General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | mice lacking intestinal core 1-derived O-glycans (IEC C1galt1-/-) develop spontaneous colitis primarily in the distal colon, whereas mice lacking both intestinal core 1- and core 3-derived O-glycans (DKO) develop spontaneous colitis in both distal and proximal colon. DKO mice show an early onset and more severe colitis than IEC C1galt1-/- mice. Antibiotic treatment restores the mucus layer and attenuates colitis in DKO mice. Mucins from DKO mice are more susceptible to proteolysis than wild-type mucins. C3GnT-/- mice exhibits no colitis phenotype without challenge. Analysis of colitis development in wild-type and mutant mice, overview. Loss of both core 1- and core 3-derived O-glycans affects mucus layer structure and colitis susceptibility throughout the colon. Antibiotic (NMVA) treatment improves mucus layer and reduces severity of colitis in DKO mice. Colitis is driven by bacterial-mucosal interactions following mucus barrier breach | Mus musculus |
metabolism | core 1- and 3-derived O-glycans collectively contribute to the mucus barrier by protecting it from bacterial protease degradation | Mus musculus |
physiological function | core 3 beta1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (C3GnT), which controls the biosynthesis of core 3 O-glycans, is expressed mainly in the intestine and salivary glands | Mus musculus |
