The intracellular signaling pathways responsible for cell cycle arrest and establishment of differentiated cells along the gut axis remain largely unknown. In the present study, we analyzed the regulation of p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in the process of proliferation and differentiation of human intestinal cells. In vitro studies were done in Caco-2/15 cells, a human colon cancer cell line that spontaneously differentiates into an enterocyte phenotype. In vivo studies were performed on cryostat sections of human fetal intestinal epithelium by indirect immunofluorescence. We found that inhibition of the p42/p44 MAPK signaling by the PD-98059 compound or by ectopic expression of the MAPK phosphatase-1 strongly attenuated E2F-dependent transcriptional activity in Caco-2/15 cells. p42/p44 MAPK activities dramatically decreased as soon as Caco-2/15 cells reached confluence. However, significant levels of activated p42 MAPK were detected in differentiated Caco-2/15 cells. Addition of PD-98059 during differentiation interfered with sustained activation of p42 MAPK and sucrase-isomaltase expression. Although p42/p44 MAPKs were expressed in both the villus tip and crypt cells, their phosphorylated and active forms were detected in the undifferentiated crypt cells. Our results indicate that elevated p42/p44 MAPK activities stimulate cell proliferation of intestinal cells, whereas low sustained levels of MAPK activities correlated with G1 arrest and increased expression of sucrase-isomaltase.
