Enterocyte loss of polarity and gut wound healing rely upon the F-actin–severing function of villin

Abstract: Significance Intestinal epithelium damage is common but becomes recurrent in chronic intestinal disorders. Healing implies cell migration, which necessitates extensive cellular reorganization. We demonstrate that intestinal epithelial cells completely disassemble their apical actin-based microvilli upon migration, and we identify the protein villin and its actin-severing function as responsible for this physiological process. We show that this apical pole effacement is required for the acquisition of… Show more

“…Both TGFβ1 and TFF3 have been reported to play important roles in protecting intestinal mucosa and prompting reconstruction of damaged mucosa[39]. Viliin, which is an actin-binding protein expressed in microvilli of the intestine, has also been proposed to be involved in colonic wound repair by remodeling of actin filaments in microvilli[40,41]. Moreover, the cysteine-rich domain of MUC3 has been shown to promote cell migration and improve wound healing of the colonic mucosa[42].…”

“…Many opportunities exist to apply GLP-2 as a pre or postinfection therapeutic for infection, including GLP-2's effects on increasing mucin production, villus length, and tight junction protein expression to defend against parasitic invasion, as well as reducing nitro-oxidative stress, improving gut healing, and enhancing expression and activity of brush-border enzymes impacted by C parvum infection. Of particular interest, GLP-2 treatment of cultured GLP-2R-expressing cells has been shown to reduce F-actin abundance and alter its distribution within the cytoskeleton, a process associated with cellular proliferation [114] and required for enterocyte microvillus depolarization and remodeling during intestinal healing [115]. Therefore, there is the potential for GLP-2 pre-treatment to impair C parvum's ability to induce actin polymerization, which is required for envelopment by host epithelial cells [116].…”

“…Mice lacking IEC PPARγ were generated by crossing the transgenic mouse expressing Cre recombinase under control of the villin1. Because villin 1 is found in epithelial cells of the large and small intestine (23), these mice lack PPARγ throughout the intestine. We have not investigated other areas of the bowel in our model.…”
