Cold-inducible RNA-binding protein promotes gut barrier dysfunction and visceral hypersensitivity via activating mast cells in IBS-D
Background
Cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) is implicated in gut barrier function and various immune responses. Mast cells (MCs) have been found to play a key role in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, the regulation of CIRP on MCs and its role in diarrhea predominant-irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) remains unclear.
Methods
CIRP expression was evaluated in IBS-D mice, which were induced via acetic acid enema in combination with restraint stress (AA/RS). To explore the direct effect of CIRP on gut barrier function, visceral sensitivity and the activity of MCs, recombinant murine CIRP protein (rmCIRP) was administered via enema for 14 consecutive days. Subsequently, a systematic CIRP knockout (CIRP−/−) mouse was constructed successfully to further verify the role of CIRP in IBS-D.
Results
In present study, we found the expression of CIRP was significantly increased in IBS-D mice and corresponding cell models. Exogenous CIRP administration significantly exacerbated gut barrier dysfunction and visceral hypersensitivity, which were accompanied by the activation of MCs. Conversely, CIRP deficiency restored gut barrier function and reduced visceral sensitivity, which was associated with the inhibition of MCs activation. Further experiments revealed that C48/80, a MCs activator, eliminated the protective effect of CIRP deficiency in IBS-D mice. In addition, inhibition of TLR4 and TRPV1, respectively, eliminated the activation of CIRP on MCs.
Conclusions
CIRP plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of IBS-D. Targeting CIRP may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for IBS-D.
期刊介绍:
International Immunopharmacology is the primary vehicle for the publication of original research papers pertinent to the overlapping areas of immunology, pharmacology, cytokine biology, immunotherapy, immunopathology and immunotoxicology. Review articles that encompass these subjects are also welcome.
The subject material appropriate for submission includes:
• Clinical studies employing immunotherapy of any type including the use of: bacterial and chemical agents; thymic hormones, interferon, lymphokines, etc., in transplantation and diseases such as cancer, immunodeficiency, chronic infection and allergic, inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.
• Studies on the mechanisms of action of these agents for specific parameters of immune competence as well as the overall clinical state.
• Pre-clinical animal studies and in vitro studies on mechanisms of action with immunopotentiators, immunomodulators, immunoadjuvants and other pharmacological agents active on cells participating in immune or allergic responses.
• Pharmacological compounds, microbial products and toxicological agents that affect the lymphoid system, and their mechanisms of action.
• Agents that activate genes or modify transcription and translation within the immune response.
• Substances activated, generated, or released through immunologic or related pathways that are pharmacologically active.
• Production, function and regulation of cytokines and their receptors.
• Classical pharmacological studies on the effects of chemokines and bioactive factors released during immunological reactions.
