ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Mucosal healing is one of the principal therapeutic targets for ulcerative colitis (UC). Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that undergo constant fusion and fission; however, the process that is most conducive to mucosal healing remains unclear. This study investigated the role of mitochondrial fission in mucosal healing in UC patients.METHODS:
Quantitative polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, and immunostaining were used to detect mitochondrial fission in UC patients and a dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis model. Colonic organoids were used to investigate the role of mitochondrial fission in butyrate metabolism. Enzyme activity assays were performed to identify the key proteins involved in this mechanism.RESULTS:
It was found that inhibition of mitochondrial fission promoted mucosal healing in mice and that there was an increase in mitochondrial fission in colonic epithelial cells of UC patients. Excessive fission inhibits stem cell proliferation by impairing butyrate metabolism in colonic organoids. The mitochondrial fission antagonist P110 failed to promote mucosal healing in antibiotic-treated mice, and the addition of exogenous butyrate reversed this effect. Increased butyrate exposure in the colonic stem cell niche has also been observed in UC patients. Mechanistically, enzyme activity assays on colonic organoids revealed that excessive fission inhibits mitochondrial acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase activity via reactive oxygen species.CONCLUSIONS:
Collectively, these data indicate that excessive mitochondrial fission suppresses mucosal repair by inhibiting butyrate metabolism and provides a potential target for mucosal healing in patients with ulcerative colitis.Palabras clave
