Discovery of mammalian tissue-derived peptides that induce tight junction formation

ABSTRACT: Tight junctions (TJs) are cell-cell adhesion structures that function as barriers between epithelial cells to avoid dehydration, regulate ion permeability and prevent invasion of bacteria and viruses. Disruption of TJs is causative of various inflammatory diseases including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), atopic dermatitis and asthma. We identified TJ-inducing small peptides from mouse peritoneum-conditioned medium. The peptides, which we designate junction-inducing peptide like a zipper (Jipper), are 35-40 residue peptides corresponding to the C-terminal region of alpha1-antitrypsin (A1AT), the serine protease inhibitor abundant in circulating blood. Both mouse and human synthetic Jippers, as well as the human A1AT C-terminal peptides cleaved by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), induces TJs at cell-cell boundary of epithelial cells. Our study identifies the TJ-inducing peptides in mammalian tissues, and provides a basis for a clinically relevant strategy against TJ barrier-disrupted diseases.

Project description:Leber2015 - Mucosal immunity and gut microbiome interaction during C. difficile infection This model is described in the article: Systems Modeling of Interactions between Mucosal Immunity and the Gut Microbiome during Clostridium difficile Infection. Leber A, Viladomiu M, Hontecillas R, Abedi V, Philipson C, Hoops S, Howard B, Bassaganya-Riera J. PLoS ONE 2015; 10(7): e0134849 Abstract: Clostridium difficile infections are associated with the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and result in an exuberant inflammatory response, leading to nosocomial diarrhea, colitis and even death. To better understand the dynamics of mucosal immunity during C. difficile infection from initiation through expansion to resolution, we built a computational model of the mucosal immune response to the bacterium. The model was calibrated using data from a mouse model of C. difficile infection. The model demonstrates a crucial role of T helper 17 (Th17) effector responses in the colonic lamina propria and luminal commensal bacteria populations in the clearance of C. difficile and colonic pathology, whereas regulatory T (Treg) cells responses are associated with the recovery phase. In addition, the production of anti-microbial peptides by inflamed epithelial cells and activated neutrophils in response to C. difficile infection inhibit the re-growth of beneficial commensal bacterial species. Computational simulations suggest that the removal of neutrophil and epithelial cell derived anti-microbial inhibitions, separately and together, on commensal bacterial regrowth promote recovery and minimize colonic inflammatory pathology. Simulation results predict a decrease in colonic inflammatory markers, such as neutrophilic influx and Th17 cells in the colonic lamina propria, and length of infection with accelerated commensal bacteria re-growth through altered anti-microbial inhibition. Computational modeling provides novel insights on the therapeutic value of repopulating the colonic microbiome and inducing regulatory mucosal immune responses during C. difficile infection. Thus, modeling mucosal immunity-gut microbiota interactions has the potential to guide the development of targeted fecal transplantation therapies in the context of precision medicine interventions.
