Intestinal Dysbiosis

Background:While it is known that microbial dysbiosis is associated with the onset of rheumatoid arthritis, mechanistic insights how it facilitates the development of arthritis remained largely elusive to date. It is especially interesting how microbial dysbiosis affects the transition from asymptomatic autoimmunity to arthritis. We speculated that a breakdown of intestinal barrier function caused by microbial dysbiosis allows immune cells to shuttle from the gut to the joints.Objectives:To test whether intestinal barrier function is impaired before the onset of human RA and experimental arthritis and to seek for evidence that immune cells from the gut migrate to the joints.Methods:In a longitudinal cohort of RA-at risk individuals markers of disturbed intestinal barrier function, such as zonulin, were analysed and linked to RA onset. Furthermore, new-onset RA patients were assessed for gut leakiness and their intestinal biopsies for the expression of tight junction proteins and immune cell infiltration. In the murine model of collagen-induced arthritis, sequential analysis of intestinal dysbiosis, intestinal barrier function and arthritis onset was carried out. Additionally, barrier function was assessed on intestinal organoids exposed to faecal supernatants from eu- and dysbiotic mice with and without inhibition of zonulin. Furthermore, three types of interventions restoring intestinal barrier function were carried out for testing their effects on the inhibition of arthritis onset. Finally, photo- converted cells from the gut were traced in the joints to test for cellular trafficking from one to the other compartment.Results:Zonulin, a potent regulator for intestinal tight junctions, was elevated in autoimmune mice and men before the onset of arthritis and predicted the onset of human RA. Intestinal barrier functions as well as epithelial tight junctions were decreased before the onset of experimental arthritis and at onset of human RA. In mice, induction of autoimmunity was followed by rapid intestinal dysbiosis followed by gut leakiness before arthritis started. Faecal supernatants of arthritic mice induce epithelial barrier dysfunction in intestinal organoids in zonulin dependent manner. Restoration of the intestinal barrier in the pre-phase of arthritis using butyrate, CB1R agonist or zonulin antagonist larazotide inhibited the development of arthritis. Finally, using photoconvertible mice, gut-borne immune cells were identified that homed to the joints when barrier function was impaired.Conclusion:In summary, these data show the intestinal barrier dysfunction precedes the onset of RA and allows the trafficking of immune cells from the gut to the joints. Targeting of intestinal tight junction function may therefore allow preventing the onset of RA.Acknowledgments:Funded by the DFG-FOR2886 PANDORA, DFG–CRC118, Staedtler foundation, Johannes und Frieda Marohn-Stiftung, Else Kröner-Fresenius foundation, Interdisciplinary Centre for Clinical Research, Erlangen (IZKF), BMBF-MASCARA and the IMI funded projectRTCure.Disclosure of Interests:Mario Zaiss: None declared, Narges Taijc: None declared, Kerstin Sarter: None declared, Vugar Azizov: None declared, laura Bucci: None declared, Yubin Luo: None declared, Juan de Dios Cañete: None declared, francesco ciccia Grant/research support from: pfizer, novartis, roche, Consultant of: pfizer, novartis, lilly, abbvie, Speakers bureau: pfizer, novartis, lilly, abbvie, Georg Schett Speakers bureau: AbbVie, BMS, Celgene, Janssen, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Roche and UCB

Objectives. Substantial studies have demonstrated that an elevated concentration of deoxycholic acid (DCA) in the colonic lumen may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of intestinal barrier dysfunction and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effects of GYY4137, as a novel and synthetic H2S donor, on the injury of intestinal barrier induced by sodium deoxycholate (SDC) both in vivo and in vitro. Methods. In this study, Caco-2 monolayers and mouse models with high SDC concentration in the lumen were used to study the effect of GYY4137 on intestinal barrier dysfunction induced by SDC and its underlying mechanisms. Results. In Caco-2 monolayers, a short period of addition of SDC increased the permeability of monolayers obviously, changed distribution of tight junctions (TJs), and improved the phosphorylation level of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and myosin light chain (MLC). However, pretreatment with GYY4137 markedly ameliorated the SDC-induced barrier dysfunction. Being injected with GYY4137 could enable mice to resist the SDC-induced injury of the intestinal barrier. Besides, GYY4137 promoted the recovery of the body weight and intestinal barrier histological score of mice with the gavage of SDC. GYY4137 also attenuated the decreased expression level of TJs in mice treated with SDC. Conclusion. Taken together, this research suggests that GYY4137 preserves the intestinal barrier from SDC-induced injury via suppressing the activation of P-MLCK-P-MLC2 signaling pathway and increasing the expression level of tight junctions.
