摘要
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a debilitating nosocomial disease. Postmenopausal women may have an increased risk of CDI, suggesting estrogen influence. Soybean products contain a representative estrogenic isoflavone, genistein.The anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects of genistein were determined using primary human cells and fresh colonic tissues. The effects of oral genistein therapy among mice and hamsters were evaluated.Within 10 days of CDI, female c57BL/6J mice in a standard environment (regular diet) had a 50% survival rate, while those with estrogen depletion and in an isoflavone-free environment (soy-free diet) had a 25% survival rate. Oral genistein improved their 10-day survival rate to 100% on a regular diet and 75% in an isoflavone-free environment. Genistein reduced macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) secretion in fresh human colonic tissues exposed to toxins. Genistein inhibited MIP-1α secretion in primary human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, abolished apoptosis and BCL-2-associated X (BAX) expression in human colonic epithelial cells, and activated lysine-deficient protein kinase 1 (WNK1) phosphorylation in both cell types. The anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects of genistein were abolished by inhibiting estrogen receptors and WNK1.Genistein reduces CDI disease activity by inhibiting proinflammatory cytokine expression and apoptosis via the estrogen receptor/G-protein estrogen receptor/WNK1 pathways.
