  2. a) Normal b) Atrophy

  3. Specific regulation of gut mucosal growth • Gut mucosa is affected by its own set of hormones such as gastrin, EGF, and CCK • The mucosa is exposed to a variety of luminal constituents and factors

  4. Polyamines • Polyamines are organic cations found in all eukaryotic cells • Polyamines are intimately involved in, and required for, distinct biological functions • To be required for cell proliferation • To induce cell migration • To stabilize cell membrane • To be involved in apoptosis • To modulate membrane channel activity

  5. Polyamine Biosynthesis Hormones DFMO - + Growthfactors Antizyme Nutrients DN-ODC Damage CO2 + NH3 + - H3N O Ornithine O Ornithine decarboxylase + + H3N NH3 Putrescine H H + + + N H3N NH3 Spermidine H H + + H3N N + N NH3 + H H Spermine

  6. Polyamines and Gastrointestinal mucosal growth • GI mucosal growth depends on the supply of polyamines to the dividing cells in the crypts • Polyamines are essential for stimulation of IEC proliferation, at least in part, by inhibiting expression of p53 and nucleophosmin (NPM) genes • Decreasing cellular polyamines induces posttranscription, but not transcription, of p53 and NPM

  13. HuR protein • HuR is a RNA-binding protein and regulates the stability and translation of target mRNAs • HuR is predominantly (>90%) present in the nucleus of unstimulated cells, but can be exported to the cytoplasm in response to stress • HuR specifically binds to U- and UA-rich elements located in the 3’-untranslated regions (3’-UTRs) of target mRNAs

  25. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and importin-1 • AMPK is an enzyme involved in responding to metabolic stress • Recently, AMPK is shown to induce an accumulation of nuclear HuR • The effect of AMPK on HuR nuclear translocation is mediated through importin-1 , an adaptor protein involved in nuclear import
