Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) comprises a group of highly prevalent and chronic inflammatory intestinal tract diseases caused by multiple factors. Despite extensive research into the causes of the disease, IBD's pathogenic mechanisms remain unclear. Moreover, side effects of current IBD therapies restrict their long-term clinical use. In contrast, natural polysaccharides exert beneficial anti-IBD effects and offer advantages over current anti-IBD drugs, including enhanced safety and straightforward isolation from abundant and reliable sources, and thus may serve as components of functional foods and health products for use in IBD prevention and treatment. However, few reviews have explored natural polysaccharides with anti-IBD activities or the relationship between polysaccharide conformation and anti-IBD biological activity. Therefore, this review aims to summarize anti-IBD activities and potential clinical applications of polysaccharides isolated from plant, animal, microorganismal, and algal sources, while also exploring the relationship between polysaccharide conformation and anti-IBD bioactivity for the first time. Furthermore, potential mechanisms underlying polysaccharide anti-IBD effects are summarized, including intestinal microbiota modulation, intestinal inflammation alleviation, and intestinal barrier protection from IBD-induced damage. Ultimately, this review provides a theoretical foundation and valuable insights to guide the development of natural polysaccharide-containing functional foods and nutraceuticals for use as dietary IBD therapies.

Novel applications of Yinhua Miyanling tablets in ulcerative colitis treatment based on metabolomics and network pharmacology. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 128:155366. [PMID: 38537445 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Yinhua Miyanling tablets (YMT), comprising 10 Chinese medicinal compounds, is a proprietary Chinese medicine used in the clinical treatment of urinary tract infections. Medicinal compounds, extracts, or certain monomeric components in YMT all show good effect on ulcerative colitis (UC). However, no evidence supporting YMT as a whole prescription for UC treatment is available. PURPOSE To evaluate the anti-UC activity of YMT and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. The objective of the study was to provide evidence for the add-on development of YMT to treat UC. METHODS First, YMT's protective effect on the intestinal barrier was evaluated using a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced Caco-2 intestinal injury model. Second, the UC mouse model was established using dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) to determine YMT's influence on symptoms, inflammatory factors, intestinal barrier, and histopathological changes in the colon. Third, an integrated method combining metabolomics and network pharmacology was employed to screen core targets and key metabolic pathways with crucial roles in YMT's therapeutic effect on UC. Molecular docking was employed to identify the key targets with high affinity. Finally, western blotting was performed to validate the mechanism of YMT action against UC. RESULTS YMT enhanced the transepithelial electrical resistance value and improved the expression of proteins of the tight junctions dose-dependently in LPS-induced Caco-2 cells. UC mice treated with YMT exhibited alleviated pathological lesions of the colon tissue in the in vivo pharmacodynamic experiments. The colonic lengths tended to be normal, and the levels of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-6, and iNOS) along with those of the core enzymes (MPO, MDA, and SOD) improved. YMT effectively ameliorated DSS-induced colonic mucosal injury; pathological changes along with ultrastructure damage were significantly alleviated (evidenced by a relatively intact colon tissue, recovery of epithelial damage, repaired gland, reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells and epithelial cells arranged closely with dense microvilli). Seven key targets (IL-6, TNF-α, MPO, COX-2, HK2, TPH, and CYP1A2) and four key metabolic pathways (arachidonic acid metabolism, linoleate metabolism, glycolysis, and gluconeogenesis and tyrosine biosynthesis) were identified to play vital roles in the treatment on UC using YMT. CONCLUSIONS YMT exerts beneficial therapeutic effects on UC by regulating multiple endogenous metabolites, targets, and metabolic pathways, suggestive of its potential novel application in UC treatment.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a multifactorial chronic inflammation of the intestine and has become a global public health concern. A farnesoid X receptor (FXR) was recently reported to play a key role in hepatic-intestinal circulation, intestinal metabolism, immunity, and microbial regulation, and thus, it becomes a promising therapeutic target for IBD. In this study, we identified a series of nonbile acid FXR agonists, in which 33 novel compounds were designed and synthesized by the structure-based drug design strategy from our previously identified hit compound. Compound 33 exhibited a potent FXR agonistic activity, high intestinal distribution, good anti-inflammatory activity, and the ability to repair the colon epithelium in a DSS-induced acute enteritis model. Based on the results of RNA-seq analysis, we further investigated the therapeutic potential of the combination of compound 33 with 5-ASA. Overall, the results indicated that compound 33 is a promising drug candidate for IBD treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intestinal manipulation (IM)-induced inflammation could contribute to postoperative ileus (POI) pathophysiology via the modulation of prostanoid pathways. To identify the prostanoids involved, we aimed to characterize the profile of prostanoids and their synthesis enzyme expression in a murine model of POI and to determine whether the altered prostanoids could contribute to POI. METHODS Four or 14 h after IM in mice, gastrointestinal (GI) motility and intestinal epithelial barrier (IEB) permeability were assessed in vivo and ex vivo in Ussing chambers. Using high sensitivity liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, we characterized the tissue profile of polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolites in our experimental model. Finally, we evaluated in vivo the effects of the prostanoids studied upon IM-induced gut dysfunctions. RESULTS We first showed that 14 h after IM was significantly faster than jejunal transit at 4 h post-IM, although it remained significantly increased compared to the control. In contrast, we showed that IM-induced inflammation increase in jejunum permeability was similar after four and 14 h. We next showed that expression of prostacyclin synthase and hemopoietic prostaglandin-D synthase mRNA and their products were significantly reduced 14 h after IM as compared to controls. Furthermore, 15-deoxy-delta 12,14-Prostaglandin J2 reduced the IM-induced inflammation increase in IEB permeability but had no effect on GI motility. In contrast, PGI2 increased IM-induced IEB permeability and motility dysfunctions. CONCLUSIONS Arachidonic acid derivative contributes differentially to GI dysfunction in POI. The decrease of 15-deoxy-delta 12,14-Prostaglandin J2 levels induced by IM could contribute to impaired GI dysfunctions in POI and could be considered as putative therapeutic targets to restore barrier dysfunctions associated with POI.

Abstract
Background Despite numerous metabolomic studies on ulcerative colitis (UC), the results have been highly variable, making it challenging to identify key metabolic abnormalities in UC. Objectives This study aims to uncover key metabolites and metabolic pathways in UC by analyzing existing metabolomics data. Design A systematic review. Data sources and methods We conducted a comprehensive search in databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science) and relevant study references for metabolomic research on UC up to 28 December 2022. Significant metabolite differences between UC patients and controls were identified, followed by an analysis of relevant metabolic pathways. Results This review incorporated 78 studies, identifying 2868 differentially expressed metabolites between UC patients and controls. The metabolites were predominantly from 'lipids and lipid-like molecules' and 'organic acids and derivatives' superclasses. We found 101 metabolites consistently altered in multiple datasets within the same sample type and 78 metabolites common across different sample types. Of these, 62 metabolites exhibited consistent regulatory trends across various datasets or sample types. Pathway analysis revealed 22 significantly altered metabolic pathways, with 6 pathways being recurrently enriched across different sample types. Conclusion This study elucidates key metabolic characteristics in UC, offering insights into molecular mechanisms and biomarker discovery for the disease. Future research could focus on validating these findings and exploring their clinical applications.

Abstract
While the aetiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been linked to genetic susceptibility coupled with environmental factors, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Among the environmental factors, diet and the gut microbiota have been implicated as drivers of immune dysregulation in IBD. Indeed, epidemiologic studies have highlighted that the increase in incidence of IBD parallels the increase in dietary intake of omega-6 (n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and the change in balance of intake of n-6 to n-3 fatty acids. Experimental evidence suggests that the increase in n-6 PUFA intake increases cell membrane arachidonic acid, which is accompanied by the production of pro-inflammatory mediators as well as increased oxidative stress; together, this contributes to the development of chronic inflammation. However, it is also increasingly clear that some of the n-6 PUFA-derived mediators exert beneficial effects depending on the settings and timing of ingestion. In contrast to n-6, when n-3 PUFA eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid are incorporated into the cell membrane and are metabolized into less pro-inflammatory eicosanoids, as well as strong specialized pro-resolving mediators, which play a role in inflammation cessation. With a focus on preclinical models, we explore the relationship between dietary lipid, the gut microbiome, and intestinal inflammation.

Propionibacterium freudenreichii CIRM-BIA 129 mitigates colitis through S layer protein B-dependent epithelial strengthening. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 2024; 326:G163-G175.

Abstract
The growing incidence of human diseases involving inflammation and increased gut permeability makes the quest for protective functional foods more crucial than ever. Propionibacterium freudenreichii (P. freudenreichii) is a beneficial bacterium used in the dairy and probiotic industries. Selected strains exert anti-inflammatory effects, and the present work addresses whether the P. freudenreichii CIRM-BIA129, consumed daily in a preventive way, could protect mice from acute colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS), and more precisely, whether it could protect from intestinal epithelial breakdown induced by inflammation. P. freudenreichii CIRM-BIA129 mitigated colitis severity and inhibited DSS-induced permeability. It limited crypt length reduction and promoted the expression of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), without reducing interleukin-1β mRNA (il-1β) expression. In vitro, P. freudenreichii CIRM-BIA129 prevented the disruption of a Caco-2 monolayer induced by proinflammatory cytokines. It increased transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and inhibited permeability induced by inflammation, along with an increased ZO-1 expression. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from P. freudenreichii CIRM-BIA129, carrying the surface layer protein (SlpB), reproduced the protective effect of P. freudenreichii CIRM-BIA129. A mutant strain deleted for slpB (ΔslpB), or EVs from this mutant strain, had lost their protective effects and worsened both DSS-induced colitis and inflammation in vivo. These results shown that P. freudenreichii CIRM-BIA129 daily consumption has the potential to greatly alleviate colitis symptoms and, particularly, to counter intestinal epithelial permeability induced by inflammation by restoring ZO-1 expression through mechanisms involving S-layer protein B. They open new avenues for the use of probiotic dairy propionibacteria and/or postbiotic fractions thereof, in the context of gut permeability.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Propionibacterium freudenreichii reduces dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced intestinal permeability in vivo. P. freudenreichii does not inhibit inflammation but damages linked to inflammation. P. freudenreichii inhibits intestinal epithelial breakdown through S-layer protein B. The protective effects of P. freudenreichii depend on S-layer protein B. Extracellular vesicles from P. freudenreichii CB 129 mimic the protective effect of the probiotic.

Abstract
Introduction The intestinal barrier plays a crucial role in distinguishing foods from toxins. Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is one of the lipid-derived autacoids synthesized from cell membrane-derived arachidonic acid. We previously reported that pharmacological stimulation of PGD2 receptor, D prostanoid 1 (DP1) attenuated the symptoms of azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis and ovalbumin-induced food allergy in mouse models. These observations suggested that DP1 stimulation protects the intestinal barrier. The present study aimed to uncover the effects of DP1 stimulation on intestinal barrier function and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Materials and methods Intestinal permeability was assessed in mice by measuring the transfer of orally administered fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran (40 kDa) into the blood. The DP1 agonist BW245C (1 mg/kg) was administered 10 min prior to dextran administration. The intestinal permeability was confirmed using the ex vivo everted sac method. Tight junction integrity was evaluated in vitro by measuring the transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) in the human intestinal epithelial cell line Caco-2. Mucus secretion was assessed by observing Alcian Blue-stained intestinal sections. Results Pharmacological DP1 stimulation reduced intestinal permeability both in vivo and ex vivo. Immunohistochemical staining showed that DP1 was strongly expressed on the apical side of the epithelial cells. DP1 stimulation did not affect TER in vitro but induced mucus secretion from goblet cells. Mucus removal by a mucolytic agent N-acetyl-l-cysteine canceled the inhibition of intestinal permeability by DP1 stimulation. Conclusion These observations suggest that pharmacological DP1 stimulation decreases intestinal permeability by stimulating mucus secretion.

Abstract
Prostaglandin I2 synthase (PTGIS) is a member of the cytochrome P450 family. Studies have revealed that differential expression of the PTGIS gene is closely related to the pathological and physiological processes of many diseases, including breast cancer, oral squamous cell carcinoma, and head and neck cancer. However, the mechanism of action of the PTGIS gene in colorectal cancer is not fully understood. This study explored the role of PTGIS in colorectal cancer through comprehensive bioinformatics analysis and in vitro experiments, and found that the expression of PTGIS gene in colorectal cancer tissue was significantly lower than that in normal colorectal tissue (P < 0.05), and high expression of PTGIS gene was associated with poor prognosis in patients (P < 0.05). The KEGG results showed that PTGIS-related genes were mainly enriched in metabolic pathways, arachidonic acid metabolism, steroid biosynthesis, and cancer pathways. The expression of PTGIS may be related to immune infiltration. Cell experiments showed that PTGIS was expressed at a lower level in cancer. Overexpression of PTGIS inhibited apoptosis and promoted proliferation, invasion, and migration ability of SW480 colorectal cancer cells. Analysis of the PTGIS gene in this study provides a theoretical basis for further exploring the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer and finding more accurate new targets for early screening and treatment of the cancer.

Abstract
The enteric nervous system (ENS) continues to dazzle scientists with its ability to integrate signals, from the outside as well as from the host, to accurately regulate digestive functions. Composed of neurons and enteric glial cells, the ENS interplays with numerous neighboring cells through the reception and/or the production of several types of mediators. In particular, ENS can produce and release n-6 oxylipins. These lipid mediators, derived from arachidonic acid, play a major role in inflammatory and allergic processes, but can also regulate immune and nervous system functions. As such, the study of these n-6 oxylipins on the digestive functions, their cross talk with the ENS and their implication in pathophysiological processes is in full expansion and will be discussed in this review.

Abstract
As a hallmark of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), elevated intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) death compromises the gut barrier, activating the inflammatory response and triggering more IEC death. However, the precise intracellular machinery that prevents IEC death and breaks this vicious feedback cycle remains largely unknown. Here, we report that Grb2-associated binder 1 (Gab1) expression is decreased in patients with IBD and inversely correlated with IBD severity. Gab1 deficiency in IECs accounted for the exacerbated colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate owing to sensitizing IECs to receptor-interaction protein kinase 3-mediated (RIPK3-mediated) necroptosis, which irreversibly disrupted the homeostasis of the epithelial barrier and promoted intestinal inflammation. Mechanistically, Gab1 negatively regulated necroptosis signaling through inhibiting the formation of RIPK1/RIPK3 complex in response to TNF-α. Importantly, administration of RIPK3 inhibitor revealed a curative effect in epithelial Gab1-deficient mice. Further analysis indicated mice with Gab1 deletion were prone to inflammation-associated colorectal tumorigenesis. Collectively, our study defines a protective role for Gab1 in colitis and colitis-driven colorectal cancer by negatively regulating RIPK3-dependent necroptosis, which may serve as an important target to address necroptosis and intestinal inflammation-related disease.

Abstract
Luminal antigens, nutrients, metabolites from commensal bacteria, bile acids, or neuropeptides influence the function and trafficking of immune cells in the intestine. Among the immune cells in the gut, innate lymphoid cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, mast cells, and innate lymphoid cells, play an important role for the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis through a rapid immune response to luminal pathogens. These innate cells are influenced by several luminal factors, possibly leading to dysregulated gut immunity and intestinal disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and intestinal allergy. Luminal factors are sensed by distinct neuro-immune cell units, which also have a strong impact on immunoregulation of the gut. Immune cell trafficking from the blood stream through the lymphatic organ to lymphatics, an essential function for immune responses, is also modulated by luminal factors. This mini-review examines knowledge of luminal and neural factors that regulate and modulate response and migration of leukocytes including innate immune cells, some of which are clinically associated with pathological intestinal inflammation.

Abstract
Background and aims Maternal diet plays a key role in preventing or contributing to the development of chronic diseases, such as obesity, allergy, and brain disorders. Supplementation of maternal diet with prebiotics has been shown to reduce the risk of food allergies and affect the intestinal permeability in offspring later in life. However, its role in modulating the development of other intestinal disorders, such as colitis, remains unknown. Therefore, we investigated the effects of prebiotic supplementation in pregnant mice on the occurrence of colitis in their offspring. Materials and methods Offspring from mothers, who were administered prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharides and inulin during gestation or fed a control diet, were subjected to three cycles of dextran sulphate sodium (DSS) treatment to induce chronic colitis, and their intestinal function and disease activity were evaluated. Colonic remodelling, gut microbiota composition, and lipidomic and transcriptomic profiles were also assessed. Results DSS-treated offspring from prebiotic-fed mothers presented a higher disease score, increased weight loss, and increased faecal humidity than those from standard diet-fed mothers. DSS-treated offspring from prebiotic-fed mothers also showed increased number of colonic mucosal lymphocytes and macrophages than the control group, associated with the increased colonic concentrations of resolvin D5, protectin DX, and 14-hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid, and modulation of colonic gene expression. In addition, maternal prebiotic supplementation induced an overabundance of eight bacterial families and a decrease in the butyrate caecal concentration in DSS-treated offspring. Conclusion Maternal prebiotic exposure modified the microbiota composition and function, lipid content, and transcriptome of the colon of the offspring. These modifications did not protect against colitis, but rather sensitised the mice to colitis development.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), a heterogeneous group of inflammatory conditions that encompass both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, represent a major public health concern. The etiology of IBD is not yet fully understood and no cure is available, with current treatments only showing long-term effectiveness in a minority of patients. A need to increase our knowledge on IBD pathophysiology is growing, to define preventive measures, to improve disease outcome, and to develop new effective and lasting treatments. IBD pathogenesis is sustained by aberrant immune responses, associated with alterations of the intestinal epithelial barrier (IEB), modifications of the enteric nervous system, and changes in microbiota composition. Currently, most of the treatments target the inflammation and the immune system, but holistic approaches targeting lifestyle and diet improvements are emerging. As dysbiosis is involved in IBD pathogenesis, pre-, pro-, syn-, and postbiotics are used/tested to reduce the inflammation or strengthen the IEB. The present review will resume these works, pointing out the stage of life, the duration, and the environmental conditions that should go along with microbiota or microbiota-derived treatments.

Abstract
Intestinal barrier disruption due to the intestinal epithelial cells’ (IECs) death is one of the critical pathological features of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). SM934, an artemisinin analog, has previously been proven to ameliorate colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in mice by suppressing inflammation response. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of SM934 on the epithelial barrier and the underlying mechanism in trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis mice. We demonstrated that SM934 restored the body weight and colon length, and improved the intestine pathology. Furthermore, SM934 treatment preserved the intestinal barrier function via decreasing the intestinal permeability, maintaining epithelial tight junction (TJ) protein expressions, and preventing apoptosis of epithelial cells, which were observed both in the colon tissue and the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced human colonic epithelial cell line HT-29. Specifically, SM934 reduced the pyroptosis of IECs exposed to pathogenic signaling and inhibited pyroptosis-related factors such as NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), adapter apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC), cysteine protease-1 (caspase-1), gasdermin (GSDMD), interleukin-18 (IL-18), and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) both in colon tissue and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) co-stimulated HT-29 cells in vitro. Moreover, SM934 interdicted pyroptosis via blocking the transduction of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) signaling pathways. In conclusion, SM934 protected TNBS-induced colitis against intestinal barrier disruption by inhibiting the apoptosis and pyroptosis of epithelial cells via the NLRP3/NF-κB/MAPK signal axis, and intestinal barrier protection in company with an anti-inflammatory strategy might yield greater benefits in IBD treatment.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is closely associated with disruption of intestinal epithelial tight junction proteins. A variety of studies have confirmed that resveratrol (RSV), a natural polyphenolic compound, has a potential anti-inflammatory effect and can regulate the expression of tight junction proteins. However, the mechanism by which RSV regulates the expression of tight junction proteins in the intestinal epithelium remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the potential effect of RSV on tight junction proteins in an HT-29 cell model of inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and explored its mechanism of action. First, the downregulated expression of the tight junction proteins occludin, ZO-1, and claudin-1 in the HT-29 cell model of inflammation induced by LPS was reversed by incubation with RSV, accompanied by a decrease in the expression of tumor necrosis factor α-converting enzyme (TACE). Additionally, the Notch1 pathway was attenuated and the expression of the inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α was decreased by treatment with RSV. Second, after Jagged-1 was used in combination with RSV to reactivate the Notch1 pathway, the protective effects of RSV against the LPS-induced reductions in the expression of the tight junction proteins occludin, ZO-1, and claudin-1 and the decreases in the levels of the inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α were abolished. These results suggest that RSV might regulate the expression of tight junction proteins by attenuating the Notch1 pathway.

Abstract
Aim of the study: To evaluate the protective effect and mechanism of shenling baizhu powder (SBP) on TNBS-induced colitis. Methods: Rats were given TNBS to establish the model of colitis and subsequently treated with different doses of SBP or mesalamine (MES). In addition, the expression of the TLR5/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway and critical targets of the intestinal mucosal barrier was detected by immunochemical analysis techniques. Results: SBP significantly ameliorated the symptoms of TNBS-induced colitis in rats and reduced the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. SBP could effectively strengthen epithelial barrier integrity in TNBS-induced colitis by increasing the secretion of mucin and tight junction and inhibiting apoptosis. Furthermore, we identified the crucial role of the TLR5/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway in exerting the therapeutic effect of SBP. Conclusion: The results of our study suggest that SBP has therapeutic effects on TNBS-induced colitis and potential value in treating and maintaining remission of colitis.

Abstract
Dysfunctions in the intestinal barrier, associated with an altered paracellular pathway, are commonly observed in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), principally known as a cellular energy sensor, has also been shown to play a key role in the stabilization and assembly of tight junctions. Here, we aimed to investigate the contribution of intestinal epithelial AMPK to the initiation, progression and resolution of acute colitis. We also tested the hypothesis that protection mediated by metformin administration on intestinal epithelium damage required AMPK activation. A dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis model was used to assess disease progression in WT and intestinal epithelial cell (IEC)-specific AMPK KO mice. Barrier integrity was analyzed by measuring paracellular permeability following dextran-4kDa gavage and pro-inflammatory cytokines and tight junction protein expression. The deletion of intestinal epithelial AMPK delayed intestinal injury repair after DSS exposure and was associated with a slower re-epithelization of the intestinal mucosa coupled with severe ulceration and inflammation, and altered barrier function. Following intestinal injury, IEC AMPK KO mice displayed a lower goblet cell counts with concomitant decreased Muc2 gene expression, unveiling an impaired restitution of goblet cells and contribution to wound healing process. Metformin administration during the recovery phase attenuated the severity of DSS-induced colitis through improvement in intestinal repair capacity in both WT and IEC AMPK KO mice. Taken together, these findings demonstrate a critical role for IEC-expressed AMPK in regulating mucosal repair and epithelial regenerative capacity following acute colonic injury. Our studies further underscore the therapeutic potential of metformin to support repair of the injured intestinal epithelium, but this effect is conferred independently of intestinal epithelial AMPK.

Abstract
Evidence suggests that periodontitis contributes to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. However, few studies have examined the role of swallowing and saliva in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal diseases. Saliva contains an enormous number of oral bacteria and is swallowed directly into the intestine. Here, we explored the influence of periodontitis salivary microbiota on colonic inflammation and possible mechanisms in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. The salivary microbiota was collected from healthy individuals and those with periodontitis and gavaged to C57BL/6 mice. Periodontitis colitis was induced by DSS for 5 d and ligature for 1 wk. The degree of colon inflammation was evaluated through hematoxylin and eosin staining, ELISA, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Immune parameters were measured with quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence. The gut microbiota and metabolome analyses were performed via 16S rRNA gene sequencing and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Although no significant colitis-associated phenotypic changes were found under physiologic conditions, periodontitis salivary microbiota exacerbated colitis in a periodontitis colitis model after DSS induction. The immune response more closely resembled the pathology of ulcerative colitis, including aggravated macrophage M2 polarization and Th2 cell induction (T helper 2). Inflammatory bowel disease-associated microbiota, such as Blautia, Helicobacter, and Ruminococcus, were changed in DSS-induced colitis after periodontitis salivary microbiota gavage. Periodontitis salivary microbiota decreased unsaturated fatty acid levels and increased arachidonic acid metabolism in DSS-induced colitis, which was positively correlated with Aerococcus and Ruminococcus, suggesting the key role of these metabolic events and microbes in the exacerbating effect of periodontitis salivary microbiota on experimental colitis. Our study demonstrated that periodontitis contributes to the pathogenesis of colitis through the swallowing of salivary microbiota, confirming the role of periodontitis in systemic disease and providing new insights into the etiology of gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases.
