Publisher Copyright: © 2023 The AuthorsBackground & Aims: Although gut inflammation and dysbiosis have been implicated in the pathophysiology of severe cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the role of intestinal anti-inflammatory enzymes, such as alkaline phosphatase, is still underexplored. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare intestinal alkaline phosphatase (iALP) activity and its proinflammatory substrate - bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) - concentration between mild-to-moderate and severe COVID-19 patients. Methods: Stool samples collected from 53 mild-to-moderate and 57 severe adult COVID-19 patients, previously enrolled in a national multicentre cross-sectional study (NCT04355741), were analysed for iALP activity and LPS concentration. Results: iALP activity decreased by 40% in severe compared to mild-to-moderate COVID-19 patients (median [interquartile range] of 120.6 [25.2–593.1] nmol pNP/min/g of protein vs 202.8 [102.1–676.1] nmol pNP/min/g of protein; P = .04) after adjustment for clinical and gut microbiota parameters. Regarding fecal LPS, its concentration was found to be decreased in severe patients (mean ± standard error of mean of 18,118 ± 1225 EU/g of feces vs 22,508 ± 1203 EU/g of feces; P = .01), although this parameter did not correlate with plasma levels of C-reactive protein (P = .08), a sensitive biomarker of systemic inflammation. In contrast, fecal ALP activity / LPS concentration ratio, an indicator of iALP efficiency, was found to be increased in severe compared to mild-to-moderate COVID-19 patients (P = .04). Conclusion: Changes in iALP kinetic parameters found in severe COVID-19 patients may represent a potential mechanism to counterbalance alterations in gut homeostasis (eg inflammation and dysbiosis) associated with COVID-19 severity.NOVA Medical School|Faculdade de Ciências Médicas (NMS|FCM)Centro de Investigação em Tecnologias e Serviços de Saúde (CINTESIS)Comprehensive Health Research Centre (CHRC) - pólo NMSRUNAraújo, João R.Serafim, ThaináIsmael, ShámilaCalhau, ConceiçãoFaria, AnaTeixeira, Diana2023-11-08T22:08:27Z2023-012023-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7application/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/159715eng2772-5723PURE: 74055753https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gastha.2023.07.003info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T05:42:09Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/159715Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:57:40.190424Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
