Abstract:
:The crypt-villi axis of intestinal mucosa maintains homeostasis by renewal of epithelia, and also exhibits different properties from undifferentiated to terminally differentiated cells. We investigated differential susceptibility to genotoxin-induced cell death, based on the degree of differentiation of epithelial cells, and its mechanism. Differentiation was induced by post-confluence culture in Caco-2 cells. Methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), a direct-acting DNA alkylating agent, was used for genotoxin-induced cell death. Compared to subconfluent Caco-2 cells, 7 days post-confluent cells showed resistance to MMS-induced cell death. With increasing expression of adherens junction components of E-cadherin and beta-catenin, E-cadherin and p-Akt expression increased in 7 days post-confluent Caco-2 cells, and in human intestinal tissue, expression of E-cadherin and p-Akt also increased in the upper portion of villi, compared to the crypt. Inhibition of cell-cell adhesion using EGTA decreased Akt phosphorylation, which was reversed by calcium restoration. Akt phosphorylation by calcium-mediated cell-cell adhesion was more prominent in differentiated cells. In addition, treatment of a PI3K inhibitor, LY294002, inhibited Akt phosphorylation by calcium-mediated cell-cell adhesion. Finally, the differential sensitivity to MMS-induced cell death between subconfluent and 7 days post-confluent Caco-2 cells was eliminated by inhibiting cell-cell adhesion or PI3K. Our data demonstrated that cell adhesion-mediated PI3K/Akt activation could be one of the important mechanisms of resistance to genotoxin-induced cell death in differentiated epithelial cells.
