In UC, the mucus layer is intrinsically devoid of phosphatidylcholine (PC) resulting in low hydrophobicity which facilitates bacterial invasion. Colonic ectophospholipase-carrying bacterial strains are likely candidates to further thinning the PC mucus barrier and to precipitate inflammatory episodes. Objective: To evaluate the effect of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) inhibitors on inflammation in a genetic UC mouse model. Methods: As PLA2 inhibitor, we applied the bile acid-phospholipid conjugate ursodeoxycholate-lysophosphatidylethanolamide (UDCA-LPE) or as control 5% Tween 80 by oral gavage to intestine-specific kindlin 2 knockout mice. Results: Luminal UDCA-LPE reduced the PLA2 activity in stool by 36 ± 8%. Concomitantly no inflammatory phenotype was observed when compared to kindlin 2(–/–) mice not treated with UDCA-LPE. The improvement was documented in regard to stool consistency, calprotectin levels in stool, and macroscopic/endoscopic as well as histologic features of the mucosa. The pattern of colonic microbiota distribution obtained in the UC phenotype mice was reversed by UDCA-LPE to the control mice pattern. Conclusion: The inhibition of the bacterial ectophospholipase A2 activity improves mucosal inflammation in a genetic mouse model of UC. It is assumed that the remaining mucus PC shield is better preserved when luminal PLA2 is suppressed. %I Karger Publishers
