Paneth cells in small intestine crypts secrete
microbicidal -defensins, termed cryptdins, as components of enteric
innate immunity. The bactericidal activity of cryptdins requires
proteolytic activation of precursors by matrix metalloproteinase-7
(MMP-7; matrilysin) (Wilson, C. L., Ouellette, A. J.,
Satchell, D. P., Ayabe, T., Lopez-Boado, Y. S., Stratman,
J. L., Hultgren, S. J., Matrisian, L. M., and Parks,
W. C. (1999) Science 286, 113-117). Here, we report
on the intracellular processing of cryptdin proforms in mouse Paneth
cells. Peptide sequencing of MMP-7 digests of purified natural
procryptdins identified conserved cleavage sites in the proregion
between Ser43 and Val44 as well as at the
cryptdin peptide N terminus between Ser58 and
Leu59. Immunostaining co-localized precursor prosegments
and mature cryptdin peptides to Paneth cell granules, providing
evidence of their secretion. Extensive MMP-7-dependent
procryptdin processing occurs in Paneth cells, as shown by Western blot
analyses of intestinal crypt proteins and proteins from
granule-enriched subcellular fractions. The addition of soluble
prosegments to in vitro antimicrobial peptide assays
inhibited the bactericidal activities of cryptdin-3 and -4 in
trans, suggesting possible cytoprotective effects by prosegments prior to secretion. Levels of activated cryptdins were
normal in small bowel of germ-free mice and in sterile implants of
fetal mouse small intestine grown subcutaneously. Thus, the initiation
of procryptdin processing by MMP-7 does not require direct bacterial
exposure, and the basal MMP-7 content of germ-free Paneth cells is
sufficient to process and activate -defensin precursors.
MMP-7-dependent procryptdin activation in vivo
provides mouse Paneth cells with functional peptides for apical
secretion into the small intestine lumen.
