SNX10-mediated LPS sensing causes intestinal barrier dysfunction via a caspase-5-dependent signaling cascade.

ABSTRACT: Altered intestinal microbial composition promotes intestinal barrier dysfunction and triggers the initiation and recurrence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Current treatments for IBD are focused on control of inflammation rather than on maintaining intestinal epithelial barrier function. Here, we show that the internalization of Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) in human intestinal epithelial cells promotes recruitment of caspase-5 and PIKfyve to early endosomal membranes via sorting nexin 10 (SNX10), resulting in LPS release from OMVs into the cytosol. Caspase-5 activated by cytosolic LPS leads to Lyn phosphorylation, which in turn promotes nuclear translocalization of Snail/Slug, downregulation of E-cadherin expression, and intestinal barrier dysfunction.
