Lactobacillus-derived indole-3-lactic acid ameliorates colitis in cesarean-born offspring via activation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor.

ABSTRACT: Cesarean section (CS) delivery is known to disrupt the transmission of maternal microbiota to offspring, leading to an increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly characterized. Here, we demonstrate that CS birth renders mice susceptible to dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis and impairs group 3 innate lymphoid cell (ILC3) development. Additionally, CS induces a sustained decrease in Lactobacillus abundance, which subsequently contributes to the colitis progression and ILC3 deficiency. Supplementation with a probiotic strain, L. acidophilus, or its metabolite, indole-3-lactic acid (ILA), can attenuate intestinal inflammation and restore ILC3 frequency and interleukin (IL)-22 level in CS offspring. Mechanistically, we indicate that ILA activates ILC3 through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signaling. Overall, our findings uncover a detrimental role of CS-induced gut dysbiosis in the pathogenesis of colitis and suggest L. acidophilus and ILA as potential targets to re-establish intestinal homeostasis in CS offspring.

Project description:Aim: To elucidate dynamics and functions in colonic macrophage subsets, and their regulation by Bifidobacterium breve (B. breve) and its associated metabolites in the initiation of colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC). Methods: Azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) were used to create a CAC model. The tumor-suppressive effect of B. breve and variations of macrophage subsets were evaluated. Intestinal macrophages were ablated to determine their role in the protective effects of B. breve. Efficacious molecules produced by B. breve were identified by non-targeted and targeted liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. The molecular mechanism was further verified in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), macrophages derived from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs), and demonstrated in CAC mice. Results: B. breve alleviated colitis symptoms, delayed colonic tumorigenesis, and promoted phenotypic differentiation of immature inflammatory macrophages into mature homeostatic macrophages. On the contrary, the ablation of intestinal macrophages largely annulled the protective effects of B. breve. Microbial analysis of colonic contents revealed the enrichment of probiotics and the depletion of potential pathogens following B. breve supplementation. Moreover, indole-3-lactic acid (ILA) was positively correlated with B. breve in CAC mice and highly enriched in the culture supernatant of B. breve. Also, the addition of ILA directly promoted AKT phosphorylation and restricted the pro-inflammatory response of murine BMDMs and macrophages derived from hPBMCs in vitro. The effects of ILA in murine BMDMs and macrophages derived from hPBMCs were abolished by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) antagonist CH-223191 or the AKT inhibitor MK-2206. Furthermore, ILA could protect against tumorigenesis by regulating macrophage differentiation in CAC mice; the AhR antagonist largely abrogated the effects of B. breve and ILA in relieving colitis and tumorigenesis. Conclusion: B. breve-mediated tryptophan metabolism ameliorates the precancerous inflammatory intestinal milieu to inhibit tumorigenesis by directing the differentiation of immature colonic macrophages.
