CS? - Intestinal Alkaline Phosphate
Background and aims The intestinal microbiota plays a critical role in maintaining human health; however, the mechanisms governing the normal homeostatic number and composition of these microbes are largely unknown. Previously it was shown that intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP), a small intestinal brush border enzyme, functions as a gut mucosal defence factor limiting the translocation of gut bacteria to mesenteric lymph nodes. In this study the role of IAP in the preservation of the normal homeostasis of the gut microbiota was investigated.
Methods Bacterial culture was performed in aerobic and anaerobic conditions to quantify the number of bacteria in the stools of wild-type (WT) and IAP knockout (IAP-KO) C57BL/6 mice. Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism, phylogenetic analyses and quantitative real-time PCR of subphylum-specific bacterial 16S rRNA genes were used to determine the compositional profiles of microbiotas. Oral supplementation of calf IAP (cIAP) was used to determine its effects on the recovery of commensal gut microbiota after antibiotic treatment and also on the colonisation of pathogenic bacteria.
Results IAP-KO mice had dramatically fewer and also different types of aerobic and anaerobic microbes in their stools compared with WT mice. Oral supplementation of IAP favoured the growth of commensal bacteria, enhanced restoration of gut microbiota lost due to antibiotic treatment and inhibited the growth of a pathogenic bacterium (Salmonella typhimurium).
Conclusions IAP is involved in the maintenance of normal gut microbial homeostasis and may have therapeutic potential against dysbiosis and pathogenic infections.

Intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) is an enterocyte differentiation marker that functions to limit fat absorption. Zinc finger binding protein-89 (ZBP-89) is a Kruppel-type transcription factor that appears to promote a differentiated phenotype in the intestinal epithelium. The purpose of this study was to investigate the regulation of IAP gene expression by ZBP-89. RT-PCR, quantitative real-time RT-PCR, Western blot analyses, and reporter assays were used to determine the regulation of IAP by ZBP-89 in HT-29 and Caco-2 colon cancer cells. ZBP-89 knockdown was achieved by specific short interfering (si)RNA. EMSA and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) were performed to examine the binding of ZBP-89 to the IAP promoter. The results of RT-PCR, quantitative real-time PCR, and Western blot analyses showed that ZBP-89 was expressed at low levels in Caco-2 and HT-29 cells, whereas IAP was minimally expressed and absent in these cells, respectively. Transfection with ZBP-89 expression plamid increased IAP mRNA and protein levels in both cell lines, whereas knockdown of endogenous ZBP-89 by siRNA reduced basal levels of IAP gene expression in Caco-2 cells. IAP-luciferase reporter assays, EMSA, and ChIP established that ZBP-89 activated the IAP gene through a response element (ZBP-89 response element: 5'-CCTCCTCCC-3') located between –1018 and –1010 bp upstream of the AUG start codon. We conclude that ZBP-89 is a direct transcriptional activator of the enterocyte differentiation marker IAP. These findings are consistent with the role that this transcription factor is thought to play as a tumor suppressor and suggests its possible function in the physiology of fat absorption.
Any idea as to how we can regulate or augment ZBP-89?

Haha, I really should have known that, sorry and thanks.
