Mechanisms of intestinal adaptation

Abstract: Following loss of functional small bowel surface area due to surgical resection for therapy of Crohn’s disease, ischemia, trauma or other disorders, the remnant gut undergoes a morphometric and functional compensatory adaptive response which has been best characterized in preclinical models. Increased crypt cell proliferation results in increased villus height, crypt depth and villus hyperplasia, accompanied by increased nutrient, fluid and electrolyte absorption. Clinical observations suggest that functional … Show more

“…14,37,38 Villous atrophy might be caused by either an increased rate of cell loss or a reduced rate of cell renewal, and increased crypt cell proliferation results in increased villus height, crypt depth and villus hyperplasia. 39 Furthermore, the proliferation (PCNA) and apoptosis (TUNEL) of epithelium was observed. The number of PCNA positive cells in both SD and CH mice was significantly decreased compared to control animals, and that of CH+SD animals was significantly decreased compared to SD animals.…”

“…Resection of the stomach antrum decreases gastric acid secretion 103,104 and loss of absorptive surface in the duodenum and proximal jejunum reduces access to nutrient transporters 105 . At the same time, the adaptive response to changes in the anatomy result in growth of the remaining small intestine, similar to the adaptation of the gut that occurs after resection of the intestine, referred to as short gut syndrome 106 . The result of these changes is an increase the absorption of some nutrients but not others after RYGB 107 .…”

“…As aforementioned changes in gut anatomy, accompanied by intestinal hyperplasia 106,108 lead to changes in macronutrient absorption. Over the long term, the gut retains or enhances its ability to absorb glucose 109 , fatty acids 110 and amino acids 111,112 .…”

“…Short gut syndrome is a morbid clinical condition that follows a massive small bowel resection (SBR) required to treat several pediatric conditions such as necrotizing enterocolitis, midgut volvulus, and intestinal atresias (1) Intestinal adaptation is the response to massive SBR and is characterized by structural increases in crypt depth and villus height resulting in increased absorptive and digestive mucosal surface area (2, 3). The exact mechanisms for adaptation are incompletely understood and continues to be an area of research with the intent to achieve enteral autonomy in short gut patients.…”
