The intestinal epithelium is equipped with sensing receptor mechanisms that interact with luminal microorganisms and nutrients to regulate barrier function and gut immune responses, thereby maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Herein, we clarify the role of the extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) using intestinal epithelium-specific Casr(-/-) mice. Epithelial CaSR deficiency diminished intestinal barrier function, altered microbiota composition, and skewed immune responses towards proinflammatory. Consequently, Casr(-/-) mice were significantly more prone to chemically induced intestinal inflammation resulting in colitis. Accordingly, CaSR represents a potential therapeutic target for autoinflammatory disorders, including inflammatory bowel diseases.
肠道上皮配备有传感受体机制,可与管腔微生物和营养物质相互作用,以调节屏障功能和肠道免疫反应,从而维持肠道内环境稳定。在此,我们利用肠道上皮特异性Casr(-/-)小鼠阐明细胞外钙敏感受体(CaSR)的作用。上皮CaSR缺乏会削弱肠道屏障功能,改变微生物群组成,并使免疫反应向促炎方向倾斜。因此,Casr(-/-)小鼠明显更容易受到化学诱导的肠道炎症影响,从而导致结肠炎。相应地,CaSR代表了包括炎症性肠病在内的自身炎症性疾病的潜在治疗靶点。
