| Abstract: | AIMS: The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is composed of distinct sub-regions, which exhibit segment-specific differences in microbial colonization and (patho)physiological characteristics. Gut microbes can be collectively considered as an active endocrine organ. Microbes produce metabolites, which can be taken up by the host and can actively communicate with the immune cells in the gut lamina propria with consequences for cardiovascular health. Variation in bacterial load and composition along the GI tract may influence the mucosal microenvironment and thus be reflected its interstitial fluid (IF). Characterization of the segment-specific microenvironment is challenging and largely unexplored because of lack of available tools. METHODS AND RESULTS: Here, we developed methods, namely tissue centrifugation and elution, to collect IF from the mucosa of different intestinal segments. These methods were first validated in rats and mice, and the tissue elution method was subsequently translated for use in humans. These new methods allowed us to quantify microbiota-derived metabolites, mucosa-derived cytokines, and proteins at their site-of-action. Quantification of short-chain fatty acids showed enrichment in the colonic IF. Metabolite and cytokine analyses revealed differential abundances within segments, often significantly increased compared to plasma, and proteomics revealed that proteins annotated to the extracellular phase were site-specifically identifiable in IF. Lipopolysaccharide injections in rats showed significantly higher ileal IL-1β levels in IF compared to the systemic circulation, suggesting the potential of local as well as systemic effect. CONCLUSION: Collection of IF from defined segments and the direct measurement of mediators at the site-of-action in rodents and humans bypasses the limitations of indirect analysis of faecal samples or serum, providing direct insight into this understudied compartment. |
