Upregulation of Intestinal NaPi-IIb Co-Transporter Gene Expression by Neuropeptide Y in Human Intestinal Caco-2 Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of the present study is to examine the effect of neuropeptide Y and estrogen on type IIb sodiumcoupled phosphate co-transporter (NaPi-IIb) gene expression and activity. Uptake studies with human intestinal cell line, Caco-2 cells, showed that treatment with neuropeptide Y and estrogen concentration-dependently increased sodiumdependent phosphate absorption. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis indicated that expression of NaPi-IIb mRNA was also increased after Y treatment with neuropeptide and estrogen. These studies show for the first time that neuropeptide Y increased intestinal sodium-dependent phosphate absorption. This increase is associated with the increase of the expression of NaPi-IIb mRNA.

Regulation of intestinal NaPi-IIb cotransporter gene expression by estrogen.
The current experiments were designed to study the effect of beta-estradiol on type IIb sodium-coupled phosphate (NaPi-IIb) cotransporter gene expression. Uptake studies with intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) showed that estrogen treatment increased sodium-dependent phosphate absorption by approximately 45% in rat intestine. Northern blot analysis indicated that NaPi-IIb mRNA exp...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor-alpha impairs intestinal phosphate absorption in colitis.
Phosphate homeostasis is critical for many physiological functions. Up to 85% of phosphate is stored in bone and teeth. The remaining 15% is distributed in cells. Phosphate absorption across the brush-border membrane (BBM) of enterocytes occurs mainly via a sodium-dependent pathway, which is mediated by type IIb sodium-phosphate cotransporters (NaPi-IIb). Patients of inflammatory bowel diseases...
متن کاملUp-Regulation of Intestinal Phosphate Transporter NaPi-IIb (SLC34A2) by the Kinases SPAK and OSR1.
BACKGROUND/AIMS SPAK (SPS1-related proline/alanine-rich kinase) and OSR1 (oxidative stress-responsive kinase 1), kinases controlled by WNK (with-no-K[Lys] kinase), are powerful regulators of cellular ion transport and blood pressure. Observations in gene-targeted mice disclosed an impact of SPAK/OSR1 on phosphate metabolism. The present study thus tested whether SPAK and/or OSR1 contributes to ...
متن کاملAge-Dependent Regulation of Rat Intestinal Sodium-Phosphate Cotransporter (NaPi-IIb) by 1,25-(OH)2 Vitamin D3
The current studies were designed to characterize type IIb sodium-phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-IIb) expression and to assess the effect of 1,25-(OH)2 vitamin D3 (vit-D3) on NaPi-IIb gene expression during rat ontogeny. Sodium-dependent Pi absorption by intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) decreases with age, and NaPi-IIb gene expression also decreases proportionally with age. Vit-D...
متن کاملNF1 transcriptional factor(s) is required for basal promoter activation of the human intestinal NaPi-IIb cotransporter gene.
The human intestinal type IIb Na+-P(i) cotransporter (hNaPi-IIb) gene promoter lacks a TATA box and has a high GC content in the 5'-flanking region. To understand the mechanism of hNaPi-IIb gene transcription, the current study was performed to characterize the minimal promoter region and transcriptional factor(s) necessary to activate gene expression in human intestinal cells (Caco-2). With th...
