A242 STOOL FROM IBS-D PATIENT WITH A HISTORY OF A DYSBIOTIC AND NON-DYSBIOTIC ONSET MODULATE NEURONAL EXCITABILITY VIA DIFFERENT MECHANISMS
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background We have shown that Irritable Bowel Syndrome diarrhea-predominant (IBS-D) patients with a history of a dysbiotic-like onset have distinct stool metabolomic profiles versus those with a non-dysbiotic-like onset. IBS stool supernatants can sensitize mouse colonic afferent nerves via both histamine and proteases. However, it is unknown if stool supernatants from the two IBS-D subgroups modulate the excitability of nociceptive neurons via different neuroactive mediators Aims To evaluate whether there are differences in neuroactive mediators within stool supernatants from subgroups of IBS-D patients that can modulate the excitability of nociceptive neurons. Methods Stool samples from healthy control (HC) (N=5) and IBS-D patients with a dysbiotic (N=7) or non-dysbiotic-like (N=7) onset, was homogenized with Krebs solution and filtered. Proteolytic activity was assessed using casein as a substrate with and without protease inhibitors. Histamine was quantified by ELISA. DRG neurons from C57BL/6 mice were incubated overnight or acutely (30 min) with stool supernatants. Some neurons were pre-incubated with PAR2 (GB83, 10 μM) or H1R (pyrilamine, 1μM) antagonists prior to supernatant incubation. Changes in neuronal excitability were assessed with perforated patch-clamp by measuring the rheobase (current that elicits an action potential). Results Proteolytic activity in dysbiotic-like (57.9 U/μg, p<0.05) but not non-dysbiotic like (37.4 U/μg) stool supernatant was increased compared to HC (25.2 U/μg). Serine inhibitor decreased proteolytic activity of dysbiotic (46.6%, p<0.05) and non-dysbiotic (34.2%, p<0.01) supernatant whereas cysteine, aspartic and metalloproteases inhibitors had no effect. Histamine was increased 78% (p<0.05) in IBS-D compared to HC. No differences in proteolytic activity and histamine concentration between IBS-D subtypes were found. In patch-clamp recordings, overnight incubation with dysbiotic (19%, p<0.05) and non-dysbiotic (22%, p< 0.01) stool supernatant decreased rheobase of DRG neurons compared to HC. No difference in rheobase was observed between IBS-D subtypes. GB83 blocked the overnight actions of supernatants from both subgroups, but pyrilamine had no effect. In contrast, following acute incubation, pyrilamine blocked the hyperexcitability evoked by dysbiotic like supernatant (60pA vs 48pA, p<0.001) but had no effect on non-dysbiotic like supernatants. Conclusions Proteases in stool supernatants from IBS-D patients increase neuronal excitability but only those with a history of dysbiotic like onset acutely increase neuronal excitability through H1 receptors. These findings suggest that stool supernatants from subgroups of IBS-D may modulate nociceptor excitability via different mechanisms.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
