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:To investigate the claudin-7 function in vivo, we generated a claudin-7 knockout mouse model by gene targeting through homologous recombination. In this study, we report that Cln7-/- pups show Na+, Cl-, and K+ wasting and chronic dehydration phenotypes. The dramatic increase of aldosterone synthase mRNA level suggests that these mice suffer from mishandling of NaCl and fluid in the distal nephrons. Deletion of claudin-7 invokes several compensatory changes, such as increased renin, serum-glucocorticoid-induced kinase 1 (SGK1), epithelial Na+ channel (ENaCα), Na+-Cl- cotransporter (NCC), as well as aquaporin (AQP) 2 mRNA levels, demonstrating the cross talks between paracellular and transcellular ion transport pathways.

Project description:Interactome study of the pan-claudin family by combining two complementary pull-down techniques followed by mass spectrometry to create an interaction landscape of the claudin family. Co-immunoprecipitation (CoIP) of recombinant claudins expressed in MDCK-C7 cells provided information about interactions beyond the already known TJ proteins. A protein interaction screen on a peptide matrix (PRISMA) allowed mapping interactions along the disordered cytosolic C-terminal region of claudins and studying the effect of post-translational modifications (PTMs) on these interactions. The new interaction partners of the C-terminus of several claudins were confirmed by proximity ligation assays (PLA) and revealed their possible implications in localized biological processes in epithelial cells. By combining these approaches, we created an extended interaction map of the claudin protein family, expanding the current knowledge in the field.

Project description:The paracellular passage of ions in epithelial systems is dictated by the repertoire of tight junction (TJ) proteins, the number and architecture of apicolateral TJ strands, and the interaction of TJ proteins with the cytoskeleton. To investigate the relative contribution of these factors and to explore their regulation, we examined a passage number dependent phenotypic change in Madin Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells iteratively passaged at low density in which dilution potentials of the monolayer abruptly decreased but transepithelial resistance (TER) progressively increased. Here, we report that the phenotypic transition involved a decrease surface expression of peanut agglutinin (PNA), a decrease in steady state levels of claudin-1 and a slight decrease in E-cadherin expression in the context of an apparently claudin-2-negative system. Late passage cells grew in more densely packed monolayers and exhibited characteristics of a competent, functional cultured monolayer including inducible vectorial ion transport in response to norepinephrine (NE) and sphere formation in three dimensional laminin gel culture. Microarray analysis of gene expression levels in early and late passage cells revealed an increase in transcript abundance for SGK and GLUT-3, and a reduction Id-3. The steady state protein expression levels of GLUT-3, however, were found to be equivalent. These findings suggest that the expression of claudin-2 in MDCK cells could be contingent on signaling via lateral cell contacts and that claudin-1, in the context of sustained claudin-8 expression, could function as a negative regulator of overall TER. 3 biological replicates of early and late passage were run on Affymetrix chips. the replicates were averaged then compared.

Project description:Rat chondrocytes were divided into control group (RP), thrombin group (RPT), and thrombin plus inhibitor group (RPTi). The differential genes were identified by RNA-sequencing, and verified by western blot (WB), quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), cell immunofluorescence (IF), endoplasmic reticulum (ER) staining, functional enrichment analysis, and Gene Ontology (GO).

Project description:T-lymphocytes from visceral and subcutaneous white adipose tissue (vWAT and sWAT, respectively) can have opposing roles in the systemic metabolic changes associated with obesity. However, few studies have focused on this subject. Claudin-1 (CLDN1) is a protein involved canonically in Tight Junctions (TJs) and tissue paracellular permeability. We evaluated the gene expression in T lymphocytes from vWAT and sWAT and in the whole adipose depots.

Project description:Claudins are tight junction proteins that are involved in tight junction formation and function. Previous studies have shown that claudin-7 is frequently upregulated in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) along with claudin-3 and claudin-4. Here, we investigate in detail the expression patterns of claudin-7, as well as its possible functions in EOC. Initially a total of 95 ovarian tissue samples (7 normal ovarian tissues, 65 serous carcinomas, 11 clear cell carcinomas, 8 endometrioid carcinomas and 4 mucinous carcinomas) were studied for claudin-7 expression using RT-PCR analysis. The gene for claudin-7, CLDN7, was found to be significantly upregulated in all the tumor tissue samples studied. Similarly, immunohistochemical analysis and western blotting showed that claudin-7 protein was significantly overexpressed in the vast majority of EOCs. Two cell lines(OVCAR-2 and OVCA420) were chosen for microarray based gene expression analysis using small interfering RNA-mediated(SiRNA) knockdown of claudin-7. This treatment led to significant changes in gene expression that was validated by RT-PCR and immunoblotting.
