Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) F4 causes diarrhea in infants and weaned piglets. The technique of isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) was used in this study to determine the differentially expressed proteins in porcine intestinal epithelial cells (IPEC-J2) after pretreatment with Lactobacillus plantarum (LP) followed by challenge with ETEC F4. A total of 4771 proteins were identified in IPEC-J2 cells, with 90, 105, and 134 differentially expressed proteins in cells exposed to ETEC, LP, and LP + ETEC, respectively. The COG analysis divided the identified proteins into 20 categories. The GO and KEGG annotation indicated that most of the differentially expressed proteins were enriched in various biological metabolism including cell cycle control, cell division and differentiation. Additionally, western blotting analyses confirmed the reduced abundance of selected proteins of the mTOR and MAPK signal pathways affected by ETEC F4. Moreover, LP pretreatment increased JNK activation in IPEC-J2 cells infected with ETEC F4. These results may provide further insights into the mechanisms involved in the interaction between ETEC F4 and intestinal epithelial cells, and broaden the understanding of the protective effects of LP in alleviating ETEC-provoked diarrhea of piglets.

Background: Bacterial toxins are emerging as promising hallmarks of colorectal cancer (CRC) pathogenesis. In particular, Cytotoxic Necrotizing Factor 1 (CNF1) from E. coli deserves special consideration due to the significantly higher prevalence of this toxin gene in CRC patients with respect to healthy subjects, and to the numerous tumor-promoting effects that have been ascribed to the toxin in vitro.

Epithelia are multicellular sheets that form barriers defining the internal and external environments. The constant stresses acting at this interface require that epithelial sheets are mechanically robust and provide a selective barrier to the hostile exterior. These properties are mediated by cellular junctions which are physically linked with heavily crosslinked cytoskeletal networks.

Aspartate (Asp) metabolism-mediated antioxidant functions have important implications for neonatal growth and intestinal health; however, the antioxidant mechanisms through which Asp regulates the gut microbiota and influences RIP activation remain elusive. This study reports that chronic oxidative stress disrupts gut microbiota and metabolite balance and that such imbalance is intricately tied to the perturbation of Asp metabolism. Under normal conditions, in vivo and in vitro studies reveal that exogenous Asp improves intestinal health by regulating epithelial cell proliferation, nutrient uptake, and apoptosis.

Background And Aims: Protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 23 (PTPN23) regulates the internalization of growth factor receptors such as the epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR). Given the crucial function of such receptors in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), we assessed the involvement of PTPN23 in intestinal homeostasis and epithelial proliferation.
Methods: We generated mouse models with constitutive (PTPN23fl/flVilCre+/-) or inducible (PTPN23fl/flVilCreERT+/-) deletion of PTPN23 in IEC.
