From the Apolipoprotein B mRNA editing is
developmentally regulated in the human and rodent small intestine,
changing from <1% at day 14 to ~90% by day 20 in the rat fetus.
This regulation is coincident with the developmental formation of the
crypt-to-villus axis functional unit, a continuous and rapidly renewing
system involving cell generation, migration, and differentiation.
Utilizing small intestine isografts implanted into the subcutaneous
tissue of adult recipients, apolipoprotein B mRNA editing
was developmentally up-regulated, parallel to that seen with an intact
control. In contrast, apoB mRNA expression remains nearly constant
in the isograft, unlike the normal intact small intestine.
Immunohistochemical analyses demonstrated that apoB-48 protein existed
predominantly in well differentiated enterocytes along the villus
surface whereas apoB-100 was in the lamina propria and crypts. ApoB
mRNA editing levels were very low in the crypt-like rat intestinal
cell line, IEC-6 (~0.3%), but very high in well differentiated
enterocytes (~91.5%). The expression of homeobox gene Cdx1 increased
18-fold in small intestine in vivo during the same time
course when apoB mRNA editing increased from ~2 to ~90%. The
overexpression of Cdx1 in IEC-6 cells increased apoB mRNA editing
over 10-fold compared with the vector control. This increase was
associated with a significant increase of activating factor ACF,
a component of the apoB mRNA editing complex. Taken together, these
data suggest that the developmental regulation of apoB mRNA editing
is an autonomous cytodifferentiation function of small intestine for
which homeobox gene Cdx1 may play an important role.
