Human ALPI deficiency causes inflammatory bowel disease and highlights a key mechanism of gut homeostasis

Abstract: Herein, we report the first identification of biallelic‐inherited mutations in ALPI as a Mendelian cause of inflammatory bowel disease in two unrelated patients. ALPI encodes for intestinal phosphatase alkaline, a brush border metalloenzyme that hydrolyses phosphate from the lipid A moiety of lipopolysaccharides and thereby drastically reduces Toll‐like receptor 4 agonist activity. Prediction tools and structural modelling indicate that all mutations affect critical residues or inter‐subunit interactions, and … Show more

“…In our cohort, WES allowed us to ascribe VEO-IBD to biallelic mutations in DUOX2 , 41 and more recently to biallelic mutations in intestinal alkaline phosphatase. 42 Furthermore, novel candidate genes are currently under validation in three distinct families.…”

“…Gata 4 is a marker of intestinal epithelial differentiation that is essential to preserve gut barrier function and mucosal integrity ( Lepage et al, 2016 ). Intestinal alkaline phosphatase (Alpi) is a brush border enzyme that considerably diminishes the pro−inflammatory action of LPS ( Parlato et al, 2018 ). Dipeptidyl peptidase ( Dpp4) expression is increased in inflammatory bowel disease, atherosclerosis, obesity, and multiple sclerosis, implying its participation in the pathogenesis of inflammation ( Zhou et al, 2019 ).…”

“…ALPI is an intestinal alkaline phosphatase that is thought to function in the detoxification of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and prevention of bacterial translocation in the gut. Mutations in ALPI abrogate the regulation of host‐microbiota interactions and restrain host inflammatory responses causing early‐onset severe diarrhea, weight loss, and severe ulcerations from transverse colon to the rectum …”
