Abstrakt: Objective: In acute pancreatitis (AP), bacterial translocation and subsequent infection of pancreatic necrosis are the main risk factors for severe disease and late death. Understanding how immunological host defence mechanisms fail to protect the intestinal barrier is of great importance in reducing the mortality risk of the disease. Here, we studied the role of the T reg /Th17 balance for maintaining the intestinal barrier function in a mouse model of severe AP.
Design: AP was induced by partial duct ligation in C57Bl/6 or DEREG mice, in which regulatory T-cells (T reg ) were depleted by intraperitoneal injection of diphtheria toxin. By flow cytometry, functional suppression assays and transcriptional profiling we analysed T reg activation and characterised T-cells of the lamina propria as well as intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) regarding their activation and differentiation. Microbiota composition was examined in intestinal samples as well as in murine and human pancreatic necrosis by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
Results: The prophylactic T reg- depletion enhanced the proinflammatory response in an experimental mouse model of AP but stabilised the intestinal immunological barrier function of Th17 cells and CD8 + /γδTCR + IELs. T reg depleted animals developed less bacterial translocation to the pancreas. Duodenal overgrowth of the facultative pathogenic taxa Escherichia/Shigella which associates with severe disease and infected necrosis was diminished in T reg depleted animals.
Conclusion: T regs play a crucial role in the counterbalance against systemic inflammatory response syndrome. In AP, T reg -activation disturbs the duodenal barrier function and permits translocation of commensal bacteria into pancreatic necrosis. Targeting T regs in AP may help to ameliorate the disease course.
