چکیده

Repetitive strain stimulates intestinal epithelial migration across fibronectin via focal adhesion kinase (FAK), Src, and extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) although how these signals act and interact remains unclear. We hypothesized that PI3K is central to this pathway. We subjected Caco-2 and intestinal epithelial cell-6 cells to 10 cycles/min deformation on flexible fibronectin-coated membranes, assayed migration by wound closure, and signaling by immunoblots. Strain stimulated PI3K, AKT, glycogen synthase kinase (GSK), and p38 phosphorylation. Blocking each kinase prevented strain stimulation of migration. Blocking PI3K prevented strain-stimulated ERK and p38 phosphorylation. Blocking AKT did not. Downstream, blocking PI3K, AKT, or ERK inhibited strain-induced GSK-Ser9 phosphorylation. Upstream of AKT, reducing FAK or Rac1 by siRNA blocked strain-stimulated AKT phosphorylation, but inhibiting Src by PP2 or siRNA did not. Transfection with FAK point mutants at Tyr397, Tyr576/577, or Tyr925 demonstrated that only FAK925 phosphorylation is required for strain-stimulated AKT phosphorylation. Myosin light chain activation by strain required FAK, Rac1, PI3K, AKT, GSK, and ERK but not Src or p38. Finally, blebbistatin, a nonmuscle myosin II inhibitor, blocked the motogenic effect of strain downstream of myosin light chain. Thus strain stimulates intestinal epithelial migration across fibronectin by a complex pathway including Src, FAK, Rac1, PI3K, AKT, GSK, ERK, p38, myosin light chain, and myosin II.

Repetitive deformation activates Src-independent FAK-dependent ERK motogenic signals in human Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells.

Repetitive deformation due to villous motility or peristalsis may support the intestinal mucosa, stimulating intestinal epithelial proliferation under normal circumstances and restitution in injured and inflamed mucosa rich in tissue fibronectin. Cyclic strain enhances Caco-2 and IEC-6 intestinal epithelial cell migration across fibronectin via ERK. However, the upstream mediators of ERK activa...

ILK mediates the effects of strain on intestinal epithelial wound closure.

The intestinal epithelium is subjected to repetitive deformation during normal gut function by peristalsis and villous motility. Such repetitive strain promotes intestinal epithelial migration across fibronectin in vitro, but signaling mediators for this are poorly understood. We hypothesized that integrin-linked kinase (ILK) mediates strain-stimulated migration in intestinal epithelial cells c...

Influence of defunctionalization and mechanical forces on intestinal epithelial wound healing.

The influence on mucosal healing of luminal nutrient flow and the forces it creates are poorly understood. We hypothesized that altered deformation and extracellular pressure mediate, in part, the effects of defunctionalization on mucosal healing. We created patent or partially obstructing defunctionalizing jejunal Roux-en-Y anastomoses in rats to investigate mucosal healing in the absence or p...

Strain induces Caco-2 intestinal epithelial proliferation and differentiation via PKC and tyrosine kinase signals.

Although the intestinal epithelium undergoes complex deformations during normal function, nutrient absorption, fasting, lactation, and disease, the effects of deformation on intestinal mucosal biology are poorly understood. We previously demonstrated that 24 h of cyclic deformation at an average 10% deformation every 6 s stimulates proliferation and modulates brush-border enzyme activity in hum...

Epidermal growth factor stimulates integrin-mediated cell migration of cultured human corneal epithelial cells on fibronectin and arginine-glycine-aspartic acid peptide.

PURPOSE The aim of this work was to show epidermal growth factor (EGF)-dependent migration of human corneal epithelial cells to fibronectin and GRGDSP peptide. The authors assessed the role of cell surface integrin heterodimer alpha 5 beta 1 in mediating haptotactic cell migration to fibronectin by the use of specific function-blocking integrin antibodies. METHODS A haptotactic cell migration...
