RESUMO

Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been found to be associated with abnormalities in several organs, including the intestine. These conditions can lead to changes in gut homeostasis, compromising tolerance to luminal antigens and increasing susceptibility to food allergies. The underlying mechanisms for this phenomenon are not yet fully understood. In this study, we investigated changes in the intestinal mucosa of diet-induced obese mice and found that they exhibited increased gut permeability and reduced Treg cells frequency. Upon oral treatment with ovalbumin (OVA), obese mice failed to develop oral tolerance. However, hyperglycemia treatment improved intestinal permeability and oral tolerance induction in mice. Furthermore, we observed that obese mice exhibited a more severe food allergy to OVA, and this allergy was alleviated after treatment with a hypoglycemic drug. Importantly, our findings were translated to obese humans. Individuals with T2D had higher serum IgE levels and downregulated genes related to gut homeostasis. Taken together, our results suggest that obesity-induced hyperglycemia can lead to a failure in oral tolerance and to exacerbation of food allergy. These findings shed light on the mechanisms underlying the relationship among obesity, T2D, and gut mucosal immunity, which could inform the development of new therapeutic approaches.
