Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction

The airway epithelial barrier function is important in maintaining the homeostasis in the body. A number of airway disorders are associated with the epithelial barrier dysfunction. The present study aims to elucidate a possible mechanism by which the proteolytic allergens compromise the epithelial barrier function. The airway epithelial cell line, RPMI 2650 cells (Rp cells) and kidney epithelial cell line, MDCK cells, were cultured to be monolayers and used as an in vitro epithelial barrier model. House dust mite antigen, Der P1 (Der) was used as an antigen that has the proteolytic property. The epithelial barrier permeability and transepithelial resistance (TER) were used as the indicators of epithelial barrier function. Both epithelial cell lines could endocytose Der in the culture. Some of the Der was transported across the epithelial barrier to the basal chambers of the Transwells without affecting the TER. The endocytic Der could suppress the expression of ubiquitin E3 lases A20 and further interfered with the fusion of endosome/lysosome in the epithelial cells. Mite antigen, Der, can interfere with the fusion of endosome/lysosome in epithelial cells to induce the epithelial barrier dysfunction.

Capsaicin is a spicy, highly pungent, colorless, vanilloid compound found in chili peppers with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cancer, and analgesic properties. However, the protective effects of capsaicin on the pig intestine during inflammation are yet to be explored. This study investigated the effects of capsaicin on the gut inflammatory response, intestinal epithelial integrity, and gene expression level of nutrient transporters in a model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in non-differentiated intestinal porcine epithelial cell line-J2 (IPEC-J2). The results showed that the pre-treatment of cells with capsaicin (100 μM) significantly decreased the gene expression and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines induced by LPS through Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/NF-κB signaling pathway. In addition, pre-treatment of cells with capsaicin also increased both gene and protein abundance of tight junction proteins. Furthermore, pre-treatment cells with capsaicin significantly increased trans-epithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and decreased permeability of fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran (FD4) from the apical side to the basolateral side compared with the control (P < 0.05). Additionally, pre-treatment of cells with capsaicin upregulated the mRNA abundance of nutrients transporters such as Na+/glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1). These results suggested that capsaicin could attenuate LPS-induced inflammation response through TLR4/NF-κB pathway and improve barrier integrity and glucose absorption.

Mechanical Barrier

A steady and continuous supply of oxygen is important for humans, since an excess or deficiency in oxygen levels may result in the death of cells, tissues, or organisms. As a mechanical barrier against pathogens, the respiratory epithelium is always exposed to hypoxia in some detrimental external environments and/or pathologic states. The barrier function is accordingly impaired as a result of the disrupted cell composition ratio, ion transport, and tight junctions in a hypoxia-inducible factor-dependent or independent way. Hypoxia has been identified as an element of the primary or secondary pathogenic factors of many respiratory diseases. Still, the relationship between hypoxia and epithelial barrier dysfunction is not fully understood. Thus, we summarized recent researches on epithelial barrier dysfunction induced by hypoxia in the respiratory system, aiming to explore the possible therapeutic targets in hypoxia-related respiratory system diseases.

An epithelial cell line, NPC/HK1, has recently been established from a biopsy specimen of a recurrent tumour of the nasopharynx which was histologically diagnosed as a moderately to well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. A definite decrease in the amount of tonofilaments and desmosomes in the NPC/HK1 cells during the cell line establishment was observed. The present communication reports on the fine structures of the NPC/HK1 cells heterotraneplanted in athymic nude mice.

Bewo Cell Line

Growth of cell system (BeWo-cell line) derived from human gestational choriocarcinoma has been established and continuously maintained in-vitro. Furthermore, it is evident from the previous studies that this cell line has retained the physiological function of the placental trophoblasts, namely the synthesis of human chorionic gonadotrophil(HCG).The BeWo cells were relatively small and possessed single nuclei, thus indicating that this cell line consists exclusively of cytotrophoblasts. In some instances cells appeared widely separated and their lateral surfaces were provided with numerous microvilli (Fig.1).
