Abstrakt: Background & Aims: CXADR-like membrane protein (CLMP) is structurally related to coxsackie and adenovirus receptor. Pathogenic variants in CLMP gene have been associated with congenital short bowel syndrome, implying a role for CLMP in intestinal development. However, the contribution of CLMP to regulating gut development and homeostasis is unknown.
Methods: In this study, we investigated CLMP function in the colonic epithelium using complementary in vivo and in vitro approaches, including mice with inducible intestinal epithelial cell (IEC)-specific deletion of CLMP (Clmp ΔIEC ), intestinal organoids, IECs with overexpression, or loss of CLMP and RNA sequencing data from individuals with colorectal cancer.
Results: Loss of CLMP enhanced IEC proliferation and, conversely, CLMP overexpression reduced proliferation. Xenograft experiments revealed increased tumor growth in mice implanted with CLMP-deficient colonic tumor cells, and poor engraftment was observed with CLMP-overexpressing cells. Clmp ΔIEC mice showed exacerbated tumor burden in an azoxymethane and dextran sulfate sodium-induced colonic tumorigenesis model, and CLMP expression was reduced in human colorectal cancer samples. Mechanistic studies revealed that CLMP-dependent regulation of IEC proliferation is linked to signaling through mTOR-Akt-β-catenin pathways.
Conclusions: These results reveal novel insights into CLMP function in the colonic epithelium, highlighting an important role in regulating IEC proliferation, suggesting tumor suppressive function in colon cancer.
