Inflammatory responses have been shown to induce hyperglycemia, yet the underlying mechanism is still largely unclear. GLP-1 is an important intestinal hormone for regulating glucose homeostasis; however, few studies have investigated the influence of digestive tract Salmonella infection on enteroendocrine L cell secretions. In this study, we established a model of Salmonella-infected piglets by oral gavage in order to analyze the effects of Salmonella infection on enteroendocrine L cell function. Furthermore, in vitro lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was administered to STC-1 cells to clarify its direct effect on GLP-1 secretion. The results showed that significantly increased blood glucose in the group of Salmonella-infected piglets was observed, and Salmonella infection decreased blood GLP-1 content. Then, ileal epithelium damage was observed by histological detection, and this was further verified by TUNEL staining. We identified activation of TLR signaling demonstrating up-regulated expressions of TLR4 and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-ΚB). Furthermore, it was shown that Salmonella induced pyroptosis of enteroendocrine L cells and enhanced the secretion of IL-1β through augmenting gene and protein expressions of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a carboxyl-terminal CARD (ASC), Caspase 1, and gasdermin D (GSDMD). Meanwhile, in vitro LPS treatment induced the pyroptosis of STC-1 cells and reduced the secretion of GLP-1. Altogether, the results demonstrated that Salmonella infection can reduce secretion of GLP-1 by inducing pyroptosis of intestinal L cells, which may eventually result in hyperglycemia. The results provided evidence for the cause of hyperglycemia induced by inflammation and shed new light on glucose homeostasis regulation.
