ABSTRACT

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) impacts patient quality of life significantly. The dysfunction of intestinal immune barrier is closely associated with IBD. The guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) signaling pathway activated by the guanylin (Gn) ligand is involved in the occurrence and development of IBD. However, how it regulates the intestinal immune barrier is still unclea r. To investigate the effect of the GC-C pathway on intestinal mucosal immunity and provide experimental basis for seeking new therapeutic strategies for IBD, we focused on Caco-2 cells and intestinal intra-epithelial lymphocytes (IELs), which displayed inflammatory responses induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). GC-C activity was modulated by transfection with Gn overexpression or GC-C shRNA plasmid. Levels of Gn, GC-C, and CFTR; transepithelial electrical resistance (TER); paracellula r permeability; and levels of IL-2, IFN-γ, and secretory IgA (sIgA) were examined. The study found that after stimulation with LPS, Gn, GC-C, CFTR, TER, and sIgA levels were all significantly reduced, IL-2 and IFN-γ levels as well as paracellular permeability were significantly increased. These indicators changed inversely and significantly after transfection with the Gn overexpression vector. Compared to the vector controls, GC-C-silenced cells displayed significantly decreased levels of GC-C, CFTR , and TER and increased levels of IL-2, IFN-γ, and paracellular permeability stimulated by LPS. The results show that Gn ligand can protect the intestinal immune barrier by activating the GC-C signaling pathway, which may be helpful for the development of new treatments for IBD.
