A survey of membrane peptidases in two human colonic cell lines, Caco-2 and HT-29.

ABSTRACT: The expression of cell-surface peptidases was examined in two human colon carcinoma cell lines, Caco-2 and HT-29. Enzymic assays revealed the presence of eight cell-surface peptidases on a Caco-2 cell line (passage number 82-88), namely aminopeptidase N, dipeptidyl peptidase IV, peptidyl dipeptidase A (angiotension-converting enzyme), aminopeptidase P, aminopeptidase W, endopeptidase-24.11, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and membrane dipeptidase. The presence of dipeptidyl peptidase IV and endopeptidase-24.11 was also confirmed immunochemically. After 15 days culture, the activities of aminopeptidase P, peptidyl dipeptidase A and alkaline phosphatase activities on Caco-2 cells reached a plateau, and that of membrane dipeptidase began to decline. In contrast, aminopeptidase N, dipeptidyl peptidase IV and endopeptidase-24.11 activities were still rising after 26 days in culture. Caco-2 cells of passage number 181-183 were found to lack endopeptidase-24.11, but maintained dipeptidyl peptidase IV expression. Two populations of HT-29 cells were surveyed. Both the standard, undifferentiated population and a differentiated population expressed only three peptidases: dipeptidyl peptidase IV, aminopeptidase W and carboxypeptidase M. In the differentiated HT-29 cells the activity of dipeptidyl peptidase IV after 14-21 days was beginning to plateau whereas aminopeptidase W activity was still rising and that of carboxypeptidase M had begun to decline. These differences in activity profiles observed among this group of cell-surface peptidases indicate that these cell lines, especially Caco-2, are useful models to study the regulation of their expression.

HT-29 and Caco-2 reporter cell lines for functional studies of nuclear factor kappa B activation.

Project description:The NF-?B is a transcription factor which plays a key role in regulating biological processes. In response to signals, NF-?B activation occurs via phosphorylation of its inhibitor, which dissociates from the NF-?B dimer allowing the translocation to the nucleus, inducing gene expression. NF-?B activation has direct screening applications for drug discovery for several therapeutic indications. Thus, pathway-specific reporter cell systems appear as useful tools to screen and unravel the mode of action of probiotics and natural and synthetic compounds. Here, we describe the generation, characterization, and validation of human epithelial reporter cell lines for functional studies of NF-?B activation by different pro- and anti-inflammatory agents. Caco-2 and HT-29 cells were transfected with a pNF-?B-hrGFP plasmid which contains the GFP gene under the control of NF-?B binding elements. Three proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-?, IL-1?, and LPS) were able to activate the reporter systems in a dose-response manner, which corresponds to the activation of the NF-?B signaling pathway. Finally, the reporter cell lines were validated using lactic acid bacteria and a natural compound. We have established robust Caco-2-NF-?B-hrGFP and HT-29-NF-?B-hrGFP reporter cell lines which represent a valuable tool for primary screening and identification of bacterial strains and compounds with a potential therapeutic interest.

Adherence potential of indigenous lactic acid bacterial isolates obtained from fermented foods of Western Himalayas to intestinal epithelial Caco-2 and HT-29 cell lines.

Project description:The adherence of bacteria to epithelial cells and mucosal surfaces is a prerequisite for their colonization in the gut and a key criterion for the selection of probiotics. In this study, the eleven indigenous lactic acid bacterial isolates obtained from traditional fermented foods of Western Himalayas were screened for their adherence potential to intestinal epithelial cell lines. The level of adherence of eleven indigenous isolates to Caco-2 and HT-29 cell lines varied from 2.45 ± 0.5 to 9.55 ± 0.76% and 4.11 ± 0.68 to 12.88 ± 0.63%, respectively. Percent adhesion of indigenous isolates to Caco-2 cells was relatively lower as compared to HT-29 cells. Indigenous isolate AdF10 (L. plantarum) was found to be the most adhesive to HT-29 and Caco-2 with corresponding figures of 12.88 ± 0.63 and 9.55 ± 0.76%, respectively. AdF4 (B. coagulans) was found to be least adhesive to HT-29 and Caco-2 with respective corresponding figures of 4.11 ± 0.68 and 2.45 ± 0.5%. Based on the percent adhesion values, indigenous isolate AdF10 (L. plantarum) was comparable to the reference probiotic strain L. rhamnosus GG-ATCC-53103 with respective adhesion of 13.5 ± 1.19 and 10.33 ± 0.64% to HT-29 and Caco-2 cell lines. It was closely followed by indigenous isolates AdF5 (L. plantarum) and AdF6 (L. plantarum); thus, indicating their potential as a promising probiotic candidates.

Barcode Sequencing Data of Capecitabine Resistant Caco-2 and Irinotecan Resistant HT-29 Cell Lines

Project description:Caco-2 and HT-29 cells were barcoded using the CloneTracker lentiviral barcode library and then irinotecan and capecitabine resistant derivatives of these cell lines were established. Four million barcoded Caco-2 and HT-29 cell were seeded into 15 cm cell culture dishes. When the cells reached confluency, two million cells per dish were seeded into four different 15 cm dishes with 25 mL medium (DMSO Control, Replica A, B, C) and two million cell pellets were stocked as initial cell population.For Caco-2 cell line, mediums in the dishes were changed twice a week with fresh mediums containing IC50 dose (4 months) and subsequently 2x IC50 dose (2 months) of capecitabine, for HT-29 cell line IC50 dose (6 months) of irinotecan. Caco-2 and HT-29 cell lines treated with DMSO were given the same amount of DMSO used in dissolving compounds as fresh medium. Following the end points of six months for each cell line, DNA isolation from harvested cell lines and collected medium of resistant B cell lines were carried out and barcodes were sequenced.

Hypoxia and heat stress affect epithelial integrity in a Caco-2/HT-29 co-culture.

Project description:Hypoxia and hyperthermia, which can be induced by high environmental temperature or strenuous exercise, are two common stressors that affect intestinal epithelial integrity and lead to multiple clinical symptoms. In this study, we developed an in-vitro intestinal monolayer model using two human colonic epithelial cell lines, Caco-2 and HT-29, co-cultured in Transwell inserts, and investigated the effects of heat treatment and/or hypoxia on the epithelial barrier function. The monolayer with a ratio of 9:1 (Caco-2:HT-29) showed high trans-epithelial electrical resistance (TEER), low Lucifer Yellow permeability and high mucin production. Hyperthermia and/or hypoxia exposure (2 h) triggered heat shock and oxidative stress responses. HSP-70 and HSF-1 protein levels were up-regulated by hyperthermia, which were further enhanced when hyperthermia was combined with hypoxia. Increased HIF-1α protein expression and Nrf2 nuclear translocation was only caused by hypoxia. Hyperthermia and/or hypoxia exposure disrupted the established monolayer by increasing paracellular permeability, decreasing ZO-1, claudin-3 and occludin protein/mRNA expression, while enhancing E-cadherin protein expression. Tight junction protein distribution in the monolayer was also modulated by the hyperthermia and/or hypoxia exposure. In addition, transcription levels of mucin genes, MUC-2 and MUC-5AC, were increased after 2 h of hyperthermia and/or hypoxia exposure. In conclusion, this Caco-2/HT-29 cell model is valid and effective for studying detrimental effects of hyperthermia and/or hypoxia on intestinal barrier function and related heat shock and oxidative stress pathways and can be used to investigate possible interventions to reverse hyperthermia and/or hypoxia-induced intestinal epithelial injury.

Expression data from HT-29, a human colonic epithelial cell line

Project description:Gene(s) in epithelial cells can be upregulated or downregulated by different stimuli in a tissue-specific manner. We used genome-wide microarray analysis to profile the expression of genes in HT-29 cells that are upregulated after stimulation with sodium butyrate (NaB) and subsequently downregulated by the addition of ciprofloxacin antibiotic. The specific aim was to evaluate genes that are associated with mucosal immunity. HT-29 cells were stimulated with sodium butyrate (NaB) (n=3), NaB and ciprofloxacin (n=3) or culture media (unstimulated control, n=3) for 24 hours. RNA extracted from these cells were hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays.

29 untreated breast cancer cell lines vs. pool of all 29 cell lines

Project description:Expression profiling of 29 untreated breast cancer cell lines using Agilent 4x44K V1 (G4112F) dual color oligonucleotide microarrays The primary study objective was to establish a research resource for comparative transcriptomic analysis of a series of commercially available breast cancer cell lines representative of diverse histopathologic and molecular subtypes, generated on the Agilent oligonucleotide platform. A specific study objective was to perform a comparative transcriptional analysis of three cell lines established from a patient with triple negative metaplastic inflammatory breast cancer developed by Drs. Felding Habermann and Smider at the Scripps Research Institute, San Diego, CA. Cancer Res 2011;71(24 Suppl):Abstract nr PD03-07. Commercial cell lines were cultured in replete media using manufacturer-recommended conditions and harvested during exponential growth phase using TRIzol Reagent. Total RNA was prepared from each cell line and a pooled reference was generated containing an equimolar concentration of RNA from all cell lines. Individual cell lines were differentially labeled relative to the reference pool and hybridized to Agilent Commercial V1 4x44K oligonucleotide microarrays.

Influence of Plasma-Isolated Anthocyanins and Their Metabolites on Cancer Cell Migration (HT-29 and Caco-2) In Vitro: Results of the ATTACH Study.

Project description:Cancer mortality is mainly due to metastasis. Therefore, searching for new therapeutic agents suppressing cancer cell migration is crucial. Data from human studies regarding effects of anthocyanins on cancer progression, however, are scarce and it is unclear whether physiological concentrations of anthocyanins and their metabolites reduce cancer cell migration in vivo. In addition, interactions with chemotherapeutics like 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) are largely unknown. Thus, we combined a placebo-controlled, double-blinded, cross-over study with in vitro migration studies of colon cancer cell lines to examine the anti-migratory effects of plasma-isolated anthocyanins and their metabolites (PAM). Healthy volunteers (n = 35) daily consumed 0.33 L of an anthocyanin-rich grape/bilberry juice and an anthocyanin-depleted placebo juice for 28 days. PAM were isolated before and after intervention by solid-phase extraction. HT-29 and Caco-2 cells were incubated with PAM in a Boyden chamber. Migration of HT-29 cells was significantly inhibited by PAM from juice but not from placebo. In contrast, Caco-2 migration was not affected. Co-incubation with 5-FU and pooled PAM from volunteers (n = 10), which most effectively inhibited HT-29 migration, further reduced HT-29 migration in comparison to 5-FU alone. Therefore, PAM at physiological concentrations impairs colon cancer cell migration and may support the effectiveness of chemotherapeutics.

Immunomodulatory activity of two potential probiotic strains in LPS-stimulated HT-29 cells.

Project description:The relative expression of mucin, pro- and anti-inflammatory genes besides other signaling molecules in HT-29 cells by two test probiotic strains of Lactobacillus plantarum Lp9 and Lp91 and the reference strain L. plantarum 5276 was evaluated by RT-qPCR using Relative Expression Software Tool qBase-Plus under in vitro simulated gut conditions. Ten house keeping genes were evaluated by using geNorm 3.4 excel based application. The most stable genes were RPL27, ACTB and B2M which were subsequently used for calculating the normalization factor. Under pretreatment conditions (4 h probiotic treatment, followed by lipopolysaccharide challenge for 3 h), all the three strains evoked downregulation of IL-8 expression by ~100 %, while in case of TNF-?, the downregulation of the relative gene expression was at the rate of 98.2, 93.8 and 98.0 % with Lp5276, Lp9 and Lp91, respectively, under the same set of conditions. Lp91 evoked maximum downregulation of IL12p35 and IFN-? with corresponding fold reduction in relative expression of the two genes by 96.5 and 96.7 % during pre-treatment conditions. However, IL-10 and IFN-? were significantly upregulated to the extent of 8.13 ± 0.36 and 2.62 ± 0.14 fold by Lp91 under the same conditions. Lp9 and Lp91 were also quite effective in inducing the expression of Cox-1 and Cox-2 in HT-29 cells as can be reflected from their ratios, i.e., 5.90 and 6.50 (under pretreatment conditions); 3.79 and 4.36 (under co-culture conditions). Thus, the two putative indigenous L. plantarum strains Lp9 and Lp91 demonstrated immunomodulating functions in HT-29 cells at significant levels under different experimental conditions.
