ABSTRACT Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have linked IGF2BP2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Mice overexpressing mIGF2BP2 have elevated cholesterol levels when fed a diet that induces hepatic steatosis. These and other studies suggest an important role for insulin growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) in the initiation and progression of several metabolic disorders. The ATPase binding cassette protein ABCA1 initiates nascent high-density apolipoprotein (HDL) biogenesis by transferring phospholipid and cholesterol to delipidated apolipoprotein AI (ApoAI). Individuals with mutational ablation of ABCA1 have Tangier disease, which is characterized by a complete loss of HDL. MicroRNA 33a and 33b (miR-33a/b) bind to the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of ABCA1 and repress its posttranscriptional gene expression. Here, we show that IGF2BP2 works together with miR-33a/b in repressing ABCA1 expression. Our data suggest that IGF2BP2 is an accessory protein of the argonaute (AGO2)–miR-33a/b–RISC complex, as it directly binds to miR-33a/b, AGO2, and the 3′ UTR of ABCA1. Finally, we show that mice overexpressing human IGF2BP2 have decreased ABCA1 expression, increased low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and cholesterol blood levels, and elevated SREBP-dependent signaling. Our data support the hypothesis that IGF2BP2 has an important role in maintaining lipid homeostasis through its modulation of ABCA1 expression, as its overexpression or loss leads to dyslipidemia.

Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) is an mRNA-binding protein that has an oncofetal pattern of expression. It is also expressed in intestinal tissue, suggesting that it has a possible role in intestinal homeostasis. To investigate this possibility, here we generated Villin CreERT2:Igf2bp1flox/flox mice, which enabled induction of an IGF2BP1 knockout specifically in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) of adult mice. Using gut barrier and epithelial permeability assays and several biochemical approaches, we found that IGF2BP1 ablation in the adult intestinal epithelium causes mild active colitis and mild-to-moderate active enteritis. Moreover, the IGF2BP1 deletion aggravated dextran sodium sulfate–induced colitis. We also found that IGF2BP1 removal compromises barrier function of the intestinal epithelium, resulting from altered protein expression at tight junctions. Mechanistically, IGF2BP1 interacted with the mRNA of the tight-junction protein occludin (Ocln), stabilizing Ocln mRNA and inducing expression of occludin in IECs. Furthermore, ectopic occludin expression in IGF2BP1-knockdown cells restored barrier function. We conclude that IGF2BP1-dependent regulation of occludin expression is an important mechanism in intestinal barrier function maintenance and in the prevention of colitis.
