Intestine-Specific NHE3 Deletion in Adulthood Causes Microbial Dysbiosis

Abstract excerpt

In the intestine, the Na+/H+ exchanger 3 (NHE3) plays a critical role for Na+ and fluid absorption. NHE3 deficiency predisposes patients to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In mice, selective deletion of intestinal NHE3 causes various local and systemic pathologies due to dramatic changes in the intestinal environment, which can influence microbiota colonization. By using metagenome shotgun sequencing, we...
