Abstract:
:This is the first study to demonstrate that the AT motif binding factor 1-A (ATBF1-A) is expressed in the crypts and the bases of villi of the small intestine and negatively regulates transcription of brush-border enzyme gene, aminopeptidase-N (APN). In situ hybridization visualized a limited ATBF1-A mRNA expression in the crypts and the bases of villi. Transient transfection and dual luciferase-reporter assay demonstrated that ATBF1-A suppressed the activity of APN promoter, but did not that of AT motif deleted promoter. These results imply that ATBF1-A inhibits the transcription of APN gene through its direct binding to the AT motif element. Furthermore, butyrate-induced differentiation of Caco-2 cells, retaining the enterocytic phenotypes such as a villus structure and the expression of brush-border enzymes, leads to a reduced expression of ATBF1-A mRNA. We proposed that ATBF1-A regulating APN gene expression in the crypt-villus axis of the small intestine is a landmark of enterocyte differentiation and maturation.
