Peptide YY Y1 receptor activates mitogen-activated protein kinase and proliferation in gut epithelial cells via the epidermal growth factor receptor.

ABSTRACT: The G-protein-coupled peptide YY (PYY)/neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor (Y1R) subtype is highly expressed in the proliferative zone of human colonic crypt epithelial cells but biochemical and biological support for growth effects have been lacking. Using a model gut epithelial cell system, we have stably expressed the human Y1R in IEC-6 cells and show that the Y1R does couple to mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation and cell growth. This pathway uses pertussis-toxin-sensitive G-proteins and betagamma subunits, inhibited by co-transfected alpha-transducin. The Src-family tyrosine kinase inhibitor PP1, as well as specific inhibition of the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR TK) by PD153035, also blocks PYY stimulation of MAPK. This pathway further requires protein kinase C with EGFR TK inhibition blocking PYY-induced protein kinase Cepsilon (PKCepsilon) translocation to the cell membrane. Finally, we show that PYY stimulates growth in Y1R-expressing gut epithelial cells that is dependent on EGFR TK activity. These results demonstrate a novel pathway involving G(i)/G(o) protein, EGFR and PKC to activate MAPK. Further, they support a role for PYY and the Y1R in regulating growth in human colonic epithelium.

Peptide YY: a Paneth cell antimicrobial peptide that maintains Candida gut commensalism.

Project description:The mammalian gut secretes a family of multifunctional peptides that affect appetite, intestinal secretions, and motility, while some regulate the microbiota. We report peptide YY (PYY1-36), but not endocrine PYY3-36, is an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) expressed by gut epithelial Paneth Cells (PC). PC-PYY has limited antibacterial activity, but shows selective activity against virulent hyphal, but not yeast forms, of Candida albicans. 5 PC-PYY is a cationic molecule that interacts with the anionic surfaces of fungal hyphae to cause membrane disruption and transcriptional reprogramming to maintain the yeast phenotype of the fungus. PC-PYY is packaged into secretory granules and is secreted into and retained by surface mucus, which optimizes PC-PYY activity. Hence, PC-PYY acts as a selective antifungal AMP that contributes to the maintenance of gut fungal commensalism.

Candidalysin activates innate epithelial immune responses via epidermal growth factor receptor.

Project description:Candida albicans is a fungal pathobiont, able to cause epithelial cell damage and immune activation. These functions have been attributed to its secreted toxin, candidalysin, though the molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we identify epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) as a critical component of candidalysin-triggered immune responses. We find that both C. albicans and candidalysin activate human epithelial EGFR receptors and candidalysin-deficient fungal mutants poorly induce EGFR phosphorylation during murine oropharyngeal candidiasis. Furthermore, inhibition of EGFR impairs candidalysin-triggered MAPK signalling and release of neutrophil activating chemokines in vitro, and diminishes neutrophil recruitment, causing significant mortality in an EGFR-inhibited zebrafish swimbladder model of infection. Investigation into the mechanism of EGFR activation revealed the requirement of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), EGFR ligands and calcium. We thus identify a PAMP-independent mechanism of immune stimulation and highlight candidalysin and EGFR signalling components as potential targets for prophylactic and therapeutic intervention of mucosal candidiasis.

Peptide YY regulates bone remodeling in mice: a link between gut and skeletal biology.

Project description:Background & aimsGastrointestinal peptides are increasingly being linked to processes controlling the maintenance of bone mass. Peptide YY (PYY), a gut-derived satiety peptide of the neuropeptide Y family, is upregulated in some states that also display low bone mass. Importantly, PYY has high affinity for Y-receptors, particularly Y1R and Y2R, which are known to regulate bone mass. Anorexic conditions and bariatric surgery for obesity influence circulating levels of PYY and have a negative impact on bone mass, but the precise mechanism behind this is unclear. We thus examined whether alterations in PYY expression affect bone mass.MethodsBone microstructure and cellular activity were analyzed in germline PYY knockout and conditional adult-onset PYY over-expressing mice at lumbar and femoral sites using histomorphometry and micro-computed tomography.ResultsPYY displayed a negative relationship with osteoblast activity. Male and female PYY knockout mice showed enhanced osteoblast activity, with greater cancellous bone mass. Conversely, PYY over-expression lowered osteoblast activity in vivo, via a direct Y1 receptor mediated mechanism involving MAPK stimulation evident in vitro. In contrast to PYY knockout mice, PYY over expression also altered bone resorption, as indicated by greater osteoclast surface, despite the lack of Y-receptor expression in osteoclastic cells. While evident in both sexes, cellular changes were generally more pronounced in females.ConclusionsThese data demonstrate that the gut peptide PYY is critical for the control of bone remodeling. This regulatory axis from the intestine to bone has the potential to contribute to the marked bone loss observed in situations of extreme weight loss and higher circulating PYY levels, such as anorexia and bariatric obesity surgery, and may be important in the maintenance of bone mass in the general population.

Peptide YY is critical for acylethanolamine receptor Gpr119-induced activation of gastrointestinal mucosal responses.

Project description:Peptide YY (PYY) is released following food intake and regulates intestinal function and glucose homeostasis, but the mechanisms underpinning these processes are unclear. Enteroendocrine L cells contain PYY and express the acylethanolamine receptor, Gpr119. Here, we show that Gpr119 activation inhibited epithelial electrolyte secretion in human and mouse colon in a glucose-sensitive manner. Endogenous PYY selectively mediated these effects, since PYY(-/-) mice showed no Gpr119 response, but responses were observed in NPY(-/-) mice. Importantly, Gpr119 responses in wild-type (WT) mouse tissue and human colon were abolished by Y(1) receptor antagonism, but were not enhanced by dipeptidylpeptidase IV blockade, indicating that PYY processing to PYY(3-36) was not important. In addition, Gpr119 agonism reduced glycemic excursions after oral glucose delivery to WT mice but not PYY(-/-) mice. Taken together, these data demonstrate a previously unrecognized role of PYY in mediating intestinal Gpr119 activity and an associated function in controlling glucose tolerance.

Peripheral peptide YY inhibits propulsive colonic motor function through Y2 receptor in conscious mice.

Project description:Peptide YY (PYY) antisecretory effect on intestinal epithelia is well established, whereas less is known about its actions to influence colonic motility in conscious animals. We characterized changes in basal function and stimulated colonic motor function induced by PYY-related peptides in conscious mice. PYY(3-36), PYY, and neuropeptide Y (NPY) (8 nmol/kg) injected intraperitoneally inhibited fecal pellet output (FPO) per hour during novel environment stress by 90%, 63%, and 57%, respectively, whereas the Y(1)-preferring agonists, [Pro(34)]PYY and [Leu(31),Pro(34)]NPY, had no effect. Corticotrophin-releasing factor 2 receptor antagonist did not alter PYY(3-36) inhibitory action. PYY and PYY(3-36) significantly reduced restraint-stimulated defecation, and PYY(3-36) inhibited high-amplitude distal colonic contractions in restrained conscious mice for 1 h, by intraluminal pressure with the use of a microtransducer. PYY suppression of intraperitoneal 5-hydroxytryptophan induced FPO and diarrhea was blocked by the Y(2) antagonist, BIIE0246, injected intraperitoneally and mimicked by PYY(3-36), but not [Leu(31),Pro(34)]NPY. PYY(3-36) also inhibited bethanechol-stimulated FPO and diarrhea. PYY(3-36) inhibited basal FPO during nocturnal feeding period and light phase in fasted/refed mice for 2-3 h, whereas the reduction of food intake lasted for only 1 h. PYY(3-36) delayed gastric emptying after fasting-refeeding by 48% and distal colonic transit time by 104%, whereas [Leu(31),Pro(34)]NPY had no effect. In the proximal and distal colon, higher Y(2) mRNA expression was detected in the mucosa than in muscle layers, and Y(2) immunoreactivity was located in nerve terminals around myenteric neurons. These data established that PYY/PYY(3-36) potently inhibits basal and stress/serotonin/cholinergic-stimulated propulsive colonic motor function in conscious mice, likely via Y(2) receptors.

Mitogen-induced B-cell proliferation activates Chk2-dependent G1/S cell cycle arrest.

Project description:B-cell activation and proliferation can be induced by a variety of extracellular stimuli. The fate of an activated B cell following mitogen stimulation can be dictated by the strength or duration of the signal, the expression of downstream signaling components necessary to promote proliferation, and the cell intrinsic sensors and regulators of the proliferative program. Previously we have identified the DNA damage response (DDR) signaling pathway as a cell intrinsic sensor that is activated upon latent infection of primary human B cells by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Here we have assessed the role of the DDR as a limiting factor in the proliferative response to non-viral B-cell mitogens. We report that TLR9 activation through CpG-rich oligonucleotides induced B-cell hyper-proliferation and an ATM/Chk2 downstream signaling pathway. However, B-cell activation through the CD40 pathway coupled with interleukin-4 (IL-4) promoted proliferation less robustly and only a modest DDR. These two mitogens, but not EBV, modestly induced intrinsic apoptosis that was independent from the DDR. However, all three mitogens triggered a DDR-dependent G1/S phase cell cycle arrest preventing B-cell proliferation. The extent of G1/S arrest, as evidenced by release through Chk2 inhibition, correlated with B-cell proliferation rates. These findings have implications for the regulation of extra-follicular B-cell activation as it may pertain to the development of auto-immune diseases or lymphoma.

Gut Microbiota-Produced Tryptamine Activates an Epithelial G-Protein-Coupled Receptor to Increase Colonic Secretion.

Project description:Tryptamine, a tryptophan-derived monoamine similar to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), is produced by gut bacteria and is abundant in human and rodent feces. However, the physiologic effect of tryptamine in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract remains unknown. Here, we show that the biological effects of tryptamine are mediated through the 5-HT4 receptor (5-HT4R), a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) uniquely expressed in the colonic epithelium. Tryptamine increases both ionic flux across the colonic epithelium and fluid secretion in colonoids from germ-free (GF) and humanized (ex-GF colonized with human stool) mice, consistent with increased intestinal secretion. The secretory effect of tryptamine is dependent on 5-HT4R activation and is blocked by 5-HT4R antagonist and absent in 5-HT4R-/- mice. GF mice colonized by Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron engineered to produce tryptamine exhibit accelerated GI transit. Our study demonstrates an aspect of host physiology under control of a bacterial metabolite that can be exploited as a therapeutic modality. VIDEO ABSTRACT.

Wounding sheets of epithelial cells activates the epidermal growth factor receptor through distinct short- and long-range mechanisms.

Project description:Wounding epithelia induces activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which is absolutely required for induction of motility. ATP is released from cells after wounding; it binds to purinergic receptors on the cell surface, and the EGFR is subsequently activated. Exogenous ATP activates phospholipase D, and we show here that ATP activates the EGFR through the phospholipase D2 isoform. The EGFR is activated in cells far (>0.3 cm) from wounds, which is mediated by diffusion of extracellular ATP because activation at a distance from wounds is abrogated by eliminating ATP in the medium with apyrase. In sharp contrast, activation of the EGFR near wounds is not sensitive to apyrase. Time-lapse microscopy revealed that cells exhibit increased motilities near edges of wounds; this increase in motility is not sensitive to apyrase, and apyrase does not detectably inhibit healing of wounds in epithelial sheets. This novel ATP/PLD2-independent pathway activates the EGFR by a transactivation process through ligand release, and it involves signaling by a member of the Src family of kinases. We conclude that wounding activates two distinct signaling pathways that induce EGFR activation and promote healing of wounds in epithelial cells. One pathway signals at a distance from wounds through release of ATP, and another pathway acts locally and is independent on ATP signaling.

Visceral hyperalgesia caused by peptide YY deletion and Y2 receptor antagonism.

Project description:Altered levels of colonic peptide YY (PYY) have been reported in patients suffering from functional and inflammatory bowel disorders. While the involvement of neuropeptide Y (NPY) and Y receptors in the regulation of nociception is well established, the physiological role of PYY in somatic and visceral pain is poorly understood. In this work, the role of PYY in pain sensitivity was evaluated using PYY knockout (PYY(-/-)) mice and Y2 receptor ligands. PYY(-/-) mice were more sensitive to somatic thermal pain compared to wild type (WT) mice. Visceral pain was assessed by evaluating pain-related behaviors, mouse grimace scale (MGS) and referred hyperalgesia after intrarectal administration of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC, 1 or 2%) or its vehicle, peanut oil. The pain-related behaviors induced by AITC were significantly exaggerated by PYY deletion, whereas the MGS readout and the referred hyperalgesia were not significantly affected. The Y2 receptor antagonist, BII0246, increased pain-related behaviors in response to intrarectal AITC compared to vehicle treatment while the Y2 receptor agonist, PYY(3-36), did not have a significant effect. These results indicate that endogenous PYY has a hypoalgesic effect on somatic thermal and visceral chemical pain. The effect on visceral pain seems to be mediated by peripheral Y2 receptors.

Interleukin-1 activates a novel protein kinase that phosphorylates the epidermal-growth-factor receptor peptide T669.

Project description:We have isolated from KB cells stimulated with interleukin-1 (IL-1) a protein kinase that phosphorylates a peptide (T669) based on the sequence around T669 of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor. The enzyme, which had an apparent molecular mass of 45 kDa on gel-filtration chromatography, was purified 170,000-fold from cytosolic extracts by sequential chromatography on Mono Q, Mono S, phenyl-Sepharose, Superose 12, ATP-Sepharose and Mono Q. The enzyme activity co-chromatographed at the last step with a 45 kDa protein band that stained for phosphotyrosine. This peak fraction also contained some actin and a 60 kDa protein that stained weakly for phosphotyrosine. The T669 peptide is a substrate for mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase. Amounts of IL-1-induced T669 kinase and activated recombinant p42 MAP kinase having equal activity on T669 peptide were compared on commonly used MAP kinase substrates. T669 kinase was two or three orders of magnitude less active on myelin basic protein or microtubule-associated protein-2 than was MAP kinase. The IL-1-induced T669 kinase did not react with antiserum to p42/p44 MAP kinase. It was inactivated by treatment with protein phosphatase 2A or protein phosphotyrosine phosphatase 1B, so it may be regulated by dual phosphorylation in similar fashion to MAP kinase. The dephosphorylated enzyme was not re-activated by MAP kinase kinase. This novel enzyme could lie on a kinase cascade induced by IL-1. It may be responsible for phosphorylating T669 of the EGF receptor.
