BACKGROUND

The gut-liver-axis presents the pathophysiological hallmark for multiple liver diseases and has been proposed to be modulated during stress and shock. Access to the gut-liver-axis needs crossing of the mucus and gut-vascular barrier. The role of β-adrenoreceptor-activation for both barriers has not been defined and is characterized here.

METHODS

Splanchnic β-adrenergic stimulation was achieved by chronic intraperitoneal application of isoproterenol via alzet-pump in vivo. The intestinal permeability and gut-vascular barrier function was assessed in ileal loop experiments. The extravasation of predefined sizes of fluorescence isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran molecules in ileal microcirculation was evaluated by intravital confocal laser endomicroscopy in vivo. Mucus parameters thickness, goblet cell count and mucin-expression were assessed by stereomicroscopy, immunostaining and RNA-sequencing respectively. Ileal lamina propria (LP) as well as mesenteric lymph node mononuclear cells was assessed by FACS.

RESULTS

Healthy mice lack translocation of 4 kDa-FITC-dextran from the small intestine to the liver, whereas isoproterenol-treated mice demonstrate pathological translocation (PBT). Mucus layer is reduced in thickness with loss of goblet-cells and mucin-2-staining and -expression in isoproterenol-treated animals under standardized gnotobiotic conditions. Isoproterenol disrupts the gut vascular barrier displaying Ileal extravasation of large-sized 70- and 150 kDa-FITC-dextran. This pathological endothelial permeability and accessibility induced by isoproterenol associates with an augmented expression of plasmalemmal-vesicle-associated-protein-1 in intestinal vessel. Ileal LP after isoproterenol treatment contains more CD11c+-dendritic cells (DC) with increased appearance of CCR7+ DC in mesenteric lymph nodes.

CONCLUSIONS

Isoproterenol impairs the intestinal muco-epithelial and endothelial-vascular barrier promoting PBT to the liver. This barrier dysfunction on multiple levels potentially can contribute to liver injury induced by catecholamines during states of increased β-adrenergic drive.
