IFN pathway and prevents unlimited proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells despite constitutive Î²-catenin activity. IFN signaling contributes to activation of the p53 pathway and appearance of apoptotic and senescence markers in the CK1Î±-deficient gut. Concurrent genetic ablation of CK1Î± and IFNAR1 leads to intestinal hyperplasia, robust attenuation of apoptosis, and rapid and lethal loss of the barrier function. These data indicate that IFN plays an important role in controlling proliferation and function of intestinal epithelium in the context of Î²-catenin activation. Two conditions were examined, with 2 replicates for each condition, yielding 4 samples in total.

Gut microbiota promotes stem cell differentiation through stromal niches in early postnatal development

Project description:At birth, newborns are exposed to gut microbiota, which plays a critical role in host physiology. A reduced level of microbial diversity has been associated with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), one of the most deadly diseases in premature infants, but the underlying disease mechanisms are still poorly understood. Although the epithelial turnover of germ free mice is significantly delayed compared to conventionally raised mice, it remains unclear how gut microbiota exposure in the early postnatal period promotes stem cell renewal and differentiation. By analyzing genetic and experimental mouse models and performing single cell analysis, we demonstrate that gut microbiota promotes stem cell differentiation through the activation of critical stromal niche components. Our single cell analysis reveals that gut microbiota controls the size and heterogeneity of macrophage populations that secrete Wnt ligands, thereby maintaining the proliferation of intestinal telocytes, a recently identified gut mesenchymal stem cell niche. We show that stem cell differentiation, when impaired by antibiotic treatment promotes NEC, while treatment with Lactobacillus, which in NEC is dramatically less abundant, rescues NEC-like pathology through the activation of macrophage and telocyte niches. Our work highlights the mechanisms of how gut microbiota-facilitate mesenchymal niche proliferation which supports stem cell differentiation in early postnatal development.

Intestinal necrotizing enterocolitis triggers hippocampal gene expression and neuronal differentiation in preterm neonates

Project description:Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an acute gut inflammatory disorder that mainly affects preterm neonates. A large proportion of NEC survivors develop neuronal deficits later in life, however the effect of early stages of NEC on the developing brain is unknown. Using preterm pigs as a NEC-sensitive animal model, we profiled the hippocampal gene expression in response to severe NEC lesions. The NEC-induced differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the hippocampus segregated the piglets suffering from small intestinal NEC (Si-NEC) from those showing NEC lesions only in the colon (Co-NEC). Only when NEC lesions were observed in the small intestine, did piglets show reduced physical activity together with up-regulation of hippocampal genes related to inflammation and hypoxia, which was further verified by qPCR. Cluster analyses revealed key hippocampal NEC–related DEGs for Si-NEC (23 genes, including S100A8, PDK4, EDN1, IER3, Opalin, TXNIP) and Co-NEC (3 genes: GSTM3, TF, and S100A1). Both NEC phenotypes showed only two down-regulated DEGs (TMEM 167, HBB) and were devoid of any histological signs of microglia activation. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from NEC-positive pigs contained elevated levels of several inflammatory proteins and in vitro exposure of immature hippocampal neurons to NEC-related CSF promoted neuritogenesis. Further in vitro experiments with neurite outgrowth indicated that VEGF, CINC-3, S100A9 and S100A8/S100A9 may play a role in NEC effects on hippocampal development. In conclusion, NEC lesions, especially when involving the small intestine, alter hippocampal gene expression with potential neuroinflammation and effects on neural circuit formation. Our results demonstrated that gut lesions affect the immature brain at early stages of disease progression. Thus, supportive care is important for preterm infants experienced with NEC to lessen possible later neurological dysfunctions.
