We previously demonstrated that water intake increased mesenteric lymph flow and the total flux of IL-22 in rat jejunum. The drained water and the higher permeability of albumin in the jejunal microcirculation contributed to increase the lymph flow and IL-22 transport via the activation of great bulk flow in the jejunal villi. To address the effects of water intake-mediated great bulk flow-dependent mechanical force on the jejunal physiological function and immunological regulation of ILC-3, we examined the effects of shear stress stimulation on cultured rat myofibroblast cells. Next, we investigated the effects of water intake on podoplanin and IL-22 expressions in cultured human intestinal epithelial cells and rat in vivo jejunal preparations, respectively. The shear stress stimulation on the myofibroblast cells induced ATP release via an activation of cell surface F1/F0 ATP synthase. ATP produced podoplanin expression in the intestinal epithelial cells. Water intake accelerated immunohistochemical expressions of podoplanin and IL-22 in the interepithelial layers and lamina propria of the jejunum. ATP increased dose-dependently IL-22 mRNA expression in ILC-3, which housed in the lamina propria. Water intake also increased immunohistochemical and mRNA expressions of the ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 2 and 5 in jejunal villi. In conclusion, water intake-mediated shear stress stimulation-dependent ATP release from myofibroblast cells maintains higher tissue colloid osmotic pressure in the jejunal microcirculation through podoplanin upregulation in the interepithelial layers. ATP induces IL-22 mRNA expression in ILC-3 in jejunal villi, which may contribute to regulate the mucosal immunity in small intestine.

Butyrate Treatment

Butyrate is a major metabolite in colonic lumen. It is produced from bacterial fermentation of dietary fiber. Butyrate has been shown to stimulate electroneutral sodium absorption through its regulation on sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3). Although NHE8, the newest addition of intestinal NHE family, is involved in sodium absorption in the intestinal tract, whether butyrate modulates NHE8 expression in the intestinal epithelial cells is not known. In the current study, we showed that butyrate treatment strongly induced NHE8 protein and NHE8 mRNA expression in human intestinal epithelial cells. Transfection with the human NHE8 promoter reporter constructs showed that butyrate treatment stimulated reporter gene expression at an amount comparable with its stimulation of NHE8 mRNA expression. Interestingly, a similar result was also observed in human NHE8 promoter transfected cells after trichostatin (TSA) treatment. Gel mobility shift assay identified an enhanced Sp3 protein binding on the human NHE8 basal promoter region upon butyrate stimulation. Furthermore, Sp3 acetylation modification is involved in butyrate-mediated NHE8 activation in Caco-2 cells. Our findings suggest that the mechanism of butyrate action on NHE8 expression involves enhanced Sp3 interaction at the basal promoter region of the human NHE8 gene promoter to activate NHE8 gene transcription. Thus butyrate is involved in intestinal regulation of NHE8 resulting enhanced sodium absorption.

The intestinal tract encompasses the largest mucosal surface fortified with a fine layer of intestinal epithelial cells along with highly sophisticated network of the lamina propria immune cells that are indispensable to sustain gut homeostasis. However, it can be challenging to uphold homeostasis when these cells in the intestine are perpetually exposed to insults of both endogenous and exogenous origin. The complex networking and dynamic microenvironment in the intestine demand highly functional cells ultimately burdening the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) leading to ER stress. Unresolved ER stress is one of the primary contributors to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Studies also suggest that ER stress can be the primary cause of inflammation and/or the consequence of inflammation. Therefore, understanding the patterns of expression of ER stress regulators and deciphering the intricate interplay between ER stress and inflammatory pathways in intestinal epithelial cells in association with lamina propria immune cells contribute toward the development of novel therapies to tackle IBD. This review provides imperative insights into the molecular markers involved in the pathogenesis of IBD by potentiating ER stress and inflammation and briefly describes the potential pharmacological intervention strategies to mitigate ER stress and IBD. In addition, genetic mutations in the biomarkers contributing to abnormalities in the ER stress signaling pathways further emphasizes the relevance of biomarkers in potential treatment for IBD.

We determined whether the cytoprotective heat shock protein HSP72 protects against the injurious effects of Clostridium difficile toxin A (TxA) on intestinal epithelial cells. Colonic epithelial Caco-2/bbe (C2) cells were stably transfected with HSP72 antisense (C2AS) or vector only (C2VC), resulting in low and high HSP72 expression, respectively. Measurements of epithelial barrier integrity, mitochondrial function, and apoptosis activation were assessed after TxA exposure. HSP72 and RhoA interactions were evaluated with immunoprecipitations. In C2AS cells, TxA was associated with a greater decrease in transepithelial resistance (TER), an increase in [3H]mannitol flux, and increased dissociation of perijunctional actin. Although HSP72 binds RhoA, it failed to prevent RhoA glucosylation. TxA caused a more rapid decrease in ATP, release of cytochrome c, and activation of caspase-9 in C2AS cells. To determine whether ATP depletion decreases TER, we treated cells with antimycin A, which caused a decline in TER. We conclude that HSP72 may protect intestinal epithelial cells from TxA-mediated damage through several mechanisms, including actin stabilization, mitochondrial protection, and inhibition of apoptosis activation, but not by prevention of RhoA glucosylation.
