Mucosal damage induces a massive influx of serum complement
components into the lumen. The epithelium produces a number of factors
that can potentially ameliorate injury including intestinal trefoil
factor (ITF), a small protease-resistant peptide produced and secreted
onto the mucosal surface by goblet cells, and decay-accelerating factor
(DAF), a protein produced by columnar epithelium which protects the
host tissue from autologous complement injury. However, coordination of
these intrinsic defensive products has not been delineated. DAF protein
and mRNA expression were evaluated by immunoblotting and Northern
blotting, respectively. NF-
B-DNA binding activity and DAF promoter
activity were assessed by an electrophoretic gel mobility shift assay
and a reporter gene luciferase assay, respectively. ITF induced a dose-
and time-dependent increase in DAF protein and mRNA expression in human
(HT-29 and T84) and rat (IEC-6) intestinal epithelial cells. In
differentiated T84 cells grown on cell culture inserts, basolateral
stimulation with ITF strongly enhanced DAF expression, but apical
stimulation had no effects. The C3 deposition induced by complement
activation was significantly blocked by the treatment with ITF. In
HT-29 cells, ITF increased the stability of DAF mRNA. ITF also enhanced
the promoter activity of the DAF gene via NF-
B motif and induced
activation of NF-
B-DNA binding activity. ITF promotes protection of
epithelial cells from complement activation via up-regulation of DAF
expression, contributing to a robust mucosal
defense.
