Introduction: Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) provide the frontline responses to the gut microbiota for maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Our previous work revealed that IEC-derived components promote the beneficial effects of a commensal and probiotic bacterium, GG (LGG). This study aimed to elucidate the regulatory effects of IEC-derived components on LGG at the molecular level.
Methods: Differential gene expression in LGG cultured with IEC-derived components at the timepoint between the exponential and stationary phase was studied by RNA sequencing and functional analysis.
Results: The transcriptomic profile of LGG cultured with IEC-derived components was significantly different from that of control LGG, with 231 genes were significantly upregulated and 235 genes significantly down regulated (FDR <0.05). The Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COGs) and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis demonstrated that the predominant genes enriched by IEC-derived components are involved in nutrient acquisition, including transporters for amino acids, metals, and sugars, biosynthesis of amino acids, and in the biosynthesis of cell membrane and cell wall, including biosynthesis of fatty acid and lipoteichoic acid. In addition, genes associated with cell division and translation are upregulated by IEC-derived components. The outcome of the increased transcription of these genes is supported by the result that IEC-derived components significantly promoted LGG growth. The main repressed genes are associated with the metabolism of amino acids, purines, carbohydrates, glycerophospholipid, and transcription, which may reflect regulation of metabolic mechanisms in response to the availability of nutrients in bacteria.
Discussion: These results provide mechanistic insight into the interactions between the gut microbiota and the host.

Objective: We sought to investigate the role of interleukin (IL)-20 in IBD and experimental colitis.
Design: Experimental colitis was induced in mice deficient in components of the IL-20 and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)2 signalling pathways. In vivo imaging, high-resolution mini-endoscopy and histology were used to assess intestinal inflammation.

Introduction: Early life exposure to non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDO) or microbial components is known to affect immune development. NDO in combination with a TLR9 agonist mimicking bacterial triggers (CpG) promoted the secretion of galectins through unknown pathways. We aimed to study the contribution of exosomes in epithelial galectin secretion and subsequent immunoregulation upon exposure to a mixture of NDO by inhibiting exosome biogenesis.

The innate immune system detects pathogens and initiates adaptive immune responses. Inflammasomes are central components of the innate immune system, but whether inflammasomes provide sufficient signals to activate adaptive immunity is unclear. In intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), inflammasomes activate a lytic form of cell death called pyroptosis, leading to epithelial cell expulsion and the release of cytokines.

Interaction between intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and the underlying immune systems is critical for maintaining intestinal immune homeostasis and mounting appropriate immune responses. We have previously showed that the T helper type 1 (T1) cytokine IL-12 plays a key role in the delicate immunological balance in the gut and the lack of appropriate levels of IL-12 had important consequences for health and disease, particularly with regard to food allergy. Here, we sought to understand the role of IL-12 in the regulation of lymphoepithelial cross talk and how this interaction affects immune responses locally and systemically.
