Vitamin D regulates the microbiota to induce RORgt/FoxP3+ regulatory T cells

ABSTRACT: The active form of vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) suppresses experimental models of inflammatory bowel disease in part by regulating the microbiota. In this study, the role of vitamin D in the regulation of microbe induced RORgt/FoxP3+ T regulatory (reg) cells in the colon was determined. Vitamin D sufficient (D+) mice had significantly higher frequencies of FoxP3+ and RORgt/FoxP3+ T reg cells in the colon compared to vitamin D deficient (D-) mice. The higher frequency of RORgt/FoxP3+ T reg cells in D+ colon correlated with higher numbers of bacteria from the Clostridium XIVa and Bacteroides in D+ compared to D- cecum. D- mice with fewer RORgt/FoxP3+ T reg cells were significantly more susceptible to colitis than D+ mice. Transfer of the cecal bacteria from D+ or D- mice to germfree recipients phenocopied the higher numbers of RORgt/FoxP3+ cells and reduced susceptibility to colitis in D+ versus D- recipient mice. 1,25(OH)2D treatment of the D- mice beginning at 3 weeks of age did not completely recover RORgt/FoxP3+ T reg cells or the Bacteriodes, Bacteriodes thetaiotaomicron, and Clostridium XIVa numbers to D+ values. Early vitamin D status shapes the microbiota to optimize the population of colonic RORgt/FoxP3+ T reg cells important for resistance to colitis.

Loss of colonic primary cilia promotes inflammation and carcinogenesis

Project description:Primary cilia (PC) are important signaling hubs in cells and we explored their role in colorectal cancer (CRC) and colitis. In the colon we found PC to be mostly present on different subtypes of fibroblasts and exposure of mice to either chemically induced colitis-associated colon carcinogenesis (CAC) or dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced acute colitis decreased PC numbers. We employed conditional knock-out strains for the PC essential genes, Kif3A and Ift88, to generate mice with reduced numbers of PC on colonic fibroblasts. These mice showed an increased susceptibility in the CAC model as well as in DSS-induced colitis. Secretome and immunohistochemical analyses of DSS-treated mice displayed an elevated production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 in PC-deficient colons. An inflammatory environment diminished PC presence in primary fibroblast cultures. This was triggered by IL-6 as identified by RNAseq analysis together with blocking experiments, suggesting an activation loop between IL-6 production and PC loss. Notably, an analysis of PC presence on biopsies of patients with ulcerative colitis as well as CRC patients revealed decreased numbers of PC on colonic fibroblasts in pathological versus surrounding normal tissue. Taken together, we provide evidence that a decrease in colonic PC numbers promotes colitis and CRC.

Gene expression in the colon from IL10 KO mice

Project description:That commensal bacteria can influence intestinal inflammation has been observed using other models of chronic colitis. Loss of IL-10, a major immunosuppressive cytokine, induces spontaneous colitis in mice. The incidence of spontaneous polyp formation in IL-10-deficient mice was also completely eliminated in the absence of STING We used microarrays to evaluate the inflammatory cytokine expression in the colon from IL10 KO mice and IL10/STING KO mice.

Differential gene expression in the colons of mice lacking neuregulin-4

Project description:Growth factors are essential for maintenance of intestinal health at homeostasis and during inflammation. We have previously shown that exogenous treatment with the growth factor neuregulin-4 (NRG4) promotes colonocyte survival during cytokine challenge and is protective in acute models of intestinal inflammation. However, the role of endogenously expressed NRG4 in colitis is not well understood. Using NRG4-/- mice, we tested the effect of endogenous NRG4 on colitis. NRG4-/- and wild type cage-mate mice were subjected to an IL-10R neutralization model of chronic colitis. NRG4-/- mice displayed reduced inflammatory cytokine expression in the colon and a reduction in tissue CD8+ T cells at 5 weeks post induction of colitis. In unchallenged NRG4-/- mice, baseline numbers of colonic CD8+ T cell numbers were unchanged. However, there was a significant decrease in splenic CD8+ T cells. RNA sequencing from colonic homogenates showed a loss of St3gal4, a sialyltransferase involved in immune cell trafficking, in the NRG4-null animals. This loss was verified in both tissue and epithelium. The regulation of St3gal4 by NRG4 was confirmed with ex vivo epithelial colon organoid cultures from NRG4-/- mice and by induction of St3gal4 in vivo following NRG4 treatment. Together our data suggest that NRG4 regulates colonic epithelial ST3GAL4 and thus the recruitment of CD8+ T cells, but also has systemic effects on T cell maturation. These effects may combine to stimulate immune mediated inflammation during IL-10R neutralization colitis.

Inhibition of histone deacetylation by MS-275 alleviates colitis by activating the vitamin D receptor

Project description:BACKGROUND: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a common chronic inflammatory bowel disease without curative treatment. METHODS: We conducted gene set enrichment analysis to explore potential therapeutic agent for UC. Human colon tissue samples were collected to test H3 acetylation in UC. Both in vivo and in vitro colitis models were constructed to verify the role and mechanism of H3 acetylation modification in UC. Intestine-specific vitamin D receptor (VDR)-/- mice and VD (vitamin D)-deficient diet-fed mice were used to explore downstream molecular mechanism accordingly. RESULTS: According to the Connectivity Map database, MS-275 (class I histone deacetylase inhibitor) was the top-ranked agent, indicating potential importance of histone acetylation in the pathogenesis of UC. We then found that histone H3 acetylation was significantly decreased in the colon epithelium of UC patients and negatively associated with disease severity. MS-275 treatment inhibited histone H3 deacetylation, and subsequently attenuated nuclear factor kappa B (NF-?B)-induced inflammation, reduced cellular apoptosis, maintained epithelial barrier function, and thereby reduced colitis activity in a mouse model of colitis. We also identified VDR to be a downstream effector of MS-275. The curative effect of MS-275 on colitis was abolished in VDR-/- mice and in VD-deficient diet-fed mice and VDR directly targeted p65. In UC patients, histone H3 acetylation, VDR and zonulin-1 expression showed similar downregulation patterns and were negatively associated with disease severity. CONCLUSION: We demonstrate that MS-275 inhibits histone deacetylation and alleviates colitis by ameliorating inflammation, reducing apoptosis and maintaining intestinal epithelial barrier via VDR, providing new strategies for UC treatment.

Effect of 25(OH)D on the small RNA expression of breast cancer cell MDA-MB-453

Project description:Vitamin D is a pro-hormone that possesses various anticancer effects through diverse mechanisms. The enzyme vitamin D-25-hydroxylase can convert vitamin D into 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) in the liver. 25(OH)D serves as the precursor of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D or calcitriol), which can be transformed into 1,25(OH)2D by the enzyme CYP27B1. CYP27B1 is primarily distributed in the kidneys but can also be found in other tissues, such as the breast and colon. Although 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D has been the primary object of in vitro studies, emerging evidence suggests that 25(OH)D can also generate anticancer effects by transforming into 1,25(OH)2D in the manner of autocrine and paracrine. Our study aims to investigate the impact of 25(OH)D on breast cancer and its effect on the expression of small RNA in breast cancer cells cultured with 100nM 25(OH)D.

Effect of 25(OH)D on the gene expression of breast cancer cell MDA-MB-453

Project description:Vitamin D as a pro-hormone is known to generate anticancer effects by various mechanisms. Vitamin D can be converted to 25-hydroxyvitamin D(25(OH)D) by the enzyme vitamin D-25-hydroxylase in the liver.25(OH)D is the precursor of 1,25‑dihydroxyvitamin D(1,25(OH)2D, also called calcitriol) and can be transformed by the enzyme CYP27B1. The distribution of CYP27B1 is mainly in the kidney, but also in other tissues like breast and colon. So far, research about the anticancer effects of Vitamin D mainly chooses 1,25‑dihydroxyvitamin D as the study object in vitro. However, there is increasing evidence showing that 25(OH)D also can generate anticancer effects by transforming into 1,25(OH)2D in the manner of autocrine and paracrine. Our study aims to explore the influence of 25(OH)D on breast cancer and provides the variation on the expression of RNA in the breast cancer cells cultured with 100nM 25(OH)D.

Multi-Omics Insights into the Mechanism of Liver Injury in Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Colitis

Project description:Liver injury is a common complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the mechanisms of liver injury development are not clear in IBD patients. Gut microbiota is thought to be engaged in IBD pathogenesis. Here, by an integrated analysis of host transcriptome and colonic microbiome, we have attempted to reveal the mechanism of liver injury in colitis mice. In this study, dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) -induced mice colitis model was constructed. Liver and colon transcriptome results showed that immune response and lipid metabolism-related pathways were dramatically altered, while DNA damage repair-related pathways were only significantly down-regulated in the colon. The microbiota of DSS-treated mice underwent strong transitions. Correlation analyses identified genes associated with liver and colon injury, whose expression was associated with the abundance of liver and gut health-related bacteria Collectively, the results indicate that the liver injury in colitis mice may be related to the intestinal dysbiosis and host-microbiota interactions. These findings may provide new insights for identifying potential targets for the treatment of IBD and its induced liver injury.

Interleukin 17 B is protective in colitis by regulating colonic mononuclear phagocytes in mice [BMDM]

Project description:IL17B protected mice from dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis since IL17B deficiency resulted in severe DSS-induced colitis with exaggerated weight loss, shorter colon length, and elevated proinflammatory cytokine production in colon. For mechanism study, we use single cell transcriptional analyses of CD45+ immune cells in colonic lamina propria to detect the effect of IL-17B on colon LP immune cells in colitis. We found increased inflammatory macrophages infiltration in colon lamina propria after colitis induction expressing inflammatory cytokines such as S100a9, S100a8, Tnf, which was confirmed by real-time PCR and flow cytometry. Reconstitute of Il17b-/- mice with recombinant IL17B alleviated the severity of DSS-induced colitis. IL17B treatment also inhibited LPS-induced inflammation in bone marrow derived macrophage and in mice. These data indicate that IL17B exerting its inhibitory role in inflammation by regulating inflammatory macrophage response. In view of the protective effect of IL17B on DSS-induced colitis and LPS-induced inflammation, IL17B might represent a novel potential therapeutic approach to treat the inflammation.
