The effect of exogenous nucleotides on the proliferation and differentiation of enterocytes was comparatively studied using a human colon tumor cell line (Caco-2) and a normal rat small intestinal crypt cell line (IEC-6). Caco-2 cells exhibited more active endogenous nucleic acid metabolism than did IEC-6 cells, as evidenced by greater cellular pools of nucleotides and their metabolites. To determine the supplemental nutritional effect of nucleotides, a mixture containing equal amounts (10 mg/L) of AMP, CMP, IMP, GMP and UMP was added to the culture medium. The results showed that a nucleotide supplement under normal culture conditions did not affect proliferation and differentiation of Caco-2 cells. In contrast, nucleotide supplements under normal culture conditions promoted proliferation of IEC-6 cells. The addition of nucleotides to the culture medium also enhanced differentiation of IEC-6 cells when grown on an extracellular matrix (Matrigel). Furthermore, when glutamine levels were less than optimal (nutritional stress conditions), nucleotide supplements enhanced growth and maturation of both cell lines. We conclude that the de novo biosynthesis of nucleotides is sufficient to support proliferation of tumor Caco-2 cells but not of the normal crypt IEC-6 cells. Thus, nucleotide supplements may enhance normal enterocyte growth and maturation as well as spare the need for exogenous glutamine in cell maintenance and development.
