The goals of this study were to develop a model to study host pathogen interactions in primary human colon organoids and to test the hypothesis that Bacteroides fragilis toxin (BFT-2) secreted in outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) modulates mucosal immunity and CFTR Cl- secretion. Since Bacteroides species reside in mucus, OMVs are likely to represent a mechanism of communication between Bacteroides and the host. Two strains of Bacteroides were studied, Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF), which produces BFT-2, and the non-toxigenic Bacteroides fragilis strain NCTC 9343 (NTBF) that does not produce BFT-2. We also utilized two additional strains of Bacteroides fragilis: one in which bft-2 was knocked out (ETBF {Delta}bft), and one that was engineered to contain bft-2 (NTBF+bft). We report that Bacteroides fragilis OMVs reduced CFTR Cl- secretion but had no effect on tight junction or cell adhesion proteins, transepithelial resistance (TER) or cytokine secretion by primary human colon organoids. NTBF OMVs containing BFT-2 were more effective in reducing CFTR Cl- secretion than NTBF lacking BFT-2. We conclude that OMVs secreted by Bacteroides can be an important mechanism of host pathogen interactions in the colon by reducing CFTR Cl- secretion.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
