-Trypsin Inhibitor Is Crucial to Structure and Function

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disorder whose etiology is linked to triggering events, including viral infections, that lead to immunoregulatory dysfunction in genetically susceptible people. Characteristic pathological changes include increased mononuclear leukocyte influx into the intestinal mucosa as well as mucosal smooth muscle cell (M-SMC) hyperplasia. Virus infection or viral mimic [polyinosinic acid:polycytidylic acid (polyI:C)] treatment of human colon M-SMCs in vitro increases cell surface hyaluronan (HA), and nonactivated mononuclear leukocytes bind to virus-induced HA structures by interactions that involve the HA-binding receptor CD44. In this study, confocal microscopy reveals increased HA on poly I:C-treated M-SMC surfaces within 3 hours, arrayed in coat-like structures. By 17 hours, novel, lengthy cable structures are evident, and these are primarily responsible for mediating leukocyte adhesion. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrates components of the inter-
-trypsin inhibitor (I
I) complex in both coat-like and cable structures. M-SMCs co-treated with polyI:C and a polyclonal antibody to I
I display HA in coats but with diminished cables, and they bind significantly fewer leukocytes than M-SMCs treated with polyI:C alone. Western blot data suggest that heavy chains of I
I are specifically associated with cable structures. Staining of tissue sections from patients with IBD demonstrates the presence of HA in inflamed colon tissue, and shows that HA-associated I
I staining increases in the mucosa of inflamed IBD specimens compared to noninflamed sections from the same patient, establishing a probable link between the observations in vitro and the progression of the inflammatory process in IBD.
