Popis: Microbiota interactions with host tissue support proper intestinal functions. In diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, microbial shift along with epithelial dysfunctions are found. Understanding how intestinal epithelial functions are regulated by distinct commensal bacteria is key to improving outcomes in such diseases. Here, we identified a mouse commensal E. coli isolate, GDAR2-2, that promotes intestinal barrier repair in mouse colitis models including Citrobacter rodentium infection and dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis. In mice, protection after GDAR2-2 colonization depends on CX3CR1+ mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs), which induce expansion of IL-22-secreting type 3 innate lymphoid cells. We detect upregulation of markers of transit amplifying cells, proliferation of which is downstream of IL-22 signaling. Protection is lost if IL-22 is blocked, indicating IL-22 driven epithelial regeneration is downstream of GDAR2-2 colonization. By co-culturing bone marrow derived macrophages with live GDAR2-2, we found GDAR2-2 promotes IL-1b production and the in vivo protection was lost after blockade of IL-1b. We further identified a subset of human commensal E. coli isolates that similarly induce CX3CR1+ MNP expansion and IL-1b mediated protection from C. rodentium infection in mice. This study reveals an unexpected role for IL-1b that promotes intestinal barrier repair and is induced by select commensal bacteria. Supported by NIH (AI125264, P30DK056338)
