PG - G26-G38 LID - 10.1152/ajpgi.00070.2017 [doi] AB - Irregular mitochondria structure and reduced ATP in some patients with IBD suggest that metabolic stress contributes to disease. Loss-of-function mutation in the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-2 gene is a major susceptibility trait for IBD. Hence, we assessed if loss of NOD2 further impairs the epithelial barrier function instigated by disruption of mitochondrial ATP synthesis via the hydrogen ionophore dinitrophenol (DNP). NOD2 protein (virtually undetectable in epithelia under basal conditions) was increased in T84 (human colon cell line) cells treated with noninvasive Escherichia coli + DNP (16 h). Increased intracellular bacteria in wild-type (WT) and NOD2 knockdown (KD) cells and colonoids from NOD2(-/-) mice were mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the MAPK ERK1/2 pathways as determined by cotreatment with the antioxidant mitoTEMPO and the ERK inhibitor U0126: ROS was upstream of ERK1/2 activation. Despite increased E. coli in DNP-treated NOD2 KD compared with WT cells, there were no differences in the internalization of fluorescent inert beads or dead E. coli particles. This suggests that lack of killing in the NOD2 KD cells was responsible for the increased numbers of viable intracellular bacteria; a conclusion supported by evidence of reduced autophagy in NOD2 KD T84 epithelia. Thus, in a two-hit hypothesis, decreased barrier function due to dysfunctional mitochondrial is amplified by lack of NOD2 in transporting enterocytes: subsequently, greater numbers of bacteria entering the mucosa would be a significant inflammatory threat especially since individuals with NOD2 mutations have compromised macrophage and Paneth cell responses to bacteria.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Increased internalization of bacteria by epithelia with dysfunctional mitochondria (reduced ATP) is potentiated if the cells lack nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2), mutations in which are inflammatory bowel disease-susceptibility traits. Uptake of bacteria was dependent on reactive oxygen species and MAP-kinase activity, and the increased viable intracellular bacteria in NOD2(-/-) cells likely reflect a reduced ability to recognize and kill bacteria. Thus a significant barrier defect occurs with NOD2 deficiency in conjunction with metabolic stress that could contribute to inflammation. CI - Copyright (c) 2017 the American Physiological Society.
