Abstract
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that function in cellular energy metabolism, intracellular and extracellular signalling, cellular fate and stress responses. Mitochondria of the intestinal epithelium, the cellular interface between self and enteric microbiota, have emerged as crucial in intestinal health. Mitochondrial dysfunction occurs in gastrointestinal diseases, including inflammatory bowel diseases and colorectal cancer. In this Review, we provide an overview of the current understanding of intestinal epithelial cell mitochondrial metabolism, function and signalling to affect tissue homeostasis, including gut microbiota composition. We also discuss mitochondrial-targeted therapeutics for inflammatory bowel diseases and colorectal cancer and the evolving concept of mitochondrial impairment as a consequence versus initiator of the disease.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. One of the main causes of colorectal cancer is inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), intestinal mesenchymal cells (IMCs), immune cells, and gut microbiota construct the main body of the colon and maintain colon homeostasis. In the development of colitis and colitis-associated carcinogenesis, the damage, disorder or excessive recruitment of different cells such as IECs, IMCs, immune cells and intestinal microbiota play different roles during these processes. This review aims to discuss the various roles of different cells and the crosstalk of these cells in transforming intestinal inflammation to cancer, which provides new therapeutic methods for chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and microbial therapy.

Dig Liver Dis 2023; 55:1362-1367. [PMID: 37321912 DOI: 10.1016/j.dld.2023.05.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with cirrhosis who carry NOD2 mutations are susceptible to bacterial infections. The aim was to evaluate the association of NOD2 mutations with hepatic and systemic hemodynamics in cirrhosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a secondary analysis of a prospectively collected database in the context of the screening for the INCA trial (EudraCT 2013-001626-26). This cross-sectional study compared hemodynamic findings according to NOD2 status in 215 patients. Patients were genotyped for NOD2 variants (p.N289S, p.R702W, p.G908R, c.3020insC, rs72796367). Hepatic hemodynamic study and right heart catheterization were performed. RESULTS Patients had a median age of 59 (IQR 53-66) years, and 144 (67%) were men. Most patients (64%) were Child-Pugh stage B. Sixty-six patients (31%) carried a NOD2 mutation, which was slightly more common among Child-Pugh stage C (p = 0.05), without differences in MELD [wild-type: 13 (10-16); NOD2 variants 13 (10-18)]. No differences in hepatic and systemic hemodynamics were observed according to NOD2 status. If excluding patients on prophylactic or therapeutic antibiotics, again no association between hepatic or systemic hemodynamics and NOD2 status could be observed. CONCLUSION NOD2 mutations are not associated with hepatic or systemic hemodynamic abnormalities in patients with decompensated cirrhosis, suggesting that other mechanisms leading to bacterial translocation predominate.

Ileocolonic Healing after Small Ileocecal Resection in Mice: NOD2 Deficiency Impairs Anastomotic Healing by Local Mechanisms. J Clin Med 2023; 12:3601.

Abstract
Ileocecal resection (ICR) is frequently performed in Crohn's disease (CD). NOD2 mutations are risk factors for CD. Nod2 knockout (ko) mice show impaired anastomotic healing after extended ICR. We further investigated the role of NOD2 after limited ICR. C57B16/J (wt) and Nod2 ko littermates underwent limited ICR including 1-2 cm terminal ileum and were randomly assigned to vehicle or MDP treatment. Bursting pressure was measured on POD 5, and the anastomosis was analyzed for matrix turn-over and granulation tissue. Wound fibroblasts from subcutaneously implanted sponges were used for comparison. The M1/M2 macrophage plasma cytokines were analyzed. Mortality was not different between groups. Bursting pressure was significantly decreased in ko mice. This was associated with less granulation tissue but was not affected by MDP. However, anastomotic leak (AL) rate tended to be lower in MDP-treated ko mice (29% vs. 11%, p = 0.07). mRNA expression of collagen-1α (col1 α), collagen-3α (col3 α), matrix metalloproteinase (mmp)2 and mmp9 was increased in ko mice, indicating increased matrix turn-over, specifically in the anastomosis. Systemic TNF-α expression was significantly lower in ko mice. Ileocolonic healing is impaired in Nod2 ko mice after limited ICR by local mechanisms maybe including local dysbiosis.

Abstract
Colonic goblet cells are specialized epithelial cells that secrete mucus to physically separate the host and its microbiota, thus preventing bacterial invasion and inflammation. How goblet cells control the amount of mucus they secrete is unclear. We found that constitutive activation of autophagy in mice via Beclin 1 enables the production of a thicker and less penetrable mucus layer by reducing endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Accordingly, genetically inhibiting Beclin 1-induced autophagy impairs mucus secretion, while pharmacologically alleviating ER stress results in excessive mucus production. This ER-stress-mediated regulation of mucus secretion is microbiota dependent and requires the Crohn's-disease-risk gene Nod2. Overproduction of mucus alters the gut microbiome, specifically expanding mucus-utilizing bacteria, such as Akkermansia muciniphila, and protects against chemical and microbial-driven intestinal inflammation. Thus, ER stress is a cell-intrinsic switch that limits mucus secretion, whereas autophagy maintains intestinal homeostasis by relieving ER stress.

Abstract
Objective Using network pharmacology and gut microbiota sequencing to investigate the probable mechanism of Huangqin decoction in the treatment of Diabetic enteritis (DE). Methods The mechanism of Huangqin decoction on DE was studied by combining network pharmacology and gut microbiota sequencing analysis. The core components and possible targets of Huangqin decoction were analyzed by network pharmacology. The effect of Huangqin decoction on microorganisms was investigated by gut microbiota sequencing. Results The results of gut microbiota sequencing analysis showed the abundance of TM7, Tenericutes, Chloroflexi, Cyanobacteria, Acidobacteria, WS6, [Prevotella], Helicobacter, Prevotella, Lactococcus, and Anaeroplasma in the Huangqin decoction group had a significant downward. Using a network pharmacology-related database, 141 main active components of Huangqin decoction were identified, as well as 256 corresponding component targets and 1777 corresponding disease targets; the disease targets and component targets were mapped, and topological analysis was used to determine the potential of Huangqin decoction in the treatment of DE. There were 156 targets, of which the top 20 genes were selected for GO and KEGG. The KEGG results showed that 134 pathways were enriched, which was partially consistent with the metabolic pathways of gut microbiota sequencing analysis. Conclusion The results show that Huangqin decoction can inhibit the expression of inflammatory factors and related inflammatory pathways in intestinal epithelial cells, thereby regulating the structure of intestinal flora. Using picurst2 for functional prediction and metabolic pathway statistics, seven metabolic pathways were obtained consistent with gut microbiota sequencing, and the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway may be its potential molecular mechanism. These results help to understand the mechanism of Huangqin decoction on DE and provide the theoretical basis for further study of Huangqin decoction.

A g-type lysozyme from the scallop Argopecten purpuratus participates in the immune response and in the stability of the hemolymph microbiota. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2022; 123:324-334.

Abstract
Lysozymes are antimicrobial acid hydrolases widely distributed in nature. They are located inside the cells in lysosomes, or they are secreted to the extracellular space, where they can lyse the cell wall of certain species of bacteria via hydrolysis of the peptidoglycan. Thus, lysozymes are bacteriolytic enzymes and play a major biological role in biodefense, as these enzymes can act as antibacterial and immune-modulating agents. In this study, we characterized a g-type lysozyme from the scallop Argopecten purpuratus named ApGlys. The cDNA sequence comprises an open reading frame (ORF) of 600 nucleotides, codifying for a putative protein of 200 amino acids with a signal peptide of 18 amino acids. The deduced mature protein sequence displays a molecular weight of 20.07 kDa and an isoelectric point (pI) of 6.49. ApGlys deduced protein sequence exhibits conserved residues associated with catalytic activity and substrate fixation in other g-type lysozymes. The phylogenetic analysis revealed a high degree of identity of ApGlys with other mollusk g-type lysozymes, which form a restricted and separated clade from the vertebrate lysozymes. ApGlys transcripts were constitutively and highly expressed in the digestive gland, and it was induced in hemocytes and gills of scallops after an immune challenge. Furthermore, the ApGlys protein was located inside hemocytes of immunostimulated scallops, determined by immunofluorescence analysis. Finally, the transcript silencing of ApGlys by RNA interference led to an increase of total culturable bacteria from the scallop hemolymph. Furthermore, we detected a higher diversity of the bacterial community in ApGlys-silenced scallops and an imbalance of certain bacterial groups present in the hemolymph by 16S rDNA deep amplicon sequencing. Overall, our results showed that ApGlys is a new member of scallop lysozymes that is implicated in the immune response and in the microbial homeostasis of A. purpuratus hemolymph.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) represents chronic recurrent intestinal inflammation resulting from various factors. Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) have been identified as the two major types of IBD. Currently, most of the drugs for IBD used commonly in the clinic have adverse reactions, and only a few drugs present long-lasting treatment effects. Moreover, issues of drug resistance and disease recurrence are frequent and difficult to resolve. Together, these issues cause difficulties in treating patients with IBD. Therefore, the development of novel therapeutic agents for the prevention and treatment of IBD is of significance. In this context, research on natural compounds exhibiting anti-inflammatory activity could be a novel approach to developing effective therapeutic strategies for IBD. Phytochemicals such as astragalus polysaccharide (APS), quercetin, limonin, ginsenoside Rd, luteolin, kaempferol, and icariin are reported to be effective in IBD treatment. In brief, natural compounds with anti-inflammatory activities are considered important candidate drugs for IBD treatment. The present review discusses the potential of certain natural compounds and their synthetic derivatives in the prevention and treatment of IBD.

Abstract
Paneth cells are the primary source of C-type lysozyme, a β-1,4-N-acetylmuramoylhydrolase that enzymatically processes bacterial cell walls. Paneth cells are normally present in human cecum and ascending colon, but are rarely found in descending colon and rectum; Paneth cell metaplasia in this region and aberrant lysozyme production are hallmarks of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathology. Here, we examined the impact of aberrant lysozyme production in colonic inflammation. Targeted disruption of Paneth cell lysozyme (Lyz1) protected mice from experimental colitis. Lyz1-deficiency diminished intestinal immune responses to bacterial molecular patterns and resulted in the expansion of lysozyme-sensitive mucolytic bacteria, including Ruminococcus gnavus, a Crohn's disease-associated pathobiont. Ectopic lysozyme production in colonic epithelium suppressed lysozyme-sensitive bacteria and exacerbated colitis. Transfer of R. gnavus into Lyz1-/- hosts elicited a type 2 immune response, causing epithelial reprograming and enhanced anti-colitogenic capacity. In contrast, in lysozyme-intact hosts, processed R. gnavus drove pro-inflammatory responses. Thus, Paneth cell lysozyme balances intestinal anti- and pro-inflammatory responses, with implications for IBD.

Abstract
The discovery of innate immune sensors (pattern recognition receptors, PRRs) has profoundly transformed the notion of innate immunity, in providing a mechanistic basis for host immune interactions with a wealth of environmental signals, leading to a variety of immune-mediated outcomes including instruction and activation of the adaptive immune arm. As part of this growing understanding of host-environmental cross talk, an intimate connection has been unveiled between innate immune sensors and signals perceived from the commensal microbiota, which may be regarded as a hub integrating a variety of environmental cues. Among cytosolic PRRs impacting on host homeostasis by interacting with the commensal microbiota are nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich repeat-containing protein receptors (NLRs), together with a number of cytosolic DNA sensors and the family of absent in melanoma (AIM)-like receptors (ALRs). NLR sensors have been a particular focus of research, and some NLRs have emerged as key orchestrators of inflammatory responses and host homeostasis. Some NLRs achieve this through the formation of cytoplasmic multiprotein complexes termed inflammasomes. More recently discovered PRRs include retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I)-like receptors (RLRs), cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), and STING. In the present review, they summarize recent advancements in knowledge on structure and function of cytosolic PRRs and their roles in host-microbiota cross talk and immune surveillance. In addition, we discuss their relevance for human health and disease and future therapeutic applications involving modulation of their activation and signaling.

Curr Med Chem 2020; 27:2059-2076. [PMID: 30182837 DOI: 10.2174/0929867325666180904115633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2018] [Revised: 07/29/2018] [Accepted: 08/11/2018] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) exhibits no defined aetiology. However, factors such as genetic and nitro-oxidative stress are associated with chronic inflammation and IBD progression to Colorectal Cancer (CRC). The present review discusses the association of nitro-oxidative stress, inflammation and Advanced Glycation End products (AGE) and their corresponding receptor (RAGE) in IBD and examines the connection between these factors and nuclear factors, such as Nuclear Factor Kappa B (NF-κB), factorerythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf2), and p53 Mutant (p53M). METHODS We searched the PubMed, ScienceDirect and Web of Science databases using a combination of the following terms: IBD, CRC, oxidative stress, inflammation, NF-κB, Nrf2, p53M, AGE and RAGE. RESULTS Oxidative stress and inflammation activated two cellular pathways, the nuclear expression of pro-inflammatory, pro-oxidant and pro-oncogenic genes based on NF-κB and p53M, which is associated with NF-κB activation, Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage and the expression of pro-oncogenic genes. Nrf2 stimulates the nuclear expression of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant systems and anti-inflammatory genes, and is inhibited by chronic oxidative stress, NF-κB and p53M. AGE/RAGE are involved in inflammation progression because RAGE polymorphisms and increased RAGE levels are found in IBD patients. Alterations of these pathways in combination with oxidative damage are responsible for IBD symptoms and the progression to CRC. CONCLUSION IBD is an inflammatory and nitro-oxidative stress-based bowel disease. Achieving a molecular understanding of the biochemical events and their complicated interactions will impact basic and applied research, animal models, and clinical trials.

Abstract
The gut-brain axis refers to the bidirectional communication between the enteric nervous system and the central nervous system. Mounting evidence supports the premise that the intestinal microbiota plays a pivotal role in its function and has led to the more common and perhaps more accurate term gut-microbiota-brain axis. Numerous studies have identified associations between an altered microbiome and neuroimmune and neuroinflammatory diseases. In most cases, it is unknown if these associations are cause or effect; notwithstanding, maintaining or restoring homeostasis of the microbiota may represent future opportunities when treating or preventing these diseases. In recent years, several studies have identified the diet as a primary contributing factor in shaping the composition of the gut microbiota and, in turn, the mucosal and systemic immune systems. In this review, we will discuss the potential opportunities and challenges with respect to modifying and shaping the microbiota through diet and nutrition in order to treat or prevent neuroimmune and neuroinflammatory disease.

Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that cannot be fully cured by medication or surgery. In the present study, the aim was to understand the underlying mechanisms of CD. Two CD microarray datasets were downloaded from The Gene Expression Omnibus database: GSE36807 (13 CD and 7 normal samples) and GSE59071 (8 CD and 11 normal samples). A series of bioinformatics analyses were conducted, including weighted gene co‑expression network analysis to identify stable modules, and analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between CD and normal samples. The common DEGs in the GSE36807 and GSE59071 datasets were screened. Subsequently, overlapping genes in the stable modules and the DEGs were selected to construct a protein‑protein interaction (PPI) network using Cytoscape software. Enrichment analysis of genes in the network was performed to explore their biological functions. A total of 10 stable modules and 927 DEGs were identified, of which 234 genes were shared in the stable modules and the DEGs. After removal of 32 uncharacterized genes, 202 genes were selected to build the PPI network. Low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), toll‑like receptor 2 (TLR2), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), forkhead box protein M1 (FOXM1) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) were revealed as key nodes with high degree. Pathway enrichment analysis demonstrated that LPL was enriched in the peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway. In conclusion, LDLR, TLR2, FOXM1 and NPY, as well as LPL in the PPAR signaling pathway may serve critical roles in the pathogenesis of CD.

Abstract
Nucleotide oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) is a major cytoplasmic sensor for pathogens and is critical for the clearance of cytosolic bacteria in mammals. However, studies regarding NOD2, especially the initiated signaling pathways, are scarce in teleost species. In this study, we identified a NOD2 molecule (PaNOD2) from ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis). Bioinformatics analysis showed the structure of NOD2 to be highly conserved during vertebrate evolution. Dual-luciferase reporter assays examined the activation of NF-κB signaling and Western blotting analysis detected the phosphorylation of three MAP kinases (p-38, Erk1/2, and JNK1/2). Functional study revealed that, like its mammalian counterparts, PaNOD2 was the receptor of the bacterial cell wall component muramyl dipeptide (MDP), and the leucine-rich repeat motif was responsible for the recognition and binding of PaNOD2 with the ligand. Overexpression of PaNOD2 activated the NF-κB signaling pathway, leading to the upregulation of inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α and IL-1β in HEK293T cells and ayu head kidney-derived monocytes/macrophages (MO/MΦ). Particularly, we found that PaNOD2 activated the MAPK signaling pathways, as indicated by the increased phosphorylation of p-38, Erk1/2, and JNK1/2, which have not been characterized in any teleost species previously. Our findings proved that the NOD2 molecule and initiated pathways are conserved between mammals and ayu. Therefore, ayu could be used as an animal model to investigate NOD2-based diseases and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD) protein, NOD2, belonging to the intracellular NOD-like receptor family, detects conserved motifs in bacterial peptidoglycan and promotes their clearance through activation of a proinflammatory transcriptional program and other innate immune pathways, including autophagy and endoplasmic reticulum stress. An inactive form due to mutations or a constitutive high expression of NOD2 is associated with several inflammatory diseases, suggesting that balanced NOD2 signaling is critical for the maintenance of immune homeostasis. In this review, we discuss recent developments about the pathway and mechanisms of regulation of NOD2 and illustrate the principal functions of the gene, with particular emphasis on its central role in maintaining the equilibrium between intestinal microbiota and host immune responses to control inflammation. Furthermore, we survey recent studies illustrating the role of NOD2 in several inflammatory diseases, in particular, inflammatory bowel disease, of which it is the main susceptibility gene.

Abstract
The importance of interactions between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract has been increasingly recognized in recent years. It has been proposed that dysregulation and abnormalities in the brain-gut axis contribute to the etiology of a variety of central nervous system disorders. Particularly, dysbiosis, or impaired microbiota, has been implicated in multiple neurological and psychological disorders. The present paper reviews current evidence and theories concerning the possible mechanisms by which microbiota dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia and major depressive disorder. Clinical trials that investigated the possibility of treating both illnesses by correcting and rebalancing microbiota with probiotics are also reviewed. Overall, despite the accumulated knowledge in this field, more studies are warranted and required to further our understanding of the brain-gut axis and the possibility of targeting microbiota as a treatment option for schizophrenia and major depressive disorder.

Abstract
All humans, animals, and plants are holobionts. Holobionts comprise the host and a myriad of interacting microorganisms-the microbiota. The hologenome encompasses the genome of the host plus the composite of all microbial genomes (the microbiome). In health, there is a fine-tuned and resilient equilibrium within the members of the microbiota and between them and the host. This relative stability is maintained by a high level of microbial diversity, a delicate bio-geographic distribution of microorganisms, and a sophisticated and intricate molecular crosstalk among the multiple components of the holobiont. Pathobionts are temporarily benign microbes with the potential, under modified ecosystem conditions, to become key players in disease. Pathobionts may be endogenous, living for prolonged periods of time inside or on the host, or exogenous, invading the host during opportunistic situations. In both cases, the end result is the transformation of the beneficial microbiome into a health-perturbing pathobiome. We hypothesize that probably all diseases of holobionts, acute or chronic, infectious or non-infectious, and regional or systemic, are characterized by a perturbation of the healthy microbiome into a diseased pathobiome.
