Prostaglandins and activation of AC/cAMP prevents anoikis in IEC-18

Abstract: Recent data indicates that chronic inflammation of the intestine such as Crohn's or ulcerative colitis puts those individuals at heightened risk for colorectal adenocarcinoma. In this study, we examine the effect of the inflammatory mediator PGE(2) and associated signalling on detachment-induced cell death (anoikis) in intestinal epithelial cells. Treatment of detached IEC-18 with 0.01-0.05 microM PGE(2) increased cell viability as well as induced aggregation. As EP4 prostaglandin receptors on IEC are coupled … Show more

“…We have isolated colonocytes from the normal-appearing margins of human cancer resections and observed these cells rapidly succumb to apoptosis when prepared in single cell suspension. None of the strategies in which we are aware will delay apoptosis of detached IEC-18 in culture (42) work to keep human colonocytes viable, and indeed these cells are refractory to IL-1 and TNF-␣.…”

“…Through generation of PGs, COX-2 regulates diverse biological responses, including cell survival (28,68,71), proliferation (58), and migration (10), that promote homeostasis of the colon epithelial monolayer. COX-2 is thought to be important in IBD, because COX-2 protein expression and PG levels are elevated in the GI tract of IBD patients (32,59,62).…”

“…Functionally, PGE 2 interacts with the four receptor subtypes (EP1-4). EP1 and EP3 primarily contribute to inflammatory responses, whereas EP4 promotes both cell survival and growth by activating antiapoptotic and proliferative cellular signaling pathways (Fujino et al, 2003;Hase et al, 2003;Hoshino et al, 2003;Goulet et al, 2004;Joseph et al, 2005). Moreover, EP4 is constitutively expressed in the colonic epithelium and further induced during IBD, along with PGE 2 (WiercinskaDrapalo et al, 1999;Northey et al, 2000;Takafuji et al, 2000;Nitta et al, 2002).…”
