Clostridium difficile (C.difficile) is the leading cause of nosocomial infectious diarrhea. Increasing incidence, antibiotic resistance and more virulent strains have dramatically increased the number of C.difficile-related deaths worldwide. The innate host response mechanisms to C.difficile are not resolved; however, we hypothesize that hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1) plays an innate protective role in C.difficile colitis. Thus, we assessed the impact of C.difficile toxins on the regulation of HIF-1 and evaluated the role of HIF-1α in C.difficile-mediated injury/inflammation. In vitro studies assessed HIF-1α mRNA, protein levels and DNA binding events in human mucosal biopsies and Caco-2 cells exposed to C.difficile toxins. In vivo studies employed the murine ileal loop model of C.difficile toxin-induced intestinal injury. Mice with targeted deletion of HIF-1α in the intestinal epithelium were used to assess the impact of HIF-1α signaling in response to C.difficile toxin. Mucosal biopsies and Caco-2 cells exposed to C.difficile toxin displayed a significant increase in HIF-1α transcription and protein levels. Toxin-induced DNA binding was also observed in Caco-2 cells. Toxin-induced HIF-1α accumulation was attenuated by nitric oxide synthase inhibitors. In vivo, deletion of intestinal epithelial HIF-1α resulted in more severe toxin-induced intestinal injury and inflammation. In contrast, stabilization of HIF-1α, with dimethyloxallyl glycine, attenuated toxin-induced injury and inflammation. This was associated with an induction of HIF-1-regulated protective factors including VEGFa, CD73 and intestinal trefoil factor and down-regulation of proinflammatory molecules TNF and KC. Our study is the first to describe the innate protective role for HIF-1α in response to C.difficile toxins. Harnessing the innate protective actions of HIF-1α in response to C.difficile toxins may represent a novel form of therapy for C.difficile-associated disease.
