Cutting,4 Rivka Ofir,1 Sara Sivan,1 and Ohad S. Birk1,5,* Meconium ileus, intestinal obstruction in the newborn, is caused in most cases by CFTR mutations modulated by yet-unidentified modi- fier genes. We now show that in two unrelated consanguineous Bedouin kindreds, an autosomal-recessive phenotype of meconium ileus that is not associated with cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by different homozygous mutations in GUCY2C, leading to a dramatic reduction or fully abrogating the enzymatic activity of the encoded guanlyl cyclase 2C. GUCY2C is a transmembrane receptor whose extracellular domain is activated by either the endogenous ligands, guanylin and related peptide uroguanylin, or by an external ligand, Escherichia coli (E. coli) heat-stable enterotoxin STa. GUCY2C is expressed in the human intestine, and the encoded protein activates the CFTR protein through local generation of cGMP. Thus, GUCY2C is a likely candidate modifier of the meconium ileus phenotype in CF. Because GUCY2C heterozygous and homozygous mutant mice are resistant to E. coli STa enterotoxin-induced diarrhea, it is plausible that GUCY2C mutations in the desert-dwelling Bedouin kindred are of selective advantage. Meconium ileus (MI), intestinal obstruction by inspissated homozygosity on chromosome 12p13 (spanning 9.5 Mb meconium in the distal ileum and cecum, develops in between markers D12S366 and D12S310) that was utero and presents shortly after birth as failure to pass common to all affected individuals.

These discoveries have also been instrumental in increasing our understanding of the basic mechanisms that control the electrolyte and water balance in the gut, kidney, and urinary tracts under normal conditions and in disease. Herein, we review the evolution of genes of the guanylin family and STa genes from bacteria to fish and mammals. We also describe new developments and perspectives regarding these novel bacterial compounds and peptide hormones that act in electrolyte and water balance. The available data point toward new therapeutic perspectives for pathological features such as functional gastrointestinal disorders associated with constipation, colorectal cancer, cystic fibrosis, asthma, hypertension, gastrointestinal barrier function damage associated with enteropathy, enteric infection, malnutrition, satiety, food preferences, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and effects on behavior and brain disorders such as attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder, and schizophrenia.

  • A Uroguanylin-GUCY2C Endocrine Axis Regulates Feeding in Mice
    A uroguanylin-GUCY2C endocrine axis regulates feeding in mice Michael A. Valentino, … , Stephanie Schulz, Scott A. Waldman J Clin Invest. 2011;121(9):3578-3588. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI57925. Research Article Intestinal enteroendocrine cells are critical to central regulation of caloric consumption, since they activate hypothalamic circuits that decrease appetite and thereby restrict meal size by secreting hormones in response to nutrients in the gut. Although guanylyl cyclase and downstream cGMP are essential regulators of centrally regulated feeding behavior in invertebrates, the role of this primordial signaling mechanism in mammalian appetite regulation has eluded definition. In intestinal epithelial cells, guanylyl cyclase 2C (GUCY2C) is a transmembrane receptor that makes cGMP in response to the paracrine hormones guanylin and uroguanylin, which regulate epithelial cell dynamics along the crypt-villus axis. Here, we show that silencing of GUCY2C in mice disrupts satiation, resulting in hyperphagia and subsequent obesity and metabolic syndrome. This defined an appetite-regulating uroguanylin-GUCY2C endocrine axis, which we confirmed by showing that nutrient intake induces intestinal prouroguanylin secretion into the circulation. The prohormone signal is selectively decoded in the hypothalamus by proteolytic liberation of uroguanylin, inducing GUCY2C signaling and consequent activation of downstream anorexigenic pathways. Thus, evolutionary diversification of primitive guanylyl cyclase signaling pathways allows GUCY2C to coordinate endocrine regulation of central food acquisition pathways with paracrine control of intestinal homeostasis. Moreover, the uroguanylin-GUCY2C endocrine axis may provide a therapeutic target to control appetite, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.

    SUPPLEMENTAL FIGURE COLON p53 EXONIC STRAND BREAKS DURING FOLATE DEPLETION-REPLETION INTERVENTION Supplemental Figure Legend Strand breaks for p53 exon 6 and 8 among different time course of folate depletion or repletion in the rectosigmoid mucosa. The input of DNA was controlled by GAPDH. The data is shown as ΔCt after normalized to GAPDH. The higher ΔCt the more strand breaks. The P value is shown in the figure. SUPPLEMENT S1 Genes that were significantly UPREGULATED after folate intervention (by unadjusted paired t-test), list is sorted by P value Gene Symbol Nucleotide P VALUE Description OLFM4 NM_006418 0.0000 Homo sapiens differentially expressed in hematopoietic lineages (GW112) mRNA.

Kovacs, Ph.D. NDA 208745 Plecanatide/SP-304 Single PRO items assessing CSBM and SBM stool frequency, stool consistency, and straining; PGA severity and change anchor scales scale from other therapeutic areas and cognitively tested with patients concluding that the response options are generally well-understood and meaningful to patients, with the exception of the “very severe” response option, which some patients believed is redundant and not meaningfully different from “severe.” This reviewer has also reviewed the anchor-based responder definition methods for the pre- specified secondary endpoints.
