Abstract
Celiac disease is characterized by a chronic immune-mediated inflammation of the small intestine, triggered by gluten contained in wheat, barley, and rye. Rothia aeria, a gram-positive natural colonizer of the oral cavity and the upper digestive tract is able to degrade and detoxify gluten in vitro. The objective of this study was to assess gluten-degrading activity of live and dead R. aeria bacteria in vitro, and to isolate the R. aeria gluten-degrading enzyme.
METHODS: After an overnight fast, Balb/c mouse were fed a 1 g pellet of standard chow containing 50% wheat (and 4% gliadin) with or without 1.6 × 107 live R. aeria bacteria. After 2 h, in vivo gluten degradation was assessed in gastric contents by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting, and immunogenic epitope neutralization was assessed with the R5 gliadin ELISA assay. R. aeria enzyme isolation and identification was accomplished by separating proteins in the bacterial cell homogenate by C18 chromatography followed by gliadin zymography and mass spectrometric analysis of excised bands.
RESULTS: In mice fed with R. aeria, gliadins and immunogenic epitopes were reduced by 20% and 33%, respectively, as compared to gluten digested in control mice. Killing of R. aeria bacteria in ethanol did not abolish enzyme activity associated with the bacteria. The gluten degrading enzyme was identified as BAV86562.1, here identified as a member of the subtilisin family.
CONCLUSION: This study shows the potential of R. aeria to be used as a first probiotic for gluten digestion in vivo, either as live or dead bacteria, or, alternatively, for using the purified R. aeria enzyme, to benefit the gluten-intolerant patient population.
