摘要

Lactoferrin (Lf) is a major iron-binding protein in breast milk. Multiple functions of Lf, such as positive regulation of intestinal proliferation, appear dependent upon the iron-saturation of Lf and are postulated to be mediated through Lf internalization by a Lf receptor (LfR). However, mechanisms by which LfR mediates Lf internalization and stimulation of proliferation in enterocytes are unknown.;We now demonstrate that a LfR mediates Lf endocytosis in a human enterocyte model (Caco-2 cells). LfR was detected at the plasma membrane by cell surface biotinylation; both apo-Lf and holo-Lf uptake were significantly inhibited in cells transfected with LfR siRNA. Hypertonic and cytochalasin D treatments indicate that LfR regulates Lf endocytosis via clathrin-mediated endocytosis rather than macropinocytosis. The role of clathrin in LfR mediated Lf endocytosis was confirmed by clathrin siRNA and co-immunoprecipitation of LfR with clathrin adaptor AP2.;We next hypothesized that Lf stimulates proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells by activating ERK and PI3K signaling cascades and that LfR is involved. Mouse crypt cells were isolated from 7-10 days old pups. Confocal microscopy showed that LfR is expressed and localized at the plasma membrane of crypt cells, specifically binding both iron-free Lf (apo-Lf) and iron-saturated Lf (holo-Lf). Our results showed that apo-Lf but not holo-Lf initiated ERK1/2 signaling by ERK1/2 phosphorylation and both apo- and holo-Lf were capable of activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Function-blocking antibody against LfR and LfR siRNA inhibited activation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway but not the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway by apo-Lf, suggesting that LfR is involved in initiation of the ERK1/2 but not the PI3K signaling pathway. Thus, apo-Lf and holo-Lf stimulate intestinal proliferation but through various signaling pathways.;The important role of LfR in Lf endocytosis and signaling transduction focused our interest in transcription regulation of LfR. Therefore, the promoter region of the LfR gene was cloned and characterized. Neither a TATA box nor a CCAAT box is found at the typical positions. The transcription start site was identified as 298 bp upstream of the translation start codon (+1) by 5' RLM-RACE. The transfection assays demonstrated a fragment of -299/+63 sufficient for eliciting maximal promoter activity in transiently transfected Caco-2 cells, in which two Sp1 binding sites play critical roles in transcriptional regulation of the LfR gene.
