Project description:In the initial process of COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 infects respiratory epithelial cells and then transfers to other organs via the blood vessels. It is believed that SARS-CoV-2 can pass the vascular wall by altering the endothelial barrier using an unknown mechanism. In this study, we investigated the effect of SARS-CoV-2 on the endothelial barrier using an airway-on-a-chip that mimics respiratory organs and found that SARS-CoV-2 produced from infected epithelial cells disrupts the barrier by decreasing Claudin-5 (CLDN5), a tight junction protein, and disrupting vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin)-mediated adherens junctions. Consistently, the gene and protein expression levels of CLDN5 in a COVID-19 patient’s lungs were decreased. CLDN5 overexpression or Fluvastatin treatment could rescue the SARS-CoV-2-induced respiratory endothelial barrier disruption. We therefore concluded that the downregulation of CLDN5 expression is a pivotal mechanism for SARS-CoV-2-induced endothelial barrier disruption in respiratory organs and that inducing CLDN5 expression is a novel therapeutic strategy against COVID-19.

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA)-mediated mRNA regulation directs many homeostatic and pathological processes, but how miRNAs coordinate aberrant esophageal inflammation during eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is poorly understood. Here, we report a deregulatory axis where microRNA-155 (miR-155) regulates epithelial barrier dysfunction by selectively constraining tight junction CLDN7 (claudin-7). MiR-155 is elevated in the esophageal epithelium of biopsies from patients with active EoE and in cell culture models. miR-155 localisation using in situ hybridisation (ISH) in patient biopsies, and intra-epithelial compartmentalisation of miR-155 shows expression predominantly within the basal epithelia. Epithelial miR-155 activity was evident through diminished target gene expression in 3D organotypic cultures, particularly in relatively undifferentiated basal cell states. Mechanistically, generation of a novel cell line with enhanced epithelial miR-155 stable overexpression induced a functionally deficient epithelial barrier in 3D air-liquid interface epithelial cultures measured by transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER). Histological assessment of 3D esophageal organoid cultures overexpressing miR-155 showed notable dilated intra-epithelial spaces. Unbiased RNA-sequencing analysis and immunofluorescence determined a defect in epithelial barrier tight junctions and revealed a selective reduction in the expression of critical esophageal tight junction molecule, claudin-7. Together, our data reveal a previously unappreciated role for miR-155 in mediating epithelial barrier dysfunction in esophageal inflammation.

Project description:Claudin proteins are major constituents of epithelial and endothelial tight junctions (TJ), where they serve as regulators of paracellular permeability to ions and solutes. Claudin-18, a member of the large claudin family, is highly expressed in lung epithelium. To elucidate the role of claudin-18 in alveolar epithelial barrier function and fluid homeostasis, we generated claudin-18 knockout (C18 KO) mice. Increased alveolar fluid clearance (AFC) observed in C18 KO mice may have accounted for absence of lung edema despite increased alveolar solute permeability compared to wild type (WT) controls. Higher AFC in C18 KO mice was associated with higher Na-K-ATPase activity and increased expression of the Na-K-ATPase β1 subunit compared to WT controls. Consistent with in vivo findings, alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) monolayers derived from C18 KO mice exhibited lower transepithelial electrical resistance (RT) accompanied by increased solute and ion permeability without changes in ion selectivity. Expression of claudin-3 and claudin-4 was markedly increased in whole lung and in freshly isolated AEC from C18 KO mice, while claudin-5 was unchanged. In contrast, occludin, another major component of the TJ complex, was significantly decreased in C18 KO lung. Further analysis revealed rearrangements in the F-actin cytoskeleton in C18 KO MAECM. These findings demonstrate a crucial non-redundant role for claudin-18 in regulation of alveolar epithelial tight junction composition and permeability to ions and solutes. Importantly, increased AFC in C18 KO mice identifies additional roles for claudin-18 in alveolar fluid homeostasis beyond its direct contributions to barrier properties of the alveolar epithelium. Animals with a ubiquitous knockout (C18 KO) were obtained by crossing mice harboring a conditional (floxed) allele of claudin-18 (Cldn18F/F) with CMV-cre deleter mice to delete exons 2 and 3 by Cre/loxP recombination.

Project description:Background: Lymphocytic colitis (LC) causes watery diarrhea. This study aimed to identify the inherent pathomechanisms of epithelial transport and barrier dysfunction and regulatory inputs. Methods: 8 (4 LC samples and 4 unrelated control samples) biopsies of fresh sigmoid colon were analysed by paired end sequencing (Illumina High Seq 2500) Conclusions: ENaC-mediated Na+ malabsorption via ERK1/2 and epithelial barrier dysfunction from tight junction downregulation through claudin-4, -5, and -8 are mechanisms causing malabsorptive and leak flux diarrhea in LC resulting from the key effector cytokines TNFa and INFg.

Project description:Analysis of the complex expression of claudin genes and transcription factors during intestinal epithelial cell differentiation across the crypt-to-surface colonic axis. Characterization of the complex expression gradients of transcription factors Hopx, Hnf4a, Klf4 and Tcfl2 and 12 claudin genes. In vitro confirmatory methods identified two pathways that stimulate claudin expression; Hopx/Klf4 activation of Cldn4, 7 and 15, and Tcf7l2/Hnf4a upregulation of Cldn23. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation confirmed a Tcf7l2/Hnf4a/Claudin23 cascade. Hnf4a conditional knockout mice fail to induce Cldn23 during colonocyte differentiation.

Project description:The mucosal epithelium plays a key role in regulating immune homeostasis. Dysregulation of epithelial barrier function is associated with mucosal inflammation. Expression of claudin-2, a pore-forming tight junction protein, is highly upregulated during inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and, due to its association with epithelial permeability, has been postulated to promote inflammation. Furthermore, claudin-2 also regulates colonic epithelial cell proliferation and intestinal nutrient absorption. However, the precise role of claudin-2 in regulating colonic epithelial and immune homeostasis remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate, using Villin-Claudin-2 transgenic (Cl-2TG) mice, that increased colonic claudin-2 expression unexpectedly protects mice against experimentally induced colitis and colitis-associated cancer. Notably, Cl-2TG mice exhibited increased colon length and permeability as compared with wild type (WT) littermates. However, despite their leaky colon, Cl-2TG mice subjected to experimental colitis were immune compromised, with reduced induction of TLR-2, TLR-4, Myd-88 expression and NF-kB and STAT3 activation. Most importantly, colonic macrophages in Cl-2TG mice exhibited an anergic phenotype. Claudin-2 overexpression also increased colonocyte proliferation and provided protection against colitis-induced colonocyte death. Taken together, our findings have revealed a critical role of claudin-2 in regulating colonic homeostasis, suggesting novel therapeutic strategies for inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. 8-10 weeks old male Villin-Claudin-2 transgenic mice and WT littermates were provided either normal drinking water (control) or Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS: 4% w/v) for 10 days. 3 replicates each.
