Pathological Role of Pin1 in the Development of DSS-Induced Colitis

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are serious disorders of which the etiologies are not, as yet, fully understood. In this study, Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (Pin1) protein was shown to be dramatically upregulated in the colons of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced ulce...

description Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are serious disorders of which the etiologies are not, as yet, fully understood. In this study, Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (Pin1) protein was shown to be dramatically upregulated in the colons of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis model mice. Interestingly, <i>Pin1</i> knockout (KO) mice exhibited significant attenuation of DSS-induced colitis compared to wild-type (WT) mice, based on various parameters, including body weight, colon length, microscopic observation of the intestinal mucosa, inflammatory cytokine expression, and cleaved caspase-3. In addition, a role of Pin1 in inflammation was suggested because the percentage of M1-type macrophages in the colon was decreased in the <i>Pin1</i> KO mice while that of M2-type macrophages was increased. Moreover, <i>Pin1</i> KO mice showed downregulation of both <i>Il17</i> and <i>Il23a</i> expression in the colon, both of which have been implicated in the development of colitis. Finally, oral administration of Pin1 inhibitor partially but significantly prevented DSS-induced colitis in mice, raising the possibility of Pin1 inhibitors serving as therapeutic agents for IBD.
