Resveratrol Alleviates Acute <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> Induced Enterocolitis in a Preclinical Murine Intervention Study

The polyphenolic compound resveratrol has been shown to exert health-beneficial properties. Given globally emerging <i>Campylobacter</i> infections in humans, we addressed potential anti-pathogenic, immuno-modulatory and intestinal epithelial barrier preserving properties of synthetic re...

description The polyphenolic compound resveratrol has been shown to exert health-beneficial properties. Given globally emerging <i>Campylobacter</i> infections in humans, we addressed potential anti-pathogenic, immuno-modulatory and intestinal epithelial barrier preserving properties of synthetic resveratrol in the present preclinical intervention study applying a murine acute campylobacteriosis model. Two days following peroral <i>C. jejuni</i> infection, secondary abiotic IL-10<sup>−/−</sup> mice were either subjected to resveratrol or placebo via the drinking water. Whereas placebo mice suffered from acute enterocolitis at day 6 post-infection, resveratrol treatment did not only lead to improved clinical conditions, but also to less pronounced colonic epithelial apoptosis as compared to placebo application. Furthermore, <i>C. jejuni</i> induced innate and adaptive immune cell responses were dampened in the large intestines upon resveratrol challenge and accompanied by less colonic nitric oxide secretion in the resveratrol versus the placebo cohort. Functional analyses revealed that resveratrol treatment could effectively rescue colonic epithelial barrier function in <i>C. jejuni</i> infected mice. Strikingly, the disease-alleviating effects of resveratrol could additionally be found in extra-intestinal and also systemic compartments at day 6 post-infection. For the first time, our current preclinical intervention study provides evidence that peroral resveratrol treatment exerts potent disease-alleviating effects during acute experimental campylobacteriosis.
