Title: Enteric infection coupled with chronic Notch pathway inhibition alters colonic mucus composition leading to dysbiosis, barrier disruption and colitis

Abstract

Intestinal mucus layer disruption and gut microflora modification in conjunction with tight junction (TJ) changes can increase colonic permeability that allows bacterial dissemination and intestinal and systemic disease. In a previous study, we showed that Citrobacter rodentium (CR)-induced colonic crypt hyperplasia and/or colitis is regulated by a functional cross-talk between the Notch and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. In the current study, mucus analysis in the colons of CR-infected (108 CFUs) and Notch blocker Dibenzazepine (DBZ, i.p.; 10μmol/Kg b.w.)-treated mice revealed significant alterations in the composition of trace O-glycans and complex type and hybrid N-glycans, compared to CR-infected mice alone that preceded/ accompanied alterations in 16S rDNA microbial community structure and elevated EUB338 staining. While mucin-degrading bacterium, Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) along with Enterobacteriaceae belonging to Proteobacteria phyla increased in the feces, antimi- crobial peptides Angiogenin-4, Intelectin-1 and Intelectin-2, and ISC marker Dclk1, exhibited dramatic decreases in the colons of CR-infected/DBZ-treated mice. Also evident was a loss of TJ and adherens junction protein immuno-staining within the colonic crypts that negatively impacted paracellular barrier. These changes coincided with the loss of Notch signaling and exacerbation of mucosal injury. In response to a cocktail of antibiotics (Metro- nidazole/ciprofloxacin) for 10 days, there was increased survivalmore » that coincided with: i) decreased levels of Proteobacteria, ii) elevated Dclk1 levels in the crypt and, iii) reduced paracellular permeability. Thus, enteric infections that interfere with Notch activity may pro- mote mucosal dysbiosis that is preceded by changes in mucus composition. Controlled use of antibiotics seems to alleviate gut dysbiosis but may be insufficient to promote colonic crypt regeneration.« less

Fig 1 Fig 1: Analysis of colon mucus samples for N-type glycosylation. A. FTMS m/z 800–1800 of mucus samples. Processing of mucus samples from uninfected (Normal), CR-infected (CR) and CR+DBZ-treated (CR+DBZ) mouse colons included removal of lipids and precipitation of proteins into a protein-rich powder that was subsequently treated with trypsin, purified,more » then treated with PNGase F, to remove N-linked glycans. A full FTMS spectrum was collected at 30,000 resolution with 3 microscans. The highest abundance glycans are primarily high mannose, and complex-type species containing N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc). MS/MS analysis of the highest abundance complex-type glycans appears as a z = 3 ion at m/z 966. B. Detection of glycans from each sample, as well as the results of each MS/MS analysis from total ion mapping (TIM) analysis. Some representative mucus glycan structures are shown together with the terminal end structures including the interconnecting linkages of the different monosaccharides, which are explained in the key. Red rectangles represent differences between uninfected (N) and CR-infected (CR) mucus samples while blue rectangles represent mucus glycans unique to CR+DBZ-treated mice.« less
