Polyamines are essential for cell migration during early mucosal restitution after wounding in the gastrointestinal tract. Activity of voltage-gated K+ channels (Kv) controls membrane potential ( E m) that regulates cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) by governing the driving force for Ca2+ influx. This study determined whether polyamines are required for the stimulation of cell migration by altering K+ channel gene expression, E m, and [Ca2+]cyt in intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6). The specific inhibitor of polyamine synthesis, α-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO, 5 mM), depleted cellular polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, and spermine), selectively inhibited Kv1.1 channel (a delayed-rectifier Kv channel) expression, and resulted in membrane depolarization. Because IEC-6 cells did not express voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, the depolarized E m in DFMO-treated cells decreased [Ca2+]cyt as a result of reduced driving force for Ca2+ influx through capacitative Ca2+ entry. Migration was reduced by 80% in the polyamine-deficient cells. Exogenous spermidine not only reversed the effects of DFMO on Kv1.1 channel expression, E m, and [Ca2+]cyt but also restored cell migration to normal. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ or blockade of Kv channels (by 4-aminopyridine, 1–5 mM) significantly inhibited normal cell migration and prevented the restoration of cell migration by exogenous spermidine in polyamine-deficient cells. These results suggest that polyamine-dependent intestinal epithelial cell migration may be due partially to an increase of Kv1.1 channel expression. The subsequent membrane hyperpolarization raises [Ca2+]cyt by increasing the driving force (the electrochemical gradient) for Ca2+ influx and thus stimulates cell migration.

The intestinal barrier is often disrupted in disease states, and intestinal barrier failure leads to sepsis. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is a bile acid that may protect the intestinal barrier. We hypothesized that UDCA would protect the intestinal epithelium in injury models. To test this hypothesis, we utilized an in vitro wound-healing assay and a mouse model of intestinal barrier injury. We found that UDCA stimulates intestinal epithelial cell migration in vitro, and this migration was blocked by inhibition of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), or ERK. Furthermore, UDCA stimulated both COX-2 induction and EGFR phosphorylation. In vivo UDCA protected the intestinal barrier from LPS-induced injury as measured by FITC dextran leakage into the serum. Using 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine and 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine injections, we found that UDCA stimulated intestinal epithelial cell migration in these animals. These effects were blocked with either administration of Rofecoxib, a COX-2 inhibitor, or in EGFR-dominant negative Velvet mice, wherein UDCA had no effect on LPS-induced injury. Finally, we found increased COX-2 and phosphorylated ERK levels in LPS animals also treated with UDCA. Taken together, these data suggest that UDCA can stimulate intestinal epithelial cell migration and protect against acute intestinal injury via an EGFR- and COX-2-dependent mechanism. UDCA may be an effective treatment to prevent the early onset of gut-origin sepsis. NEW & NOTEWORTHY In this study, we show that the secondary bile acid ursodeoxycholic acid stimulates intestinal epithelial cell migration after cellular injury and also protects the intestinal barrier in an acute rodent injury model, neither of which has been previously reported. These effects are dependent on epidermal growth factor receptor activation and downstream cyclooxygenase 2 upregulation in the small intestine. This provides a potential treatment for acute, gut-origin sepsis as seen in diseases such as necrotizing enterocolitis.

Epithelial Cell Migration

Intestinal epithelial cell migration plays a key role in gastrointestinal mucosal barrier formation, enterocyte development, differentiation, turnover, wound healing, and adenocarcinoma metastasis. Chemokines, through engagement of their corresponding receptors, are potent mediators of directed cell migration and are critical in the establishment and regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses. The aim of this study was to define the role for the chemokine CXCL12 and its sole cognate receptor CXCR4 in regulating intestinal epithelial cell migration and to determine its impact on barrier integrity. CXCL12 stimulated the dose-dependent chemotactic migration of human T84 colonic epithelial cells. Epithelial cell migration was inhibited by CXCR4 neutralizing antibody, pertussis toxin, LY-294002, and PD-98059, thereby implicating Gαi, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase), and the ERK1/2 MAP kinase pathways in CXCR4-specific signaling. CXCL12 was also shown to increase barrier integrity, as defined by transepithelial resistance and paracellular flux across differentiating T84 monolayers. To determine whether CXCL12 regulated epithelial restitution, we used the normal nontransformed intestinal epithelial cell-6 (IEC-6) wound healing model. By using RT-PCR, immunoblot analysis, and immunofluorescence microscopy, we first showed expression of both CXCR4 and its ligand by IEC-6 cells. We then demonstrated that CXCL12 activated comparable signaling mechanisms to stimulate epithelial migration in the absence of proliferation in wounded IEC-6 monolayers. Taken together, these data indicate that CXCL12 signaling via CXCR4 directs intestinal epithelial cell migration, barrier maturation, and restitution, consistent with an important mechanistic role for these molecules in mucosal barrier integrity and innate host defense.
