Regulation of CCN1 (Cyr61) in a porcine model of intestinal ischemia/reperfusion

Innate Immunity

Abstract

Intestinal ischemia is a serious condition that may lead to both local and systemic inflammatory responses. Restoration of blood supply (reperfusion) to ischemic tissues often increases the extent of the tissue injury. Cysteine-rich angiogenic inducer 61 (Cyr61)/CCN1 is an extracellular matrix-associated signaling protein that has diverse functions. CCN1 is highly expressed at sites of inflammation and wound repair, and may modify cell responses. This study aimed to investigate regulation and cellular distribution of CCN1 in intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in pigs. After intestinal I/R, increased expression of CCN1 was detected by quantitative RT-PCR, Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry compared with non-ischemic intestine. Immunoflorescence staining revealed that CCN1 was mainly up-regulated in intestinal mucosa after intestinal I/R. Microvillus epithelial cells and vascular endothelial cells were strongly positive for CCN1 in intestinal I/R, while natural killer cells and/or subsets of neutrophils were only modestly positive for CCN1. Furthermore, blood samples taken from the portal and caval veins during ischemia and after reperfusion showed no change of the CCN1 levels, indicating that CCN1 was locall...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
