Project description:IBD is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by dysregulated interactions between host immune responses and microbiome at the intestinal epithelium interface. Here we identified shared protein alterations in intestinal epithelial differentiation and function between IBD and Citrobacter rodentium infected FVB mice. We discovered that prophylactic treatment with the mucosal healing therapy IL-22.Fc in the infected FVB mice reduced disease severity and rescued the mice from lethality. Notably, we observed an emergence of intermediate undifferentiated intestinal epithelial cells upon infection, with disrupted expression of the solute transporter machinery as well as components critical for intestinal barrier integrity. Multi-omics analyses revealed that with IL-22.Fc treatment several disease associated changes were prevented (including disruption of the solute transporter machinery), and proper physiological homeostatic functions of the intestine was restored. Taken together, we unveiled the disease relevance of the C. rodentium induced colitis model to IBD and demonstrated the protective role of the mucosal healing therapy IL-22.Fc in ameliorating the epithelial dysfunction.

Project description:It is crucial to decipher the host-microbiota interactions as they are involved in intestinal homeostasis and diseases. Caspase Recruitment Domain 9 (Card9) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) susceptibility gene coding for an adapter protein for innate immunity toward many microorganisms. Card9-/- mice are more susceptible to colitis induced by Citrobacter rodentium as a result of impaired of the IL-22 pathway. C. rodentium is a natural mouse pathogen widely used to model human infections with Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli and Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli. To explore the role of the gut microbiota in the susceptibility of Card9-/- mice to C. rodentium infection, we colonized WT germ-free (GF) mice with the microbiota of WT (WT-->GF) or Card9-/- (Card9-/- -->GF) mice and challenged them with C. rodentium. Card9-/- -->GF mice were more susceptible than WT-->GF mice to C. rodentium. To examine the mechanisms responsible for this defect, we compared the cecum transcriptomes of WT -->GF and Card9-/- -->GF mice before and during C. rodentium-induced colitis. The number of down-regulated and up-regulated genes on day 12 after C. rodentium infection was lower in Card9-/- -->GF mice than WT-->GF mice. Card9-/- -->GF mice showed a significant down-regulation of gut morphogenesis and wound healing pathways suggesting that recovery is impaired in Card9-/- -->GF mice after C. rodentium infection. Immune response and cell division pathways were up-regulated in WT-->GF mice but not in Card9-/- -->GF confirming the defect of global response to infection when only the Card9-/- microbiota was transferred. The most induced and differentially expressed genes between Card9-/- -->GF and WT-->GF mice on day 4 after C. rodentium infection were Reg3g (encoding REGIIIγ) and Reg3b (encoding REGIIIβ).

Project description:Background and Aims: Many inflammatory diseases are associated with microbial dysbiosis, which may considerably alter the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs are produced in the large bowel through bacterial fermentation of dietary fiber and play an important role in maintaining gut homeostasis. SCFAs, particularly acetate and butyrate, show beneficial immunomodulatory effects contributing to the prevention of inflammatory and allergic reactions. Thus, reduced production of SCFAs may impact on the mucosal immune responses critical to fighting pathogens. This study aims to determine the influence of SCFAs on a murine model of colonic bacterial infection. Methods: In the present study, we used acetate- (HAMSA) or butyrate- (HAMSB) yielding diets to deliver high concentrations of individual SCFAs to the large bowel of mice infected with C. rodentium. We assessed the effects of these SCFAs on clinical burden and gut pathogenicity in correlation with changes in bacteria growth, fecal microbiota composition, function and changes in the immunological profile. Results: Here we show in vitro that acetate and butyrate directly inhibited growth of the attaching and effacing (A/E) pathogen C. rodentium in a bacteriostatic manner. This correlated with reduced expression of Tir, a gene responsible for bacterial adherence and pathogenicity. Interestingly, HAMSA-fed mice presented reduced clinical scores during C. rodentium infection associated with high concentrations of fecal acetate. This was linked with compositional and functional changes in the microbiota when examining 16s sequencing and proteomics analysis. The HAMSA mediated is protection involved increased expression IL-22 and Muc-2 in the colon and increased numbers of CD8αα+ TCRγδ T cells in the colonic epithelium. These effects were dependent on GPR43, a metabolite-sensing GPCR that binds acetate. Conclusions: We established a promising new approach to moderate bacterial gut infections by manipulating the gut microbiota and mucosal immune tolerance through diets that yield the SCFA acetate.

Project description:The identification of Atg16L1 as a susceptibility gene has implicated antibacterial autophagy in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease, a major type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the role of Atg16L1 during extracellular bacterial infections of the intestine has not been sufficiently examined and compared to the function of other IBD susceptibility genes such as Nod2. We now find that Atg16L1 mutant mice are extraordinarily resistant to intestinal disease induced by the model bacterial pathogen Citrobacter rodentium. We further demonstrate that Atg16L1 deficiency alters the intestinal environment to mediate an enhanced immune response that is dependent on monocytic cells, and that Atg16L1/Nod2 double mutant mice lose this advantage. These results reveal an unappreciated immuno-suppressive function of an IBD gene, and raise the possibility that gene variants that affect the autophagy pathway were evolutionarily maintained to protect against certain life-threatening infections. Twenty samples have been analyzed. All are colonic tissue from mice. Controls are uninfected WT mice, uninfected Atg16L1 mutant mice (Atg16L1HM) (n=3/genotype). Treatment conditions are tissue from WT and Atg16L1 mutant mice 6 days after C. rodentium infection (n=4/genotype) and 15 days after infection (n=3/genotype).

Project description:Defense against attaching and effacing (A/E) bacteria requires the sequential generation of IL-23 and IL-22 to induce protective mucosal responses. While the critical source of IL-22 has been identified as CD4+ and Nkp46+ innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), the precise source of IL-23 is unclear. Here, we use genetic techniques to deplete specific classical dendritic cell (cDC) subsets and analyze immunity to the A/E pathogen Citrobacter rodentium. We find that Zbtb46+ cDCs, and specifically Notch2-dependent intestinal CD11b+ cDCs, but not Batf3-dependent CD103+ cDCs, are required for IL-23 production and immunity against C. rodentium. Notch2 controls cDC differentiation at a terminal step mediated by lymphotoxin signaling. Importantly, these results provide the first demonstration of a non-redundant function of CD11b+ cDCs in vivo. Analysis of genes differentially expressed between WT, Batf3 KO and Notch2 KO colons following C. rodentium infection. Mice were infected with 2 x 10^9 C. rodentium and colons harvested at either Day 4 or Day 9.

Project description:Colonic goblet cells respond to invading enteropathogens by secreting Muc2 mucin and other specific goblet cell proteins that physically entrap and expel microbes away from the epithelium. At present, it is unclear how innate effectors in the gut, including small cationic cathelicidin peptides secreted by the intestinal epithelium and leukocytes, contribute to mucus barrier defense during infections. In this study, we used cathelicidin-deficient (Camp-/-) mice, colonoids, and human colonic LS174T goblet cells to elucidate the mechanisms by which cathelicidin regulates goblet cell secretions in innate host defense against attaching/effacing Citrobacter rodentium. We showed that even though Camp-/- littermates infected with C. rodentium displayed increased fecal shedding and epithelial colonization, Muc2 mucin granules were retained in bloated colonic goblet cells that impaired mucus secretion and expressed less mucus-associated proteins, as quantified by proteomic analysis. C. rodentium infected Camp-/- littermates showed impaired reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and transcriptomic profiling associated with decreased ROS biosynthesis and an increase in ROS negative regulators. Camp-/- bone marrow derived macrophages produced less ROS than their wild-type counterparts. In LS174T goblet cells, human cathelicidin LL-37 promptly induced the secretion of goblet cell-associated TFF3 and RELMβ, which was dependent on ROS production. These findings demonstrate that cathelicidin signaling in colonic goblet cells regulates mucus and mucin-associated protein secretion via an ROS-dependent mechanism to clear bacterial infections and restore gut homeostasis.
