Project description:Objective Increased neutrophil extracellular trap-osis (NETosis) is a hallmark of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the mechanisms of NETosis formation and its detrimental effect on the intestinal epithelium remain poorly understood. Design Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induce colitis in peptidyl-arginine deiminase-4 deficient (PAD4-/-) and wild-type (WT) mice. PAD4, NETosis and citrullination levels were detected in mice and human volunteers. Citrullination analysis and single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) were performed to explore the target of PAD4 during NETosis formation. The effect of this citrullinated target in the intestinal epithelium during the pathogenesis of IBD was validated both in vivo and in vitro. Results The levels of NETosis and citrullination were improved in IBD patients, which was positively associated with endoscopic inflammation scores. Deleting PAD4 alleviated colonic inflammation and intestinal barrier dysfunctions. In citrullination analysis, R243 of mitochondrial creatine kinase 1 (CKMT1) was identified as the potential target of PAD4 during NETosis. The scRNA-seq data further indicated that PAD4 in neutrophils contributed to the increase of epithelia (Nos2+ Clca3b+) and the decrease of distal immature epithelia. PAD4-mediated NETosis contributed to the destruction of intestinal barriers and increase of apoptosis as well as lower level of CKMT1 protein in vitro. Finally, mice with intestinal epithelial-specific ablation of CKMT1 were used to verify its detrimental role in the development of IBD, which was also validated by the moderate correlation between CKMT1 and endoscopic scores in IBD patients.

Project description:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising CrohnM-BM-4s disease and Ulcerative colitis, is characterized by chronic relapsing inflammation of the gut. It has been shown that increased proteasomal activity is associated with the expression of immunoproteasomes, which enhances NF-kB activation and thus promotes inflammation in IBD-patients. Here, we investigate whether modulation of the proteasomal activity is a suitable therapeutic approach to limit inflammation in colitis. This concept was tested in two different experimental setups. First, development of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis was tested in lmp7-/--mice, which lack the essential immunoproteasome-subunit LMP7 or in wildtype-mice treated with the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib. Compared to WT mice, lmp7-/- mice revealed significantly attenuated colitis resulting from reduced NF-kB activation in the absence of LMP7. Further, treatment with bortezomib revealed dose-dependent amelioration of DSS-induced inflammation. In both approaches proteasome modulation limited the infiltration of neutrophils, consequently reducing tissue damage. In summary our experiments demonstrate that modulation of the proteasomal activity is effective in attenuating experimental colitis. In particular, our data suggest that the immunoproteasome-subunit LMP7 is a suitable target for the therapy of IBD. Microarray experiments were performed as dual-color hybridizations. To compensate for dye-specific effects, a dye-reversal color-swap was applied. Samples of proximal colon were cut longitudinally, washed in PBS, shortly incubated in 4M Guanidinium-isothiocyanat and transferred to TRIzol (Invitrogen).

Project description:MUC1 is a tumor-associated antigen that is aberrantly expressed in cancer and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Even though immune cells express low MUC1 levels, their modulations of MUC1 are important in tumor progression. Consistent with previous clinical data that show increased myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in IBD, we now show that down-regulation of MUC1 on hematopoietic cells increases MDSCs in IBD, similar to our data in tumor-bearing mice. We hypothesize that MDSC expansion in IBD is critical for tumor progression. In order to mechanistically confirm the linkage between Muc1 down-regulation and MDSC expansion, we generated chimeric mice that did not express Muc1 in the hematopoietic compartment (KOM-bM-^FM-^RWT). These mice were used in 2 models of colitis and colitis-associated cancer (CAC) and their responses were compared to wildtype chimeras (WTM-bM-^FM-^RWT). KOM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice show increased levels of MDSCs during colitis that was responsible for the larger colon tumors that eventually developed in these mice. Using microarray and qRT-PCR analysis, we observed increased pro-tumorigenic signaling in the colons of KOM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice during colitis as compared to WTM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice. Our RNA (microarray and qRT-PCR analysis) and protein analysis demonstrate increased up-regulation of metalloproteinases, collagenases, defensins, complements, growth factors, cytokines and chemokines in KOM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice as compared to WTM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice. Antibody-mediated depletion of MDSCs in mice during colitis reduced colon tumor formation during CAC. Development of CAC is a serious complication of colitis and our data highlight MDSCs as a targetable link between inflammation and cancer. A total of 12 samples were analysed. RNA was made from the mucosa of the colon of WTM-bM-^FM-^RWT and KOM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice that were either untreated or treated with azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). There are 4 groups, n=3 for each group: untreated WTM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice, untreated KOM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice, AOM+DSS treated WTM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice, AOM+DSS treated KOM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice = 12 samples in total.

Project description:Objective Western Diet (WD) appears to be an important factor associated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Refined sugars represent up to 40% of caloric intake in industrialized countries. Unlike fats, the impact of dietary sugar on healthy and inflamed intestine remains poorly described. Design We investigated the effects of a high sucrose diet (HSD) on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis and on healthy intestine in mice. Several techniques ranging from macroscopic to molecular were used in vivo and direct effect of sugars was examined in cellulo on Caco-2 cell distinguishing differential effect of fructose and glucose. Results During established colitis in mice, HSD aggravated inflammation by increasing gut permeability, raising immune cells in spleen and impairing autophagy process in colonic mucosa. On healthy intestine, HSD caused spontaneous endoscopic lesions, systemic broad immunosuppression and dysregulation of stress-related genes, associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis. Global reprogramming of colonic transcriptome was detected in HSD-fed mice and amazingly, functional annotations demonstrated association with IBD and “colitis” without DSS-treatment. In vitro, low dose of fructose as well as high dose of glucose induced alteration of junctions confirming the deleterious effects of sugar on intestine. These effects seem to be partially reversible on microbiome and transcriptome of mice after switching back to normal diet. Conclusions Our results demonstrated for the first time that under pathological conditions mimicking pre-diabetes (mild hyperglycemia-associated with overweight), a pre-IBD state is established and depending on host sensitivity, in colitis conditions, this exacerbates the inflammation severity by disturbing cell-cell junction organization and autophagy process.

Project description:To investigate the detailed molecular mechanisms for the regulatory role of HIF-2α in experimental colitis, microarray gene expression analysis was performed on colon RNA isolated from 6- to 8-week-old Hif-2αF/F, Hif-2αlΔIE mice treated with 3%DSS for 3 days. Background & Aims: Hypoxic inflammation is characterized by decreased oxygen tension in inflammatory foci, and is a notable feature in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Hypoxic response is mediated by transcription factors hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α, both of which are highly induced in IBD. HIF-1α is a protective factor that limits intestinal barrier dysfunction during inflammation. However, the role of HIF-2α has not been assessed in hypoxic inflammation and IBD. Methods: A hypoxia reporter mouse model was used to test the presence of hypoxia and HIF-2α in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) and Citrobacter rodentium (C.rod)-induced colitis. The role of HIF-2α in these mouse models of colitis was further assessed in mice with an intestinal epithelium-specific gain- and loss-of-function of HIF-2α. Results: Induction of hypoxia and HIF-2α was confirmed in both murine experimental colitis models and human IBD samples. Disruption of HIF-2α attenuated colonic inflammation whereas stabilization of HIF-2α potentiated inflammation in mouse models of colitis. Interestingly, intestine specific overexpression of HIF-2α but not HIF-1α leads to spontaneous colitis and premature death in mice. Further mechanistic analysis showed that HIF-2α is a driver for pro-inflammatory response and is critical regulator of intestinal epithelial-derived tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. Blocking TNF-α completely ameliorated HIF-2α potentiated intestinal inflammation. Conclusions: These data demonstrate that HIF-2α is a critical transcription factor essential in intestinal epithelium elicited inflammatory response.

Project description:Samples for microarray analysis were derived from terminal ileum and colonic tissues from probands with Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis and control patients, respectively. IBD tissue biopsies from non-inflamed regions 10 cm distant from pathological areas were selected. To minimize inter-individual differences in gene expression and to enrich for IBD-specific transcriptional events, 2.5 µg of total RNA from terminal ileum and colon transversum from four individuals of each patient and control group were used for pooling.

Project description:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing, and remitting disease characterized by chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. The exact etiology and pathogenesis of IBD remain elusive. Although ELF-1 has been known to be highly expressed in epithelial cells for past twenty years, little is known about its function in epithelial cells and epithelial-related IBD. Here, we demonstrated that ELF-1 deficiency in mouse lead to exacerbated DSS-induced colitis, marked by inflammation dominated by neutrophil infiltration and activation of IL-17 signaling pathways in various immune cells, including Th17, ILC3, γδT and NKT cells. Bone marrow transfer experiments confirmed ELF-1 deficiency in non-hematopoietic cells intrinsically worsened DSS-induced colitis. On one hand, ELF-1 deficiency enhanced the production of pro-inflammatory chemokines in colonic epithelial cells, leading to extensive infiltration of neutrophils and other immune cells into the colonic mucosal tissue. On the other hand, ELF-1 directly regulated the expression of the Rack1 gene in colonic epithelial tissue, which has been proved to play critical roles in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Altogether, ELF-1 plays a protective role in colitis by maintaining intestinal epithelium homeostasis.

Project description:Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) acting as negative regulators of gene expression are differentially expressed in intestinal tissues of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Assessing the functional role of miRNAs in murine models of colitis facilitates elucidating the role of specific miRNAs in human IBD. The aim of this study was to determine the miRNA signature of murine models of colitis and to assess the influence of miR-21 on intestinal inflammation. Methods: miRNAs expression was accessed by microarray for acute and chronic murine model of colitis induced by DSS or TNBS. miR-21-deficient mouse and littermates controls were assessed in the standard DSS, TNBS and CD4+ T cell transfer models of colitis. RNAs of mouse colon and CD4+CD45RBHigh cells were analyzed by miRNA and mRNA microarray, and quantitative RT-PCR. Th1 polarization was accessed by flow-cytometry and ELISA. Results: Alterations of in miRNAs expression were identified for acute and chronic DSS colitis and TNBS colitis, receptively. The Expression of miRs-21, -142-3p and -223 was were distinct between DSS and TNBS models while overlap of numerous miRNAs was seen. Importantly, miRs-19b, -192 and -215, that are decreased in IBD, were significantly decreased in all 4 models of colitis. miR-21, which is increased in IBD, was increased in TNBS colitis but not the DSS colitis models. Further assessment of the miR-21-deficient 1-/- mice revealed that the deletion of miR-21 results in the exacerbation of both the TNBS and T cell-transfer models of colitis. Conclusions: miRNAs are differentially expressed in both human IBD and murine colitis, with overlap of several IBD-associated miRNAs. The demonstration that miR-21 deletion exacerbated CD4+ T cell-mediated models of colitis provides further evidence that miRNAs play significant roles in the pathogenesis of IBD. miRNAs expression was accesed for acute and chronic murine model of colitis induced by DSS or TNBS.Total of 20 samples with duplicates were analyed in this study.
