Zinc transporters play a critical role in spatiotemporal regulation of zinc homeostasis. Although disruption of zinc homeostasis has been implicated in disorders such as intestinal inflammation and aberrant epithelial morphology, it is largely unknown which zinc transporters are responsible for the intestinal epithelial homeostasis. Here, we show that Zrt-Irt-like protein (ZIP) transporter ZIP7, which is highly expressed in the intestinal crypt, is essential for intestinal epithelial proliferation. Mice lacking Zip7 in intestinal epithelium triggered endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in proliferative progenitor cells, leading to significant cell death of progenitor cells. Zip7 deficiency led to the loss of Olfm4+ intestinal stem cells and the degeneration of post-mitotic Paneth cells, indicating a fundamental requirement for Zip7 in homeostatic intestinal regeneration. Taken together, these findings provide evidence for the importance of ZIP7 in maintenance of intestinal epithelial homeostasis through the regulation of ER function in proliferative progenitor cells and maintenance of intestinal stem cells. Therapeutic targeting of ZIP7 could lead to effective treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. Intestinal epithelium undergoes continuous self-renewal to maintain intestinal homeostasis. Given that dysregulation of zinc flux causes intestinal disorders, appropriate spatiotemporal regulation of zinc in the intracellular compartments should be a prerequisite for the intestinal epithelial self-renewal process. Zinc transporters such as Zrt-Irt-like proteins (ZIPs) are essential to fine-tune intracellular zinc flux. However, the link between specific zinc transporter(s) and intestinal epithelial self-renewal remains to be elucidated. Here, we found that ZIP7 is highly expressed in the intestinal crypts. The finding motivated us to further analyze the role of ZIP7 in intestinal homeostasis. ZIP7 deficiency greatly enhanced ER stress response in proliferative progenitor cells, which induced apoptotic cell death. This abnormality disrupted epithelial proliferation and intestinal stemness. Based on these observations, we reason that ZIP7-dependent zinc transport facilitates the vigorous epithelial proliferation in the intestine by ameliorating ER stress.
