Abstract (VSports手机版)

Background: The predominance of specific bacteria such as adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) within the Crohn's disease (CD) intestine remains poorly understood with little evidence uncovered to support a selective pressure underlying their presence VSports手机版. Intestinal ethanolamine is however readily accessible during periods of intestinal inflammation, and enables pathogens to outcompete the host microbiota under such circumstances. .

Methods: Quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) to determine expression of genes central to ethanolamine metabolism; transmission electron microscopy to detect presence of bacterial microcompartments (MCPs); in vitro infections of both murine and human macrophage cell lines examining intracellular replication of the AIEC-type strain LF82 and clinical E. coli isolates in the presence of ethanolamine; determination of E. coli ethanolamine utilization (eut) operon transcription in faecal samples from healthy patients, patients with active CD and the same patients in remission following treatment V体育安卓版. .

Results: Growth on the intestinal short chain fatty acid propionic acid (PA) stimulates significantly increased transcription of the eut operon (fold change relative to glucose: >16. 9; p-value <. 01). Additionally ethanolamine was accessible to intra-macrophage AIEC and stimulated significant increases in growth intracellularly when it was added extracellularly at concentrations comparable to those in the human intestine V体育ios版. Finally, qRT-PCR indicated that expression of the E. coli eut operon was increased in children with active CD compared to healthy controls (fold change increase: >4. 72; P < . 02). After clinical remission post-exclusive enteral nutrition treatment, the same CD patients exhibited significantly reduced eut expression (Pre vs Post fold change decrease: >15. 64; P < . 01). .

Interpretation: Our data indicates a role for ethanolamine metabolism in selecting for AIEC that are consistently overrepresented in the CD intestine VSports最新版本. The increased E. coli metabolism of ethanolamine seen in the intestine during active CD, and its decrease during remission, indicates ethanolamine use may be a key factor in shaping the intestinal microbiome in CD patients, particularly during times of inflammation.

PA stimulates AIEC degradation of ethanolamine. Anaerobic growth (OD600nm) of LF82, LF82-PA and their corresponding eutR knock out mutants in minimal media (NCE) supplemented with ethanolamine (20 mM), MgSO4 (1 mM), trace metals and sodium thiosulphate (40 mM). Data were analysed using a two-way ANOVA with Tukey; p < .001 ***. Only significant differences between LF82 and LF82-PA are shown. There were no significant differences between mutant strains at any time point.

Growth on PA stimulates the production of bacterial MCPs for the utilization of ethanolamine as a carbon source. For TEM, cultures of LF82 were grown in NCE media supplemented with cobalamin (200 nM) and either (a) glucose or (b) PA, at a final concentration of 20 mM. (c) A close up of a MCP-containing outer membrane vesicle from a PA supplemented culture is shown. qRT-PCR was conducted on LF82 grown in NCE media supplemented with cobalamin (200 nM) and either glucose (G), propionic acid (PA) 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PD) or ethanolamine (E) at a final concentration of 20 mM. Relative fold change of (d) prpB, (e) pduC and (f) eutS were measured relative to their expression in the presence of glucose, using 16S rRNA as an internal control. Four independent biological replicates were performed. Data are expressed as relative fold change ± SD and were analysed using a one-way ANOVA with Tukey; p < .05 *; p < .001 ***.

For all values, the mean ± SD of three independent biological replicates are shown. Statistical analyses were preformed using GraphPad Prism, with data analysed by two-way ANOVA (p < .05 *; p < .01 **; p < .001 ***).

qRT-PCR of eutS in healthy patients, active Crohn's disease patients and Crohn's disease patients following EEN. Ethanolamine utilization was determined by abundance of eutS transcripts. eutS was amplified using primers designed against LF82. Transcript levels were normalized to 16S rRNA transcripts. Healthy samples (n = 9); Crohn's disease samples pre-treatment (CD pre; n = 10); Crohn's disease samples post-treatment (CD post; n = 10). Crohn's disease samples pre- and post-treatment were paired. Patients were marked as responders (squares) and non-responders (triangles) based on their drop in calprotectin levels (Supplementary Table S1). Statistical analyses were preformed using GraphPad Prism, with data analysed by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunns multiple comparisons post-test (p < .05 *; p < .01 **).
