Phospholipid metabolites of the gut microbiota promote hypoxia-induced intestinal injury via CD1d-dependent γδ T cells

Gastrointestinal dysfunction is a common symptom of acute mountain sickness (AMS). The gut microbiota and γδ T cells play critical roles in intestinal disease. However, the mechanistic link between the microbiota and γδ T cells in hypoxia-induced intestinal injury remains unclear. Here, we show that...

description Gastrointestinal dysfunction is a common symptom of acute mountain sickness (AMS). The gut microbiota and γδ T cells play critical roles in intestinal disease. However, the mechanistic link between the microbiota and γδ T cells in hypoxia-induced intestinal injury remains unclear. Here, we show that hypoxia-induced intestinal damage was significantly alleviated after microbiota depletion with antibiotics. Hypoxia modulated gut microbiota composition by promoting antimicrobial peptides angiogenin-4 secretions. The abundance of Clostridium in the gut of mice after hypoxia significantly decreased, while the abundance of Desulfovibrio significantly increased. Furthermore, Desulfovibrio-derived phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine promoted γδ T cell activation. In CD1d-deficient mice, the levels of intraepithelial IL-17A and γδ T cells and intestinal damage were significantly decreased compared with those in wild-type mice under hypoxia. Mechanistically, phospholipid metabolites from Desulfovibrio are presented by intestinal epithelial CD1d to induce the proliferation of IL-17A-producing γδ T cells, which aggravates intestinal injury. Gut microbiota-derived metabolites promote hypoxia-induced intestinal injury via CD1d-dependent γδ T cells, suggesting that phospholipid metabolites and γδ T cells can be targets for AMS therapy.
