Abstract

Intestinal homeostasis is maintained by specialized host cells and the gut microbiota. Wnt/β-catenin signaling is essential for gastrointestinal development and homeostasis, and its dysregulation has been implicated in inflammation and colorectal cancer. Axin1 negatively regulates activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling, but little is known regarding its role in regulating host-microbial interactions in health and disease. Here, we aim to demonstrate that intestinal Axin1 determines gut homeostasis and host response to inflammation. Axin1 expression was analyzed in human inflammatory bowel disease datasets. To explore the effects and mechanism of intestinal Axin1 in regulating intestinal homeostasis and colitis, we generated new mouse models with Axin1 conditional knockout in intestinal epithelial cell (IEC; Axin1^ΔIEC) and Paneth cell (PC; Axin1^ΔPC) to compare with control (Axin1LoxP; LoxP: locus of X-over, P1) mice. We found increased Axin1 expression in the colonic epithelium of human inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Axin1^ΔIEC mice exhibited altered goblet cell spatial distribution, PC morphology, reduced lysozyme expression, and enriched Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila). The absence of intestinal epithelial and PC Axin1 decreased susceptibility to dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in vivo. Axin1^ΔIEC and Axin1^ΔPC mice became more susceptible to DSS-colitis after cohousing with control mice. Treatment with A. muciniphila reduced DSS-colitis severity. Antibiotic treatment did not change the IEC proliferation in the Axin1^Loxp mice. However, the intestinal proliferative cells in Axin1^ΔIEC mice with antibiotic treatment were reduced compared with those in Axin1^ΔIEC mice without treatment. These data suggest non-colitogenic effects driven by the gut microbiome. In conclusion, we found that the loss of intestinal Axin1 protects against colitis, likely driven by epithelial Axin1 and Axin1-associated A. muciniphila. Our study demonstrates a novel role of Axin1 in mediating intestinal homeostasis and the microbiota. Further mechanistic studies using specific Axin1 mutations elucidating how Axin1 modulates the microbiome and host inflammatory response will provide new therapeutic strategies for human IBD.
