Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Throughout life, the intestinal epithelium undergoes constant self-renewal from intestinal stem cells. Together with genotoxic stressors and failing DNA repair, this self-renewal causes susceptibility toward malignant transformation. X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) is a stress sensor involved in the unfolded protein response (UPR). We hypothesized that XBP1 acts as a signaling hub to regulate epithelial DNA damage responses. METHODS Data from The Cancer Genome Atlas were analyzed for association of XBP1 with colorectal cancer (CRC) survival and molecular interactions between XBP1 and p53 pathway activity. The role of XBP1 in orchestrating p53-driven DNA damage response was tested in vitro in mouse models of chronic intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) DNA damage (Xbp1/H2bfl/fl, Xbp1ΔIEC, H2bΔIEC, H2b/Xbp1ΔIEC) and via orthotopic tumor organoid transplantation. Transcriptome analysis of intestinal organoids was performed to identify molecular targets of Xbp1-mediated DNA damage response. RESULTS In The Cancer Genome Atlas data set of CRC, low XBP1 expression was significantly associated with poor overall survival and reduced p53 pathway activity. In vivo, H2b/Xbp1ΔIEC mice developed spontaneous intestinal carcinomas. Orthotopic tumor organoid transplantation revealed a metastatic potential of H2b/Xbp1ΔIEC-derived tumors. RNA sequencing of intestinal organoids (H2b/Xbp1fl/fl, H2bΔIEC, H2b/Xbp1ΔIEC, and H2b/p53ΔIEC) identified a transcriptional program downstream of p53, in which XBP1 directs DNA-damage-inducible transcript 4-like (Ddit4l) expression. DDIT4L inhibits mechanistic target of rapamycin-mediated phosphorylation of 4E-binding protein 1. Pharmacologic mechanistic target of rapamycin inhibition suppressed epithelial hyperproliferation via 4E-binding protein 1. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest a crucial role for XBP1 in coordinating epithelial DNA damage responses and stem cell function via a p53-DDIT4L-dependent feedback mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Colonization by gut microbiota in early life confers beneficial effects on immunity throughout the host's lifespan. We sought to elucidate the mechanisms whereby neonatal supplementation with p40, a probiotic functional factor, reprograms intestinal epithelial cells for protection against adult-onset intestinal inflammation. METHODS p40 was used to treat young adult mouse colonic (YAMC) epithelial cells with and without deletion of a methyltransferase, su(var)3-9, enhancer-of-zeste and trithorax domain-containing 1β (Setd1β), and mice in early life or in adulthood. Anti-transforming growth factor β (TGFβ)-neutralizing antibodies were administered to adult mice with and without colitis induced by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid or dextran sulfate sodium. We examined Setd1b and Tgfb gene expression, TGFβ production, monomethylation and trimethylation of histone H3 on the lysine 4 residue (H3K4me1/3), H3K4me3 enrichment in Tgfb promoter, differentiation of regulatory T cells (Tregs), and the inflammatory status. RESULTS p40 up-regulated expression of Setd1b in YAMC cells. Accordingly, p40 enhanced H3K4me1/3 in YAMC cells in a Setd1β-dependent manner. p40-regulated Setd1β mediated programming the TGFβ locus into a transcriptionally permissive chromatin state and promoting TGFβ production in YAMC. Furthermore, transient exposure to p40 during the neonatal period and in adulthood resulted in the immediate increase in Tgfb gene expression. However, only neonatal p40 supplementation induced the sustained H3K4me1/3 and Tgfb gene expression that persisted into adulthood. Interfering with TGFβ function by neutralizing antibodies diminished the long-lasting effects of neonatal p40 supplementation on differentiation of Tregs and protection against colitis in adult mice. CONCLUSIONS Exposure to p40 in early life enables an epigenetic imprint on TGFβ, leading to long-lasting production of TGFβ by intestinal epithelial cells to expand Tregs and protect the gut against inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a major pathogenic effector and a therapeutic target in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), yet the basis for TNF-induced intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) death is unknown, because TNF does not kill normal IECs. Here, we investigated how chronic nuclear factor (NF)- κB activation, which occurs in human IBD, promotes TNF-dependent IEC death in mice. METHODS Human IBD specimens were stained for p65 and cleaved caspase-3. C57BL/6 mice with constitutively active IKKβ in IEC (Ikkβ(EE)IEC), Ripk1D138N/D138N knockin mice, and Ripk3-/- mice were injected with TNF or lipopolysaccharide. Enteroids were also isolated from these mice and challenged with TNF with or without RIPK1 and RIPK3 inhibitors or butylated hydroxyanisole. Ripoptosome-mediated caspase-8 activation was assessed by immunoprecipitation. RESULTS NF-κB activation in human IBD correlated with appearance of cleaved caspase-3. Congruently, unlike normal mouse IECs that are TNF-resistant, IECs in Ikkβ(EE)IEC mice and enteroids were susceptible to TNF-dependent apoptosis, which depended on the protein kinase function of RIPK1. Constitutively active IKKβ facilitated ripoptosome formation, a RIPK1 signaling complex that mediates caspase-8 activation by TNF. Butylated hydroxyanisole treatment and RIPK1 inhibitors attenuated TNF-induced and ripoptosome-mediated caspase-8 activation and IEC death in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSIONS Contrary to common expectations, chronic NF-κB activation induced intestinal crypt apoptosis after TNF stimulation, resulting in severe mucosal erosion. RIPK1 kinase inhibitors selectively inhibited TNF destructive properties while preserving its survival and proliferative properties, which do not require RIPK1 kinase activity. RIPK1 kinase inhibition could be a potential treatment for IBD.

Abstract
In patients with celiac disease, gluten consumption causes inflammation of the duodenum, and, to a lesser extent, the proximal jejunum. Immune-dominant gluten peptides are modified by the enzyme TG2, leading to their high-affinity binding to HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 molecules, present in people with a predisposition to celiac disease. Gluten peptide-loaded HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 molecules are recognized by highly conserved receptors on CD4(+) T cells in the lamina propria. B cells specific for TG2 and modified gluten peptides are also abundant in the lamina propria of patients with celiac disease. In the epithelium, interleukin-15 activates intraepithelial lymphocytes that promote destruction of epithelial cells. However, it is not clear how the immune responses in the lamina propria and the epithelium, separated by a basement membrane, are linked. We review the immune processes that occur in the lamina propria and their potential effects on epithelial pathology in celiac disease.

Abstract
Zinc supplementation is used to reduce diarrhea incidence in piglets and it has been shown in vitro that the antisecretory effects are maximal after basolateral zinc application. To examine whether the application site and dose of zinc also influence passive ion permeability and viability, porcine (IPEC-J2) and human (Caco-2) intestinal epithelial cells were treated with increasing zinc concentrations (0-200 μM) at either the apical or basolateral side. Transepithelial electrical resistance and viability decreased and expression of metallothionein and the efflux zinc transporter 1 increased most prominently when zinc was added in high concentrations at the basolateral side of IPEC-J2 cells. Zinc transporter 4, a zinc importer, was not affected. Heat shock protein 70 mRNA expression increased only after basolateral addition of 200 μM zinc in IPEC-J2 cells. Thus, zinc can elicit toxic effects especially when added at the basolateral side, with IPEC-J2 cells being more susceptible than Caco-2 cells.
