چکیده

Environmental factors are playing a central role in triggering inflammatory responses in the intestine. There is increasing evidence that the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is deriving from an aberrant immune response to the commensal gut microbiota triggered by various environmental factors in a susceptible host. A vitamin A derivate used in acne therapy (isotretinoin) has been inconsistently associated with the onset of IBD. However, what needs to be considered is the previous treatment of acne patients with antibiotics that are also associated with the development of IBD, thus representing a crucial confounding factor. Here, we studied whether doxycycline (acne therapy), metronidazole (IBD therapy) or isotretinoin are able to induce alterations in DNA methylation and microRNA expression patterns in murine colonic intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). Additionally, we analyzed time-dependent changes in the aforementioned epigenetic mechanisms to study how epigenetic signatures evolve over time. As for changes in DNA methylation, we found isotretinoin to have strong demethylating effects, while antibiotic treatment had only a moderate impact. Isotretinoin-mediated demethylation resolved after a washout phase, not supporting an association between isotretinoin treatment and IBD. Regarding microRNA and mRNA expression, isotretinoin and doxycycline, but not metronidazole, potentially induce long-term changes in microRNA/mRNA expression profiles towards the down-regulation of immune responses. Analysis of time-dependent DNA methylation showed stable marks over a time frame of 4 weeks. Furthermore, novel microRNAs were identified (e.g., microRNA-877-3p), which might be of relevance in IEC development.

Doxycycline, metronidazole and isotretinoin: Do they modify microRNA/mRNA expression profiles and function in murine T-cells?

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may develop due to an inflammatory response to commensal gut microbiota triggered by environmental factors in a genetically susceptible host. Isotretinoin (acne therapy) has been inconsistently associated with IBD onset and flares but prior treatment with antibiotics, also associated with IBD development, complicates the confirmation of this association. Here we...

Effects of Yacon on Colonic IFN-γ and Goblet Cells of 2,4,6-Trinitrobenzene Sulfonic Acid-Induced Colitis Mouse Model

Background: IBD is a chronic inflammatory condition associated with damage to the intestinal mucosal barrier. Supplementation of yacon tubers has been known to give positive effect in intestinal health. Therefore, we conducted the study to investigate the effect of yacon tuber powder on Th1 activation pathway by evaluating IFN-γ levels and the number of goblet cells in the colon of colitis mous...

Epigenetic Modifications of Host Genes Induced by Bacterial Infection

Introduction: Epigenetic mechanisms regulate expression of the genome to generate various cell types during development or coordinate cellular responses to external stimulus. While epigenetics is of fundamental importance in eukaryotes, it plays a different role in bacteria. This article uncovers the most important recent data on how bacteria can alter epigenetic marks and can also contribute t...
