Intestinal epithelial cells are the initial sites of host response to Clostridium difficile infection and can play a role in signaling the influx of inflammatory cells. To further explore this role, the regulated expression and polarized secretion of CXC and CC chemokines by human intestinal epithelial cells were investigated. An expression of the CXC chemokines, including IL-8 and growth-related oncogene (GRO)-alpha, and the CC chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 from HT-29 cells increased in the 1-6 hr following C. difficile toxin A stimulation, assessed by quantitative RT-PCR. In contrast, the expression of neutrophil activating protein-78 (ENA-78) was delayed for 18 hr. The up-regulated mRNA expression of chemokines was paralleled by the increase of protein levels. However, the expression of macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha, RANTES (regulated on activation normal T cells expressed and secreted), and interferon-gamma-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) was not changed in HT-29 or Caco-2 cells stimulated with toxin A. Upon stimulation of the polarized Caco-2 epithelial cells in a transwell chamber with toxin A, CXC and CC chemokines were released predominantly into the basolateral compartment. Moreover, the addition of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha to toxin A stimulated Caco-2 cells increased the basolateral release of CC chemokine MCP-1. In contrast, IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha had no effect on the expression of the CXC chemokines IL-8 and GRO-alpha. These results suggest that a CXC and CC chemokine expression from epithelial cells infected with C. difficile may be an important factor in the mucosal inflammatory response. 相似文献

Bacteria release flagellin that elicits innate responses via Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5). Here, we investigated the fate of apically administrated full length flagellin from virulent and avirulent bacteria, along with truncated recombinant flagellin proteins in intestinal epithelial cells and cellular responses. Flagellin was internalized by intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) monolayers of IEC-18. Additionally, apically applied flagellin was internalized by polarized human Caco-2BBe and T-84 cells in a TLR5 dependent mechanism. More, flagellin exposure did not affect the integrity of intestinal monolayers. With immunofluorescent staining, internalized flagellin was detected in both early endosomes as well as lysosomes. We found that apical exposure of polarized Caco-2BBe and T-84 to flagellin from purified Salmonella, Escherichia coli O83:H1 (isolate from Crohn's lesion) or avirulent E. coli K12 induced comparable levels of basolateral IL-8 secretion. A recombinant protein representing the conserved amino (N) and carboxyl (C) domains (D) of the flagellin protein (ND1/2ECHCD2/1) induced IL-8 secretion from IEC similar to levels elicited by full-length flagellins. However, a recombinant flagellin protein containing only the D3 hypervariable region elicited no IL-8 secretion in both cell lines compared to un-stimulated controls. Silencing or blocking TLR5 in Caco-2BBe cells resulted in a lack of flagellin internalization and decreased IL-8 secretion. Furthermore, apical exposure to flagellin stimulated transepithelial migration of neutrophils and dendritic cells. The novel findings in this study show that luminal-applied flagellin is internalized by normal IEC via TLR5 and co-localizes to endosomal and lysosomal compartments where it is likely degraded as flagellin was not detected on the basolateral side of IEC cultures. 相似文献

Molecular dissection of the mechanisms underlying Helicobacter pylori infection suffers from the lack of in vitro systems mimicking in vivo observations. A system was developed whereby human epithelial cells (Caco-2) grown as polarized monolayers and bacteria can communicate with each other under culture conditions optimal for each partner. Caco-2 cells grown on filter supports were inserted in a vertical position into diffusion chambers equilibrated with air and 5% CO(2) at their basolateral surface (aerophilic conditions) and 5% CO(2), 5% O(2), 90% N(2) (microaerophilic conditions) in the apical compartment. Remarkably, the epithelial polarized layer was stable under these asymmetric culture conditions for at least 24 h, and the presence of Caco-2 cells was necessary to maintain H. pylori growth. In contrast to previous studies conducted with non-polarized Caco-2 cells and other cell lines kept under aerophilic conditions, we found H. pylori-dependent stimulation of cytokine secretion (MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), GRO-alpha (growth-regulated oncogene-alpha), RANTES (regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted)). This correlated with nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB p50 and p65 subunits. Tyrosine phosphorylation of nine cellular proteins was induced or enhanced; we identified p120(RasGAP), p190(RhoGAP), p62dok (downstream of tyrosine kinases), and cortactin as H. pylori-inducible targets. Moreover, reduction of H. pylori urease expression was observed in adherent bacteria as compared with bacteria in suspension. In addition to mimicking several observations seen in the inflamed gastric mucosa, the novel in vitro system was allowed to underscore complex cellular events not seen in classical in vitro analyses of microaerophilic bacteria-epithelial cell cross-talk. 相似文献

The primary reservoir for hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication in vivo is believed to be hepatocytes within the liver. Three host cell molecules have been reported to be important entry factors for receptors for HCV: the tetraspanin CD81, scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI), and the tight-junction (TJ) protein claudin 1 (CLDN1). The recent discovery of a TJ protein as a critical coreceptor highlighted the importance of studying the effect(s) of TJ formation and cell polarization on HCV entry. The colorectal adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cell line forms polarized monolayers containing functional TJs and was found to express the CD81, SR-BI, and CLDN1 proteins. Viral receptor expression levels increased upon polarization, and CLDN1 relocalized from the apical pole of the lateral cell membrane to the lateral cell-cell junction and basolateral domains. In contrast, expression and localization of the TJ proteins ZO-1 and occludin 1 were unchanged upon polarization. HCV infected polarized and nonpolarized Caco-2 cells to comparable levels, and entry was neutralized by anti-E2 monoclonal antibodies, demonstrating glycoprotein-dependent entry. HCV pseudoparticle infection and recombinant HCV E1E2 glycoprotein interaction with polarized Caco-2 cells occurred predominantly at the apical surface. Disruption of TJs significantly increased HCV entry. These data support a model where TJs provide a physical barrier for viral access to receptors expressed on lateral and basolateral cellular domains. 相似文献

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that preferentially infects damaged epithelial tissues. Previous studies have failed to distinguish whether the increased susceptibility of injured epithelium results from the loss of cell polarity or increased access to the basolateral surface. We have used confluent monolayers of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells cultured on porous filter supports for 1-3 d as a model system to investigate whether the differentiation state of a polarized model epithelium affected the response of epithelial cells to this pathogen. Confluent incompletely polarized MDCK cell monolayers (day 1) efficiently internalized apically applied P. aeruginosa via a pathway that required actin polymerization and activation of Rho-family GTPases and was accompanied by an increase in the amount of activated RhoA. In contrast, P. aeruginosa entry into highly polarized MDCK monolayers (day 3) was 10- to 100-fold less efficient and was insensitive to inhibitors of actin polymerization or of Rho-family GTPase activation. There was no activation of RhoA; instead, Cdc42-GTP levels increased significantly. Basolateral infection of highly polarized MDCK monolayers was less efficient and insensitive to Clostridium difficile Toxin B, whereas basolateral infection of incompletely polarized MDCK monolayers was more efficient and required activation of Rho-family GTPases. Together, our findings suggest that as epithelial barrier differentiates and becomes highly polarized, it becomes resistant to P. aeruginosa infection. Nevertheless, polarized epithelial cells still sense the presence of apically infecting P. aeruginosa, but they may do so through a different group of surface proteins and/or downstream signaling pathways than do incompletely polarized cells. 相似文献

Experiments reported in this communication showed that the highly toxinogenic Cd 79685, Cd 4784, and Wilkins Clostridium difficile strains and the moderately toxinogenic FD strain grown in the presence of blood adhere to polarized monolayers of two cultured human intestinal cell lines: the human colonic epithelial Caco-2 cells and the human mucus-secreting HT29-MTX cells. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the bacteria interacted with well-defined apical microvilli of differentiated Caco-2 cells and that the bacteria strongly bind to the mucus layer that entirely covers the surface of the HT29-MTX cells. The binding of C. difficile to Caco-2 cells developed in parallel with the differentiation features of the Caco-2 cells, suggesting that the protein(s) which constitute C. difficile-binding sites are differentiation-related brush border protein(s). To better define this interaction, we tentatively characterized the mechanism(s) of adhesion of C. difficile with adherence assays. It was shown that heating of C. difficile grown in the presence of blood enhanced the bacterial interaction with the brush border of the enterocyte-like Caco-2 cells and the human mucus-secreting HT29-MTX cells. A labile surface-associated component was involved in C. difficile adhesion since washes of C. difficile grown in the presence of blood without heat shock decreased adhesion. After heating, washes of C. difficile grown in the presence of blood did not modify adhesion. Analysis of surface-associated proteins of C. difficile subjected to different culture conditions was con-ducted. After growth of C. difficile Cd 79685, Cd 4784, FD and Wilkins strains in the presence of blood and heating, two predominant SDS-extractable proteins with molecular masses of 12 and 27 kDa were observed and two other proteins with masses of 48 and 31 kDa disappeared. Direct involvement of the 12 and 27 kDa surface-associated proteins in the adhe-sion of C. difficile strains was demonstrated by using rat polycolonal antibodies pAb 12 and pAb 27 directed against the 12 and 27kDa proteins. Indeed, adhesion to Caco-2 cell monoiayers of C. difficiie strains grown in the presence of blood, without or with heat-shock, was blocked. Taken together, our results suggest that C. difficiie may utilize blood components as adhesins to adhere to human intestinal cultured cells. 相似文献

Fatty acid uptake and metabolism in a human intestinal cell line (Caco-2): comparison of apical and basolateral incubation 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Free fatty acids can enter the enterocyte via the apical or basolateral plasma membrane. We have used the Caco-2 intestinal cell line to examine the polarity of free fatty acid uptake and metabolism in the enterocyte. Differentiated Caco-2 cells form polarized monolayers with tight junctions, and express the small intestine-specific enzymes sucrase and alkaline phosphatase. Cells were grown on permeable polycarbonate Transwell filters, thus allowing separate access to the apical and basolateral compartments. Total uptake of [3H]palmitate bound to bovine serum albumin (palmitate-BSA 4:1) was twofold higher (P less than 0.05 or less) at the apical surface than at the basolateral surface. The relative apical and basolateral membrane surface areas of the Caco-2 cells, as measured by partition of the fluorophore trimethylammonium-diphenylhexatriene TMA-DPH), was found to be 1:3. Thus, apical fatty acid uptake was sixfold higher than basolateral uptake per unit surface area. Analysis of metabolites after incubation with submicellar concentrations of [3H]palmitate showed that the triacylglycerol to phospholipid (TG:PL) ratio was higher for fatty acid added to the apical as compared to the basolateral compartment (20% at 60 min, P less than 0.025). Little fatty acid oxidation was observed. Preincubation with albumin-bound palmitate, alone or with monoolein, increased the incorporation of both apical and basolateral free fatty acids into TG. The results suggest that the net uptake of long-chain free fatty acids across the apical plasma membrane is greater than uptake across the basolateral membrane. In addition, a small increase in the TG:PL ratio for apically, compared to basolaterally, added free fatty acids suggests that polarity of metabolism occurs to a limited extent in Caco-2 enterocytes. 相似文献

The interaction of the antibacterial phosphonodipeptide alafosfalin with mammalian H(+)/peptide cotransporters was studied in Caco-2 cells, expressing the low-affinity intestinal type peptide transporter 1 (PEPT1), and SKPT cells, expressing the high-affinity renal type peptide transporter 2 (PEPT2). Alafosfalin strongly inhibited the uptake of [(14)C]glycylsarcosine with K(i) values of 0.19 +/- 0.01 mm and 0.07 +/- 0.01 mm for PEPT1 and PEPT2, respectively. Saturation kinetic studies revealed that in both cell types alafosfalin affected only the affinity constant (K(t)) but not the maximal velocity (V(max)) of glycylsarcosine (Gly-Sar) uptake. The inhibition constants and the competitive nature of inhibition were confirmed in Dixon-type experiments. Caco-2 cells and SKPT cells were also cultured on permeable filters: apical uptake and transepithelial apical to basolateral flux of [(14)C]Gly-Sar across Caco-2 cell monolayers were reduced by alafosfalin (3 mm) by 73%. In SKPT cells, uptake of [(14)C]Gly-Sar but not flux was inhibited by 61%. We found no evidence for an inhibition of the basolateral to apical uptake or flux of [(14)C]Gly-Sar by alafosfalin. Alafosfalin (3 mm) did not affect the apical to basolateral [(14)C]mannitol flux. Determined in an Ussing-type experiment with Caco-2 cells cultured in Snapwells trade mark, alafosfalin increased the short-circuit current through Caco-2 cell monolayers. We conclude that alafosfalin interacts with both H(+)/peptide symporters and that alafosfalin is actively transported across the intestinal epithelium in a H(+)-symport, explaining its oral availability. The results also demonstrate that dipeptides where the C-terminal carboxyl group is substituted by a phosphonic function represent high-affinity substrates for mammalian H(+)/peptide cotransporters. 相似文献

Dietary fatty acids (FAs) crossing the apical plasma membrane of small intestinal enterocytes are targeted to different metabolic pathways than serum FAs crossing the basolateral membrane. This apparent compartmentalization of FA metabolism in enterocytes was further investigated using a model human enterocyte-like intestinal cell line. [3H]Oleic acid bound to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was added to the apical or basolateral surfaces of confluent monolayers of Caco-2 cells growing on uncoated polycarbonate filters. In other experiments, [3H]oleic acid incorporated into micelles with taurocholate (+/- 2-monoacylglycerol) was added apically. Caco-2 cells absorbed oleic acid bound to BSA from both the apical and basolateral surfaces at the same rate. Oleic acid in micellar solution was absorbed more efficiently than oleic acid bound to BSA. Regardless of its site or mode of presentation, the majority of the incorporated oleic acid was found in triglycerides. Only a small fraction was subjected to beta-oxidation or esterification into phospholipids. Most of the incorporated oleic acid was still retained intracellularly at 24 h. The polarity of triglyceride secretion was influenced by the experimental conditions. Triglyceride secretion was not significantly polarized when oleic acid-BSA was presented apically. However, the ratio of basolateral to apical secretion at 24 h was 9:1 for oleic acid-BSA presented basolaterally. For oleic acid in taurocholate micelles there was a trend toward polarity of secretion to the apical media (apical to basolateral ratio = 2:1). The inclusion of 2-monoacylglycerol in oleic acid-taurocholate micelles did not augment triglyceride synthesis or secretion. These differences indicate that compartmentation of FA metabolism in Caco-2 cells is influenced by the site of FA presentation. Northern and Western blot hybridization studies indicated that the liver fatty acid-binding protein but not the intestinal fatty acid-binding protein gene is expressed in these cells. The absence of this latter 15 kDa protein indicates that it is not required by Caco-2 cells for the synthesis of triglycerides or for the polarized export of triglyceride. These studies indicate that the Caco-2 cell line will be a useful model system for studying the polarization of FA trafficking/metabolism in enterocytes and defining the role of intracellular fatty acid binding proteins in these processes. 相似文献

When rotavirus infects the mature villus tip cells of the small intestine, it encounters a highly polarized epithelium. In order to understand this virus-cell interaction more completely, we utilized a cell culture-adapted rhesus rotavirus (RRV) to infect human intestinal (Caco-2) and Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK-1) polarized epithelial cells grown on a permeable support. Filter-grown Caco-2 cells and MDCK-1 cells, producing a transepithelial resistance of 300 to 500 and greater than 1,000 omega . cm2, respectively, were infected from either the apical or basolateral domain with RRV or Semliki Forest virus. Whereas Semliki Forest virus infection only occurred when input virions had access to the basolateral domain of MDCK-1 or Caco-2 cells, RRV infected MDCK-1 and Caco-2 monolayers in a symmetric manner. The effect of rotavirus infection on monolayer permeability was analyzed by measuring the transepithelial electrical resistance. Rotavirus infection on filter-grown Caco-2 cells caused a transmembrane leak at 18 h postinfection, before the development of the cytopathic effect (CPE) and extensive virus release. Electrical resistance was completely abolished between 24 and 36 h postinfection. Although no CPE could be detected on RRV-infected MDCK cells, the infection caused a transmembrane leak that totally abolished the electrical resistance at 18 to 24 h postinfection. Cell viability and the CPE analysis together with immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence data indicated that the abolishment of resistance across the monolayer was due not to an effect on the plasma membrane of the cells but to an effect on the paracellular pathway limited by tight junctions. Attachment and penetration of rotavirus onto Caco-2 cells caused no measurable transmembrane leak during the first hour of infection. 相似文献

The human Na(+)-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (Ntcp) is located exclusively on the basolateral membrane of hepatocyte, but the mechanisms underlying its membrane sorting domain have not been fully elucidated. In the present study, a green fluorescent protein-fused human NTCP (NTCP-GFP) was constructed using the polymerase chain reaction and was stably transfected into Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) and Caco-2 cells. Taurocholate uptake studies and confocal microscopy demonstrated that the polarity of basolateral surface expression of NTCP-GFP was maintained in MDCK cells but was lost in Caco-2 cells. Nocodazole (33 microM), an agent that causes microtubular depolymerization, partially disrupted the basolateral localization of NTCP-GFP by increasing apical surface expression to 33.5% compared with untreated cells (P < 0.05). Brefeldin A (BFA; 1-2 microM) disrupted the polarized basolateral localization of NTCP, but monensin (1.4 microM) had no affect on NTCP-GFP localization. In addition, low-temperature shift (20 degrees C) did not affect the polarized basolateral surface sorting of NTCP-GFP and repolarization of this protein after BFA interruption. In summary, these data suggest that the polarized basolateral localization of human NTCP is cell specific and is mediated by a novel sorting pathway that is BFA sensitive and monensin and low-temperature shift insensitive. The process may also involve microtubule motors. 相似文献

The polarized delivery of membrane proteins to the cell surface and the initial secretion of lysosomal proteins into the culture medium were studied in the polarized human intestinal adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2 in the presence or absence of the microtubule-active drug nocodazole. The appearance of newly synthesized proteins at the plasma membrane was measured by their sensitivity to proteases added either to the apical or the basolateral surface of cells grown on nitrocellulose filters. Nocodazole was found to reduce the delivery to the cell surface of an apical membrane protein, aminopeptidase N, and to lead to its partial missorting to the basolateral surface, whereas the drug had no influence on the delivery of a basolateral 120-kD membrane protein defined by a monoclonal antibody. Furthermore, nocodazole selectively blocked the apical secretion of two lysosomal proteins, cathepsin D and acid alpha-glucosidase, whereas the drug had no influence on their basolateral secretion. These results suggest that in Caco-2 cells an intact microtubular network is important for the transport of newly synthesized proteins to the apical cell surface. 相似文献

Many intracellular parasites are capable of penetrating host epithelial barriers. To study this process in more detail we examined the interactions between the pathogenic bacteria Salmonella choleraesuis and polarized epithelial monolayers of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells grown on membrane filters. Association of bacteria with the MDCK cell apical surface was an active event, requiring bacterial RNA and protein synthesis, and was blocked by low temperatures. Salmonella were internalized within a membrane-bound vacuole and exhibited penetration through, but not between MDCK cells. A maximum of 14 Salmonella per MDCK cell crossed the monolayer per hour to the basolateral surface yet the monolayer remained viable and impermeable to Escherichia coli. Apical S. choleraesuis infection resulted in an increase in paracellular permeability but the MDCK intercellular contacts were not significantly disrupted. Basolateral S. choleraesuis infection was inefficient, and only small numbers of S. choleraesuis penetrated to the apical medium. 相似文献

Infection of polarized cultures of human intestinal epithelial cells with hepatitis A virus: vectorial release of progeny virions through apical cellular membranes

Although hepatitis A virus (HAV) is typically transmitted by the fecal-oral route, little is known of its interactions with cells of the gastrointestinal tract. We studied the replication of HAV in polarized cultures of Caco-2 cells, a human cell line which retains many differentiated functions of small intestinal epithelial cells. Virus uptake was 30- to 40-fold more efficient when the inoculum was placed on the apical rather than the basolateral surface of these cells, suggesting a greater abundance of the cellular receptor for HAV on the apical surface. Infection proceeded without cytopathic effect and did not influence transepithelial resistance or the diffusion of inulin across cell monolayers. Nonetheless, there was extensive release of progeny virus, which occurred almost exclusively into apical supernatant fluids (36.4% +/- 12.5% of the total virus yield compared with 0.23% +/- 0.13% release into basolateral fluids). Brefeldin A caused a profound inhibition of HAV replication, but also selectively reduced apical release of virus. These results indicate that polarized human epithelial cell cultures undergo vectorial infection with HAV and that virus release is largely restricted to the apical membrane. Virus release occurs in the absence of cytopathic effect and may involve cellular vesicular transport mechanisms. 相似文献

Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains of clinical and nonclinical origin were compared by pulse field gel electrophoresis. Complete separation between strains of clinical origin and food strains by their chromosome length polymorphism was not obtained even though there was a tendency for the clinical and food strains to cluster separately. All the investigated strains, except for one food strain, were able to grow at temperatures > or =37 degrees C but not at 42 degrees C. Great strain variations were observed in pseudohyphal growth and invasiveness, but the characters were not linked to strains of clinical origin. The adhesion capacities of the yeast strains to a human intestinal epithelial cell line (Caco-2) in response to different nutritional availabilities were determined, as were the effects of the strains on the transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) across polarized monolayers of Caco-2 cells. The yeast strains displayed very low adhesion capacities to Caco-2 cells (0.6-6.2%), and no significant difference was observed between the strains of clinical and nonclinical origin. Both S. cerevisiae strains of clinical and non-clinical origin increased the TER of polarized monolayers of Caco-2 cells. Based on the results obtained in this study, no specific virulence factor was found that clearly separated the strains of clinical origin from the strains of nonclinical origin. On the contrary, all investigated strains of S. cerevisiae were found to strengthen the epithelial barrier function. 相似文献

Apical and basolateral endocytosis in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells grown on nitrocellulose filters. 总被引:27,自引:4,他引:23
Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells (strain I) grown on 0.45 micron pore size nitrocellulose filters formed monolayers which were highly polarized and had high transepithelial electrical resistance (greater than 3000 ohm X cm2). Morphometric analysis showed that the area of the basolateral surface domain was 7.6 times larger than that of the apical. The uptake of fluid-phase markers [3H]inulin and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was studied from the apical and the basal side of the monolayer. Uptake of [3H]inulin was biphasic and the rate during the first 40 min corresponded to a fluid phase uptake of 20.5 X 10(-8) nl/min per cell from the basolateral side, and 1.0 X 10(-8) nl/min per cell from the apical side. Electron micrographs of the monolayers after HRP uptake showed that the marker was rapidly delivered into endosome-like vesicles and into multivesicular bodies. No labelling of the Golgi complex could be observed during 2 h of uptake. Evidence was obtained for the transport of fluid phase markers across the cell. HRP and fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran crossed the monolayers in either direction at a rate corresponding to approximately 3 X 10(-8) nl of fluid/min/cell. Adding the transcytosis rate to the rate of fluid accumulation into the cell yielded a total basolateral endocytic rate which was 6-fold greater than the apical rate. When the uptake rates were normalized for membrane area the apical and basolateral endocytic rates were about equal per unit cell surface area. 相似文献

Chlamydiae replicate intracellularly within a unique vacuole termed the inclusion. The inclusion circumvents classical endosomal/lysosomal pathways but actively intercepts a subset of Golgi-derived exocytic vesicles containing sphingomyelin (SM) and cholesterol. To further examine this interaction, we developed a polarized epithelial cell model to study vectoral trafficking of lipids and proteins to the inclusion. We examined seven epithelial cell lines for their ability to form single monolayers of polarized cells and support chlamydial development. Of these cell lines, polarized colonic mucosal C2BBe1 cells were readily infected with Chlamydia trachomatis and remained polarized throughout infection. Trafficking of (6-((N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1, 3-diazol-4-yl) amino)hexanoyl)sphingosine) (NBD-C(6)-ceramide) and its metabolic derivatives, NBD-glucosylceramide (GlcCer) and NBD-SM, was analyzed. SM was retained within L2-infected cells relative to mock-infected cells, correlating with a disruption of basolateral SM trafficking. There was no net retention of GlcCer within L2-infected cells and purification of C. trachomatis elementary bodies from polarized C2BBe1 cells confirmed that bacteria retained only SM. The chlamydial inclusion thus appears to preferentially intercept basolaterally-directed SM-containing exocytic vesicles, suggesting a divergence in SM and GlcCer trafficking. The observed changes in lipid trafficking were a chlamydia-specific effect because Coxiella burnetii-infected cells revealed no changes in GlcCer or SM polarized trafficking. 相似文献

The high concentration of glycosphingolipids on the apical surface of epithelial cells may be generated by selective transport from their site of synthesis to the cell surface. Previously, we showed that canine kidney MDCK and human intestinal Caco-2 cells converted a ceramide carrying the short fluorescent fatty acid C6-NBD to glucosylceramide (GlcCer) and sphingomyelin (SM), and that GlcCer was preferentially transported to the apical surface as compared to SM. Here, we address the point that not all glycosphingolipid classes are apically enriched in epithelia. We show that a ceramide containing the 2-hydroxy fatty acid C6OH was preferentially converted by MDCK and Caco- 2 cells to galactosylceramide (GalCer) and its derivatives galabiosylceramide (Ga2Cer) and sulfatide (SGalCer) as compared to SM and GlcCer--all endogenous lipid classes of these cells. Transport to the apical and basolateral cell surface was monitored by a BSA- depletion assay. In MDCK cells, GalCer reached the cell surface with two- to sixfold lower apical/basolateral polarity than GlcCer. Remarkably, in Caco-2 cells GalCer and GlcCer displayed the same apical/basolateral polarity, but it was sixfold lower for lipids with a C6OH chain than for C6-NBD lipids. Therefore, the sorting of a sphingolipid appears to depend on lipid structure and cell type. We propose that the different ratios of gluco- and galactosphingolipid synthesis in the various epithelial tissues govern lipid sorting in the membrane of the trans Golgi network by dictating the composition of the domains from where vesicles bud to the apical and basolateral cell surface. 相似文献

Determination of thalidomide in transport buffer for Caco-2 cell monolayers by high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We report simple validated HPLC methods for the determination of thalidomide in the transport buffer for the human colonic cell line (Caco-2) cell monolayers. An aliquot of 50 microl of the mixture was injected onto a Spherex C(18) column (150 x 4.6 mm; 5 microm) at a flow-rate of 0.5 ml/min of mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-10 mM ammonium acetate buffer (24:76, v/v, pH 5.5), and thalidomide was detected by ultraviolet detector at a wavelength of 220 nm. Calibration curves for thalidomide were constructed at the concentration range of 0.025-1.0 and 1.0-50 microM in transport buffer. The validated methods were used to determine the transport of thalidomide by Caco-2 monolayers. The transport across the monolayers from the apical (A) to basolateral (B) side was similar to that from B to A side. The apparent permeability coefficient (P(app)) values of thalidomide at 10-300 microM from the A to B and from B to A side was 2-6 x 10(-5) cm/s, with a marked decrease in P(app) values from A to B side at increased thalidomide concentration. The A to B transport appears to be dependent on temperature and sodium ion. Sodium azide, 2,4-dinitrophenol (both ATP inhibitors), 5-fluorouracil, cytidine and glutamic acid significantly inhibited the transport of thalidomide. These results indicate that the transport of thalidomide by Caco-2 monolayers was rapid, which might involve an energy-dependent mechanism. 相似文献

4-Anilinoquinazolines (e.g. Iressa and Glivec) are a class of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) inhibitors widely used to treat non-small cell lung cancer and other tumors. However, low clinical response rate, resistance, and host toxicity of currently available EGFR-TK inhibitors prompt the development of second generation of TK inhibitors with improved efficacy, selectivity, and less resistance. CH330331 is a recently synthesized novel 4-anilinoquinazoline analog with confirmed anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo. To predict its oral pharmacokinetic behavior and transport nature in the intestine before entering clinical trials, we have developed and validated a high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the determination of CH330331 in Caco-2 (a human colon cancer cell line) monolayers. The developed HPLC method was sensitive and reliable, with acceptable accuracy (90-110% of nominal values) and precision (intra- and inter-assay R.S.D.<10%). The total running time was within 10 min, with acceptable separation of the target analytes. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) value for CH330331 was 200 ng/ml when an aliquot of 100 microl sample was injected onto the HPLC. The validated HPLC method was applied to characterize the epithelial transport of CH330331 in Caco-2 monolayers. The transport of CH330331 across the Caco-2 monolayers from the apical to basolateral side was 8- to 10-fold higher than that from the basolateral to apical side. Co-incubation of sodium azide or MK-571, but not verapamil, significantly inhibited the apical to basolateral transport of CH330331. These findings provide initial evidence that the intestinal absorption of CH330331 is mediated by an active mechanism. Further studies are required to explore the interaction of CH330331 with ATP-binding cassette transporters and the possible influence on its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. 相似文献
