Intestinal enzymes activities in isolated villus and crypt cells during postnatal development of the rat 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Summary A modification of Weiser's (1973) cell isolation method was used in order to study the developmental pattern of various intestinal enzyme activities in villus and crypt cells of normal rats from 5 days after birth until 8 weeks. Alkaline phosphatase and enterokinase activities were always located in the upper villus zone during postnatal development. Enterokinase activity was higher in the upper villus cells during the third week of life than after this period. Aminopeptidase activity was located in the crypt cells during the first week, its maximum activity remained in this area until the third week. At this time, sucrase activity appeared in the crypt cells, then aminopeptidase and sucrase activities rose to the villus zone during the fourth week. Amylase activity was detected along the entire crypt-villus axis 5 days after birth, reaching maximum activity in crypt cells at the end of the first week and in the upper villus cells after the fourth week. In contrast with the other enzymes studied almost all amylase activity was soluble in the youngest animals whereas at weaning most of the activity appeared in a particulate form in the villus cells. But in the crypt cells the ratio between particulate and soluble form remained unchanged until the adult stage. Various hypotheses are advanced to explain the patterns of evolution of the different enzymes. 相似文献

Abstract. The development of peroxisomes and expression of their enzymes were investigated in differentiating intestinal epithelial cells during their migration along the crypt-villus axis. Sequential cell populations harvested by a low-temperature method were identified by microscopy, determination of alkaline phosphatase and sucrase activities and incorporation of [3 H]-thymidine into DNA. Ultrastructural cytochemistry after staining for catalase activity, revealed the presence of peroxisomes in undifferentiated stem cells located in the crypt region. Morphometry indicated that the number of these organelles increased as intestinal epithelial cells differentiate. Catalase activity was higher in the crypt cells than in the mature enterocytes harvested from villus tips. On the other hand, an increasing gradient of activity was observed from crypts to villus tips for peroxisomal oxidases, i.e. fatty acyl coA oxidase, D-amino acid oxidase and polyamine oxidase. These findings indicate that biogenesis of peroxisomes occurs during migration of intestinal epithelial cells along the crypt-villus axis and that peroxisomal oxidases contribute substantially to the biochemical maturation of enterocytes. 相似文献

Gut apical Na(+)-glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) activity is high at the birth and during suckling, thus contributing substantially to neonatal glucose homeostasis. We hypothesize that neonates possess high SGLT1 maximal activity by expressing apical SGLT1 protein along the intestinal crypt-villus axis via unique control mechanisms. Kinetics of SGLT1 activity in apical membrane vesicles, prepared from epithelial cells sequentially isolated along the jejunal crypt-villus axis from neonatal piglets by the distended intestinal sac method, were measured. High levels of maximal SGLT1 uptake activity were shown to exist along the jejunal crypt-villus axis in the piglets. Real-time RT-PCR analyses showed that SGLT1 mRNA abundance was lower (P < 0.05) by 30-35% in crypt cells than in villus cells. There were no significant differences in SGLT1 protein abundances on the jejunal apical membrane among upper villus, middle villus, and crypt cells, consistent with the immunohistochemical staining pattern. Higher abundances (P < 0.05) of total eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) protein and eIE4E-binding protein 1 γ-isoform in contrast to a lower (P < 0.05) abundance of phosphorylated (Pi) eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) protein and the eEF2-Pi to total eEF2 abundance ratio suggest higher global protein translational efficiency in the crypt cells than in the upper villus cells. In conclusion, neonates have high intestinal apical SGLT1 uptake activity by abundantly expressing SGLT1 protein in the epithelia and on the apical membrane along the entire crypt-villus axis in association with enhanced protein translational control mechanisms in the crypt cells. 相似文献

Intestinal epithelium undergoes a rapid self-renewal process characterized by the proliferation of the crypt cells, their differentiation into mature enterocytes as they migrate up to the villi, followed by their shedding as they become senescent villus enterocytes. The exact mechanism that regulates the intestinal epithelium renewal process is not well understood, but the differential expression of regulatory genes along the crypt-villus axis may have a role. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is involved in endothelial cell cycle progression, but its role in the intestinal epithelial cell turnover has not been explored. With its effects on cell proliferation and its differential expression along the crypt-villus axis, HO-1 may play a role in the intestinal epithelial cell renewal process. In this study, we examined the role of HO-1 in the proliferation and differentiation of Caco-2 cells, a well-established in vitro model for human enterocytes. After confluence, Caco-2 cells undergo spontaneous differentiation and mimic the crypt to villus maturation observed in vivo. In preconfluent and confluent Caco-2 cells, HO-1 protein expression was determined with the immunoblot. HO-1 activity was determined by the ability of the enzyme to generate bilirubin from hemin. The effect of a HO-1 enzyme activity inhibitor, tin protoporphyrin (SnPP), on Caco-2 cell proliferation and differentiation was examined. In preconfluent cells, cell number was determined periodically as a marker of proliferation. Cell viability was measured with MTT assay. Cell differentiation was assessed by the expression of a brush border enzyme, alkaline phophatase (ALP). HO-1 was expressed in subconfluent Caco-2 cells and remained detectable until 2 days postconfluency. This timing was consistent with cells starting their differentiation and taking the features of normal intestinal epithelial cells. HO-1 was inducible in confluent Caco-2 cells by the enzyme substrate, hemin in a dose- and time-dependent manner. SnPP decreased the cell number and viability of preconfluent cells and delayed the ALP enzyme activity of confluent cells. HO-1 may be involved in intestinal cell cycle progression. 相似文献

The effect of chloroquine on the biosynthesis of pig intestinal aminopeptidase N (EC 3.4.11.2) was studied by labelling with [35S]methionine in organ cultured mucosal explants. The lysosomotropic agent did not alter the molecular size of either the transient or the mature form of the enzyme and did not markedly influence the relative intracellular distribution of the two forms. The microvillar expression of aminopeptidase N during labelling periods of 80-120 min was found to be unaffected by chloroquine. Together these data indicate that pH neutralization of the acidic compartments of the cell bears no consequence on the intracellular transport of the newly synthesized microvillar enzyme. This suggests that the acidic compartments are not involved in the post-Golgi transport and that this, in turn, probably occurs via a constitutive rather than a regulated pathway. 相似文献

Evidence for biosynthesis of lactase-phlorizin hydrolase as a single-chain high-molecular weight precursor 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Precursor forms of lactase-phlorizin hydrolase, sucrase-isomaltase and aminopeptidase N were studied by pulse-labelling of organ-cultured human intestinal biopsies. After labelling the biopsies were fractionated by the Ca2+-precipitation method and the enzymes isolated by immunoprecipitation. The results indicate that the lactase-phlorizin hydrolase is synthesized as a Mr 245 000 polypeptide, which is intracellularly cleaved into its mature Mr 160 000 form. Sucrase-isomaltase is shown to be synthesized as a single chain precursor (Mr 245 000 and 265 000) while the precursor of aminopeptidase N is shown to be of apparently the same size as the mature enzyme (Mr 140 000 and 160 000). 相似文献

Alkaline phosphatase (IAP) is a marker of intestinal microvillus membrane. Changes in IAP activity have been studied as a function of Giardia lamblia (G. lamblia) infection using rat as the experimental model. At day 11 and 15 post-infection, enzyme activity was reduced (p<0.01) compared to controls. The enzyme levels were essentially similar to control values by day 30 post-infection. Analysis of the enzyme activity in cell fractions across crypt-villus axis revealed a marked decrease in enzyme activity in the villus tip and mid villus regions but a considerable increase (p<0.01) in enzyme activity in the crypt base of 11 day post-infected animals compared to that in controls. The observed changes in IAP activity were confirmed by assaying the enzyme activity in acrylamide gels using bromo-chloro-indolyl phosphate staining under non-denaturing conditions. These findings indicate differential changes across the crypt-villus axis, but impaired alkaline phosphatase levels in G. lamblia infected rat intestine. 相似文献

Although intestinal (I) and liver (L) fatty acid binding proteins (FABP) have been widely studied, the physiological significance
of the presence of the two FABP forms (I- and L-FABP) in absorptive cells remains unknown as do the differences related to
their distribution along the crypt-villus axis, regional expression, ontogeny and regulation in the human intestine. Our morphological
experiments supported the expression of I- and L-FABP as early as 13 weeks of gestation. Whereas cytoplasmic immunofluorescence
staining of L-FABP was barely detectable in the lower half of the villus and in the crypt epithelial cells, I-FABP was visualized
in epithelial cells of the crypt-villus axis in all intestinal segments until the adult period in which the staining was maximized
in the upper part of the villus. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed more intense labeling of L-FABP compared with I-FABP,
accompanied with a heterogeneous distribution in the cytoplasm, microvilli and basolateral membranes. By western blot analysis,
I- and L-FABP at 15 weeks of gestation appeared predominant in jejunum compared with duodenum, ileum, proximal and distal
colon. Exploration of the maturation aspect documented a rise in L-FABP in adult tissues. Permanent transfections of Caco-2
cells with I-FABP cDNA resulted in decreased lipid export, apolipoprotein (apo) biogenesis and chylomicron secretion. Additionally,
supplementation of Caco-2 with insulin, hydrocortisone and epidermal growth factor differentially modulated the expression
of I- and L-FABP, apo B-48 and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP), emphasizing that these key proteins do not
exhibit a parallel modulation. Overall, our findings indicate that the two FABPs display differences in localization, regulation
and developmental pattern. 相似文献

The epithelium of the small intestine is composed of a single layer of cells that line two functionally distinct compartments, the villi that project into the lumen of the gut and the crypts that descend into the underlying connective tissue. Stem cells are located in crypts, where they divide and give rise to transit-amplifying cells that differentiate into secretory and absorptive epithelial cells. Most differentiated cells travel upwards from the crypt towards the villus tip, where they shed into the lumen. While some of these cell behaviors are an intrinsic property of the epithelium, it is becoming evident that tight coordination between the epithelium and the underlying fibroblasts plays a critical role in tissue morphogenesis, stem-cell niche maintenance and regionalized gene expression along the crypt-villus axis. Here, we will review the current literature describing the interaction between epithelium and fibroblasts during crypt-villus axis development and intestinal epithelium renewal during homeostasis. 相似文献

The migration of intestinal epithelial cells from the crypts to the tips of villi is associated with progressive cell differentiation. The changes in Ca2+-ATPase activity and ATP-dependent Ca2+-transport rates in basolateral membranes from rat duodenum were measured during migration along the crypt-villus axis. In addition, vitamin D-dependent calcium-binding protein and calmodulin content were measured in homogenates of six cell populations which were sequentially derived from villus tip to crypt base. Alkaline phosphatase activity was highest at the tip of the villus (fraction I) and decreased more than 20-fold towards the crypt base (fraction VI). (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity also decreased along the villus-crypt axis but in a less pronounced manner than alkaline phosphatase. ATP-dependent Ca2+-transport in basolateral membranes was highest in fraction II (8.2 +/- 0.3 nmol Ca2+/min per mg protein) and decreased slightly towards the villus tip and base (fraction V). The youngest cells in the crypt had the lowest Ca2+-transport activity (0.9 +/- 0.1 nmol Ca2+/min per mg protein). The distribution of high-affinity Ca2+-ATPase activity in basolateral membranes correlated with the distribution of ATP-dependent Ca2+-transport. The activity of Na+/Ca2+ exchange was equal in villus and crypt basolateral membranes. Compared to the ATP-dependent Ca2+-transport system, the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger is of minor importance in villus cells but may play a more significant role in crypt cells. Calcium-binding protein decreased from mid-villus towards the villus base and was undetectable in crypt cells. Calmodulin levels were equal along the villus-crypt axis. It is concluded that vitamin D-dependent calcium absorption takes primarily place in villus cells of rat duodenum. 相似文献

The location of cell proliferation and differentiation in chicken small intestinal epithelium was examined using immunostaining,
measurement of DNA synthesis and brush-border enzyme activities. Chicken enterocytes were removed sequentially from the villus
using a modification of the Weiser (1973) method. Alkaline phosphatase activity was relatively constant along the villus tip-crypt
axis but decreased in the crypt fractions, whereas sucrase and maltase activities showed higher activity in the upper half
of the villus and lower activity in the lower half of the villus and in the crypt. Immunostaining of proliferating cell nuclear
antigen indicated the presence of proliferating cells both in the crypt and along the villus, including some activity in the
upper portion; the crypt region exhibited a significantly higher number of proliferating cells. Labelled thymidine incorporation
into cell fractions after 2 h incubation exhibited a similar pattern of proliferation, with the most active region observed
in the crypt and proliferation activity decreasing along the villus. However, some activity was found in the upper half of
the villus. After 17 h incubation, cells from the middle region of the villi showed greater proliferation ability than the
2 h incubation. These results indicate that, unlike mammals, chicken enterocyte proliferation is not localized only in the
crypt region, and that the site of enterocyte differentiation is not precisely localized.

Pieces of small intestine taken from rabbit, rat, mouse, guinea-pig, hamster and pig have been used to determine microvillus length in enterocytes located at different points along the crypt-villus axis. Thymidine labelling has also been used to convert measurements of enterocyte position into age of enterocyte. Microvillus lengths showed lower and upper plateaux (a and a + c respectively) with fairly rapid transition from one to the other defined by an exponential coefficient b. The mid-point of elongation (m) usually occurred within 60 micron of the crypt-villus junction. Correlations were found to exist between a and m and between a, m and the depth of the intestinal crypt. Values of b and bc/4, the maximal rate of microvillus elongation, were also found to be correlated with the size of the crypt. None of these parameters were related in any way to the villus height or enterocyte turnover time. The possibility that some factor associated with the physical size of the crypt might be exerting positional and temporal control over the subsequent structural differentiation of enterocytes is discussed. 相似文献
