Outer Membrane Vesicles Secreted by Bacteroides fragilis Inhibit CFTR Chloride Secretion by Human Colon Organoids

ABSTRACT: The goals of this study were to develop a model to study host pathogen interactions in primary human colon organoids and to test the hypothesis that Bacteroides fragilis toxin (BFT-2) secreted in outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) modulates mucosal immunity and CFTR Cl- secretion. Since Bacteroides species often resides in mucus, OMVs are likely to represent a mechanism of communication between Bacteroides and the host. Two strains of Bacteroides were studied, Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF), which produces BFT-2, and the non-toxigenic Bacteroides fragilis strain NCTC 9343 (NTBF) that does not produce BFT-2. We also utilized two additional strains of Bacteroides fragilis: one in which bft-2 was knocked out (ETBF Δbft), and one that was engineered to contain bft-2 (NTBF+bft). We report that most Bacteroides fragilis OMVs reduced CFTR Cl- secretion but had no effect on tight junction or cell adhesion proteins, transepithelial resistance (TER) or cytokine secretion by primary human colon organoids. We conclude that OMVs secreted by Bacteroides can be an important mechanism of host pathogen interactions in the colon by reducing CFTR Cl- secretion.

Project description:A mathematical model of the pancreatic duct cell generating high bicarbonate concentrations in pancreatic juice David C Whitcomb, G Bard Ermentrout, Pancreas 2004 29:e30-40; PubMedID:15257112 Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To develop a simple, physiologically based mathematical model of pancreatic duct cell secretion using experimentally derived parameters that generates pancreatic fluid bicarbonate concentrations of >140 mM after CFTR activation. METHODS: A new mathematical model was developed simulating a duct cell within a proximal pancreatic duct and included a sodium-2-bicarbonate cotransporter (NBC) and sodium-potassium pump (NaK pump) on a chloride-impermeable basolateral membrane, CFTR on the luminal membrane with 0.2 to 1 bicarbonate to chloride permeability ratio. Chloride-bicarbonate antiporters (Cl/HCO3 AP) were added or subtracted from the basolateral (APb) and luminal (APl) membranes. The model was integrated over time using XPPAUT. RESULTS: This model predicts robust, NaK pump-dependent bicarbonate secretion with opening of the CFTR, generates and maintains pancreatic fluid secretion with bicarbonate concentrations >140 mM, and returns to basal levels with CFTR closure. Limiting CFTR permeability to bicarbonate, as seen in some CFTR mutations, markedly inhibited pancreatic bicarbonate and fluid secretion. CONCLUSIONS: A simple CFTR-dependent duct cell model can explain active, high-volume, high-concentration bicarbonate secretion in pancreatic juice that reproduces the experimental findings. This model may also provide insight into why CFTR mutations that predominantly affect bicarbonate permeability predispose to pancreatic dysfunction in humans. This SBML version of the model was created directly from the XPPAUT code found in the appendix with the exception of the parameter vr, the ratio between the duct cell volume and the duct lumen, which is defined inversely to the main text in the XPPAUT code. vr was defined as the ratio of the duct cell volume to the duct lumen volume as in the main text. The model reproduces the figures found in the article. The model uses initial assignments for the lumen volume and events to trigger CFTR opening, so only tools supporting these features can be used to simulate it (eg. Copasi and SBW/Roadrunner).
