Abstract
Bicarbonate is one of the major anions in mammalian tissues and fluids, is utilized by various exchangers to transport other ions and organic substrates across cell membranes and plays a critical role in cell and systemic pH homoeostasis. Chloride/bicarbonate (Cl−/HCO3−) exchangers are abundantly expressed in erythrocytes and epithelial cells and, as a consequence, are particularly exposed to oxidants in the systemic circulation and at the interface with the external environment. Here, we review the physiological functions and pathophysiological alterations of Cl−/HCO3− exchangers belonging to the solute carriers SLC4 and SLC26 superfamilies in relation to oxidative stress. Particularly well studied is the impact of oxidative stress on the red blood cell SLC4A1/AE1 (Band 3 protein), of which the function seems to be directly affected by oxidative stress and possibly involves oxidation of the transporter itself or its interacting proteins, with detrimental consequences in oxidative stress‐related diseases including inflammation, metabolic dysfunctions and ageing. The effect of oxidative stress on SLC26 members was less extensively explored. Indirect evidence suggests that SLC26 transporters can be target as well as determinants of oxidative stress, especially when their expression is abolished or dysregulated.

Fyn Kinase-Mediated PKCδ Y311 Phosphorylation Induces Dopaminergic Degeneration in Cell Culture and Animal Models: Implications for the Identification of a New Pharmacological Target for Parkinson's Disease. Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:631375.

Abstract
Oxidative stress, neuroinflammation and apoptosis are some of the key etiological factors responsible for dopamin(DA)ergic degeneration during Parkinson's disease (PD), yet the downstream molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration are largely unknown. Recently, a genome-wide association study revealed the FYN gene to be associated with PD, suggesting that Fyn kinase could be a pharmacological target for PD. In this study, we report that Fyn-mediated PKCδ tyrosine (Y311) phosphorylation is a key event preceding its proteolytic activation in a 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) model of Parkinsonism. MPP+/MPTP induced Fyn kinase activation in N27 DAergic neuronal cells and the mouse substantia nigra. PKCδ-Y311 phosphorylation by activated Fyn initiates the apoptotic caspase-signaling cascade during DAergic degeneration. Pharmacological attenuation of Fyn activity protected DAergic neurons from MPP+-induced degeneration in primary mesencephalic neuronal cultures. We further employed Fyn wild-type and Fyn knockout (KO) mice to confirm whether Fyn is a valid pharmacological target of DAergic neurodegeneration. Primary mesencephalic neurons from Fyn KO mice were greatly protected from MPP+-induced DAergic cell death, neurite loss and DA reuptake loss. Furthermore, Fyn KO mice were significantly protected from MPTP-induced PKCδ-Y311 phosphorylation, behavioral deficits and nigral DAergic degeneration. This study thus unveils a mechanism by which Fyn regulates PKCδ's pro-apoptotic function and DAergic degeneration. Pharmacological inhibitors directed at Fyn activation could prove to be a novel therapeutic target in the delay or halting of selective DAergic degeneration during PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Dopamine protects the duodenal mucosa. Here we have investigated the source of dopamine in gastric juice and the mechanism underlying the effects of luminal dopamine on duodenal bicarbonate secretion (DBS) in rodents. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Immunofluorescence, UPLC-MS/MS, gastric incubation and perfusion were used to detect gastric-derived dopamine. Immunofluorescence and RT-PCR were used to examine the expression of dopamine receptors in the duodenal mucosa. Real-time pH titration and pHi measurement were performed to investigate DBS. KEY RESULTS H+ -K+ -ATPase was co-localized with tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine transporters in gastric parietal cells. Dopamine was increased in in vivo gastric perfusate after intravenous infusion of histamine and in gastric mucosa incubated, in vitro, with bethanechol chloride or tyrosine. D2 receptors were the most abundant dopamine receptors in rat duodenum, mainly distributed on the apical membrane of epithelial cells. Luminal dopamine increased DBS in a concentration-dependent manner, an effect mimicked by a D2 receptor agonist quinpirole and inhibited by the D2 receptor antagonist L741,626, in vivo D2 receptor siRNA and in D2 receptor -/- mice. Dopamine and quinpirole raised the duodenal enterocyte pHi . Quinpirole-evoked DBS and PI3K/Akt activity were inhibited by calcium chelator BAPTA-AM or in D2 receptor-/- mice. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Dopamine in the gastric juice is derived from parietal cells and is secreted along with gastric acid. On arrival in the duodenal lumen, dopamine increased DBS via an apical D2 receptor- and calcium-dependent pathway. Our data provide novel insights into the protective effects of dopamine on the duodenal mucosa.

Abstract
GSTpi is a Phase II metabolic enzyme which is originally considered as an important facilitator of cellular detoxification. Here, we found that GSTpi stabilized VE-cadherin in endothelial cell membrane through inhibiting VE-cadherin phosphorylation and VE-cadherin/catenin complex dissociation, and consequently maintained endothelial barrier function. Our findings demonstrated a novel mechanism that GSTpi inhibited VE-cadherin phosphorylation through suppressing the activation of Src/VE-cadherin pathway. Mass spectrometry analysis and molecular docking showed that GSTpi enhanced Src S-glutathionylation at Cys185, Cys245, and Cys400 of Src. More important, we found that GSTpi promoted S-glutathionylation of Src was essential for GSTpi to inhibit Src phosphorylation and activation. Furthermore, in vivo experiments indicated that AAV-GSTpi exerted the protective effect on pulmonary vessel permeability in the animal model of acute lung injury. This study revealed a novel regulatory effect of GSTpi on vascular endothelial barrier function and the importance of S-glutathionylation of Src induced by GSTpi in the activation of Src/VE-cadherin pathway. GSTpi regulates endothelial barrier function in response to pro-inflammatory stress. GSTpi inhibits the destabilization of membrane VE-cadherin through suppressing the activation of Src/VE-cadherin pathway. GSTpi selectively inhibits Src phosphorylation by S-glutathionylating novel cysteines of Src. GSTpi exerts the protective effect on pulmonary vessel permeability in the animal model of acute lung injury.

Abstract
Trauma remains a tremendous medical burden partly because of increased expenditure for the management of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) developed during hospital stay. The intestinal barrier injury continues to be a second insult resulting in MODS which currently lacks efficient strategies for prevention. Recent studies have uncovered multi-organ protective benefits of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in cardiovascular disease. However, the role of ANP in the prevention of MODS following severe trauma has not been understood. In our laboratory study, 1-h infusion of exogenous ANP during hemorrhagic shock following severe trauma induced high-level expression of endogenous serum ANP after 24 h, this effect was related to the improved level of functional biomarkers in multiple organs. Such phenomenon has not been found in other laboratories. A thorough literature review consequently was performed to uncover the potential mechanisms, to appraise therapy safety, and to propose uncertainties. In severe trauma, short-term exogenous ANP therapy during hemorrhagic shock may promote sustained endogenous expression of ANP from intestinal epithelium through activating a positive feedback loop mechanism involving phospholipase C-γ1 and reactive oxygen species crosstalk. This feedback loop may prevent MODS through multiple signaling pathways. Administration of ANP during hemorrhagic shock is thought to be safe. Further studies are required to confirm our proposed mechanisms and to investigate the dose, duration, and timing of ANP therapy in severe trauma.

Abstract
AIMS Altered redox state has been related to the development of normal pregnancy (NP) and preeclampsia (PE). Endothelial KCa2.3 and KCa3.1 (KCas) play an important role in vasodilation, and KCas levels are affected by oxidative stress. We investigated the mechanisms of oxidative stress-mediated KCas expression modulation during NP and PE. RESULTS Human uterine microvascular endothelial cells were incubated in serum from normal nonpregnant women (n = 13) and women with NP (n = 24) or PE (n = 15), or in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), progesterone, or estradiol-17β (E2)-containing medium for 24 h. NP serum elevated H2O2 levels via reducing catalase and glutathione peroxidase 1 levels, thereby enhancing KCas levels via a H2O2/fyn/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-mediated pathway. VEGF enhanced H2O2 and KCas levels and KCa3.1 currents. KCas were upregulated and KCas activation-induced endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR) was augmented in vessels from pregnant mice and rats. Whereas PE serum, ox-LDL, progesterone, or soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) elevated superoxide levels via elevating NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) and NOX4 levels and reducing superoxide dismutase (SOD) 1 levels, thereby downregulating KCas. sFlt-1 inhibited EDR. PE serum- or progesterone-induced alterations in levels of KCas were reversed by polyethylene glycol-SOD, NOX inhibition, or E2. Innovation and Conclusions: This is the first study of how endothelial KCas levels are modulated during NP and PE. KCas were upregulated by soluble serum factors such as VEGF via H2O2 generation in NP, and were downregulated by serum factors such as progesterone and ox-LDL via superoxide generation in PE, which may contribute to hemodynamic adaptations in NP or to the development of PE.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases broadly categorized into Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are chronic inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract with increasing prevalence worldwide. The etiology of the disease is complex and involves a combination of genetic, environmental, immunological and gut microbial factors. Recurring and bloody diarrhea is the most prevalent and debilitating symptom in IBD. The pathogenesis of IBD-associated diarrhea is multifactorial and is essentially an outcome of mucosal damage caused by persistent inflammation resulting in dysregulated intestinal ion transport, impaired epithelial barrier function and increased accessibility of the pathogens to the intestinal mucosa. Altered expression and/or function of epithelial ion transporters and channels is the principle cause of electrolyte retention and water accumulation in the intestinal lumen leading to diarrhea in IBD. Aberrant barrier function further contributes to diarrhea via leak-flux mechanism. Mucosal penetration of enteric pathogens promotes dysbiosis and exacerbates the underlying immune system further perpetuating IBD associated-tissue damage and diarrhea. Here, we review the mechanisms of impaired ion transport and loss of epithelial barrier function contributing to diarrhea associated with IBD.

Abstract
Endothelial oxidative stress develops with aging and reactive oxygen species impair endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR) by decreasing nitric oxide (NO) availability. Endothelial KCa 3.1, which contributes to EDR, is upregulated by H2 O2 . We investigated whether KCa 3.1 upregulation compensates for diminished EDR to NO during aging-related oxidative stress. Previous studies identified that the levels of ceramide synthase 5 (CerS5), sphingosine, and sphingosine 1-phosphate were increased in aged wild-type and CerS2 mice. In primary mouse aortic endothelial cells (MAECs) from aged wild-type and CerS2 null mice, superoxide dismutase (SOD) was upregulated, and catalase and glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1) were downregulated, when compared to MAECs from young and age-matched wild-type mice. Increased H2 O2 levels induced Fyn and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) phosphorylation and KCa 3.1 upregulation. Catalase/GPX1 double knockout (catalase(-/-) /GPX1(-/-) ) upregulated KCa 3.1 in MAECs. NO production was decreased in aged wild-type, CerS2 null, and catalase(-/-) /GPX1(-/-) MAECs. However, KCa 3.1 activation-induced, N(G) -nitro-l-arginine-, and indomethacin-resistant EDR was increased without a change in acetylcholine-induced EDR in aortic rings from aged wild-type, CerS2 null, and catalase(-/-) /GPX1(-/-) mice. CerS5 transfection or exogenous application of sphingosine or sphingosine 1-phosphate induced similar changes in levels of the antioxidant enzymes and upregulated KCa 3.1. Our findings suggest that, during aging-related oxidative stress, SOD upregulation and downregulation of catalase and GPX1, which occur upon altering the sphingolipid composition or acyl chain length, generate H2 O2 and thereby upregulate KCa 3.1 expression and function via a H2 O2 /Fyn-mediated pathway. Altogether, enhanced KCa 3.1 activity may compensate for decreased NO signaling during vascular aging.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are chronic relapsing inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Chronic inflammation of the intestine affects the normal fluid and electrolyte absorption leading to diarrhea, the hallmark symptom of IBD. The management of IBD-associated diarrhea still remains to be a challenge, and extensive studies over the last 2 decades have focused on investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying IBD-associated diarrhea. These studies have shown that the predominant mechanism of diarrhea in IBD involves impairment of electroneutral NaCl absorption, with very little role if any played by anion secretion. The electroneutral NaCl absorption involves coupled operation of Na/H exchanger 3 (NHE3 or SLC9A3) and Cl/HCO3 exchanger DRA (Down Regulated in Adenoma, or SLC26A3). Increasing evidence now supports the critical role of a marked decrease in NHE3 and DRA function and/or expression in IBD-associated diarrhea. This review provides a detailed analysis of the current knowledge related to alterations in NHE3 and DRA function and expression in IBD including the mechanisms underlying these observations and highlights the potential of these transporters as important and novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
In acute respiratory distress syndrome, both reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increased intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)]i) are thought to play important roles in promoting endothelial paracellular permeability, but the mechanisms linking ROS and [Ca(2+)]i in microvascular endothelial cells are not known. In this study, we assessed the effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on [Ca(2+)]i in mouse and human lung microvascular endothelial cells (MLMVEC and HLMVEC, respectively). We found that in both MLMVECs and HLMVECs, exogenously applied H2O2 increased [Ca(2+)]i through Ca(2+) influx and that pharmacologic inhibition of the calcium channel transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) attenuated the H2O2-induced Ca(2+) influx. Additionally, knockdown of TRPV4 in HLMVEC also attenuated calcium influx following H2O2 challenge. Administration of H2O2 or TRPV4 agonists decreased transmembrane electrical resistance (TER), suggesting increased barrier permeability. To explore the regulatory mechanisms underlying TRPV4 activation by ROS, we examined H2O2-induced Ca(2+) influx in MLMVECs and HLMVECs with either genetic deletion, silencing, or pharmacologic inhibition of Fyn, a Src family kinase. In both MLMVECs derived from mice deficient for Fyn and HLMVECs treated with either siRNA targeted to Fyn or the Src family kinase inhibitor SU-6656 for 24 or 48 h, the H2O2-induced Ca(2+) influx was attenuated. Treatment with SU-6656 decreased the levels of phosphorylated, but not total, TRPV4 protein and had no effect on TRPV4 response to the external agonist, GSK1016790A. In conclusion, our data suggest that application of exogenous H2O2 increases [Ca(2+)]i and decreases TER in microvascular endothelial cells via activation of TRPV4 through a mechanism that requires the Src kinase Fyn.

Abstract
The decrease of endothelial barrier function is central to the long-term inflammatory response. A pathological alteration of the ability of endothelial cells to modulate the passage of cells and solutes across the vessel underlies the development of inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis and multiple sclerosis. The inflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor (TNF) mediates changes in the barrier properties of the endothelium. TNF activates different Rho GTPases, increases filamentous actin and remodels endothelial cell morphology. However, inhibition of actin-mediated remodelling is insufficient to prevent endothelial barrier disruption in response to TNF, suggesting that additional molecular mechanisms are involved. Here we discuss, first, the pivotal role of Rac-mediated generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to regulate the integrity of endothelial cell-cell junctions and, second, the ability of endothelial adhesion receptors such as ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and PECAM-1, involved in leukocyte transendothelial migration, to control endothelial permeability to small molecules, often through ROS generation. These adhesion receptors regulate endothelial barrier function in ways both dependent on and independent of their engagement by immune cells, and orchestrate the crosstalk between leukocyte transendothelial migration and endothelial permeability during inflammation.

Abstract
The transport of fluid, nutrients and electrolytes to and from the intestinal lumen is a primary function of epithelial cells. Normally, the intestine absorbs approximately 9 l of fluid and 1 kg of nutrients daily, driven by epithelial transport processes that consume large amounts of cellular energy and O2. The epithelium exists at the interface of the richly vascularised mucosa, and the anoxic luminal environment and this steep O2 gradient play a key role in determining the expression pattern of proteins involved in fluid, nutrient and electrolyte transport. However, the dynamic nature of the splanchnic circulation necessitates that the epithelium can evoke co-ordinated responses to fluctuations in O2 availability, which occur either as a part of the normal digestive process or as a consequence of several pathophysiological conditions. While it is known that hypoxia-responsive signals, such as reactive oxygen species, AMP-activated kinase, hypoxia-inducible factors, and prolyl hydroxylases are all important in regulating epithelial responses to altered O2 supply, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved is still limited. Here, we aim to review the current literature regarding the role that O2 plays in regulating intestinal transport processes and to highlight areas of research that still need to be addressed.

Abstract
The oocyte is a highly specialized cell poised to respond to fertilization with a unique set of actions needed to recognize and incorporate a single sperm, complete meiosis, reprogram maternal and paternal genomes and assemble them into a unique zygotic genome, and finally initiate the mitotic cell cycle. Oocytes accomplish this diverse series of events through an array of signal transduction pathway components that include a characteristic collection of protein tyrosine kinases. The src-family protein kinases (SFKs) figure importantly in this signaling array and oocytes characteristically express certain SFKs at high levels to provide for the unique actions that the oocyte must perform. The SFKs typically exhibit a distinct pattern of subcellular localization in oocytes and perform critical functions in different subcellular compartments at different steps during oocyte maturation and fertilization. While many aspects of SFK signaling are conserved among oocytes from different species, significant differences exist in the extent to which src-family-mediated pathways are used by oocytes from species that fertilize externally vs those which are fertilized internally. The observation that several oocyte functions which require SFK signaling appear to represent common points of failure during assisted reproductive techniques in humans, highlights the importance of these signaling pathways for human reproductive health.

Abstract
The duodenal villus brush border membrane expresses several ion transporters and/or channels, including the solute carrier 26 anion transporters Slc26a3 (DRA) and Slc26a6 (PAT-1), the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3), as well as the anion channels cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and Slc26a9. Using genetically engineered mouse models lacking Scl26a3, Slc26a6, Slc26a9 or Slc9a3 (NHE3), the study was carried out to assess the role of these transporters in mediating the protective duodenal bicarbonate secretory response (DBS-R) to luminal acid; and to compare it to their role in DBS-R elicited by the adenylyl cyclase agonist forskolin. While basal DBS was reduced in the absence of any of the three Slc26 isoforms, the DBS-R to forskolin was not altered. In contrast, the DBS-R to a 5 min exposure to luminal acid (pH 2.5) was strongly reduced in the absence of Slc26a3 or Slc26a9, but not Slc26a6. CFTR inhibitor [CFTR(Inh)-172] reduced the first phase of the acid-induced DBS-R, while NHE3 inhibition (or knockout) abolished the sustained phase of the DBS-R. Luminal acid exposure resulted in the activation of multiple intracellular signalling pathways, including SPAK, AKT and p38 phosphorylation. It induced a biphasic trafficking of NHE3, first rapidly into the brush border membrane, followed by endocytosis in the later stage. We conclude that the long-lasting DBS-R to luminal acid exposure activates multiple duodenocyte signalling pathways and involves changes in trafficking and/or activity of CFTR, Slc26 isoforms Slc26a3 and Slc26a9, and NHE3.

Abstract
Interferon-γ (IFNγ) is an important immunoregulatory cytokine that can also decrease intestinal epithelial barrier function. Little is known about the intracellular signalling events immediately subsequent to IFNγ/IFNγ receptor interaction that mediate increases in epithelial permeability; data that could be used to ablate this effect of IFNγ while leaving its immunostimulatory effects intact. This study assessed the potential involvement of Src family kinases in IFNγ-induced increases in epithelial permeability using confluent filter-grown monolayers of the human colon-derived T84 epithelial cell line. Inhibition of Src kinase with the pharmacologic PP1 and use of Fyn kinase-specific siRNA significantly reduced IFNγ-induced increases in epithelial permeability as gauged by translocation of noninvasive E. coli (HB101 strain) and flux of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) across monolayers of T84 cells. However, the drop in transepithelial resistance elicited by IFNγ was not affected by either treatment. Immunoblotting revealed that IFNγ activated the transcription factor STAT5 in T84 cells, and immunoprecipitation studies identified an IFNγ-inducible interaction between STAT5b and the PI3K regulatory subunit p85α through formation of a complex requiring the adaptor molecule Gab2. siRNA targeting STAT5b and Gab2 reduced IFNγ-induced increases in epithelial permeability and phosphorylation of PI3K(p85α). PP1 and Fyn siRNA reduced IFNγ-induced PI3K activity (indicated by decreased phospho-Akt) and the formation of the STAT5b/PI3K(p85α) complex. Collectively, the results suggest the formation of a Fyn-dependent STAT5b/Gab2/PI3K complex that links IFNγ to PI3K signalling and the regulation of macromolecular permeability in a model enteric epithelium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The absorption of water and ions (especially Na(+) and Cl(-)) is an important function of colonic epithelial cells in both physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Despite the comprehensive animal studies, there are only scarce available data on the ion transporter activities of the normal and inflamed human colon. METHODS In this study, 128 healthy controls and 69 patients suffering from ulcerative colitis (UC) were involved. We investigated the expressional and functional characteristics of the Na(+)/H(+) exchangers (NHE) 1-3, the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), and the SLC26A3 Cl(-)/HCO 3- exchanger downregulated in adenoma (DRA) in primary colonic crypts isolated from human biopsy and surgical samples using microfluorometry, patch clamp, and real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) techniques. RESULTS Data collected from colonic crypts showed that the activities of electroneutral (via NHE3) and the electrogenic Na(+) absorption (via ENaC) are in inverse ratio to each other in the proximal and distal colon. We found no significant differences in the activity of NHE2 in different segments of the colon. Surface cell Cl(-)/HCO 3- exchange is more active in the distal part of the colon. Importantly, both sodium and chloride absorptions are damaged in UC, whereas NHE1, which has been shown to promote immune response, is upregulated by 6-fold. CONCLUSIONS These results open up new therapeutic targets in UC.

Abstract
Neuropeptide Y (NPY), an important proabsorptive hormone of the gastrointestinal tract has been shown to inhibit chloride secretion and stimulate NaCl absorption. However, mechanisms underlying the proabsorptive effects of NPY are not fully understood. The present studies were designed to examine the direct effects of NPY on apical Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻(OH⁻) exchange activity and the underlying mechanisms involved utilizing Caco2 cells. Our results showed that NPY (100 nM, 30 min) significantly increased Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻(OH⁻) exchange activity (∼2-fold). Selective NPY/Y1 or Y2 receptor agonists mimicked the effects of NPY. NPY-mediated stimulation of Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻(OH⁻) exchange activity involved the ERK1/2 MAP kinase-dependent pathway. Cell surface biotinylation studies showed that NPY does not alter DRA (apical Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻(OH⁻) exchanger) surface expression, ruling out the involvement of membrane trafficking events. Interestingly, DRA was found to be predominantly expressed in the detergent-insoluble (DI) and low-density fractions (LDF) of human colonic apical membrane vesicles (AMVs) representing lipid rafts. Depletion of membrane cholesterol by methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD, 10 mM, 1 h) remarkably decreased DRA expression in the DI fractions. Similar results were obtained in Triton-X 100-treated Caco2 plasma membranes. DRA association with lipid rafts in the DI and LDF fractions of Caco2 cells was significantly enhanced (∼45%) by NPY compared with control. MβCD significantly decreased Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻(OH⁻) exchange activity in Caco2 cells as measured by DIDS- or niflumic acid-sensitive ³⁶Cl⁻ uptake (∼50%). Our results demonstrate that NPY modulates Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻(OH⁻) exchange activity by enhancing the association of DRA with lipid rafts, thereby resulting in an increase in Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻(OH⁻) exchange activity. Our findings suggest that the alteration in the association of DRA with lipid rafts may contribute to the proabsorptive effects of NPY in the human intestine.

Abstract
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 cultured on fibronectin. ILK kinase activity increased rapidly 5 min after strain induction in both Caco-2 and intestinal epithelial cell-6 (IEC-6) cells. Wound closure in response to strain was reduced in ILK small interfering RNA (siRNA)-transfected Caco-2 cell monolayers when compared with control siRNA-transfected Caco-2 cells. Pharmacological blockade of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) or Src or reducing Src by siRNA prevented strain activation of ILK. ILK coimmunoprecipitated with focal adhesion kinase (FAK), and this association was decreased by mutation of FAK Tyr925 but not FAK Tyr397. Strain induction of FAK Tyr925 phosphorylation but not FAK Tyr397 or FAK Tyr576 phosphorylation was blocked in ILK siRNA-transfected cells. ILK-Src association was stimulated by strain and was blocked by the Src inhibitor PP2. Finally, ILK reduction by siRNA inhibited strain-induced phosphorylation of myosin light chain and Akt. These results suggest a strain-dependent signaling pathway in which ILK association with FAK and Src mediates the subsequent downstream strain-induced motogenic response and suggest that ILK induction by repetitive deformation may contribute to recovery from mucosal injury and restoration of the mucosal barrier in patients with prolonged ileus. ILK may therefore be an important target for intervention to maintain the mucosa in such patients.

Abstract
Intestinal epithelial cells act as innate immune sentinels, as the first cells that encounter diarrheal pathogens. They use pattern recognition molecules such as the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) to identify molecular signals found on microbes but not host cells or food components. TLRs cannot generally distinguish the molecular signals on pathogenic bacteria from those found in commensals, yet under healthy conditions epithelial immune responses are kept in check. We hypothesized that, in the setting of tissue damage or stress, intestinal epithelial cells would upregulate their responses to TLR ligands to reflect the greater need for immediate protection against pathogens. We treated Caco-2 cells with the TLR5 agonist flagellin in the presence or absence of H(2)O(2) and measured chemokine production and intracellular signaling pathways. H(2)O(2) increased flagellin-induced IL-8 (CXCL8) production in a dose-dependent manner. This was associated with synergistic phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase and with prolonged I-kappaB degradation and NF-kappaB activation. The H(2)O(2)-mediated potentiation of IL-8 production required the activity of p38, tyrosine kinases, phospholipase Cgamma, and intracellular calcium, but not protein kinase C or protein kinase D. H(2)O(2) prolonged and augmented NF-kappaB activation by flagellin. In contrast to IL-8, CCL20 (MIP3alpha) production by flagellin was reduced by H(2)O(2), and this effect was not calcium dependent. Oxidative stress biases intestinal epithelial responses to flagellin, leading to increased production of IL-8 and decreased production of CCL20. This suggests that epithelial cells are capable of sensing the extracellular environment and adjusting their antimicrobial responses accordingly.

Abstract
Somatostatin (SST), an important neuropeptide of the gastrointestinal tract has been shown to stimulate sodium chloride absorption and inhibit chloride secretion in the intestine. However, the effects of SST on luminal butyrate absorption in the human intestine have not been investigated. Earlier studies from our group and others have shown that monocarboxylate transporter (MCT1) plays an important role in the transport of butyrate in the human intestine. The present studies were undertaken to examine the effects of SST on butyrate uptake utilizing postconfluent human intestinal epithelial Caco2 cells. Apical SST treatment of Caco-2 cells for 30-60 min significantly increased butyrate uptake in a dose-dependent manner with maximal increase at 50 nM ( approximately 60%, P < 0.05). SST receptor 2 agonist, seglitide, mimicked the effects of SST on butyrate uptake. SST-mediated stimulation of butyrate uptake involved the p38 MAP kinase-dependent pathway. Kinetic studies demonstrated that SST increased the maximal velocity (V(max)) of the transporter by approximately twofold without any change in apparent Michaelis-Menten constant (K(m)). The higher butyrate uptake in response to SST was associated with an increase in the apical membrane levels of MCT1 protein parallel to a decrease in the intracellular MCT1 pool. MCT1 has been shown to interact specifically with CD147 glycoprotein/chaperone to facilitate proper expression and function of MCT1 at the cell surface. SST significantly enhanced the membrane levels of CD147 as well as its association with MCT1. This association was completely abolished by the specific p38 MAP kinase inhibitor, SB203580. Our findings demonstrate that increased MCT1 association with CD147 at the apical membrane in response to SST is p38 MAP kinase dependent and underlies the stimulatory effects of SST on butyrate uptake.
