Luminal nutrition is important for the maintenance of small intestinal structure and function. The equilibrium between crypt cell production and villous cell loss in the mucosal epithelium of the small intestine is altered under certain conditions such as after a small bowel resection. Immediately after resection, there is a marked increase in crypt cell proliferation giving rise to an adaptive hyperplasia in the remnant intestine and for this response luminal nutrition is a critical factor. We have previously demonstrated the presence of a growth-stimulating (GS) activity in a heat-stable acidic extract of the rat proximal intestine 24, 48, and 96 h after resection, which is coincidental with an increase in crypt cell proliferation as measured by thymidine kinase activity. Eight days after resection when the GS activity is no longer detectable, the thymidine kinase activity returns to control values. The molecular weights of the peptides associated with this GS activity are 4500 and 1500, as determined by Sephadex gel filtration. Of note is that the oral intake of food is necessary for the appearance of the GS activity postoperatively. The presence of the GS activity has also been demonstrated upon refeeding after a fast, as well as at weaning in the rat, two physiological situations known to be associated with increased proliferation in the small intestine. This GS activity in the proximal intestine first detected in the resection model may represent a general mechanism by which food controls the cell renewal pattern of the small intestine.Key words: stimulating activity, proximal intestine, adaptation.
