Cl Conductance

We used perforated patch, whole-cell current recordings and video-based fluorescence ratio imaging to monitor the relation of plasma membrane ionic conductances to intracellular free Ca2+ within individual colonic epithelial cells (HT-29). The Ca2(+)-mediated agonist, neurotensin, activated K+ and Cl- conductances that showed different sensitivities to [Ca2+]i. The Cl- conductance was sensitive to increases or decreases in [Ca2+]i around the resting value of 76 +/- 32 (mean +/- SD) nM (n = 46), whereas activation of the K+ conductance required at least a 10-fold rise in [Ca2+]i. Neurotensin increased [Ca2+]i by stimulating a transient intracellular Ca2+ release, which was followed by a sustained rise in [Ca2+]i due to Ca2+ influx from the bath. The onset of the initial [Ca2+]i transient, monitored at a measurement window over the cell interior, lagged behind the rise in Cl- current during agonist stimulation. This lag was not present when the [Ca2+]i rise was due to Ca2+ entry from the bath, induced either by the agonist or by the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin. The temporal differences in [Ca2+]i and Cl- current during the agonist-induced [Ca2+]i transient can be explained by a localized Ca2+ release from intracellular stores in the vicinity of the plasma membrane Cl- channel. Chloride currents recover toward basal values more rapidly than [Ca2+]i after the agonist-induced [Ca2+]i transient, and, during a sustained neurotensin-induced [Ca2+]i rise, Cl- currents inactivate. These findings suggest that an inhibitory pathway limits the increase in Cl- conductance that can be evoked by agonist. Because this Cl- current inhibition is not observed during a sustained [Ca2+]i rise induced by ionomycin, the inhibitory pathway may be mediated by another agonist-induced messenger, such as diacylglycerol.

This study examines the ability of HT-29 human colonic epithelial cells to stimulate neutrophil migration and adhesion. Interleukin-8 (IL-8), a potent neutrophil chemoattractant, was detected in conditioned media from both unstimulated (1.1 ng/ml) and IL-1 beta-stimulated (16.1 ng/ml) HT-29 cultures. Conditioned medium from IL-1 beta-exposed HT-29 cells stimulated neutrophil migration (395% of control, P < 0.01), and this effect was completely inhibited by anti-IL-8 antibody. HT-29 medium also induced shedding of neutrophil L-selectin and increased expression of neutrophil CD11/CD18 adhesion receptors. Coculture of HT-29 cells with human endothelial cell monolayers resulted in increased neutrophil transendothelial migration (169% of control, P < 0.01), which was blocked by both anti-IL-8 and anti-CD18 antibody. Northern hybridization analysis demonstrated increased levels of mRNA for IL-8 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in cytokine-treated HT-29 cells. Cytokine stimulation of HT-29 monolayers was also associated with increased neutrophil adhesion to these cells. Neutrophil-HT-29 cell adhesion was blocked by monoclonal antibodies to neutrophil CD18 or to ICAM-1 on the HT-29 cells (86% and 56% inhibition, respectively, P < 0.01 for both). These data suggest that IL-8 secretion by activated colonic epithelial cells may contribute to neutrophil extravasation and tissue infiltration in intestinal inflammation.

Cl Conductance

HT29-Cl.16E and HT29-Cl.19A are two different subcloned cell lines derived from the human adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29. They are similar in their ability to grow and differentiate to polarized epithelial cells but differ in that HT29-Cl.16E is goblet cell-like with many mucin granules, whereas HT29-Cl.19A lacks mucin granules. Extracellular ATP stimulates Cl- secretion in both cell lines through luminal purinergic P20 receptors and, in HT29-Cl.16E, also mucin secretion release. To evaluate whether fusion of mucin granules is associated with an increase in Cl- conductance of the plasma membrane, the effects of two fusion inhibitors on luminal Cl- conductance were measured. Blockage of actin depolymerization with phalloidin (1 microM) inhibited purinergically stimulated but not adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-stimulated luminal Cl- efflux by 50% in HT29-Cl.16E. The same treatment was without effect in HT29-Cl.19A. The fungal metabolite wortmannin, which is an inhibitor of regulated exocytosis in leukocytes, at 100 nM inhibited Cl- secretion by 70% in HT29-Cl.16E. This inhibition was not a direct effect on purinergically stimulated Cl- channels because wortmannin concentrations of up to 1 microM did not affect the secretory response in HT29-Cl.19A. The wortmannin inhibition of Cl- secretion is associated with an inhibition of granule fusion as judged by electron microscopy. The differential inhibition of Cl- secretion in the related HT-29 clones that differ with respect to the presence of mucin granules indicates that 1) the granule fusion inhibitors, phalloidin and wortmannin, have no direct inhibitory effects on purinergically and cAMP-activated Cl- channels, 2) a major portion of purinergically but not cAMP-activated Cl- channels is associated with granule fusion in HT29-Cl.16E, and 3) the signaling pathways for Cl- secretion and granule fusion are not completely identical.

Cl Conductance

The relationship between adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-mediated Cl- secretion and the cellular location of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) was determined in both polarized (Cl.19A) and unpolarized (parental) HT-29 colonocytes expressing similar levels of CFTR mRNA and protein. CFTR immunolocalized to the apical membrane domain of polarized colonocytes exhibiting cAMP-responsive Cl- secretion. In contrast, CFTR staining was perinuclear in unpolarized colonocytes, which gave little or no cAMP-stimulated Cl- conductance responses. Thus cAMP-stimulated Cl- secretion coincided with an apical localization of CFTR. Brefeldin A (BFA) was used to perturb glycoprotein targeting in these cells. In polarized colonocytes, BFA caused a reversible, time-dependent decrease in the Cl-conductance response to cAMP but not Ca2+. Apical CFTR redistributed into large coalesced intracellular vesicles, located within the same plane as the microtubule organizing center, a marker for the trans-Golgi network (TGN). In preconfluent monolayers or unpolarized HT-29 cells, BFA had no effect on CFTR staining, which remained perinuclear. Mature, Golgi-processed CFTR protein was isolated from both polarized and unpolarized colonocytes. Thus the mechanism for polarization-dependent apical membrane CFTR targeting and the acquisition of cAMP-dependent Cl- secretion lies at or beyond the late Golgi-TGN in epithelial cells.

C. butyricum is a common gut commensal bacterium, which has many positive functions in human intestine. In this study, we investigated the effects of monosaccharide and its derivatives on the adhesion of C. butyricum to the mucus of HT-29 cells. RNA interference was performed to assess the roles of MUC2 and glycan in the adhesion of C. butyricum to HT-29 cells. The effects of C. butyricum on the glycosylation of mucins were assayed with fluorescence microscope. The expression levels of mucins and glycotransferases were also determined. The results showed that C. butyricum could adhere to the mucins secreted by HT-29 cells. Several kinds of monosaccharides inhibited the adhesion of C. butyricum to HT-29 cells, which suggested that the mucus glycan was the attaching sites of this bacterium. Knockdown of MUC2, FUT2 or GALNT7 significantly decreased the numbers of the bacteria adhering to HT-29 cells. When colonizing on the surface of HT-29 cells, C. butyricum could increase the production of mucins, promote the expression of glycotransferase, and induce the glycosylation of mucins. These results demonstrated that the glycan of mucus played important roles in the adhesion of C. butyricum to HT-29 cells. This study indicates for the first time that C. butyricum possesses the ability to modulate the glycosylation profile of mucus secreted by HT-29 cells. These findings contribute to understanding the mechanism of interaction between colonic epithelial cells and commensal bacteria.

ABSTRACT Colonic epithelial cells are constantly exposed to high levels of bacterial DNA in the intestinal lumen and must recognize and respond appropriately to pathogens, while they maintain a tolerance to nonpathogenic commensal bacterial strains. Bacterial DNA is recognized by Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9). The aim of this study was to investigate TLR9 expression and localization in colonic epithelial cells under basal conditions and in response to bacterial DNA. HT-29 cells were exposed to DNA from various strains of commensal and pathogenic microbes. TLR9 mRNA expression was determined by real-time reverse transcription-PCR, and interleukin-8 (IL-8) secretion was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Localization of TLR9 was determined by flow cytometry in HT-29 cells and by immunofluorescence in HT-29 cells and mouse colonic tissue. Immunofluorescence and flow cytometric analyses demonstrated that there was intracellular and surface expression of TLR9 in HT-29 cells under basal conditions. Exposure of cells to DNA from pathogenic strains of Salmonella and Escherichia coli resulted in a significant increase in TLR9 mRNA expression. Salmonella enterica serovar Dublin DNA increased surface TLR9 protein and IL-8 secretion. There was no change in mRNA levels or localization of TLR9 in response to Bifidobacterium breve. Chloroquine did not block IL-8 secretion in response to S. enterica serovar Dublin DNA. TLR9 was expressed on the colonic apical surface in wild-type mice but not in germfree mice. These results demonstrate that intestinal epithelial cells recognize pathogenic bacterial DNA and respond by increasing surface localization and expression of TLR9, suggesting that the epithelial inflammatory response to pathogenic DNA is mediated at least in part by increased TLR9 expression.
