    Consumption of yeast-fermented wheat and rye breads increases colitis and mortality in a mouse model of colitis
    (2022) Zimmermann, Julia; De Fazio, Luigia; Kaden-Volynets, Valentina; Hitzmann, Bernd; Bischoff, Stephan C.; Zimmermann, Julia; Department of Nutritional Medicine/Prevention, University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany; De Fazio, Luigia; Department of Medical and Surgical Science (DIMEC), University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy; Kaden-Volynets, Valentina; Department of Nutritional Medicine/Prevention, University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany; Hitzmann, Bernd; Department of Process Analytics and Cereal Science, University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany; Bischoff, Stephan C.; Department of Nutritional Medicine/Prevention, University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany
    Background: Cereals are known to trigger for wheat allergy, celiac disease and non-celiac wheat sensitivity (NCWS). Inflammatory processes and intestinal barrier impairment are suspected to be involved in NCWS, although the molecular triggers are unclear. Aims: We were interested if different bread types influence inflammatory processes and intestinal barrier function in a mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease. Methods: Epithelial caspase-8 gene knockout (Casp8 ΔIEC ) and control (Casp8 fl ) mice were randomized to eight groups, respectively. The groups received different diets for 28 days (gluten-free diet, gluten-rich diet 5 g%, or different types of bread at 50 g%). Breads varied regarding grain, milling and fermentation. All diets were isocaloric. Results: Regardless of the diet, Casp8 ΔIEC mice showed pronounced inflammation in colon compared to ileum, whereas Casp8 fl mice were hardly inflamed. Casp8 fl mice could tolerate all bread types. Especially yeast fermented rye and wheat bread from superfine flour but not pure gluten challenge increased colitis and mortality in Casp8 ΔIEC mice. Hepatic expression of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein and colonic expression of tumor necrosis factor-α genes were inversely related to survival. The bread diets, but not the gluten-rich diet, also decreased colonic tight junction expression to variable degrees, without clear association to survival and inflammation. Conclusions: Bread components, especially those from yeast-fermented breads from wheat and rye, increase colitis and mortality in Casp8 ΔIEC mice highly susceptible to intestinal inflammation, whereas control mice can tolerate all types of bread without inflammation. Yet unidentified bread components other than gluten seem to play the major role.

    Vitamin A- and D-deficient diets disrupt intestinal antimicrobial peptide defense involving Wnt and STAT5 signaling pathways in mice
    (2023) Filipe Rosa, Louisa; Petersen, Patricia P.; Görtz, Lisa F.; Stolzer, Iris; Kaden-Volynets, Valentina; Günther, Claudia; Bischoff, Stephan C.
    Vitamin A and D deficiencies are associated with immune modulatory effects and intestinal barrier impairment. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. C57BL/6J mice were fed either a diet lacking in vitamin A (VAd), vitamin D (VDd) or a control diet (CD) for 12 weeks. Gut barrier function, antimicrobial peptide (AMP) defense and regulatory pathways were assessed. VAd mice compared to CD mice showed a reduced villus length in the ileum (p < 0.01) and decreased crypt depth in the colon (p < 0.05). In both VAd- and VDd-fed mice, ileal α-defensin 5 (p < 0.05/p < 0.0001 for VAd/VDd) and lysozyme protein levels (p < 0.001/p < 0.0001) were decreased. Moreover, mRNA expression of lysozyme (p < 0.05/p < 0.05) and total cryptdins (p < 0.001/p < 0.01) were reduced compared to controls. Furthermore, matrix metalloproteinase-7 (Mmp7) mRNA (p < 0.0001/p < 0.001) as well as components of the Wnt signaling pathway were decreased. VAd- and VDd-fed mice, compared to control mice, exhibited increased expression of pro-inflammatory markers and β-defensins in the colon. Organoid cell culture confirmed that vitamins A and D regulate AMP expression, likely through the Jak/STAT5 signaling pathway. In conclusion, our data show that vitamin A and D regulate intestinal antimicrobial peptide defense through Wnt and STAT5 signaling pathways.
