目的:探讨谷氨酰胺(Gln)对大鼠肠缺血再灌注损伤后闭合蛋白(occludin)的保护作用及其可能机制。方法:成年雄性Wistar大鼠30只随机分为假手术组(sham组)、缺血再灌注损伤组(I/R组)和谷氨酰胺预处理组(Gln组)。Gln组给予谷氨酰胺1 g·kg-1·d-1连续灌胃7 d。Sham组和I/R组以同等剂量生理盐水灌胃7d。Sham组仅分离肠系膜上动脉而根部不夹闭。I/R组和Gln组均用无损伤血管夹夹闭SMA根部30 min后放松血管夹形成再灌注损伤模型。各组大鼠均于制模后24 h采集静脉血和回肠标本。酶联免疫吸附试验检测血清中肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)-α、白细胞介素(IL)-10和IL-2水平。全自动生化仪检测超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、丙二醛(MDA)、谷胱甘肽(GSH)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)水平。免疫组化及Western blotting法检测occludin蛋白的表达情况。结果:I/R组occludin蛋白表达明显低于正常对照组及谷氨酰胺处理组(P0.05);I/R组TNF-α和MDA水平均高于sham组和Gln组(P0.05)。I/R组血清的SOD活力、GSH、GSH-Px、IL-10和IL-2均低于sham组和Gln组(P0.05)。结论:谷氨酰胺对肠缺血再灌注损伤后的occludin蛋白具有保护作用,其机制可能与抑制炎症反应、抗氧化应激有关。

Tyrosine phosphatase inhibition induces loss of blood-brain barrier integrity by matrix metalloproteinase-dependent and -independent pathways

Tight junctions between endothelial cells of brain capillaries form the structural basis of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which controls the exchange of molecules between blood and CNS. Regulation of cellular barrier permeability is a vital and complex process involving intracellular signalling and rearrangement of tight junction proteins. We have analysed the impact of tyrosine phosphatase inhibition on tight junction proteins and endothelial barrier integrity in a primary cell culture model based on porcine brain capillary endothelial cells (PBCEC) that closely mimics the BBB in vitro. The tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor phenylarsine oxide (PAO) induced increased matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, which was paralleled by severe disruption of cell-cell contacts and proteolysis of the tight junction protein occludin. ZO-1 and claudin-5 were not affected. Under these conditions, the transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) was markedly reduced. PAO-induced occludin proteolysis could be prevented by different MMP inhibitors. Pervanadate (PV) reduced the TEER similar to PAO, but did not increase MMP activity. Cell-cell contacts of PV-treated cells appeared unaffected, and occludin proteolysis did not occur. Our results suggest that tyrosine phosphatase inhibition can influence barrier properties independent of, but also correlated to MMPs. Evidence is given for a role of MMPs in endothelial tight junction regulation at the BBB in particular and probably at tight junctions (TJs) in general.     

Effects of cardiopulmonary bypass on tight junction protein expressions in intestinal mucosa of rats

AIM： To investigate the tight junction protein expressions of intestinal mucosa in an experimental model of cardiopulmonary bypass （CPB） in rats. METHODS： Thirty anesthetized rats were randomly divided into two groups： Group S （n = 10） served as sham operation and group C （n = 20） served as CPB which underwent CPB for 1 h. Expression of occludin and zonula occludens-1 （ZO-1） were determined by Western blotting and immunotochemistry, respectively. Plasma levels of diamine oxidase （DAO） and d-lactate were determined using an enzymatic spectrophotometry. RESULTS： Immunohistochemical localization of occludin and ZO-1 showed disruption of the tight junctions in enterocytes lining villi at the end of CPB and 2 h after CPB. The intensities of the occludin and ZO-i at the end of CPB were lower than those of control group （76.4% ± 22.5% vs 96.5% ± 28.5% and 62.4% ± 10.1% vs 85.5% ±25.6%, P 〈 0.05） and were further lower at 2 h after CPB （50.5% ± 10.5% and 45.3% ± 9.5%, P 〈 0.05）. Plasma d-lactate and DAO levels increased significantly （8.688 ± 0.704 vs 5.745 ± 0.364 and 0.898 ± 0.062 vs 0.562 ± 0.035, P 〈 0.05） at the end of CPB compared with control group and were significantly higher at 2 h after CPB than those at the end of CPB （9.377 ± 0.769 and 1.038 ± 0.252, P 〈 0.05）. There were significant negative correlations between occludin or ZO-1 expression and DAO （r^2 = 0.5629,r^2 = 0.5424, P 〈 0.05） or d-lactate levels （r^2 = 0.6512,r^2 = 0.7073, P 〈 0.05） both at the end of CPB and 2 h after CPB. CONCLUSION： CPB markedly down-regulates the expression of occludin and ZO-1 proteins in intestinal mucosa of rats. The close correlation between expression of tight junctions （TJs） and plasma levels of DAO or d-lactate supports the hypothesis that intestinal permeability increases during and after CPB because of decreases in the expressions of TJs.
