摘要

Interkingdom (IK) signaling, in which pathogenic bacteria recognize human hormones in the gastrointestinaltract to initiate infection, has recently emerged as an important contributor to gastrointestinal tract infections. While amajority of studies have primarily focused on the effect of host molecules on pathogens, recent work from our labhas demonstrated that human intestinal epithelial cells can also recognize bacterial signaling molecules. We demonstratedthat indole, secreted to ~ 500 μM by commensal Escherichia coli, increased expression of tight junction proteins andgenes involved in mucin production in HCT-8 intestinal epithelial cells, thus enhancing their barrier properties. Theseresults were consistent with an observed increased in trans-epithelial resistance on exposure to indole over 24 h. Sinceindole is structurally similar to melatonin, and melatonin is a hormone that regulates the dark-cycle in the eye, wealso investigated role of indole on human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. Our data show that indole increasestrans-epithelial resistance of RPE cells, and attenuated their proliferation and migration. Our results suggest a beneficialrole for indole in the treatment of eye diseases, and are discussed in detail in this article.
