AbstractIL-33 is a cytokine found in the extracellular space (mature IL-33) or in the cell nucleus (full-length IL-33). Nuclear accumulation of IL-33 has been reported in intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) during intestinal inflammation and cancer, but a functional role for this nuclear form remains unclear. To study the role of nuclear IL-33inIEC, we generated transgenic mice expressing full-length IL-33inthe intestinal epithelium (Vfl33mice). Expression of full-length IL-33 in the epithelium resulted in accumulation of IL-33 protein in the nucleus and secretion of IL-33. Over-expression of full-length IL-33 by IEC did not promote gut inflammation, but induced expression of genes in the IEC and lamina propria lymphocytes (LPL) that correlated negatively with genes expressed in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Because the IL-33 receptor ST2 is expressed by IEC, there was the potential that both the mature and full-length forms could mediate this effect. To specifically interrogate the transcriptional role of nuclear IL-33,weintercrossed theVfl33mice with ST2-deficient mice. ST2 deficiency completely abrogated the transcriptional effects elicited by IL-33 expression, suggesting that the transcriptional effects of IL-33 on IEC are mediated by its mature, not its nuclear form.HighlightsExpression of full-length IL-33 in the epithelium resulted in accumulation of IL-33 protein in the nucleus and secretion of IL-33.Full-length IL-33 induced differential gene expression in IEC and LPL that was negatively associated with intestinal inflammatory diseasesIL-33 regulated gene expression in IEC via its extracellular (mature) form not via its nuclearform.

Hypoxia is a notable feature of inflammatory bowel disease and chronic induction of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α (endothelial PAS domain protein 1, EPAS1) play important, but opposing, roles in its pathogenesis. While activation of HIF-1α decreases intestinal inflammation and is beneficial in colitis, activation of HIF-2α exacerbates colitis and increases colon carcinogenesis in animal models, primarily due to the role of epithelial HIF-2α in mounting a potent inflammatory response. Previous work from our laboratory showed that mice overexpressing intestinal epithelial HIF-2α led to massive intestinal inflammation and decreased survival. As oxygen homeostasis and HIFs are critical in embryonic development, it is not clear whether the observed intestinal inflammatory response was secondary to developmental defects. To address this question, the present study used a mouse model to temporally modulate expression of intestinal epithelial HIF-2α to assess its role in mediating inflammatory response. Remarkably, activation of HIF-2α in intestinal epithelial cells in adult mice increased expression of proinflammatory mediators; however, no decrease in survival was observed. Furthermore, in an acute model of colitis, activation of HIF-2α was sufficient to exacerbate colitis. These data confirm our previous finding that epithelial HIF-2α mediates inflammatory response and demonstrates that activation of HIF-2α is sufficient to exacerbate colitis.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disease of the intestinal tract. Hypoxia and activation of its downstream transcription factors hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α are notable features of IBD. HIF-1α has well-characterized protective roles in IBD; however, the role of HIF-2α has been less studied. Using novel HIF-2α mouse models, we show that activation of HIF-2α in intestinal epithelial cells is sufficient to exacerbate colitis.

Epithelial Inflammation

Syndecan-1 (SDC1), with a long variable ectodomain carrying heparan sulfate chains, participates in many steps of inflammatory responses. But reports about the efforts of SDC1’s unshedding ectodomain on intestinal epithelial inflammation and the precise underlying mechanism are limited. In our study, unshedding SDC1 from intestinal epithelial cell models was established by transfecting with unshedding SDC1 plasmid into the cell, respectively. And the role of unshedding SDC1 in intestinal inflammation was further investigated. We found that components of NF-κB pathway, including P65 and IκBα, and secretion of TNF-αwere upregulated upon LPS stimulation in intestinal epithelial cells. SDC1, especially through its unshed ectodomain, significantly lessened the upregulation extent. It also functioned in inhibiting migration of neutrophils by downregulating secretion of CXCL-1. Taken together, we conclude that suppressing SDC1 shedding from intestinal epithelial cells relieves severity of intestinal inflammation by inactivating NF-κB pathway and downregulating TNF-αexpression. These results indicate that the ectodomain of SDC1 might be the optional therapy for intestinal inflammation.

Abstract Background The complications caused by diabetes mellitus (DM) are the focus of clinical treatment. However, little is known about diabetic enteropathy (DE) and its potential underlying mechanism. Methods Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and intestinal epithelial stem cells (IESCs) were harvested from BKS.Cg-Dock7m+/+Leprdb/JNju (DM) mice, and the expression of R-Spondin 3 (Rspo3) was detected by RT-qPCR, Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. The role of Rspo3 in the abnormal differentiation of IECs during DM was confirmed by knockdown experiments. Through miRNA expression profiling, bioinformatics analysis, and RT-qPCR, we further analyzed the differentiation-related miRNAs in the IECs from mice with DM. Results Abnormal differentiation of IECs was observed in the mice with DM. The expression of Rspo3 was upregulated in the IECs from the mice with DM. This phenomenon was associated with Rspo3 overexpression. Additionally, Rspo3 is a major determinant of Lgr5+ stem cell identity in the diabetic state. Microarray analysis, bioinformatics analysis, and luciferase reporter assays revealed that microRNA (miR)-380-5p directly targeted Rspo3. Moreover, miR-380-5p upregulation was observed to attenuate the abnormal differentiation of IECs by regulating Rspo3 expression. Conclusions Together, our results provide definitive evidence of the essential role of Rspo3 in the differentiation of IECs in DM.

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive lipid molecule, which regulates a broad range of pathophysiological processes. Recent studies have demonstrated that LPA modulates electrolyte flux in the intestine, and its potential as an antidiarrheal agent has been suggested. Of six LPA receptors, LPA5 is highly expressed in the intestine. Recent studies by our group have demonstrated activation of Na+/H+ exchanger 3 (NHE3) by LPA5. However, much of what has been elucidated was achieved using colonic cell lines that were transfected to express LPA5. In the current study, we engineered a mouse that lacks LPA5 in intestinal epithelial cells, Lpar5ΔIEC, and investigated the role of LPA5 in NHE3 regulation and fluid absorption in vivo. The intestine of Lpar5ΔIEC mice appeared morphologically normal, and the stool frequency and fecal water content were unchanged compared with wild-type mice. Basal rates of NHE3 activity and fluid absorption and total NHE3 expression were not changed in Lpar5ΔIEC mice. However, LPA did not activate NHE3 activity or fluid absorption in Lpar5ΔIEC mice, providing direct evidence for the regulatory role of LPA5. NHE3 activation involves trafficking of NHE3 from the terminal web to microvilli, and this mobilization of NHE3 by LPA was abolished in Lpar5ΔIEC mice. Dysregulation of NHE3 was specific to LPA, and insulin and cholera toxin were able to stimulate and inhibit NHE3, respectively, in both wild-type and Lpar5ΔIEC mice. The current study for the first time demonstrates the necessity of LPA5 in LPA-mediated stimulation of NHE3 in vivo. NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study is the first to assess the role of LPA5 in NHE3 regulation and fluid absorption in vivo using a mouse that lacks LPA5 in intestinal epithelial cells, Lpar5ΔIEC. Basal rates of NHE3 activity and fluid absorption, and total NHE3 expression were not changed in Lpar5ΔIEC mice. However, LPA did not activate NHE3 activity or fluid absorption in Lpar5ΔIEC mice, providing direct evidence for the regulatory role of LPA5.
