However, it is not clear whether these cells are involved in further induction of immune responses after they are activated in dysregulated epidermis. In this study, we found that activated gd T cells expressed occludin and migrated into draining lymph nodes in an occludin- dependent manner. Epidermal gd T cells in occludin-deficient mice exhibited impairments in morphology changes and motility, although they expressed activation markers at levels comparable to those in wild-type cells. Occludin deficiency weakened the induction of allergen-induced contact hypersensitivity, primarily as the result of the impaired migration of epidermal gd T cells. Thus, occludin expression by epidermal gd T cells upon activation in response to epidermal stress allows them to move, which Downloaded from could be important for augmentation of immune responses via collaboration with other cells.

  • Cell Biology of Tight Junction Barrier Regulation and Mucosal Disease

Turner Departments of Pathology and Medicine (Gastroenterology), Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115 Correspondence: [email protected] Mucosal surfaces are lined by epithelial cells. In the intestine, the epithelium establishes a selectively permeable barrier that supports nutrient absorption and waste secretion while preventing intrusion by luminal materials. Intestinal epithelia therefore play a central role in regulating interactions between the mucosal immune system and luminal contents, which include dietary antigens, a diverse intestinal microbiome, and pathogens. The paracellular space is sealed by the tight junction, which is maintained by a complex network of protein interactions. Tight junction dysfunction has been linked to a variety of local and systemic diseases. Two molecularly and biophysically distinct pathways across the intestinal tight junc- tion are selectively and differentially regulated by inflammatory stimuli. This review discusses the mechanisms underlying these events, their impact on disease, and the potential of using these as paradigms for development of tight junction-targeted therapeutic interventions. ucosal surfaces and the epithelial cells that adherens).

  • Defenders and Challengers of Endothelial Barrier Function
    REVIEW published: 18 December 2017 doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2017.01847 Defenders and Challengers of Endothelial Barrier Function Nader Rahimi* Department of Pathology, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, United States Regulated vascular permeability is an essential feature of normal physiology and its dysfunction is associated with major human diseases ranging from cancer to inflam- mation and ischemic heart diseases. Integrity of endothelial cells also play a prominent role in the outcome of surgical procedures and organ transplant. Endothelial barrier function and integrity are regulated by a plethora of highly specialized transmembrane receptors, including claudin family proteins, occludin, junctional adhesion molecules (JAMs), vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin, and the newly identified immunoglobulin (Ig) and proline-rich receptor-1 (IGPR-1) through various distinct mechanisms and signaling. On the other hand, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its tyrosine kinase receptor, VEGF receptor-2, play a central role in the destabilization of endothelial barrier function. While claudins and occludin regulate cell–cell junction via recruitment of zonula occludens (ZO), cadherins via catenin proteins, and JAMs via ZO and afadin, IGPR-1 recruits bullous pemphigoid antigen 1 [also called dystonin (DST) and SH3 protein inter- Edited by: acting with Nck90/WISH (SH3 protein interacting with Nck)].

  • Occludin Is Required for Cytokine-Induced Regulation of Tight Junction Barriers

Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd doi:10.1242/jcs.065581 Summary The function of occludin remains elusive. Proposed roles include maintenance of tight junction barriers, signaling and junction remodeling. To investigate a potential role in mediating cytokine-induced changes in barrier properties, we measured barrier responses to interferon- plus TNF in control, occludin-overexpressing and occludin knockdown MDCK II monolayers. MDCK cells show a complex response to cytokines characterized by a simultaneous increase in the transepithelial electrical resistance and a decrease in the barrier for large solutes. We observed that overexpression of occludin increased and occludin knockdown decreased sensitivity to cytokines as assessed by both these parameters. It is known that caveolin-1 interacts with occludin and is implicated in several models of cytokine-dependent barrier disruption; we found that occludin knockdown altered the subcellular distribution of caveolin-1 and that partitioning of caveolin into detergent-insoluble lipid rafts was influenced by changing occludin levels. Knockdown of caveolin decreased the cytokine-induced flux increase, whereas the increase in the electrical barrier was unaltered; the effect of double knockdown of occludin and caveolin was similar to that of occludin single knockdown, consistent with the possibility that they function in the same pathway.
