Neutrophil Elastase and Interleukin 17 Expressed in the Pig Colon during Brachyspira hyodysenteriae Infection Synergistically with the Pathogen Induce Increased Mucus Transport Speed and Production via Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase 3

Abstract: Brachyspira hyodysenteriae colonizes the pig colon, resulting in mucoid hemorrhagic diarrhea and mucus layer changes. These changes are characterized by a disorganized mucus structure and massive mucus induction with de novo expression of MUC5AC and increased production of MUC2. To investigate the mechanisms behind this altered mucin environment, we quantified the mRNA levels of mucin pathway genes and factors from the immune system in the colons of infected and control pigs and observed upregulation of neutro… Show more

“…The increased mucus thickness during C. rodentium clearance is accompanied by increased mucin production and speed of transport en route exocytosis in vivo During C. rodentium infection, the mucus layer initially becomes thin, as measured at 4 and 10 dpi, followed by an increase in thickness during clearance, as measured at 14 and 19 dpi [41]. The azide-modified galactosamine (GalNAz) incorporates into the core region of mucin O-glycans and can be used to analyze mucin production and transport [22,42,43]. Newly synthesized mucins can be visualized in the supranuclear compartment of the cell one hour after injection [22] and reach the colonic lumen in 6-8 h [44].…”

“…The importance of CD4+ cells in the immune response following B. hyodysenteriae infection has been described by several authors [ 15 , 35 ]. We have demonstrated a ninefold increase in mRNA levels of IL-17A in SD infected pigs before [ 36 ]. Taken together, it would be of most interest to determine if CD4+ cells and upregulation of IL-17A are present in the colonic mucosae of pigs immunised with our strain D28 and to explore ways to further optimise the intestinal IgA response.…”

“…The host's colonic mucosal immune response to B. hyodysenteriae infection is involved in the regulatory networks determining mucin expression. Neutrophil elastase and interleukin-17 , part of the colonic mucosal immune response to B. hyodysenteriae infection, induce mucin production synergistically with B. hyodysenteriae via mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 (34). B. hyodysenteriae infection regulates mucin glycosylation synthesis in the colon, resulting in the loss of interindividual variation, shorter glycan chains, and a higher abundance of neutral, core 2, and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc)-and sulfatecontaining structures compared to healthy pigs (8).…”
