Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to examine the impact of fecal water (FW) of active and remissive Crohn's disease (CD) patients on mucin degradation and epithelial barrier function. Methods: FW and bacterial membrane vesicles (MVs) were isolated from fresh fecal samples of six healthy controls (HCs) and 12 CD patients. Bacterial composition was determined by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Results:In vitro FW-induced mucin degradation was higher in CD samples versus HC (p < 0.01), but not associated with specific bacterial genera. FW of three remissive samples decreased transepithelial electrical resistance in Caco-2 cells by 78-87% (p < 0.001). MVs did not induce barrier alterations. Conclusion: The higher mucin-degradation capacity of CD-derived FW might suggest contributions of microbial products to CD pathophysiology.
