Unique to spirochete pathogenesis is the immense production of mucus, resulting in a niche mucin environment likely favoring spirochete colonization. Mucin rheological properties are heavily influenced by anionic secretion, and loss of secretory function has been implicated in diseases such as cystic fibrosis. Here, the effects on the agonist-induced electrogenic anionic secretory response by infectious colonic spirochete bacteria Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Brachyspira hampsonii were assessed in the proximal, apex, and distal sections of colon in Ussing chambers. Activation of secretion via isoproterenol, carbachol, and forskolin\/3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine demonstrated a significantly decreased change in short-circuit current ( I<jats:sub>sc<\/jats:sub>) in Brachyspira-infected pigs in all sections. Tissue resistances did not account for this difference, rather, it was attributed to a decrease in anionic secretion as indicated by a decrease in bumetanide inhibitable I<jats:sub>sc<\/jats:sub>. Quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot analyses determined that the major anionic channels of the epithelium were downregulated in diarrheic pigs paired with altered mucin gene expression. The investigated cytokines were not responsible for the downregulation of anion channel gene transcripts. Although IL-1\u03b1 was upregulated in all segments, it did not alter cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mRNA expression in Caco-2 monolayers. However, a whole cell Brachyspira hampsonii lysate significantly reduced CFTR mRNA expression in Caco-2 monolayers. Together, these findings indicate that these two Brachyspira spp. may directly cause a decreased anionic secretory response in the porcine colon, supporting an altered mucin environment likely favoring spirochete colonization.<\/jats:p><jats:p>NEW &amp; NOTEWORTHY This research demonstrates for the first time that the niche mucin environment produced by two infectious spirochete spp. is supported by a decrease in the electrogenic anionic secretory response throughout the porcine colon. Our findings suggest that the host\u2019s cytokine response is not likely responsible for the decrease in anionic secretory function. Rather, it appears that Brachyspira spp. directly impede ion channel transcription and translation, potentially altering colonic mucin rheological properties, which may favor spirochete colonization.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/ajpgi.00348.2018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,10]],"date-time":"2019-01-10T19:00:16Z","timestamp":1547146816000},"page":"G495-G508","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Decreased electrogenic anionic secretory response in the porcine colon following in vivo challenge with<i>Brachyspira<\/i>spp. supports an altered mucin environment"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"316","author":[{"given":"Cole B.","family":"Enns","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Biomedical Sciences, Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John C.
