The synergistic action of hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1alpha and HNF-4 plays an important role in expression of the alpha(1)-antitrypsin (alpha(1)-AT) gene in human hepatic and intestinal epithelial cells. Recent studies have indicated that the alpha(1)-AT gene is also expressed in human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells, a potentially important local site of the lung antiprotease defense. In this study, we examined the possibility that alpha(1)-AT gene expression in a human pulmonary epithelial cell line H441 was also directed by the synergistic action of HNF-1alpha and HNF-4 and/or by the action of HNF-3, which has been shown to play a dominant role in gene expression in H441 cells. The results show that alpha(1)-AT gene expression in H441 cells is predominantly driven by HNF-1beta, even though HNF-1beta has no effect on alpha(1)-AT gene expression in human hepatic Hep G2 and human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cell lines. Expression of alpha(1)-AT and HNF-1beta was also demonstrated in primary cultures of human respiratory epithelial cells. HNF-4 has no effect on alpha(1)-AT gene expression in H441 cells, even when it is cotransfected with HNF-1beta or HNF-1alpha. HNF-3 by itself has little effect on alpha(1)-AT gene expression in H441, Hep G2, or Caco-2 cells but tends to have an upregulating effect when cotransfected with HNF-1 in Hep G2 and Caco-2 cells. These results indicate the unique involvement of HNF-1beta in alpha(1)-AT gene expression in a cell line and primary cultures derived from human respiratory epithelium. 相似文献

Dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPP-IV) is a well-documented drug target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Hepatocyte nuclear factors (HNF)-1alpha and HNF-1beta, known as the causal genes of MODY3 and MODY5, respectively, have been reported to be involved in regulation of DPP-IV gene expression. But, it is not completely clear (i) that they play roles in regulation of DPP-IV gene expression, and (ii) whether DPP-IV gene activity is changed by mutant HNF-1alpha and mutant HNF-1beta in MODY3 and MODY5. To explore these questions, we investigated transactivation effects of wild HNF-1alpha and 13 mutant HNF-1alpha, as well as wild HNF-1beta and 2 mutant HNF-1beta, on DPP-IV promoter luciferase gene in Caco-2 cells by means of a transient experiment. Both wild HNF-1alpha and wild HNF-1beta significantly transactivated DPP-IV promoter, but mutant HNF-1alpha and mutant HNF-1beta exhibited low transactivation activity. Moreover, to study whether mutant HNF-1alpha and mutant HNF-1beta change endogenous DPP-IV enzyme activity, we produced four stable cell lines from Caco-2 cells, in which wild HNF-1alpha or wild HNF-1beta, or else respective dominant-negative mutant HNF-1alphaT539fsdelC or dominant-negative mutant HNF-1betaR177X, was stably expressed. We found that DPP-IV gene expression and enzyme activity were significantly increased in wild HNF-1alpha cells and wild HNF-1beta cells, whereas they decreased in HNF-1alphaT539fsdelC cells and HNF-1betaR177X cells, compared with DPP-IV gene expression and enzyme activity in Caco-2 cells. These results suggest that both wild HNF-1alpha and wild HNF-1beta have a stimulatory effect on DPP-IV gene expression, but that mutant HNF-1alpha and mutant HNF-1beta attenuate the stimulatory effect. 相似文献

Our previous work indicates intestinal epithelial cell ERK activation by collagen IV, a major component of the intestinal epithelial basement membrane, requires focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and suggests FAK and ERK may have important roles in regulating intestinal epithelial cell migration. We therefore sought to identify FAK downstream targets regulating intestinal epithelial cell spreading, migration, and ERK activation on collagen IV and the integrins involved. Both dominant-negative Src and Src inhibitor PP2 strongly inhibited collagen IV ERK activation in Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells. Collagen IV stimulated Grb2 binding site FAK Y925 phosphorylation, which was inhibited by PP2 and required FAK Y397 autophosphorylation. Additionally, FAK Y925F expression blocked collagen IV ERK activation. alpha(1)beta(1)- Or alpha(2)beta(1)-integrin blockade with alpha(1)- or alpha(2)-integrin subunit antibodies indicated that either integrin can mediate adhesion, cell spreading, and FAK, Src, and ERK activation on collagen IV. Both dominant-negative Src and PP2 inhibited Caco-2 spreading on collagen IV. PP2 inhibited p130(Cas) tyrosine phosphorylation, but dominant-negative p130(Cas) did not inhibit cell spreading. PP2 inhibited Caco-2 migration on collagen IV much more strongly than the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor PD-98059, which completely inhibited collagen IV ERK activation. These results suggest a pathway for collagen IV ERK activation requiring Src phosphorylation of FAK Y925 not previously described for this matrix protein and suggest either alpha(1)beta(1)- or alpha(2)beta(1)-integrins can regulate Caco-2 spreading and ERK activation on collagen IV via Src. Additionally, these results suggest Src regulates Caco-2 migration on collagen IV primarily through ERK-independent pathways. 相似文献

Obesity is associated with increased serum endocannabinoid (EC) levels and decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc). Apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I), the primary protein component of HDL is expressed primarily in the liver and small intestine. To determine whether ECs regulate apo A-I gene expression directly, the effect of the obesity-associated ECs anandamide and 2-arachidonylglycerol on apo A-I gene expression was examined in the hepatocyte cell line HepG2 and the intestinal cell line Caco-2. Apo A-I protein secretion was suppressed nearly 50% by anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol in a dose-dependent manner in both cell lines. Anandamide treatment suppressed both apo A-I mRNA and apo A-I gene promoter activity in both cell lines. Studies using apo A-I promoter deletion constructs indicated that repression of apo A-I promoter activity by anandamide requires a previously identified nuclear receptor binding site designated as site A. Furthermore, anandamide-treatment inhibited protein-DNA complex formation with the site A probe. Exogenous over expression of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CBR1) in HepG2 cells suppressed apo A-I promoter activity, while in Caco-2 cells, exogenous expression of both CBR1 and CBR2 could repress apo A-I promoter activity. The suppressive effect of anandamide on apo A-I promoter activity in Hep G2 cells could be inhibited by CBR1 antagonist AM251 but not by AM630, a selective and potent CBR2 inhibitor. These results indicate that ECs directly suppress apo A-I gene expression in both hepatocytes and intestinal cells, contributing to the decrease in serum HDLc in obese individuals. 相似文献

Extracellular matrix regulation of intestinal epithelial differentiation may affect development, differentiation during migration to villus tips, healing, inflammatory bowel disease, and malignant transformation. Cell culture studies of intestinal epithelial biology may also depend on the matrix substrate used. We evaluated matrix effects on differentiation and proliferation in human intestinal Caco-2 epithelial cells, a model for intestinal epithelial differentiation. Proliferation, brush border enzyme specific activity, and spreading were compared in cells cultured on tissue culture plastic with interstitial collagen I and the basement membrane constituents collagen IV and laminin. Each matrix significantly increased alkaline phosphatase, dipeptidyl peptidase, lactase, sucrase-isomaltase, and cell spreading in comparison to plastic. However, the basement membrane proteins collagen IV and laminin further promoted all four brush border enzymes but inhibited spreading compared to collagen I. Proliferation was most rapid on type I collagen and slowest on laminin and tissue culture plastic. Basement membrane matrix proteins may promote intestinal epithelial differentiation and inhibit proliferation compared with interstitial collagen I. 相似文献
