In the Madin-Darby canine kidney epithelial cell line, the proteins occludin and ZO-1 are structural components of the tight junctions that seal the paracellular spaces between the cells and contribute to the epithelial barrier function. In Ras-transformed Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, occludin, claudin-1, and ZO-1 were absent from cell-cell contacts but were present in the cytoplasm, and the adherens junction protein E-cadherin was weakly expressed. After treatment of the Ras-transformed cells with the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK1) inhibitor PD98059, which blocks the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), occludin, claudin-1, and ZO-1 were recruited to the cell membrane, tight junctions were assembled, and E-cadherin protein expression was induced. Although it is generally believed that E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion is required for tight junction assembly, the recruitment of occludin to the cell-cell contact area and the restoration of epithelial cell morphology preceded the appearance of E-cadherin at cell-cell contacts. Both electron microscopy and a fourfold increase in the transepithelial electrical resistance indicated the formation of functional tight junctions after MEK1 inhibition. Moreover, inhibition of MAPK activity stabilized occludin and ZO-1 by differentially increasing their half-lives. We also found that during the process of tight junction assembly after MEK1 inhibition, tyrosine phosphorylation of occludin and ZO-1, but not claudin-1, increased significantly. Our study demonstrates that down-regulation of the MAPK signaling pathway causes the restoration of epithelial cell morphology and the assembly of tight junctions in Ras-transformed epithelial cells and that tyrosine phosphorylation of occludin and ZO-1 may play a role in some aspects of tight junction formation.  相似文献

Junctional adhesion molecule (JAM)-A is not only localized at tight junctions of endothelial and epithelial cells but is also expressed on circulating leukocytes and dendritic cells (DCs). In the present study, to investigate the regulation of JAM-A in DCs, mature DCs were differentiated from the human monocytic cell THP-1 by treatment with IL-4, GM-CSF, TNF-α, and ionomycin, and some cells were pretreated with the PPAR-γ agonists. In the THP-1 monocytes, mRNAs of tight junction molecules, occludin, tricellulin, JAM-A, ZO-1, ZO-2 and claudin-4, -7, -8, and -9 were detected by RT-PCR. In mature DCs that had elongated dendrites, mRNA and protein of JAM-A were significantly increased compared to the monocytes. PPAR-γ agonists prevented the elongation of dentrites but not upregulation of JAM-A in mature DCs. These findings indicated that the induction of JAM-A occurred during differentiation of human THP-1 DCs and was independent of PPAR-γ and the p38 MAPK pathway.  相似文献

Interleukin (IL)-15 is able to regulate tight junction formation in intestinal epithelial cells. However, the mechanisms that regulate the intestinal barrier function in response to IL-15 and the involved subunits of the IL-15 ligand-receptor system are unknown. We determined the IL-2Rbeta subunit and IL-15-dependent regulation of tight junction-associated proteins in the human intestinal epithelial cell line T-84. The IL-2Rbeta subunit was expressed and induced signal transduction in caveolin enriched rafts in intestinal epithelial cells. IL-15-mediated tightening of intestinal epithelial monolayers correlated with the enhanced recruitment of tight junction proteins into Triton X-100-insoluble protein fractions. IL-15-mediated up-regulation of ZO-1 and ZO-2 expression was independent of the IL-2Rbeta subunit, whereas the phosphorylation of occludin and enhanced membrane association of claudin-1 and claudin-2 by IL-15 required the presence of the IL-2Rbeta subunit. Recruitment of claudins and hyperphosphorylated occludin into tight junctions resulted in a more marked induction of tight junction formation in intestinal epithelial cells than the up-regulation of ZO-1 and ZO-2 by itself. The regulation of the intestinal epithelial barrier function by IL-15 involves IL-2Rbeta-dependent and -independent signaling pathways leading to the recruitment of claudins, hyperphosphorylated occludin, ZO-1, and ZO-2 into the tight junctional protein complex.  相似文献

Bile duct epithelium forms a barrier to the backflow of bile into the liver parenchyma. However, the structure and regulation of the tight junctions in bile duct epithelium is not well understood. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of lipopolysaccharide on tight junction integrity and barrier function in normal rat cholangiocyte monolayers. Lipopolysaccharide disrupts barrier function and increases paracellular permeability in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Lipopolysaccharide induced a redistribution of tight junction proteins, occludin, claudin-1, claudin-4, and zonula occludens (ZO)-1 from the intercellular junctions and reduced the level of ZO-1. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (genistein and PP2) prevented lipopolysaccharide-induced increase in permeability and subcellular redistribution of ZO-1. Reduced expression of c-Src, TLR4, or LBP by specific small interfering RNA attenuated lipopolysaccharide-induced permeability and redistribution of ZO-1. ML-7, a myosin light chain kinase inhibitor, attenuated LPS-induced permeability. Lipopolysaccharide treatment rapidly increased the phosphorylation of occludin and ZO-1 on tyrosine residues, which was prevented by genistein and PP2. Occludin and ZO-1 were found to be highly phosphorylated on threonine residues in intact cell monolayers. Threonine-phosphorylation of occludin was rapidly reduced by lipopolysaccharide administration. Lipopolysaccharide-induced dephosphorylation of occludin on Thr residues was prevented by genistein and PP2. In conclusion, lipopolysaccharide disrupts the tight junction of a bile duct epithelial monolayer by a c-Src-, TLR4-, LBP-, and myosin light chain kinase-dependent mechanism.  相似文献

Tight junctions create a paracellular permeability barrier that is breached when nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs cause gastrointestinal injury, including increased gastrointestinal permeability. However, the mechanism by which aspirin affects the function of gastric epithelial tight junctions is unknown. Thus, we examined the effect of aspirin on gastric mucosal barrier properties and tight junction organization using MKN28, a human gastric epithelial cell line that expresses claudin-3, claudin-4, claudin-7, zonula occludens (ZO)-1, and occludin, but not claudin-2 or claudin-5, as determined by immunoblot analysis and immunofluorescent staining. Aspirin (5 mM) treatment of MKN28 gastric epithelial monolayers significantly decreased transepithelial electrical resistance and increased dextran permeability. Both aspirin-mediated permeability and phosphorylation of p38 MAPK were significantly attenuated by SB-203580 (a p38 MAPK inhibitor) but not by U-0126 (a MEK1 inhibitor) or SP-600125 (a JNK inhibitor). Aspirin significantly decreased the quantity of claudin-7 protein produced by MKN28 cells but not the quantity of claudin-3, claudin-4, ZO-1, or occludin. The aspirin-induced decrease in claudin-7 protein was completely abolished by SB-203580 pretreatment. These results demonstrate, for the first time, that claudin-7 protein is important in aspirin-induced gastric barrier loss and that p38 MAPK activity mediates this epithelial barrier dysfunction. tight junction; p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase; permeability  相似文献

Gap junctions are considered to play a crucial role in differentiation of epithelial cells and to be associated with tight junction proteins. In this study, to investigate the role of gap junctions in regulation of the barrier function and fence function on the tight junctions, we introduced the Cx26 gene into human airway epithelial cell line Clau-3 and used a disruption model of tight junctions employing the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase inhibitor ouabain. In parental Calu-3 cells, gap junction proteins Cx32 and Cx43, but not Cx26, and tight junction proteins occludin, JAM-1, ZO-1, claudin-1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9, and -14 were detected by RT-PCR. The barrier function and fence function of tight junctions were well maintained, whereas the GJIC was low level. Treatment with ouabain caused disruption of the barrier function and fence function of tight junctions together with down-regulation of occludin, JAM-1, claudin-2, and -4 and up-regulation of ZO-1 and claudin-14. In Cx26 transfectants, Cx26 protein was detected by Western blotting and immunocytochemistry, and many gap junction plaques were observed with well-developed tight junction strands. Expression of claudin-14 was significantly increased in Cx26 transfectants compared to parental cells, and in some cells, Cx26 was co-localized with claudin-14. Interestingly, transfection with Cx26 prevented disruption of both functions of tight junctions by treatment with ouabain without changes in the tight junction proteins. Pretreatment with the GJIC blockers 18beta-glycyrrhetinic acid and oleamide did not affect the changes induced by Cx26 transfection. These results suggest that Cx26 expression, but not the mediated intercellular communication, may regulate tight junction barrier and fence functions in human airway epithelial cell line Calu-3.  相似文献

The tight junction defines epithelial organization. Structurally, the tight junction is comprised of transmembrane and membrane-associated proteins that are thought to assemble into stable complexes to determine function. In this study, we measure tight junction protein dynamics in live confluent Madin-Darby canine kidney monolayers using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching and related methods. Mathematical modeling shows that the majority of claudin-1 (76 +/- 5%) is stably localized at the tight junction. In contrast, the majority of occludin (71 +/- 3%) diffuses rapidly within the tight junction with a diffusion constant of 0.011 microm(2)s(-1). Zonula occludens-1 molecules are also highly dynamic in this region, but, rather than diffusing within the plane of the membrane, 69 +/- 5% exchange between membrane and intracellular pools in an energy-dependent manner. These data demonstrate that the tight junction undergoes constant remodeling and suggest that this dynamic behavior may contribute to tight junction assembly and regulation.  相似文献

Compromised epithelial barrier function and tight junction alterations are hallmarks of a number of gastrointestinal disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Increased levels of IL-18 have been observed in mucosal samples from Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis patients. Remarkably, several reports have demonstrated that immunological or genetic blockage of IL-18 ameliorates the severity of colitis in multiple in vivo models of IBD. Nevertheless, the effects of IL-18 on intestinal epithelial barrier function remain unclear. We hypothesized that IL-18 could disrupt intestinal epithelial barrier structure and function, thus contributing to tissue damage in the context of IBD. The aims of the present study were to determine the effects of IL-18 on epithelial barrier structure and function and to characterize the mechanisms involved in these modulatory properties. Human colonic epithelial Caco-2 monolayers were coincubated with IL-18 for 24 h and processed for immunocytochemistry, immunoblotting, quantitative PCR, and permeability measurements (transepithelial resistance, FITC-dextran fluxes, and bacterial translocation). Our findings indicate that IL-18 selectively disrupts tight junctional occludin, without affecting the distribution pattern of claudin-4, claudin-5, zonula occludens-1, or E-cadherin. This effect coincided with a significant increase in myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) protein levels and activity. Pharmacological inhibition of MLCK and NF-κB prevented IL-18-induced loss of occludin. Although too subtle to alter paracellular permeability, these fine changes correlated with an MLCK-dependent increase in neutrophil transepithelial migration. In conclusion, our data suggest that IL-18 may potentiate inflammation in the context of IBD by facilitating neutrophil transepithelial migration via MLCK-dependent disruption of tight junctional occludin.  相似文献

Epithelial intercellular junctions regulate cell-cell contact and mucosal barrier function. Both tight junctions (TJs) and adherens junctions (AJs) are regulated in part by their affiliation with the F-actin cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton in turn is influenced by Rho family small GTPases such as RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42, all of which constitute eukaryotic targets for several pathogenic organisms. With a tetracycline-repressible system to achieve regulated expression in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells, we used dominant-negative (DN) and constitutively active (CA) forms of RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42 as tools to evaluate the precise contribution of each GTPase to epithelial structure and barrier function. All mutant GTPases induced time-dependent disruptions in epithelial gate function and distinct morphological alterations in apical and basal F-actin pools. TJ proteins occludin, ZO-1, claudin-1, claudin-2, and junctional adhesion molecule (JAM)-1 were dramatically redistributed in the presence of CA RhoA or CA Cdc42, whereas only claudins-1 and -2 were redistributed in response to CA Rac1. DN Rac1 expression also induced selective redistribution of claudins-1 and -2 in addition to JAM-1, whereas DN Cdc42 influenced only claudin-2 and DN RhoA had no effect. AJ protein localization was unaffected by any mutant GTPase, but DN Rac1 induced a reduction in E-cadherin detergent solubility. All CA GTPases increased the detergent solubility of claudins-1 and -2, but CA RhoA alone reduced claudin-2 and ZO-1 partitioning to detergent-insoluble membrane rafts. We conclude that Rho family GTPases regulate epithelial intercellular junctions via distinct morphological and biochemical mechanisms and that perturbations in barrier function reflect any imbalance in active/resting GTPase levels rather than simply loss or gain of GTPase activity. epithelium; tight junctions; paracellular permeability; Madin-Darby canine kidney cells  相似文献

We previously reported that expression of tight-junction molecules occludin, claudin-6 and claudin-7, as well as establishment of epithelial polarity, was triggered in mouse F9 cells expressing hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-4alpha [H. Chiba, T. Gotoh, T. Kojima, S. Satohisa, K. Kikuchi, M. Osanai, N. Sawada. Hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-4alpha triggers formation of functional tight junctions and establishment of polarized epithelial morphology in F9 embryonal carcinoma cells, Exp. Cell Res. 286 (2003) 288-297]. Using these cells, we examined in the present study behavior of tight-junction, adherens-junction and cell polarity proteins and elucidated the molecular mechanism behind HNF-4alpha-initiated junction formation and epithelial polarization. We herein show that not only ZO-1 and ZO-2, but also ZO-3, junctional adhesion molecule (JAM)-B, JAM-C and cell polarity proteins PAR-3, PAR-6 and atypical protein kinase C (aPKC) accumulate at primordial adherens junctions in undifferentiated F9 cells. In contrast, CRB3, Pals1 and PATJ appeared to exhibit distinct subcellular localization in immature cells. Induced expression of HNF-4alpha led to translocation of these tight-junction and cell polarity proteins to beltlike tight junctions, where occludin, claudin-6 and claudin-7 were assembled, in differentiated cells. Interestingly, PAR-6, aPKC, CRB3 and Pals1, but not PAR-3 or PATJ, were also concentrated on the apical membranes in differentiated cells. These findings indicate that HNF-4alpha provokes not only expression of tight-junction adhesion molecules, but also modulation of subcellular distribution of junction and cell polarity proteins, resulting in junction formation and epithelial polarization.  相似文献

Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) regulates lipid metabolism and plays an important role in oxidative stress. PLTP is highly expressed in blood–brain barrier (BBB), but the role of PLTP in BBB integrity is not clear. In this study, BBB permeability was detected with in vivo multiphoton imaging and Evans blue assay. We found that PLTP deficient mice exhibited increased BBB permeability, as well as decreased expression of tight junction proteins occludin, zona occludens-1 (ZO-1) and claudin-5 in brain vessels. Cerebrovascular oxidative stress increased in PLTP deficient mice, including increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation marker 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) and reduced superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Dietary supplementation of antioxidant vitamin E increased BBB integrity and tight junction proteins expression via reducing cerebrovascular oxidative stress. These findings indicated an essential role of PLTP in maintaining BBB integrity, possibly through its ability to transfer vitamin E, and modulate cerebrovascular oxidative stress.  相似文献

Tight junction proteins in the claudin family regulate epithelial barrier function. We examined claudin expression by human fetal lung (HFL) alveolar epithelial cells cultured in medium containing dexamethasone, 8-bromo-cAMP, and isobutylmethylxanthanine (DCI), which promotes alveolar epithelial cell differentiation to a type II phenotype. At the protein level, HFL cells expressed claudin-1, claudin-3, claudin-4, claudin-5, claudin-7, and claudin-18, where levels of expression varied with culture conditions. DCI-treated differentiated HFL cells cultured on permeable supports formed tight transepithelial barriers, with transepithelial resistance (TER) >1,700 ohm/cm(2). In contrast, HFL cells cultured in control medium without DCI did not form tight barriers (TER <250 ohm/cm(2)). Consistent with this difference in barrier function, claudins expressed by HFL cells cultured in DCI medium were tightly localized to the plasma membrane; however, claudins expressed by HFL cells cultured in control medium accumulated in an intracellular compartment and showed discontinuities in claudin plasma membrane localization. In contrast to claudins, localization of other tight junction proteins, zonula occludens (ZO)-1, ZO-2, and occludin, was not sensitive to HFL cell phenotype. Intracellular claudins expressed by undifferentiated HFL cells were localized to a compartment containing early endosome antigen-1, and treatment of HFL cells with the endocytosis inhibitor monodansylcadaverine increased barrier function. This suggests that during differentiation to a type II cell phenotype, fetal alveolar epithelial cells use differential claudin expression and localization to the plasma membrane to help regulate tight junction permeability.  相似文献

Epithelial-derived thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an IL-7-like cytokine that triggers dendritic cell (DC)-mediated Th2-type inflammatory responses. The activated DCs can penetrate the epithelium to directly take up antigen without compromising the barrier function. Although it is reported that DCs express tight junction molecules and can establish tight junction-like structures with adjacent epithelial cells to preserve the epithelial barrier, the regulation of expression of tight junction molecules in DCs remains unknown. In the present study, to investigate the mechanical regulation of expression of tight junction molecules in DCs, XS52 DCs that was a long-term DC line established from the epidermis of a newborn BALB/c mouse, were treated with TSLP or toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands. In XS52 cells, tight junction molecules claudin-1, -3, -4, -6, -7, -8, and occludin were detected. mRNA expression of TSLP receptor and all these tight junction molecules was significantly increased in activated XS52 cells after treatment with TSLP. In addition, expression of claudin-7 protein was increased in dose- and time-dependent manner. In XS52 cells, which express TLR2, TLR3, TLR4, and TLR7, but not TLR9, expression of claudin-7 protein was also increased after treatment with ligands of TLR2, TLR4 or TLR7/8, Pam3Cys-Ser-(Lys)4, LPS, or CL097. The NF-κB inhibitor IMD-0354 prevented upregulation of claudin-7 after treatment with TSLP or TLR ligands. These findings indicate that TSLP induces expression of tight junction protein claudin-7 in DCs via NF-κB as well as via TLRs and may control tight junctions of DCs to preserve the epithelial barrier during allergic inflammation.  相似文献

Trefoil factor peptides are highly conserved secreted molecules characterized by heat and enzymatic digestion resistance. Intestinal trefoil factor 3 (TFF3) protects and repairs the gastrointestinal mucosa and restores normal intestinal permeability, which is dependent on the integrity of the tight junction (TJ) barrier and the TJ associated proteins claudin-1, zona occludens-1 (ZO-1) and occludin. Despite the important role of intestinal barrier dysfunction in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases, the underlying mechanisms and associated molecules remain unclear. In the present study, we show that TFF3 and toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) are functionally linked and modulate intestinal epithelial permeability via a mechanism that involves the PI3K/Akt pathway. We used the Caco-2 cell model to show that TLR2 and TFF3 inhibit the IL-1β induced increase in permeability and release of proinflammatory cytokines, and that this effect is mediated by activation of PI3K/Akt signaling. TLR2 silencing downregulated the expression of TFF3 and overexpression of TLR2 and TFF3 increased the levels of phospho-Akt. TFF3 overexpression significantly upregulated the expression of ZO-1, occludin and claudin-1 and this effect was abrogated by inhibition of the PI3K/Akt pathway. Taken together, our results indicate that TLR2 signaling selectively enhances intestinal TJ barrier integrity through a mechanism involving TFF3 and the activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway.  相似文献

Although ras mutations have been shown to affect epithelial architecture and polarity, their role in altering tight junctions remains unclear. Transfection of a valine-12 mutated ras construct into LLC-PK1 renal epithelia produces leakiness of tight junctions to certain types of solutes. Transepithelial permeability of D-mannitol increases sixfold but transepithelial electrical resistance increases >40%. This indicates decreased paracellular permeability to NaCl but increased permeability to nonelectrolytes. Permeability increases to D-mannitol (Mr 182), polyethylene glycol (Mr 4000), and 10,000-Mr methylated dextran but not to 2,000,000-Mr methylated dextran. This implies a "ceiling" on the size of solutes that can cross a ras-mutated epithelial barrier and therefore that the increased permeability is not due to loss of cells or junctions. Although the abundance of claudin-2 declined to undetectable levels in the ras-overexpressing cells compared with vector controls, levels of occludin and claudins 1, 4, and 7 increased. The abundance of claudins-3 and -5 remained unchanged. An increase in extracellular signal-regulated kinase-2 phosphorylation suggests that the downstream effects on the tight junction may be due to changes in the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway. These selective changes in permeability may influence tumorigenesis by the types of solutes now able to cross the epithelial barrier.  相似文献

The tricellular tight junction (tTJ) forms at the convergence of bicellular tight junctions (bTJs) where three epithelial cells meet in polarized epithelia, and it is required for the maintenance of the transepithelial barrier. Tricellulin is a four transmembrane domain protein recently identified as the first marker of tTJ, but little is known about how tricellulin is localized at tTJs. As for the molecular mechanism of association of tricellulin with tight junctions (TJs), we found that tricellulin was incorporated into claudin-based TJs independently of binding to zona occludens-1. Unexpectedly, exogenous expression of tricellulin increased cross-links of TJ strands in the plasma membrane. As for the molecular mechanisms for localization of tricellulin at tricellular junctions, we found that knockdown of occludin caused mislocalization of tricellulin to bTJs, implying that occludin supports tricellular localization of tricellulin by excluding tricellulin from bTJs.  相似文献

Coeliac disease is a chronic enteropathy caused by the ingestion of wheat gliadin and other cereal prolamines derived from rye and barley. In the present work, we investigated the mechanisms underlying altered barrier function properties exerted by gliadin-derived peptides in human Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells. We demonstrate that gliadin alters barrier function almost immediately by decreasing transepithelial resistance and increasing permeability to small molecules (4 kDa). Gliadin caused a reorganisation of actin filaments and altered expression of the tight junction proteins occludin, claudin-3 and claudin-4, the TJ-associated protein ZO-1 and the adherens junction protein E-cadherin.  相似文献

The distributions of occludin and claudin-1, two tight junction–associated integral membrane proteins were investigated by immunohistochemical analysis of whole-mount preparations of the blood vessels in the myelinated streak of the rabbit retina. Light microscopy revealed that occludin and claudin-1 immunoreactivities were abundant along the interface of adjacent endothelial cells of all blood vessels. Electron microscopy revealed that both proteins were distributed in a regular pattern (at regular intervals of approximately 80 nm) along the length of tight junctions, probably in the regions of tight junction strands. No other structures or cell types expressed either of these two proteins in the myelinated streak. Whereas occludin immunoreactivity was concentrated only at the tight junction interface, claudin-1 immunoreactivity also extended into the cytoplasm of the endothelial cells, suggesting a different structural role for claudin-1 than for occludin at tight junctions. Retinal pigment epithelial cells expressed occludin around their entire circumference, consistent with the function of these cells as a barrier separating the retina from the leaky vessels of the choroid. Also consistent with the association of occludin expression with vessels that exhibit functional tight junctions, this protein was expressed at only a low level in, and showed an irregular distribution along, the vessels of the choroid, a vascular bed that lacks blood-barrier properties. Further, the distribution of occludin was examined during formation and remodelling of the rat retinal vasculature. Occludin expression was evident at the leading edge of vessel formation and was found on all vessels in both the inner and outer vascular plexus. Numerous vascular segments at the early stage of vascular formation and regression lost occludin expression. The biological significance of this transient loss of occludin expression in terms of barrier function remains to be elucidated.  相似文献

The effects of the sensory neurotransmitter substance P on the expression of tight junction proteins and on barrier function in human corneal epithelial cells were investigated. The expression of ZO-1, but not that of occludin or claudin-1, was increased by substance P in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. This effect was inhibited by the NK-1 receptor antagonist GR82334 and by KN62, an inhibitor of Ca2+- and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. Substance P also increased the transepithelial electrical resistance of a cell monolayer in a manner sensitive to GR82334. Substance P may therefore play a role in maintenance of tight junctions in the corneal epithelium.  相似文献
