Victoria and Yamagata lineages of influenza B viruses are globally circulating in seasonal epidemics. Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells are permissive for viral isolation and vaccine manufacture. Nevertheless, the interplay between influenza B viruses and host microRNAs has not been investigated in this cell line. Therefore, the present study aims at high-throughput analysis of canine microRNA profile upon infection of influenza B viruses. Briefly, MDCK cells were infected with Victoria or Yamagata lineage at MOI of 0.01. After being harvested at 6, 12 and 24 h post infection, microRNAs were subjected to high-throughput sequencing based on MiSeq platform (Illumina). The results demonstrated that five microRNAs including cfa-miR-197, cfa-miR-215, cfa-miR361, cfa-miR-1841, and cfa-miR-1842 were overexpressed in both Victoria and Yamagata lineage infections. Interestingly, computational prediction showed that karyopherin alpha 6 (KPNA6) was targeted by cfa-miR-197 and cfa-miR-215. Moreover, the binding sites of both microRNAs were assessed by 3′-UTR reporter assay. The results showed that only cfa-miR-197 could bind to the target sites of KPNA6, leading to suppressing luciferase activity. Additionally, silencing of KPNA6 was confirmed by overexpression of cfa-miR-197. This study provides canine microRNA responses to seasonal influenza B viruses, suggesting that virus-mediated microRNAs might play crucial roles in host gene regulation.

The development of a cell culture model which simulates the properties of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) is necessary for the detection of neurotoxic chemicals that can disrupt the barrier, and to provide a more “risk relevant” in vitro screening battery. The present study evaluates the Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cell line for this purpose. Changes in electrical resistance and enzyme activities were correlated in confluent MDCK cells exposed to the neurotoxic metal, triethyl tin (TET). Concentrations of TET (0.001–10μM) were established that produced depression in electrical resistance of the MDCK cells after exposure for 8 hours or caused fluorescein leakage after exposure for 72 hours. Confluent cultures of MDCK cells were then exposed to these concentrations of TET and assayed after exposure for 24 hours and 72 hours for changes in those enzymes common to both epithelial and cerebral endothelial cells. The results indicated that increased alkaline phosphatase (APP), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTP) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) characterised the loss of electrical resistance and permeability disruption in TET-exposed MDCK confluent cultures. Relative increases in APP and decreases in GGTP activities preceded cytotoxicity, which was associated with a high SOD activity. Such enzyme changes may be predictive endpoints of barrier cell disruption by neurotoxic metals in this cell line and support the additional evaluation of the MDCK cell line as an in vitro “screen” for chemicals that disrupt the BBB.

Basal free Mg2+ concentration was 0.49 +/- 0.03 mM in normal single Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells as measured by fluorescence with the aid of mag-fura-2. Accordingly, Mg2+ may enter the cell down a transmembrane electrical gradient. The present study describes some aspects of Mg2+ entry into the established MDCK cell line. MDCK cells were Mg2(+)-depleted (0.26 +/- 0.01 mM) by culturing in Mg2(+)-free media for 16-20 h. Cells were subsequently exposed to 5 mM MgCl2, and intracellular Mg2+ concentration ([Mg2+]i) was monitored with fluorescence. [Mg2+]i returned to normal basal levels, 0.56 +/- 0.05 mM, with a refill rate of 272 +/- 39 nM/s, n = 4. Mg2+ entry was not changed by 5.0 mM external Ca2+ but was completely inhibited with 5.0 mM La3+. Intracellular Ca2+ concentration was not altered by Mg2+ depletion or during Mg2+ repletion. Mg2+ uptake was inhibited by verapamil (0 +/- 27 nM/s, n = 3), was inhibited less so by diltiazem (141 +/- 34 nM/s, n = 3), and was not affected by nifedipine (300 +/- 53 nM/s, n = 6). These inhibitors were fully reversible on removal, and [Mg2+]i returned to normal levels. These data indicate the presence of a unique Mg2+ entry pathway in MDCK cells that may be important in Mg2+ homeostasis. The model of Mg2+ refill into Mg2(+)-depleted cells may be useful in other cell types.

Intracellular accumulation of different betaines was compared in osmotically stressed Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells to model the betaine accumulation specificity of the mammalian inner medulla and to show how this accumulation differed from that of bacteria. All betaines accumulated less than glycine betaine. Arsenobetaine (the arsenic analogue of glycine betaine) accumulated to 12% of the glycine betaine levels and the sulphur analogue dimethylthetin accumulated to >80%. Most substituted glycine betaine analogues accumulated to 2–5% of intracellular glycine betaine concentrations, however, serine betaine accumulated to <0.5% of glycine betaine levels. Inhibition studies to distinguish the betaine ports were performed by the addition of proline. Butyrobetaine and carnitine accumulation was not proline sensitive, whereas that of omer betaines was. As with glycine betaine, the accumulation of propionobetaine and dimethylthetin was proline sensitive and osmoregulated. Pyridinium betaine was accumulated by both proline-sensitive and -insensitive systems, with a small increase under osmotic stress. High concentrations (10 times that of glycine betaine) of the dietary betaines proline betaine and trigonelline inhibited total betaine accumulation. Because α-substituted betaines are accumulated by bacteria and not by MDCK cells, these betaines may be the basis for design of antimicrobial agents.Key words: MDCK cells, betaine accumulation, osmolytes, betaine analogues.

Sorting of newly synthesized plasma membrane proteins to the apical or basolateral surface domains of polarized cells is currently thought to take place within the trans-Golgi network (TGN). To explore the relationship between protein localization to the TGN and sorting to the plasma membrane in polarized epithelial cells, we have expressed constructs encoding the TGN marker, TGN38, in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. We report that TGN38 is predominantly localized to the TGN of these cells and recycles via the basolateral membrane. Analyses of the distribution of Tac-TGN38 chimeric proteins in MDCK cells suggest that the cytoplasmic domain of TGN38 has information leading to both TGN localization and cycling through the basolateral surface. Mutations of the cytoplasmic domain that disrupt TGN localization also lead to nonpolarized delivery of the chimeric proteins to both surface domains. These results demonstrate an apparent equivalence of basolateral and TGN localization determinants and support an evolutionary relationship between TGN and plasma membrane sorting processes.

Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells form polarized, multicellular epithelial structures in vitro. Low-level expression of pp60v-src in MDCK cells elicits plasticity in these multicellular structures. Plasticity was revealed by the displacement of cells from mechanically stressed regions of the epithelial monolayers; however, the two-dimensional relationship between the cells in the remainder of the monolayer was maintained. Electron microscopy of multicellular structures revealed abnormal separation of the lateral membranes of adjacent cells and selective uncoupling of the junctional complex; the zonula adherens was disrupted, but the zonula occludens and desmosomes were retained. Significantly, this result was not accompanied by transformation of the cells, as judged by the absence of anchorage-independent growth potential. These results demonstrate a nonmitogenic biological activity of pp60v-src which is experimentally dissociable from transformation. This morphoregulatory action on higher-order epithelial structures may reflect a function of related cellular tyrosine kinases.

The MAL (MAL/VIP17) proteolipid is a nonglycosylated integral membrane protein expressed in a restricted pattern of cell types, including T lymphocytes, myelin-forming cells, and polarized epithelial cells. Transport of the influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) to the apical surface of epithelial Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells appears to be mediated by a pathway involving glycolipid- and cholesterol- enriched membranes (GEMs). In MDCK cells, MAL has been proposed previously as being an element of the protein machinery for the GEM-dependent apical transport pathway. Using an antisense oligonucleotide-based strategy and a newly generated monoclonal antibody to canine MAL, herein we have approached the effect of MAL depletion on HA transport in MDCK cells. We have found that MAL depletion diminishes the presence of HA in GEMs, reduces the rate of HA transport to the cell surface, inhibits the delivery of HA to the apical surface, and produces partial missorting of HA to the basolateral membrane. These effects were corrected by ectopic expression of MAL in MDCK cells whose endogenous MAL protein was depleted. Our results indicate that MAL is necessary for both normal apical transport and accurate sorting of HA.
