Abstract
Psychosocial stress is prevalent during pregnancy, and is associated with immune dysfunction, both for the mother and the child. The gut microbiome has been implicated as a potential mechanism by which stress during pregnancy can impact both maternal and offspring immune function; however, the complex interplay between the gut microbiome and the immune system is not well-understood. Here, we leverage a model of antimicrobial-mediated gut microbiome reduction, in combination with a well-established model of maternal restraint stress, to investigate the independent effects of and interaction between maternal stress and the gut microbiome in shaping maternal and offspring immunity. First, we confirmed that the antimicrobial treatment reduced maternal gut bacterial load and altered fecal alpha and beta diversity, with a reduction in commensal microbes and an increase in the relative abundance of rare taxa. Prenatal stress also disrupted the gut microbiome, according to measures of both alpha and beta diversity. Furthermore, prenatal stress and antimicrobials independently induced systemic and gastrointestinal immune suppression in the dam with a concomitant increase in circulating corticosterone. While stress increased neutrophils in the maternal circulation, lymphoid cells and monocytes were not impacted by either stress or antimicrobial treatment. Although the fetal immune compartment was largely spared, stress increased circulating neutrophils and CD8 T cells, and antibiotics increased neutrophils and reduced T cells in the adult offspring. Altogether, these data indicate similar, but discrete, roles for maternal stress and gut microbes in influencing maternal and offspring immune function.

Macrolides increase the expression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 in human sinonasal epithelium, contributing to glucocorticoid activation in sinonasal mucosa. Br J Pharmacol 2015; 172:5083-95. [PMID: 26228509 DOI: 10.1111/bph.13273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [What about the content of this article?

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of macrolides include the ability to decrease mucus secretion and inhibit inflammatory mediators in chronic rhinosinusitis. Nevertheless, their mechanisms of action remain to be determined. Here we have investigated the effects of macrolide antibiotics (clarithromycin, azithromycin and josamycin; representating the 14-, 15- and 16-membered macrolides) on endogenous steroids in human sinonasal epithelial cells and mouse nasal mucosa. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH The effects of macrolides on the expression of steroid-converting enzymes [11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD1 and 11β-HSD2)], steroid-synthesizing enzymes (3β-HSD, CYP21, CYP11B1 and CYP11A1) and cortisol levels were assessed in cultured human epithelial cells. In control and adrenalectomized mice , these enzymes and corticosterone levels were evaluated in nasal mucosa and serum after administration of macrolides. KEY RESULTS The expression levels of 3β-HSD, CYP21, 11β-HSD1 and CYP11B1 increased in human epithelial cells treated with clarithromycin and azithromycin, whereas the expression levels of 11β-HSD2 and CYP11A1 were not affected. Josamycin had no effects on the expression of these enzymes. Cortisol levels increased in epithelial cells treated with clarithromycin or azithromycin. The expression of 3β-HSD, CYP11A1, CYP21, CYP11B1 and 11β-HSD1 was upregulated in nasal mucosa of mice treated with clarithromycin or azithromycin, but not in adrenalectomized mice. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS This study provides evidence that 14- and 15-membered macrolide antibiotics may affect the expression of steroid-synthesizing and steroid-converting enzymes in human sinonasal epithelial cells and mouse nasal mucosa, increasing the endogenous cortisol levels in sinonasal mucosa.
