Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease01:30

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

1.5K
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:12

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.6K
Notch signaling was first discovered in Drosophila melanogaster, where it is involved in cell lineage differentiation. Notch signaling regulates the maintenance and differentiation of intestinal stem cells or ISCs by controlling the expression of atonal homolog 1 or Atoh1. Atoh1 directs cells to differentiate into secretory cells.
Direct cell-to-cell contact is needed for the activation of Notch signaling. The signal is initiated when a notch ligand binds to a receptor on an adjacent cell, also...

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells01:23

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells

3.6K
The intestinal epithelial lining rapidly renews every 4 to 5 days. The renewal is facilitated by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) located at the base of the crypt– a gland located at the bottom of each villus. ISCs divide asymmetrically to form new stem cells and progenitor daughter cells. The daughter cells are called transit-amplifying (TA) cells which move upwards along the crypt and either differentiate into absorptive cells– the enterocytes or secretory cells– including the...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF01:24

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF

749
Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), a proinflammatory cytokine, contributes significantly to the inflammation seen in Crohn's disease. It exists as soluble TNF and membrane-bound TNF, with actions mediated through TNF receptors (TNFR). TNFR activation leads to the release of proinflammatory cytokines, T-cell activation, collagen production, and leukocyte migration, all contributing to inflammation in Crohn's disease. Anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies, namely infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab...

Summary

Genetic depletion of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in intestinal cells increases inflammatory responses, particularly IL-8 secretion. This suggests CFTR plays a crucial role beyond chloride transport in regulating gut inflammation.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Cell Biology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by airway hyperinflammation, but systemic and extrapulmonary inflammation, including in the gut, is also observed.
  • The precise role of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in CF-related inflammation, particularly in the intestine, remains unclear.
  • This study investigates how genetic CFTR depletion impacts inflammatory status in human intestinal epithelial cells.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the effect of genetic CFTR depletion on intestinal epithelial cell inflammatory responses.
  • To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying CFTR's role in regulating intestinal inflammation.
  • To provide in vitro and in vivo evidence for CFTR's function in intestinal inflammatory pathways.

Main Methods:

  • Genetic depletion of CFTR in Caco-2/15 and HT-29 cells using short hairpin RNA interference (shRNAi).
  • Induction of inflammation using tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or Interleukin-1β (IL-1β).
  • Assessment of gene expression, mRNA stability, cytokine secretion (IL-6, IL-8, IL-10), and signaling pathways (MAPK, NF-κB).
  • Eosinophil counting in the jejunal mucosa of Cftr-/- and Cftr+/+ mice.

Main Results:

  • CFTR knockdown significantly increased basal IL-8 secretion and IL-1β-induced IL-6 and IL-8 secretion.
  • Enhanced IL-8 release was linked to increased IL8 mRNA levels and greater activation of ERK1/2 MAPK, IκBα, and NF-κB pathways.
  • No significant changes were observed in IL-10 secretion or p38/JNK MAPK phosphorylation.
  • Increased eosinophil infiltration was noted in the jejunal mucosa of Cftr-/- female mice.

Conclusions:

  • CFTR plays a significant role in regulating intestinal inflammatory responses.
  • CFTR's function extends beyond chloride channel activity, influencing cellular responses to inflammatory challenges.
  • These findings are relevant to CF patients with altered gut microbiota, potentially leading to exaggerated inflammatory responses.
