Amelioration of Murine Colitis by Attenuated <i>Salmonella choleraesuis</i> Encoding Interleukin-19

The imbalance of mucosal immunity in the lower gastrointestinal tract can lead to chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. IBD is a chronic inflammatory disorder that causes small and/or large intestines ulceration. According to previous studies,...

description The imbalance of mucosal immunity in the lower gastrointestinal tract can lead to chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. IBD is a chronic inflammatory disorder that causes small and/or large intestines ulceration. According to previous studies, recombinant interleukin (IL)-10 protein and genetically modified bacteria secreting IL-10 ameliorate dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. IL-19 is a transcriptional activator of IL-10 and can alter the balance of T helper 1 (Th)1/Th2 cells in favor of Th2. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether the expression of the murine IL-19 gene carried by <i>Salmonella choleraesuis</i> (<i>S. choleraesuis</i>) could ameliorate murine IBD. Our results showed that the attenuated <i>S. choleraesuis</i> could carry and express the IL-19 gene-containing plasmid for IBD gene therapy by reducing the mortality and clinical signs in DSS-induced acute colitis mice as compared to the untreated ones. We also found that IL-10 expression was induced in IL-19-treated colitis mice and prevented inflammatory infiltrates and proinflammatory cytokine expression in these mice. We suggest that <i>S. choleraesuis</i> encoding IL-19 provides a new strategy for treating IBD in the future.
