• W200029531 abstract "The intestinal mucosa is made up of complex secreted mucus layer consist of mainly mucin 2 (MUC2) and antimicrobial components that defend the underlining cellular barrier from intrusion by luminal microbiota and toxins. In inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), the mucosal integrity is compromised. This can result from a combination of altered host genetics, gut immune responses and environment factors. However, it is the presence of intestinal bacteria that is central to the pathogenesis of IBD. As part of the dynamic gut microbial flora, mucolytic bacteria produce a wide range of glycosidases that are able to remove the outer oligosaccharide chains of MUC2, which allow other luminal bacteria to further degrade the mucin. We hypothesised that increased mucolytic bacteria will cause excessive degradation of the mucus layer, which in turn, allow more luminal bacteria to be in close proximity to the underlining epithelial cells resulting in inflammation. Consistent with our group’s previous semi-quantitative bacterial 16S rRNA gene clone library analysis, we found increased Ruminococcus gnavus in non-inflamed ulcerative colitis (UC) mucosa. R. gnavus was previously isolated by others based on its mucolytic property. In this study, we quantify total mucosa-associated bacteria and mucolytic bacteria, namely, R. gnavus, R. torques, Akkermansia muciniphila and bifidobacteria. We were able to show quantitatively that total mucosa-associated bacteria were increased in IBD. There was also a population shift in the mucosa-associated mucolytic bacteria, which were increased overall. There was significantly more R. gnavus in non-inflamed IBD biopsies. For the first time, we were also able to demonstrate that R. gnavus can degrade human MUC2 in vitro. To examine whether the numerical association of R. gnavus in IBD does have functional influence on intestinal inflammation and Paneth cell antimicrobial peptide gene expression, we fed mice with R. gnavus. Interestingly, R. gnavus feeding did not result in histological or molecular evidence of gut inflammation; however, it was able to specifically induce Paneth cell cryptdins and lysozyme P genes expression in 3 week old, antibiotic pre-treated C57BL/6 mice. This demonstrated that R. gnavus is not a pathogenic bacterium, which will directly cause colitis. However, the increased Paneth cell response suggested the need for host innate defence when R. gnavus is increased. Other than bacterial degradation, altered host genetics will also influence the mucus barrier. There is evidence to suggest that the MUC2 gene is highly unstable and is susceptible to gene copy number variation (CNV). Therefore, we hypothesised that MUC2 CNV is present, which may result in altered oligomerisation of the MUC2 glycoprotein causing endoplasmic reticulum stress of the goblet cells that appears to be characteristic of UC. Currently, our data partly support the presence of MUC2 CNV. However, further investigation is required to verify the MUC2 CNV identity. Only then can a high throughput methodology be designed to screen a large population for any association with IBD." @default.
