Protein transport and processing by human HT29-19A intestinal cells: eVect of interferon ã
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background—The nature of the breakdown products produced in enterocytes during epithelial transport of intact proteins may be critical in determining the functional consequences of protein absorption. Aim—(a) To measure the transepithelial transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and to identify the nature of HRP breakdown products released on the basal side of enterocytes and (b) to assess the role of interferon ã (IFNã) on HRP transport and processing. Methods—HT29-19A intestinal cells were used to assess transepithelial transport of HRP in Ussing chambers, and the nature of breakdown products in the basal compartment was analysed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results—(1) In control conditions, [H]HRP equivalent fluxes (3135 (219) ng/h per cm; mean (SEM)) comprised 50% amino acids, 40% peptides, and 10% intact HRP. Steric exclusion HPLC of the breakdown products indicated a wide range of molecular masses including a major peptide of about 1150 Da. Lysosomal aspartyl and thiol proteases were expressed but no HLA-DR surface expression was noted. (2) At 48 to 72 hours after IFNã stimulation, [H]HRP equivalent fluxes increased significantly (7392 (1433) ng/h per cm) without modification of the relative proportions of amino acids, peptides, and intact HRP, and without modification of the distribution of breakdown products in HPLC. Lysosomal protease activities were not modified by IFNã but HLA-DR expression was increased. Conclusion—Intestinal cells are able to process HRP into peptides potentially capable of stimulating the immune system. IFNã stimulates the transport and processing of HRP thus increasing the antigenic load in the intestinal mucosa. (Gut 1998;42:538–545)

Background—Production of chemoattractant factors by the intestinal epithelium may contribute to mucosal infiltration by inflammatory cells in inflammatory bowel disease. Secretion of the á chemokine interleukin 8 (IL-8), a neutrophil chemoattractant, has been widely studied, but little is known about epithelial secretion of â chemokines, which are preferentially involved in recruiting monocytes...
متن کاملGenistein Induces Apoptosis and Inhibits Proliferation of HT29 Colon Cancer Cells
Soybean isoflavone genistein has multiple anticancer properties and its pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects have been studied in different cancer cells. However, the mechanisms of action of genistein and its molecular targets on human colon cells have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, caspase-3 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) as the main therapeutic targets...

Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, Human guts harbor abundant microbes that adjust many aspects of host physiology. Increasing studies show that gut microbiota plays a significant role in the incidence and expansion of CRC, as a result of virulence factors, bacterial metabolites, or inflammatory pathways. Materials and Methods: In this study, viability o...
متن کامل5-Aminosalicylic acid inhibits the impaired epithelial barrier function induced by gamma interferon.
Gamma interferon (IFN gamma) impairs epithelial barrier function and induces HLA-DR expression on colonic cancer cell lines. Salicylates have been shown to reduce IFN gamma induced HLA-DR expression. The effect of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) on IFN gamma induced changes in transepithelial resistance and permeability was investigated in HT29 clone 19A and Caco 2 monolayers. Monolayers were inc...

Epidemiological findings have indicated that red meat increases the likelihood of colorectal cancer. Aim of this study was to investigate whether hemoglobin, or its prosthetic group heme, in red meat, is a genotoxic risk factor for cancer. Human colon tumor cells (HT29 clone 19A) and primary colonocytes were incubated with hemoglobin/hemin and DNA damage was investigated using the comet assay. ...
