RESUMO

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Crohn's disease (CD) globally emerges with Westernization of lifestyle and nutritional habits. However, a specific dietary constituent that comprehensively evokes gut inflammation in human inflammatory bowel diseases remains elusive. We aimed to delineate how increased intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in a Western diet, known to impart risk for developing CD, affects gut inflammation and disease course. We hypothesized that the unfolded protein response and antioxidative activity of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), which are compromised in human CD epithelium, compensates for metabolic perturbation evoked by dietary PUFAs. METHODS: We phenotyped and mechanistically dissected enteritis evoked by a PUFA-enriched Western diet in 2 mouse models exhibiting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress consequent to intestinal epithelial cell (IEC)-specific deletion of X-box binding protein 1 (Xbp1) or Gpx4. We translated the findings to human CD epithelial organoids and correlated PUFA intake, as estimated by a dietary questionnaire or stool metabolomics, with clinical disease course in 2 independent CD cohorts. RESULTS: PUFA excess in a Western diet potently induced ER stress, driving enteritis in Xbp1-/-IEC and Gpx4+/-IEC mice. ω-3 and ω-6 PUFAs activated the epithelial endoplasmic reticulum sensor inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α) by toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) sensing of oxidation-specific epitopes. TLR2-controlled IRE1α activity governed PUFA-induced chemokine production and enteritis. In active human CD, ω-3 and ω-6 PUFAs instigated epithelial chemokine expression, and patients displayed a compatible inflammatory stress signature in the serum. Estimated PUFA intake correlated with clinical and biochemical disease activity in a cohort of 160 CD patients, which was similarly demonstrable in an independent metabolomic stool analysis from 199 CD patients. CONCLUSIONS: We provide evidence for the concept of PUFA-induced metabolic gut inflammation which may worsen the course of human CD. Our findings provide a basis for targeted nutritional therapy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In cirrhosis, the nitric oxide-soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway is impaired, which contributes to increased intrahepatic vascular resistance (IHVR) and fibrogenesis. We investigated if sGC stimulation (riociguat (RIO)), sGC activation (cinaciguat (CINA)) or phosphodiesterase (PDE)-5 inhibition (tadalafil (TADA)) improves portal hypertension (PHT) and liver fibrosis. METHODS: Fifty male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent bile-duct ligation (BDL) or sham operation. RIO (0.5 mg/kg), CINA (1 mg/kg), TADA (1.5 mg/kg) or vehicle (VEH) was administered from weeks 2 to 4 after BDL. At week 4, invasive haemodynamic measurements were performed, and liver fibrosis was assessed by histology (chromotrope-aniline blue (CAB), Picro-Sirius red (PSR)) and hepatic hydroxyproline content. RESULTS: Cirrhotic bile duct-ligated rats presented with PHT (13.1 ± 1.0 mmHg) and increased IHVR (4.9 ± 0.5 mmHg⋅min/mL). Both RIO (10.0 ± 0.7 mmHg, p = 0.021) and TADA (10.3 ± 0.9 mmHg, p = 0.050) decreased portal pressure by reducing IHVR (RIO: -41%, p = 0.005; TADA: -21%, p = 0.199) while not impacting heart rate, mean arterial pressure and portosystemic shunting. Hepatic cGMP levels increased upon RIO (+239%, p = 0.006) and TADA (+32%, p = 0.073) therapy. In contrast, CINA dosed at 1 mg/kg caused weight loss, arterial hypotension and hyperlactataemia in bile duct-ligated rats. Liver fibrosis area was significantly decreased by RIO (CAB: -48%, p = 0.011; PSR: -27%, p = 0.121) and TADA (CAB: -21%, p = 0.342; PSR: -52%, p = 0.013) compared to VEH-treated bile duct-ligated rats. Hepatic hydroxyproline content was reduced by RIO (from 503 ± 20 to 350 ± 30 µg/g, p = 0.003) and TADA (282 ± 50 µg/g, p = 0.003), in line with a reduction of the hepatic stellate cell activation markers smooth-muscle actin and phosphorylated moesin. Liver transaminases decreased under RIO (AST: -36%; ALT: -32%) and TADA (AST: -24%; ALT: -27%) treatment. Hepatic interleukin 6 gene expression was reduced in the RIO group (-56%, p = 0.053). CONCLUSION: In a rodent model of biliary cirrhosis, the sGC stimulator RIO and the PDE-5 inhibitor TADA improved PHT. The decrease of sinusoidal vascular resistance was paralleled by a reduction in liver fibrosis and hepatic inflammation, while systemic haemodynamics were not affected.

RESUMO

The increased incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has become a global phenomenon that could be related to adoption of a Western life-style. Westernization of dietary habits is partly characterized by enrichment with the ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) arachidonic acid (AA), which entails risk for developing IBD. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) protects against lipid peroxidation (LPO) and cell death termed ferroptosis. We report that small intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) in Crohn's disease (CD) exhibit impaired GPX4 activity and signs of LPO. PUFAs and specifically AA trigger a cytokine response of IECs which is restricted by GPX4. While GPX4 does not control AA metabolism, cytokine production is governed by similar mechanisms as ferroptosis. A PUFA-enriched Western diet triggers focal granuloma-like neutrophilic enteritis in mice that lack one allele of Gpx4 in IECs. Our study identifies dietary PUFAs as a trigger of GPX4-restricted mucosal inflammation phenocopying aspects of human CD.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) are at increased risk for the development of colorectal cancer. Surgery and chemoprevention are the most effective means to prevent cancer development. Thymoquinone (TQ) is considered the main compound of the volatile Nigella sativa seed oil and has been reported to possess anticarcinogenic properties. In this study we evaluated the chemopreventive properties of TQ in a mouse model of FAP. METHODS: APCMin mice were fed with chow containing 37.5 mg/kg or 375 mg/kg TQ for 12 weeks. H&E stained intestine tissue sections were assessed for tumor number, localization, size, and grade. Immunohistochemistry for ß-catenin, c-myc, Ki-67 and TUNEL-staining was performed to investigate TQ's effect on major colorectal cancer pathways. TQ's impact on GSK-3ß and ß-catenin were studied in RKO cells. RESULTS: 375 mg/kg but not 37.5 mg/kg TQ decreased the number of large polyps in the small intestine of APCMin mice. TQ induced apoptosis in the neoplastic tissue but not in the normal mucosa. Furthermore, upon TQ treatment, ß-catenin was retained at the membrane and c-myc decreased in the nucleus, which was associated with a reduced cell proliferation in the villi. In vitro, TQ activated GSK-3ß, which induced membranous localization of ß-catenin and reduced nuclear c-myc expression. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, TQ interferes with polyp progression in ApcMin mice through induction of tumor-cell specific apoptosis and by modulating Wnt signaling through activation of GSK-3ß. Nigella sativa oil (or TQ) might be useful as nutritional supplement to complement surgery and chemoprevention in FAP.
