Interferon-gamma inhibits enterocyte migration by reversibly displacing connexin43 from lipid rafts.
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is associated with the release of interferon-gamma (IFN) by enterocytes and delayed intestinal restitution. Our laboratory has recently demonstrated that IFN inhibits enterocyte migration by impairing enterocyte gap junctions, intercellular channels that are composed of connexin43 (Cx43) monomers and that are required for enterocyte migration to occur. The mechan...
متن کاملActivated macrophages inhibit enterocyte gap junctions via the release of nitric oxide.
Enterocytes exist in close association with tissue macrophages, whose activation during inflammatory processes leads to the release of nitric oxide (NO). Repair from mucosal injury requires the migration of enterocytes into the mucosal defect, a process that requires connexin43 (Cx43)-mediated gap junction communication between adjacent enterocytes. Enterocyte migration is inhibited during infl...
متن کاملDocosahexaenoic Acid Changes Lipid Composition and IL-2 Receptor Signaling in Membrane Rafts Running Title: DHA changes Rafts
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6 n-3) modulate immune responses and exert beneficial immunosuppressive effects, but the molecular mechanisms inhibiting T cell activation are not yet elucidated. Lipid rafts have been shown to play an important role in the compartmentalization and modulation of cell signaling. We investigate the role of DHA in modulati...

متن کاملAnti-glycosyl antibodies in lipid rafts of the enterocyte brush border: a possible host defense against pathogens.
The pig small intestinal brush border is a glycoprotein- and glycolipid-rich membrane that functions as a digestive/absorptive surface for dietary nutrients as well as a permeability barrier for pathogens. The present work was performed to identify carbohydrate-binding (lectinlike) proteins associated with the brush border. Chromatography on lactose-agarose was used to isolate such proteins, an...
