Intestinal Epithelial

The intestinal epithelium is the first determining barrier to the drugs administered per os. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are substantial in the initial step of xenobiotic metabolism; therefore, intestinal CYP enzyme activities could be an important influencing factor of the oral utilization of xenobiotic substances. In this study, the effect of four drinking water supplements on CYP mRNA levels of porcine intestinal epithelial cells was examined. Further goal of the study is to describe the effect of these feed additives on the proinflammatory response of the LPS-treated enterocytes. The nontransformed porcine intestinal epithelial cells (IPEC-J2) were grown on six-well polyester membrane inserts. Cell cultures were treated with LPS (10 μg/ml), β-glucan (5 and 50 μg/ml), sanguinarine-containing additive (5 and 50 μg/ml), drinking water acidifier (0.1 and 1 μl/ml), and fulvic acid (25 and 250 μg/ml) for 1 hour. Cells were washed with culture medium and incubated for additional 1 h before total RNA isolation. IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, HSP70, CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and CYP3A29 mRNA levels were measured. The LPS treatment upregulated the gene expression of IL-8 and TNF-α. The relative gene expression of IL-6 remained unchanged and TNF-α and HSP70 were downregulated after the treatment with each feed additive. CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 expressions increased after sanguinarine-containing solution, fulvic acid, and drinking water acidifier treatment. None of the treatments changed the gene expression of CYP3A29, responsible for the metabolism of the majority of drug substances used in swine industry. The feed additive substances inhibited the expression of proinflammatory mediators HSP70 and TNF-α; however, β-glucan and fulvic acid elevated the production of the chemokine IL-8 mRNA in endotoxin-treated enterocytes. All acidic supplements increased the expression of CYP1A1 gene; their constituents may serve as a ligand of CYP1A1 nuclear receptors.

We investigated the effect of four feed additives, namely β-glucan, a drinking water acidifier (DWA), a sanguinarine-containing product (SN) and fulvic acid, on hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) mRNA expression and CYP enzyme activity in chickens. The test substances were given to the chickens in the recommended dose or in tenfold dose. The administration of 5 mg/kg body weight (bw) β-glucan and 0.1 ml/kg bw DWA for five days decreased the relative gene expression of CYP1A4 and CYP2C23a. The dosing of 50 mg/kg bw β-glucan, 5 and 50 mg/kg bw SN, 1 ml/kg bw DWA and 250 mg/kg bw fulvic acid doubled the hepatic CYP1A4 activity. The activity of CYP2C and CYP3A remained unchanged. Avoidance of CYP1A-mediated feed-drug interactions requires accurate dosing of β-glucan, DWA and fulvic acid. According to our results, no treatment resulted in excessive or less CYP2C and CYP3A protein formation, which reduces the risk of potential feed additive-drug interactions in chickens. However, the administration of feed additive SN containing a plant alkaloid should be avoided concomitantly with CYP1A-metabolised medicines.

Folate Transport

We recently identified a cDNA clone from mouse small intestine, which appears to be involved in folate transport when expressed in Xenopus oocytes. The open reading frame of this clone is identical to that of the reduced folate carrier (RFC) (K. H. Dixon, B. C. Lanpher, J. Chiu, K. Kelley, and K. H. Cowan. J. Biol. Chem. 269: 17–20, 1994). The characteristics of this cDNA clone [previously referred to as intestinal folate carrier 1 (IFC-1)] expressed in Xenopus oocytes, however, were found to be different from the characteristics of folate transport in native small intestinal epithelial cells. To further study these differences, we determined the characteristics of RFC when expressed in an intestinal epithelial cell line, IEC-6, and compared the findings to its characteristics when expressed in Xenopus oocytes. RFC was stably transfected into IEC-6 cells by electroporation; its cRNA was microinjected into Xenopus oocytes. Northern blot analysis of poly(A)+RNA from IEC-6 cells stably transfected with RFC cDNA (IEC-6/RFC) showed a twofold increase in RFC mRNA levels over controls. Similarly, uptake of folic acid and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) by IEC-6/RFC was found to be fourfold higher than uptake in control sublines. This increase in folic acid and 5-MTHF uptake was inhibited by treating IEC-6/RFC cells with cholesterol-modified antisense DNA oligonucleotides. The increase in uptake was found to be mainly mediated through an increase in the maximal velocity ( V max) of the uptake process [the apparent Michaelis-Menten constant ( K m) also changed (range was 0.31 to 1.56 μM), but no specific trend was seen]. In both IEC-6/RFC and control sublines, the uptake of both folic acid and 5-MTHF displayed 1) pH dependency, with a higher uptake at acidic pH 5.5 compared with pH 7.5, and 2) inhibition to the same extent by both reduced and oxidized folate derivatives. These characteristics are very similar to those seen in native intestinal epithelial cells. In contrast, RFC expressed in Xenopus oocytes showed 1) higher uptake at neutral and alkaline pH 7.5 compared with acidic pH 5.5 and 2) higher sensitivity to reduced compared with oxidized folate derivatives. Results of these studies demonstrate that the characteristics of RFC vary depending on the cell system in which it is expressed. Furthermore, the results may suggest the involvement of cell- or tissue-specific posttranslational modification(s) and/or the existence of an auxiliary protein that may account for the differences in the characteristics of the intestinal RFC when expressed in Xenopus oocytes compared with when expressed in intestinal epithelial cells.

Most mitochondrial genes are transcribed as a single large transcript from the heavy strand of mitochondrial DNA, and are subsequently processed into the proximal mitochondrial (mt) 12 S and 16 S rRNAs, and the more distal tRNAs and mRNAs. We have shown that in intestinal epithelial biopsies the steady-state levels of mt 12 S and 16 S rRNA are an order of magnitude greater than those of mt mRNAs. Fractionation of rat small intestinal epithelial cells on the basis of their maturity has shown that the greatest ratios of 12 S mt rRNA/cytochrome b mt mRNA or 12 S mt rRNA/cytochrome oxidase I mt mRNA are found in the surface mature enterocytes, with a progressive decrease towards the crypt immature enteroblasts. Cytochrome b and cytochrome oxidase I mt mRNA levels are relatively uniform along the crypt-villus axis, but fractionation experiments showed increased levels in the crypt base. The levels of human mitochondrial transcription factor A are also greater in immature crypt enteroblasts compared with mature villus enterocytes. These results show that the relative levels of mt rRNA and mRNA are distinctly regulated in intestinal epithelial cells according to the crypt-villus position and differentiation status of the cells, and that there are higher mt mRNA and mt TFA levels in the crypts, consistent with increased transcriptional activity during mitochondrial biogenesis in the immature enteroblasts.

Abstract Intestinal organoids better represent in vivo intestinal properties than conventionally used established cell lines in vitro. However, they are maintained in three-dimensional culture conditions that may be accompanied by handling complexities. We characterized the properties of human organoid-derived two-dimensionally cultured intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) compared with those of their parental organoids. We found that the expression of several intestinal markers and functional genes were indistinguishable between monolayer IECs and organoids. We further confirmed that their specific ligands equally activate intestinal ligand-activated transcriptional regulators in a dose-dependent manner. The results suggest that culture conditions do not significantly influence the fundamental properties of monolayer IECs originating from organoids, at least from the perspective of gene expression regulation. This will enable their use as novel biological tools to investigate the physiological functions of the human intestine.
