Background And Aims: Loss of activity of the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) susceptibility gene, protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 2 (), is associated with altered microbiome composition in both human subjects and mice. Further, expansion of the bacterial pathobiont, adherent-invasive (AIEC), is strongly linked to IBD pathogenesis. The mechanism by which intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) maintain equilibrium between commensal microbiota and immune cells to restrict invading pathobionts is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role of IEC-specific PTPN2 in regulating AIEC colonization.
Methods: Tamoxifen-inducible, intestinal epithelial cell-specific knockout mice ( ) and control mice were infected with either non-invasive K12, or fluorescent-tagged AIEC (AIEC) for four consecutive days or administered PBS. Subsequently, bacterial colonization in mouse tissues was quantified. mRNA and protein expression were assayed in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) or whole tissue lysates by PCR and Western blot. Tissue cytokine expression was determined by ELISA. Intestinal barrier function was determined by administration of 4 kDa FITC-dextran (FD4) or 70kDa Rhodamine-B dextran (RD70) fluorescent probes. Confocal microscopy was used to determine the localization of tight-junction proteins.
Results: mice exhibited increased AIEC - but not K12 - bacterial load in the distal colon compared to infected mice. The higher susceptibility to AIEC infection was associated with altered levels of antimicrobial peptide (AMPs). Ileal RNA expression of the alpha-defensin AMPs, and , as well as MMP7, was significantly lower in vs. mice, after AIEC but not K12 infection. Further, we observed increased tight junction-regulated permeability determined by elevated FD4 but not RD70 permeability in -K12 mice compared to their respective controls. This effect was further exacerbated in AIEC-infected mice. Further, mice displayed lower IL-22, IL-6, IL-17A cytokine expression post AIEC infection compared to controls. Recombinant IL-22 reversed the FD4 permeability defect and reduced bacterial burden in mice post AIEC challenge.
Conclusion: Our findings highlight that intestinal epithelial PTPN2 is crucial for mucosal immunity and gut homeostasis by promoting anti-bacterial defense mechanisms involving coordinated epithelial-immune responses to restrict pathobiont colonization.
