Abstract
- Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) play an important role in tissue repair after injury. A recent report delineates the effect of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) infection on the small intestine of recovered pigs. However, the mechanism behind the epithelium regeneration upon TGEV infection remains unclear. To address this, we established a TGEV infection model based on the porcine intestinal organoid monolayer. The results illustrated that the porcine intestinal organoid monolayer was susceptible to TGEV. In addition, the TGEV infection initiated the interferon and inflammatory responses following the loss of absorptive enterocytes and goblet cells. However, TGEV infection did not disturb epithelial integrity but induced the proliferation of ISCs. Furthermore, TGEV infection activated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway by upregulating the accumulation and nuclear translocation of β-catenin, as well as promoting the expression of Wnt target genes, such as C-myc, Cyclin D1, Mmp7, Lgr5, and Sox9, which were associated with the selfrenewal of ISCs. Collectively, these data demonstrated that the TGEV infection activated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway to promote the self-renewal of ISCs and resulted in intestinal epithelium regeneration.
