Two typical features of small intestinal inflammation are crypt hyperplasia and villus atrophy. One opinion is that the epithelium becomes populated with relatively undifferentiated enterocytes, leading to a net reduction in brush border hydrolases. On the other hand, this paper reports that cytokines directly affect sucrase-isomaltase expression. They survey multiple cytokines and conclude that interleukin-6 and interferon gamma specifically downregulate sucrase-isomaltase; understanding the in vivo relevance of autocrine interleukin-6 in relation to this finding will be interesting.

This may be the first description of interleukin-1β made by small intestinal epithelial cells. The issue of whether contaminating IEL in the cell preparations produced significant levels of interleukin-1β was ruled out by enriching for lymphocytes and showing that the interleukin-1β mRNA signal copurified with the IEL-depleted cell fractions. It is noteworthy that there was no evidence for further increases in interleukin-1β in any tissue later during the infection but that TNF mRNA levels rose steadily in the host spleen.

Unmasking of intestinal epithelial lateral membrane β1 integrin consequent to transepithelial neutrophil migration in vitro facilitates inv-mediated invasion by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Infect Immun 1997, 65:1414-1421. A refreshing perspective with novel insights into the interactions between neutrophils and colon epithelial cells showing an effect of the interaction on the epithelium. The integrins that become exposed because of the neutrophil migration become attachment sites for Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, which can then infect the monolayer. This mechanism may help understand the chronic nature of inflammatory conditions typified by high numbers of neutrophils in the gut.

This paper is concerned with epithelial cells but not from the intestine. It shows that detaching bronchial epithelial cells by a number of means stimulates interleukin-8 production. Deformation following detachment is implicated in the stimulation by controlling cell shape with drugs.

The authors describe the unconventional pattern of IκBα degradation in response to interleukin-1 treatment, in human IEC lines and freshly isolated cells. The pattern of IκBα decay in Caco-2 cells resembled decay in monocytes and differed from all other IECs examined. Less NFκB translocated into the nucleus of IEC, which showed delayed IκBα degradation, but this did not affect interleukin-8 gene expression or protein levels, nor interleukin-1κ gene expression.
