Tight junction proteins form large complexes and associate with the cytoskeleton in an ATP depletion model for reversible junction assembly.

چکیده
A key feature of the ischemic epithelial cell phenotype is the disruption of tight junctions (TJ). In a Manin-Darby canine kidney cell model for ischemia-reperfusion/hypoxia-reoxygenation injury which employs inhibitors of glycolysis (2-deoxy-D-glucose) and oxidative phosphorylation (antimycin A), transepithelial electrical resistance, a measure of TJ integrity, dropped rapidly, correlating well with declining ATP levels. Although immunocytochemical studies revealed only subtle changes in the distribution of the TJ proteins, zonula occludens (ZO)-1, ZO-2, and cingulin, examination of the Triton X-100 solubilities of these proteins, an indicator of cytoskeletal association, revealed a striking shift of all three TJ proteins into the insoluble pool, consistent with increased cytoskeletal interaction during ATP depletion. In addition, rate-zonal centrifugation analysis of a detergent-soluble fraction showed an increase in the amount of ZO-1 and ZO-2 in high density fractions following ATP depletion, providing further evidence for association of TJ proteins into a large complex possibly involving the cytoskeleton. Analysis of immunoprecipitation data from [35S]methionine-labeled cells revealed that ATP depletion led to the association of a 240-kDa protein with the ZO-1-containing complex. Western blots of this protein immunoprecipitated with anti-ZO-1 antibodies confirmed its identity as fodrin, a protein believed to link membrane and other proteins to the actin-based cytoskeleton. Together, our data suggest that in the absence of major immunocytochemical changes, ATP depletion leads TJ proteins to form large insoluble complexes and associate with the cytoskeleton. We propose a model in which a key, potentially regulated, step in the generation of the ischemic epithelial cell phenotype is the interaction between TJ proteins and fodrin and/or other cytoskeletal proteins.

A role for intracellular calcium in tight junction reassembly after ATP depletion-repletion.
The integrity of the tight junction (TJ), which is responsible for the permeability barrier of the polarized epithelium, is disrupted during ischemic injury and must be reestablished for recovery. Recently, with the use of an ATP depletion-repletion model for ischemia and reperfusion injury in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, TJ proteins such as zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) were shown to reversibl...
متن کاملRac1, but not RhoA, signaling protects epithelial adherens junction assembly during ATP depletion.
Rho family GTPase signaling regulates actin cytoskeleton and junctional complex assembly. Our previous work showed that RhoA signaling protects tight junctions from damage during ATP depletion. Here, we examined whether RhoA GTPase signaling protects adherens junction assembly during ATP depletion. Despite specific RhoA signaling- and ATP depletion-induced effects on adherens junction assembly,...
متن کاملRole of tyrosine phosphorylation in the reassembly of occludin and other tight junction proteins.
After the simulation of anoxia by ATP depletion of MDCK cell monolayers with metabolic inhibitors, the tight junction (TJ) is known to become structurally perturbed, leading to loss of the permeability barrier. Peripheral TJ proteins such as zonula occludens 1 (ZO-1), ZO-2, and cingulin become extremely insoluble and associate into large macromolecular complexes (T. Tsukamoto and S. K. Nigam. J...
متن کاملINTRODUCTION Cadherins impart strong cell-to-cell adhesion that nucleates the assembly of adherens junctions. Initial adhesion events organize a multi-protein, cytoskeletal complex at adhesion sites
Cadherins impart strong cell-to-cell adhesion that nucleates the assembly of adherens junctions. Initial adhesion events organize a multi-protein, cytoskeletal complex at adhesion sites (Adams et al., 1996, 1998; McNeill et al., 1993). This adhesion complex grows rapidly, organizes the lateral plasma membrane, and helps generate polarized distributions of plasma membrane proteins (Yeaman et al....
متن کاملRho GTPase signaling regulates tight junction assembly and protects tight junctions during ATP depletion.
Tight junctions control paracellular permeability and cell polarity. Rho GTPase regulates tight junction assembly, and ATP depletion of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells (an in vitro model of renal ischemia) disrupts tight junctions. The relationship between Rho GTPase signaling and ATP depletion was examined. Rho inhibition resulted in decreased localization of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) a...
