EphB2 promotes enteric nitrergic hyperinnervation and neurogenic inflammation in DSS-induced chronic colitis in mice

BACKGROUND: Enteric nervous system (ENS) has been closely associated with the neuro-immune response and is currently considered a reliable target for intestinal inflammation. Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) nerves are involved in inflammatory diseases by releasing nitric oxide (NO). EphB2 expression and density of innervation of the mucosal layer are positively correlated with the severity of intestinal inflammatory responses. In this study, we hypothesized that a EphB2-mediated mechanism may regulate enteric immunity through modulation of nNOS nerves.
METHODS: Firstly, the Western blot (WB) method was employed to quantify EphB2 expression in the intestinal mucosal layer of DSS mice and assess alterations in nerve fiber activation and density. Immunofluorescence (IF) double staining with nNOS and neuronal marker PGP9.5 was conducted to measure nNOS nerve fiber density within the intestinal mucosal layer of mice. Subsequently, in vivo experiments were performed to investigate the inhibitory or activatory effect of EphB2Fc or EphrinB2Fc on EphB2 expression and activation. Immunoprecipitation experiments confirmed the interaction between EphB2 and nNOS nerves. WB and IF experiments were carried out to evaluate both inflammatory conditions of mouse colonic mucosa following intervention with EphB2Fc/EphrinB2Fc as well as changes in nNOS nerve fibers expression. Finally, in vitro experiments, neurally-mediated inflammation was assessed in the organ bath system by activating intestinal mucosal innervation through Veratridine (VER) and electrical field stimulation (EFS) techniques for 3 h. The activation of nNOS nerves was inhibited by nitroindazole (7NI). WB was employed to detect changes in the expression of inflammatory factors in the intestinal mucosal layer in EphB2Fc/EphrinB2Fc treated mice and control group.
KEY RESULTS: We found that the expression of EphB2 and density nNOS nerve fibers in the intestinal mucosa were positively correlated with the colitis response. Blocking (EphB2Fc)/activating (EphrinB2Fc) EphB2 in vivo significantly reduced/increased the density of nNOS nerve fibers and expression of inflammatory factors in colonic mucosa of DSS treated mice. In vitro, blocking nNOS nerves activation attenuated the inflammatory reaction induced by either EFS or EphB2.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings provided evidence that EphB2 mediated regulation of innate immunity-ENS crosstalk might represent an attractive target for novel therapeutic strategies in ulcerative colitis.
