Fibroblast growth factor-21 potentiates the stimulatory effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 on transepithelial calcium transport and TRPV6 Ca 2+ channel expression. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2024; 733:150429.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-21 is a salient liver-derived endocrine regulator for metabolism of glucose and triglyceride as well as bone remodeling. Previously, certain peptides in the FGF family have been shown to modulate calcium absorption across the intestinal epithelia. Since FGF21 receptor, i.e., FGF receptor-1, is abundantly expressed in the enterocytes, there was a possibility that FGF21 might exert direct actions on the intestine. Herein, a large-scale production of recombinant FGF21 at the multi-gram level was developed in order to minimize variations among various batches. In the oral glucose tolerance test, recombinant FGF21 was found to reduce plasma glucose levels in mice fed high-fat diet. A series of experiments applying radioactive tracer 45Ca in Ussing chamber showed that FGF21 potentiated the stimulatory effect of low-dose 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [10 nM 1,25(OH)2D3] on the transepithelial calcium transport across intestinal epithelium-like Caco-2 monolayer. FGF21 + 1,25(OH)2D3 also decreased transepithelial resistance, but had no effect on epithelial potential difference or short-circuit current. Furthermore, 1,25(OH)2D3 alone upregulated the Caco-2 mRNA expression of the major apical calcium channels, i.e., transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily member 6 (TRPV6), which was further elevated by a combination of FGF21 and 1,25(OH)2D3, consistent with the upregulated TRPV6 protein expression in enterocytes of FGF21-treated mice. However, FGF21 was without effects on the mRNA expression of voltage-gated calcium channel 1.3, calbindin-D9k, plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase 1b, claudin-12 or claudin-15. In conclusion, FGF21 did exert a direct action on the intestinal epithelial cells by potentiating the 1,25(OH)2D3-enhanced calcium transport, presumably through the upregulation of TRPV6 expression.

Abstract
Clinical studies and structural analyses of salivary stones strongly suggest a linkage between higher saliva calcium (Ca2+) and salivary stone formation, sialolithiasis; however, the process and the mechanism leading to Ca2+ overload during sialolithiasis is not well understood. Here, we show that TRPC3 null (-/-) mice presented with a reduction in Ca2+ entry and current in ductal cells with higher saliva [Ca2+] suggesting diminished transepithelial Ca2+ flux across the salivary ductal cells, leaving more Ca2+ in ductal fluid. Significantly, we found that TRPC3 was expressed in mice and human salivary ductal cells, while intraductal stones were detected in both mice (TRPC3-/-) and patient (sialolithiasis) salivary glands. To identify the mechanism, we found that TRPC3 was crucial in preventing the expression of calcification genes (BMP2/6, Runx2) in ductal cells which may be due to higher extracellular Ca2+ in SMG tissues. Similarly, inflammatory (IL6, NLRP3), fibrotic (FN1, TGFβ1) and apoptotic (Bax1/Bcl2) markers were also elevated, suggesting that the loss of TRPC3 induces genetic changes that leads to salivary gland cell death and induction of inflammatory response. Overall, ablation of TRPC3-/- leads to higher saliva [Ca2+], along with elevated detrimental gene expressions, altogether contributing to salivary gland stone formation.

Abstract
Tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (Tsc1) is a tumor suppressor that functions together with Tsc2 to negatively regulate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activity. Here, we show that Tsc1 has a critical role in the tight junction (TJ) formation of epithelium, independent of its role in Tsc2 and mTORC1 regulation. When an epithelial cell establishes contact with neighboring cells, Tsc1, but not Tsc2, migrates from the cytoplasm to junctional membranes, in which it binds myosin 6 to anchor the perijunctional actin cytoskeleton to β-catenin and ZO-1. In its absence, perijunctional actin cytoskeleton fails to form. In mice, intestine-specific or inducible, whole-body Tsc1 ablation disrupts adherens junction/TJ structures in intestine or skin epithelia, respectively, causing Crohn's disease-like symptoms in the intestine or psoriasis-like phenotypes on the skin. In patients with Crohn's disease or psoriasis, junctional Tsc1 levels in epithelial tissues are markedly reduced, concomitant with the TJ structure impairment, suggesting that Tsc1 deficiency may underlie TJ-related diseases. These findings establish an essential role of Tsc1 in the formation of cell junctions and underpin its association with TJ-related human diseases.

CFTR-mediated anion secretion in parathyroid hormone-treated Caco-2 cells is associated with PKA and PI3K phosphorylation but not intracellular pH changes or Na +/K +-ATPase abundance. Biochem Biophys Rep 2021; 27:101054.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has previously been shown to enhance the transepithelial secretion of Cl− and HCO3− across the intestinal epithelia including Caco-2 monolayer, but the underlying cellular mechanisms are not completely understood. Herein, we identified the major signaling pathways that possibly mediated the PTH action to its known target anion channel, i.e., cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator anion channel (CFTR). Specifically, PTH was able to induce phosphorylation of protein kinase A and phosphoinositide 3-kinase. Since the apical HCO3− efflux through CFTR often required the intracellular H+/HCO3− production and/or the Na+-dependent basolateral HCO3− uptake, the intracellular pH (pHi) balance might be disturbed, especially as a consequence of increased endogenous H+ and HCO3− production. However, measurement of pHi by a pH-sensitive dye suggested that the PTH-exposed Caco-2 cells were able to maintain normal pH despite robust HCO3− transport. In addition, although the plasma membrane Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) is normally essential for basolateral HCO3− uptake and other transporters (e.g., NHE1), PTH did not induce insertion of new NKA molecules into the basolateral membrane as determined by membrane protein biotinylation technique. Thus, together with our previous data, we concluded that the PTH action on Caco-2 cells is dependent on PKA and PI3K with no detectable change in pHi or NKA abundance on cell membrane. Intestinal epithelial-like Caco-2 cells expressed CFTR and PTH1R. PTH increased anion transport across Caco-2 monolayer as suggested by Vt change. PTH induced phosphorylation of PKA and PI3K in Caco-2 cells. Intracellular pH was unaltered despite the presence of PTH-induced HCO3− efflux. PTH did not change Na+/K+-ATPase abundance in the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Whether the intestinal mucosal cells are capable of sensing calcium concentration in the lumen and pericellular interstitium remains enigmatic for decades. Most calcium-regulating organs, such as parathyroid gland, kidney, and bone, are capable of using calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) to detect plasma calcium and trigger appropriate feedback responses to maintain calcium homeostasis. Although both CaSR transcripts and proteins are abundantly expressed in the crypt and villous enterocytes of the small intestine as well as the surface epithelial cells of the large intestine, the studies of CaSR functions have been limited to amino acid sensing and regulation of epithelial fluid secretion. Interestingly, several lines of recent evidence have indicated that the enterocytes use CaSR to monitor luminal and extracellular calcium levels, thereby reducing the activity of transient receptor potential channel, subfamily V, member 6, and inducing paracrine and endocrine feedback responses to restrict calcium absorption. Recent investigations in zebra fish and rodents have also suggested the role of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23 as an endocrine and/or paracrine factor participating in the negative control of intestinal calcium transport. In this review article, besides the CaSR-modulated ion transport, we elaborate the possible roles of CaSR and FGF-23 as well as their crosstalk as parts of a negative feedback loop for counterbalancing the seemingly unopposed calciotropic effect of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on the intestinal calcium absorption.

Knee osteoarthritis in young growing rats is associated with widespread osteopenia and impaired bone mineralization. Sci Rep 2020; 10:15079.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) leads to joint pain from intraarticular inflammation with articular cartilage erosion, deterioration of joint function and abnormal subchondral bone structure. Besides aging, chronic repetitive joint injury is a common risk factor in young individuals. Nevertheless, whether OA is associated with bone loss at other skeletal sites is unclear. Since OA-associated proinflammatory cytokines-some of which are osteoclastogenic factors-are often detected in the circulation, we hypothesized that the injury-induced knee OA could result in widespread osteopenia at bone sites distant to the injured knee. Here we performed anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) to induce knee OA in one limb of female Sprague-Dawley rats and determined bone changes post-OA induction by micro-computed tomography and computer-assisted bone histomorphometry. We found that although OA modestly altered bone density, histomorphometric analyses revealed increases in bone resorption and osteoid production with impaired mineralization. The bone formation rate was also reduced in OA rats. In conclusions, ACLT in young growing rats induced microstructural defects in the trabecular portion of weight-bearing (tibia) and non-weight-bearing bones (L5 vertebra), in part by enhancing bone resorption and suppressing bone formation. This finding supports the increasing concern regarding the repetitive sport-related ACL injuries and the consequent bone loss.

Abstract
β-thalassemia is often associated with hyperglycemia, osteoporosis and increased fracture risk. However, the underlying mechanisms of the thalassemia-associated bone loss remain unclear. It might result from abnormal activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and perhaps prolonged exposure to high extracellular glucose. Herein, we determined the rate of duodenal calcium transport in hemizygous β-globin knockout thalassemic (BKO) mice. Their bones were collected for primary osteoblast and osteoclast culture. We found that BKO mice had lower calcium absorption than their wild-type (WT) littermates. Osteoblasts from BKO mice showed aberrant expression of osteoblast-specific genes, e.g., Runx2, alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin, which could be partially restored by 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment. However, the mRNA expression levels of RANK, calcitonin receptor (Calcr), c-Fos, NFATc1, cathepsin K and DMT1 were similar in both BKO and WT groups. Exposure to high extracellular glucose modestly but significantly affected the expression of osteoclast-specific markers in WT osteoclasts with no significant effect on osteoblast-specific genes in WT osteoblasts. Thus, high glucose alone was unable to convert WT bone cells to BKO-like bone cells. In conclusion, the impaired calcium absorption and mutation-related aberrant bone cell function rather than exposure to high blood glucose were likely to be the principal causes of thalassemic bone loss.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate (CaP) crystals, which begin to form in the early segments of the loop of Henle (LOH), are known to act as precursors for calcium stone formation. The proximal tubule (PT), which is just upstream of the LOH and is a major site for Ca2+ reabsorption, could be a regulator of such CaP crystal formation. However, PT Ca2+ reabsorption is mostly described as being paracellular. Here, we show the existence of a regulated transcellular Ca2+ entry pathway in luminal membrane PT cells induced by Ca2+-sensing receptor (CSR, also known as CASR)-mediated activation of transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3) channels. In support of this idea, we found that both CSR and TRPC3 are physically and functionally coupled at the luminal membrane of PT cells. More importantly, TRPC3-deficient mice presented with a deficiency in PT Ca2+ entry/transport, elevated urinary [Ca2+], microcalcifications in LOH and urine microcrystals formations. Taken together, these data suggest that a signaling complex comprising CSR and TRPC3 exists in the PT and can mediate transcellular Ca2+ transport, which could be critical in maintaining the PT luminal [Ca2+] to mitigate formation of the CaP crystals in LOH and subsequent formation of calcium stones.

Abstract
The mechanism of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) suppressing intestinal Mg2+ uptake is unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the role of purinergic P2Y receptors in the regulation of Mg2+ absorption in normal and omeprazole-treated intestinal epithelium-like Caco-2 monolayers. Omeprazole suppressed Mg2+ transport across Caco-2 monolayers. An agonist of the P2Y2 receptor, but not the P2Y4 or P2Y6 receptor, suppressed Mg2+ transport across control and omeprazole-treated monolayers. Omeprazole enhanced P2Y2 receptor expression in Caco-2 cells. Forskolin and P2Y2 receptor agonist markedly enhanced apical HCO3- secretion by control and omeprazole-treated monolayers. The P2Y2 receptor agonist suppressed Mg2+ transport and stimulated apical HCO3- secretion through the Gq-protein coupled-phospholipase C (PLC) dependent pathway. Antagonists of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and Na+-HCO3- cotransporter-1 (NBCe1) could nullify the inhibitory effect of P2Y2 receptor agonist on Mg2+ transport across control and omeprazole-treated Caco-2 monolayers. Our results propose an inhibitory role of P2Y2 on intestinal Mg2+ absorption.

Abstract
Hypomagnesemia is the most concerned side effect of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in chronic users. However, the mechanism of PPIs-induced systemic Mg2+ deficit is currently unclear. The present study aimed to elucidate the direct effect of short-term and long-term PPIs administrations on whole body Mg2+ homeostasis and duodenal Mg2+ absorption in rats. Mg2+ homeostasis was studied by determining the serum Mg2+ level, urine and fecal Mg2+ excretions, and bone and muscle Mg2+ contents. Duodenal Mg2+ absorption as well as paracellular charge selectivity were studied. Our result showed that gastric and duodenal pH markedly increased in omeprazole-treated rats. Omeprazole significantly suppressed plasma Mg2+ level, urinary Mg2+ excretion, and bone and muscle Mg2+ content. Thus, omeprazole induced systemic Mg2+ deficiency. By using Ussing chamber techniques, it was shown that omeprazole markedly suppressed duodenal Mg2+ channel-driven and Mg2+ channel-independent Mg2+ absorptions and cation selectivity. Inhibitors of mucosal HCO3- secretion significantly increased duodenal Mg2+ absorption in omeprazole-treated rats. We therefore hypothesized that secreted HCO3- in duodenum decreased luminal proton, this impeded duodenal Mg2+ absorption. Higher plasma total 25-OH vitamin D, diuresis, and urine PO43- were also demonstrated in hypomagnesemic rats. As a compensatory mechanism for systemic Mg2+ deficiency, the expressions of duodenal transient receptor potential melastatin 6 (TRPM6), cyclin M4 (CNNM4), claudin (Cldn)-2, Cldn-7, Cldn-12, and Cldn-15 proteins were enhanced in omeprazole-treated rats. Our findings support the potential role of duodenum on the regulation of Mg2+ homeostasis.

Intestinal mucosal changes and upregulated calcium transporter and FGF-23 expression during lactation: Contribution of lactogenic hormone prolactin. Arch Biochem Biophys 2015; 590:109-117. [PMID: 26657069 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2015.11.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2015] [Revised: 11/22/2015] [Accepted: 11/25/2015] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
As the principal lactogenic hormone, prolactin (PRL) not only induces lactogenesis but also enhances intestinal calcium absorption to supply calcium for milk production. How the intestinal epithelium res-ponses to PRL is poorly understood, but it is hypothesized to increase mucosal absorptive surface area and calcium transporter expression. Herein, lactating rats were found to have greater duodenal, jejunal and ileal villous heights as well as cecal crypt depths than age-matched nulliparous rats. Morphometric analyses in the duodenum and cecum showed that their mucosal adaptations were diminished by bromocriptine, an inhibitor of pituitary PRL release. PRL also upregulated calcium transporter expression (e.g., TRPV6 and PMCA1b) in the duodenum of lactating rats. Since excessive calcium absorption could be detrimental to lactating rats, local negative regulator of calcium absorption, e.g., fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23, should be increased. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the upregulation of FGF-23 protein expression in the duodenal and cecal mucosae of lactating rats, consistent with the enhanced FGF-23 mRNA expression in Caco-2 cells. Bromocriptine abolished this lactation-induced FGF-23 expression. Additionally, FGF-23 could negate PRL-stimulated calcium transport across Caco-2 monolayer. In conclusion, PRL was responsible for the lactation-induced mucosal adaptations, which were associated with compensatory increase in FGF-23 expression probably to prevent calcium hyperabsorption.

Abstract
Tubulogenesis is fundamental to the development of many epithelial organs. Although lumen formation in cysts has received considerable attention, less is known about lumenogenesis in tubes. Here, we utilized tubulogenesis induced by hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in MDCK cells, which form tubes enclosing a single lumen. We report the mechanism that controls tubular lumenogenesis and limits each tube to a single lumen. Knockdown of p114RhoGEF (also known as ARHGEF18), a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for RhoA, did not perturb the early stages of tubulogenesis induced by HGF. However, this knockdown impaired later stages of tubulogenesis, resulting in multiple lumens in a tube. Inhibition of Rho kinase (ROCK) or myosin IIA, which are downstream of RhoA, led to formation of multiple lumens. We studied lumen formation by live-cell imaging, which revealed that inhibition of this pathway blocked cell movement, suggesting that cell movement is necessary for consolidating multiple lumens into a single lumen. Lumen formation in tubules is mechanistically quite different from lumenogenesis in cysts. Thus, we demonstrate a new pathway that regulates directed cell migration and formation of a single lumen during epithelial tube morphogenesis.

Abstract
Therapeutic upregulation of macroautophagy in cancer cells provides an alternative mechanism for cell death. Prolactin (PRL) and its receptor (PRLR) are considered attractive therapeutic targets because of their roles as growth factors in tumor growth and progression. We utilized G129R, an antagonist peptide of PRL, to block activity of the tumoral PRL/PRLR axis, which resulted in inhibition of tumor growth in orthotopic models of human ovarian cancer. Prolonged treatment with G129R induced the accumulation of redundant autolysosomes in 3D cancer spheroids, leading to a type II programmed cell death. This inducible autophagy was a noncanonical beclin-1-independent pathway and was sustained by an astrocytic phosphoprotein (PEA-15) and protein kinase C zeta interactome. Lower levels of tumoral PRL/PRLR in clinical samples were associated with longer patient survival. Our findings provide an understanding of the mechanisms of tumor growth inhibition through targeting PRL/PRLR and may have clinical implications.

Fibroblast growth factor-23 negates 1,25(OH)2D3-induced intestinal calcium transport by reducing the transcellular and paracellular calcium fluxes. Arch Biochem Biophys 2013; 536:46-52. [PMID: 23747333 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2013.05.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2013] [Revised: 04/17/2013] [Accepted: 05/23/2013] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
The calciotropic hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] has been known to stimulate intestinal calcium transport via both transcellular and paracellular pathways. Recently, we reported that the 1,25(OH)2D3-enhanced calcium transport in the mouse duodenum could be abolished by fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23, but the targeted calcium transport pathway has been elusive. Herein, the 1,25(OH)2D3-enhanced calcium transport was markedly inhibited by FGF-23 and inhibitors of the basolateral calcium transporters, NCX1 and PMCA1b, suggesting the negative effect of FGF-23 on the transcellular calcium transport. Similar results could be observed in the intestinal epithelium-like Caco-2 monolayer. Although the Arrhenius plot indicated that FGF-23 decreased the potential barrier (e.g., activation energy) of the paracellular calcium movement, FGF-23 was found to modestly decrease the 1,25(OH)2D3-enhanced paracellular calcium transport and calcium permeability. Moreover, FGF-23 affected the 1,25(OH)2D3-induced change in duodenal water permeability as determined by tritiated water, but both 1,25(OH)2D3 and FGF-23 were without effects on the transepithelial fluxes of paracellular markers, (3)H-mannitol and (14)C-polyethylene glycol. It could be concluded that FGF-23 diminished the 1,25(OH)2D3-enhanced calcium absorption through the transcellular and paracellular pathways. Our findings have thus corroborated the presence of a bone-kidney-intestinal axis of FGF-23/vitamin D system in the regulation of calcium homeostasis.

Abstract
Among the reported ∼300 biological actions, the established role of prolactin (PRL) is to act as a vertebrate hypercalcemic hormone that regulates epithelial calcium transport in several organs, such as the gills, intestine, and kidney. In fish, PRL stimulates the branchial calcium transport by increasing the activity of Ca(2+)-ATPase. Although this calciotropic hormone also induces hypercalcemia in amphibians, reptiles and birds, little has been known regarding the underlying mechanism. In contrast, the effects of PRL on the epithelial calcium transport in mammals are well documented. In rodents, PRL has been shown to stimulate the renal tubular calcium reabsorption and intestinal calcium absorption, the latter of which is mediated by the PRL-induced upregulation of calcium transporter gene expression and activities. Recently, we demonstrated that the duodenal calcium absorption in lactating rats was markedly enhanced by the suckling-induced PRL surge, presumably to provide calcium for milk production. The cellular and molecular mechanisms of the PRL-stimulated calcium transport in mammals have been elaborated in this review.

Abstract
Clinical studies reported hypomagnesaemia in long-term omeprazole usage that was probably due to intestinal Mg(2+) wasting. Our previous report demonstrated the inhibitory effect of omeprazole on passive Mg(2+) transport across Caco-2 monolayers. The present study aimed to identify the underlying mechanism of omeprazole suppression of passive Mg(2+) absorption. By using Caco-2 monolayers, we demonstrated a potent inhibitory effect of omeprazole on passive Mg(2+), but not Ca(2+), transport across Caco-2 monolayers. Omeprazole shifted the %maximum passive Mg(2+) transport-Mg(2+) concentration curves to the right, and increased the half maximal effective concentration of those dose-response curves, indicating a lower Mg(2+) affinity of the paracellular channel. By continually monitoring the apical pH, we showed that omeprazole suppressed apical acid accumulation. Neomycin and spermine had no effect on passive Mg(2+) transport of either control or omeprazole treated monolayers, indicating that omeprazole suppressed passive Mg(2+) transport in a calcium sensing receptor (CaSR)-independent manner. The results of western blot analysis showed that omeprazole significantly suppressed claudin (Cldn)-7 and -12, but not Cldn-2, expression in Caco-2 cells. By using apical solution of pH 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, and 7.0, we found that apical acidity markedly increased passive Mg(2+) transport, Mg(2+) affinity of the paracellular channel, and Cldn-7 and -12 expression in Caco-2 monolayers. Apical acidity abolished the inhibitory effect of omeprazole on passive Mg(2+) transport and Cldn-7 and -12 expression. Our results provided the evidence for the regulation of intestinal passive Mg(2+) absorption by luminal acidity-induced increase in Cldn-7 and -12 expression.

Abstract
Ca(2+) is secreted from the salivary acinar cells as an ionic constituent of primary saliva. Ions such as Na(+) and Cl(-) get reabsorbed whereas primary saliva flows through the salivary ductal system. Although earlier studies have shown that salivary [Ca(2+)] decreases as it flows down the ductal tree into the oral cavity, ductal reabsorption of Ca(2+) remains enigmatic. Here we report a potential role for the G protein-coupled receptor, calcium-sensing receptor (CSR), in the regulation of Ca(2+) reabsorption by salivary gland ducts. Our data show that CSR is present in the apical region of ductal cells where it is co-localized with transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3). CSR is activated in isolated salivary gland ducts as well as a ductal cell line (SMIE) by altering extracellular [Ca(2+)] or by aromatic amino acid, L-phenylalanine (L-Phe, endogenous component of saliva), as well as neomycin. CSR activation leads to Ca(2+) influx that, in polarized cells grown on a filter support, is initiated in the luminal region. We show that TRPC3 contributes to Ca(2+) entry triggered by CSR activation. Further, stimulation of CSR in SMIE cells enhances the CSR-TRPC3 association as well as surface expression of TRPC3. Together our findings suggest that CSR could serve as a Ca(2+) sensor in the luminal membrane of salivary gland ducts and regulate reabsorption of [Ca(2+)] from the saliva via TRPC3, thus contributing to maintenance of salivary [Ca(2+)]. CSR could therefore be a potentially important protective mechanism against formation of salivary gland stones (sialolithiasis) and infection (sialoadenitis).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aquaporin (AQP)-1 is expressed in most microvasculature endothelial cells forming water channels that play major roles in a variety of physiologic processes. Our aim was to investigate the regulatory functions of AQP1 on trancellular and paracellular permeability. METHODS We designed, synthesized, and used small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) selective for AQP1 and investigated their effectiveness in altering AQP1-mediated permeability in human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells. RESULTS Twenty-four hours after transfection of ECs with siRNAs targeting two different regions of the AQP1 transcript, AQP1 protein was inhibited by 47.8% to 74.6%. siRNAs containing the same percent of base pairs as the AQP1-siRNAs but in random sequence (i.e., scrambled siRNAs) had no effect. Suppression of AQP1 expression in ECs resulted in decreases in epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) and Na-K ATPase of ECs, and the suppression ENaC α, β, γ, and Na-K ATPase were 43.1% to 48.2%,70.0% to 76.0%, 52.6% to 55.0%, and 72.7% to 79.3%, respectively. The reduced AQP1expression also resulted in decreased cell-cell junction protein level of VE-cadherin, which was suppressed by 36.5% to 59.5% but had no effect on occludin protein. Tube formation assay and tranwell assay showed AQP1 siRNAs induced high permeability of human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells. Rho-kinase (ROCK) I and ROCK II were increased by 46.0% to 50.0% and 59% to 81%, respectively, AQP1 siRNA treatment accelerated the formation of F-actin bundles, demonstrating the activation of Rho/ROCK signaling pathway, and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential after AQP1 siRNA treatment, showing an important event of apoptosis process. CONCLUSIONS The data demonstrate that AQP1 is a critical participate in regulating endothelial permeability and barrier function and provide direct evidence of the contribution of AQP1 to blood vessel formation.

Abstract
Transcellular models of dietary Ca(2+) absorption by the intestine assign essential roles to TRPV6 and calbindin-D(9K) . However, studies with gene-knockout mice challenge this view. Something fundamental is missing. The L-type channel Ca(v) 1.3 is located in the apical membrane from the duodenum to the ileum. In perfused rat jejunum in vivo and in Caco-2 cells, Ca(v) 1.3 mediates sodium glucose transporter 1 (SGLT1)-dependent and prolactin-induced active, transcellular Ca(2+) absorption, respectively. TRPV6 is activated by hyperpolarization and is vitamin D dependent; in contrast, Ca(v) 1.3 is activated by depolarization and is independent of calbindin-D(9K) and vitamin D. This review considers evidence supporting the idea that Ca(v) 1.3 and TRPV6 have complementary roles in the regulation of intestinal Ca(2+) absorption as depolarization and repolarization of the apical membrane occur during and between digestive periods, respectively, and as chyme moves from one intestinal segment to another and food transit times increase. Reassessment of current arguments for paracellular flow reveals that key phenomena have alternative explanations within the integrated Ca(v) 1.3/TRPV6 view of transcellular Ca(2+) absorption.

Abstract
AIM To elucidate the effect and underlying mechanisms of omeprazole action on Mg(2+) transport across the intestinal epithelium. METHODS Caco-2 monolayers were cultured in various dose omeprazole-containing media for 14 or 21 d before being inserted into a modified Ussing chamber apparatus to investigate the bi-directional Mg(2+) transport and electrical parameters. Paracellular permeability of the monolayer was also observed by the dilution potential technique and a cation permeability study. An Arrhenius plot was performed to elucidate the activation energy of passive Mg(2+) transport across the Caco-2 monolayers. RESULTS Both apical to basolateral and basolateral to apical passive Mg(2+) fluxes of omeprazole-treated epithelium were decreased in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Omeprazole also decreased the paracellular cation selectivity and changed the paracellular selective permeability profile of Caco-2 epithelium to Li(+), Na(+), K(+), Rb(+), and Cs(+) from series VII to series VI of the Eisenman sequence. The Arrhenius plot revealed the higher activation energy for passive Mg(2+) transport in omeprazole-treated epithelium than that of control epithelium, indicating that omeprazole affected the paracellular channel of Caco-2 epithelium in such a way that Mg(2+) movement was impeded. CONCLUSION Omeprazole decreased paracellular cation permeability and increased the activation energy for passive Mg(2+) transport of Caco-2 monolayers that led to the suppression of passive Mg(2+) absorption.

Abstract
Besides being a Ca²-regulating hormone, parathyroid hormone (PTH) has also been shown to regulate epithelial transport of certain ions, such as Cl, HCO₃, and Na, particularly in the kidney. Although the intestinal epithelium also expressed PTH receptors, little was known regarding its mechanism in the regulation of intestinal ion transport. We investigated the ion regulatory role of PTH in intestinal epithelium-like Caco-2 monolayer by Ussing chamber technique and alternating current impedance spectroscopy. It was found that Caco-2 cells rapidly responded to PTH within 1 min by increasing apical HCO₃- secretion. CFTR served as the principal route for PTH-stimulated apical HCOV efflux, which was abolished by various CFTR inhibitors, namely, NPPB, glycine hydrazide-101 (GlyH-101), and CFTRinh-172, as well as by small interfering RNA against CFTR. Concurrently, the plasma membrane resistance was decreased with no changes in the plasma membrane capacitance or paracellular permeability. HCOV was probably supplied by basolateral uptake via the electrogenic Na⁺-HCO₃⁻ cotransporter and by methazolamide-sensitive carbonic anhydrase, while the resulting intracellular H⁺ might be extruded by both apical and basolateral Na/H exchangers. Furthermore, the PTH-stimulated HCO₃-secretion was markedly reduced by protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor (PKI 14-22 amide) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors (wortmannin and LY-294002), but not by intracellular Ca²⁺ chelator (BAPTA-AM) or protein kinase C inhibitor (GF-109203X). In conclusion, the present study provided evidence that PTH directly and rapidly stimulated apical HCO₃- secretion through CFTR in PKA- and PI3K-dependent manner, which was a novel noncalciotropic, ion regulatory action of PTH in the intestinal epithelium.

Abstract
The milk-producing hormone prolactin (PRL) increases the transcellular intestinal calcium absorption by enhancing apical calcium uptake through voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel (Ca(v)) 1.3. However, the redundancy of apical calcium channels raised the possibility that Ca(v)1.3 may operate with other channels, especially transient receptor potential vanilloid family calcium channels (TRPV) 5 or 6, in an interdependent manner. Herein, TRPV5 knockdown (KD), TRPV5/TRPV6, TRPV5/Ca(v)1.3, and TRPV6/Ca(v)1.3 double KD, and TRPV5/TRPV6/Ca(v)1.3 triple KD Caco-2 monolayers were generated by transfecting cells with small interfering RNAs (siRNA). siRNAs downregulated only the target mRNAs, and did not induce compensatory upregulation of the remaining channels. After exposure to 600 ng/mL PRL, the transcellular calcium transport was increased by ~2-fold in scrambled siRNA-treated, TRPV5 KD and TRPV5/TRPV6 KD monolayers, but not in TRPV5/Ca(v)1.3, TRPV6/Ca(v)1.3 and TRPV5/TRPV6/Ca(v)1.3 KD monolayers. The results suggested that Ca(v)1.3 was the sole apical channel responsible for the PRL-stimulated transcellular calcium transport in intestine-like Caco-2 monolayer.

Abstract
During pregnancy and lactation, the enhanced intestinal Ca(2+) absorption serves to provide Ca(2+) for fetal development and lactogenesis; however, the responsible hormone and its mechanisms remain elusive. We elucidated herein that prolactin (PRL) markedly stimulated the transcellular and paracellular Ca(2+) transport in the duodenum of pregnant and lactating rats as well as in Caco-2 monolayer in a two-step manner. Specifically, a long-term exposure to PRL in pregnancy and lactation induced an adaptation in duodenal cells at genomic levels by upregulating the expression of genes related to transcellular transport, e.g., TRPV5/6 and calbindin-D(9k), and the paracellular transport, e.g., claudin-3, thereby raising Ca(2+) absorption rate to a new "baseline" (Step 1). During suckling, PRL surge further increased Ca(2+) absorption to a higher level (Step 2) in a nongenomic manner to match Ca(2+) loss in milk. PRL-enhanced apical Ca(2+) uptake was responsible for the increased transcellular transport, whereas PRL-enhanced paracellular transport required claudin-15, which regulated epithelial cation selectivity and paracellular Ca(2+) movement. Such nongenomic PRL actions were mediated by phosphoinositide 3-kinase, protein kinase C, and RhoA-associated coiled-coil-forming kinase pathways. In conclusion, two-step stimulation of intestinal Ca(2+) absorption resulted from long-term PRL exposure, which upregulated Ca(2+) transporter genes to elevate the transport baseline, and the suckling-induced transient PRL surge, which further increased Ca(2+) transport to the maximal capacity. The present findings also suggested that Ca(2+) supplementation at 15-30 min prior to breastfeeding may best benefit the lactating mother, since more Ca(2+) could be absorbed as a result of the suckling-induced PRL surge.

Abstract
Prolactin (PRL) is reported to stimulate calcium absorption in the rat's small intestine. However, little is known regarding its effects on the cecum, a part of the large intestine with the highest rate of intestinal calcium transport. We demonstrated herein by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis that the cecum could be a target organ of PRL since cecal epithelial cells strongly expressed PRL receptors. In Ussing chamber experiments, PRL enhanced the transcellular cecal calcium absorption in a biphasic dose-response manner. PRL also increased the paracellular calcium permeability and passive calcium transport in the cecum, which could be explained by the PRL-induced decrease in transepithelial resistance and increase in cation selectivity of the cecal epithelium. PRL actions in the cecum were abolished by inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase C (PKC), and RhoA-associated coiled-coil forming kinase (ROCK), but not inhibitors of gene transcription and protein biosynthesis. In conclusion, PRL directly enhanced the transcellular and paracellular calcium transport in the rat cecum through the nongenomic signaling pathways involving PI3K, PKC, and ROCK.

Abstract
Previous investigations suggested that prolactin (PRL) stimulated the intestinal calcium absorption through phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase C (PKC), and RhoA-associated coiled-coil forming kinase (ROCK) signaling pathways. However, little was known regarding its detailed mechanisms for the stimulation of transcellular and voltage-dependent paracellular calcium transport. By using Ussing chamber technique, we found that the PRL-induced increase in the transcellular calcium flux and decrease in transepithelial resistance of intestinal-like Caco-2 monolayer were not abolished by inhibitors of gene transcription and protein biosynthesis. The PRL-stimulated transcellular calcium transport was completely inhibited by the L-type calcium channel blockers (nifedipine and verapamil) and plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) inhibitor (trifluoperazine) as well as small interfering RNA targeting voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel Ca(v)1.3, but not TRPV6 or calbindin-D(9k). As demonstrated by (45)Ca uptake study, PI3K and PKC, but not ROCK, were essential for the PRL-enhanced apical calcium entry. In addition, PRL was unable to enhance the transcellular calcium transport after PKC(zeta) knockdown or exposure to inhibitors of PKC(zeta), but not of PKC(alpha), PKC(beta), PKC(epsilon), PKC(mu), or protein kinase A. Voltage-clamping experiments further showed that PRL markedly stimulated the voltage-dependent calcium transport and removed the paracellular rectification. Such PRL effects on paracellular transport were completely abolished by inhibitors of PI3K (LY-294002) and ROCK (Y-27632). It could be concluded that the PRL-stimulated transcellular calcium transport in Caco-2 monolayer was mediated by Ca(v)1.3 and PMCA, presumably through PI3K and PKC(zeta) pathways, while the enhanced voltage-dependent calcium transport occurred through PI3K and ROCK pathways.

Abstract
Chronic prolactin (PRL) exposure can affect several functions of duodenal epithelia, especially those associated with fluid and electrolyte transport. However, little is known regarding its molecular mechanism. To identify PRL-regulated genes, microarray analysis was performed on RNA samples from duodenal epithelial cells of anterior pituitary (AP)-grafted hyperprolactinemic rats. Herein, we identified 321 transcripts upregulated and 241 transcripts downregulated after 4 weeks of AP transplantation. Results from real-time PCR analyses of 15 selected genes were consistent with the microarray results. Gene ontology analysis demonstrated pleiotropic effects of PRL on several cellular processes, including cellular metabolic process, cell communication and cell adhesion. Interestingly, 17 upregulated transcripts and 12 downregulated transcripts are involved in the transport of ions and nutrients, e.g., Ca(2+), Na(+), K(+), Cl(-) and glucose, thus agreeing with the established action of PRL on electrolyte homeostasis. The present results provided fundamental information for further investigations on mechanism of PRL actions in the intestine.
