The gut and liver have been recognized to mutually communicate through the biliary tract, portal vein and systemic circulation, but it remains unclear how this gut-liver axis regulates intestinal physiology. Through hepatectomy, transcriptomics and proteomics profiling, we identified pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), as a liver-derived soluble Wnt inhibitor, that can restrain intestinal stem cells (ISC) hyperproliferation for gut homeostasis by competing with Wnt ligands and suppressing Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. In turn, microbial danger signals from intestinal inflammation can be sensed by the liver to repress PEDF production via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR alpha), liberating ISC proliferation to accelerate tissue repair in the gut. Further, treatment of mice with fenofibrate, a clinical agent of PPARalpha agonist for hypolipidemia enhances the susceptibility of colitis via PEDF activity. Therefore, we identified a distinct role of PEDF to calibrate ISC expansion for intestinal homeostasis via reciprocal interactions between the gut and liver.
