Pro-inflammatory cytokines alter tight junction self-assembly and barrier function through
claudin heterotypic incompatibility.
Christopher T. Capaldo, Ph.D.Emory University
DISCLOSURES
• Nothing to disclose
• Barrier defects are linked to IBD.
• Epithelial Tight Junctions provide the paracellular barrier.
• Barrier properties depend on transmembrane claudins.
• Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IFN-g and TNF-a, disrupt Tight Junctions and claudin function.
• Tight Junctions are dynamic structures.(Sasaki PNAS, 2003. Shen J Cell Bio.2008)
• Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP)
• Are these dynamics disrupted in the presence of pro inflammatory cytokines?
IFN-g/TNF-a increase claudin-4 dynamics
(48hrs)
Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP)
• Increased recovery• Little or no planar TJ
diffusion.
IFN-g/TNF-a increases claudin-4 partitioning into the mobile Junction sub-pool.
• Cytokine alter Mf/If partitioning.
• Cytokines do not alter t1/2 of recovery.
• Does this reflect a change in TJ structure?

If not TJ structure, then is TJ composition changed?
Claudin-4 excludes claudin-2 from the TJ.
• Claudin 2 and 4 are heterotypically incompatible across cells, but not within the same cell.
(Daugherty 2007, Piontek, 2011)
• Is this responsible for cytokine-induced changes in mobility?
• Does this play a role in cytokine –induced barrier loss?
Claudin-4 excludes claudin-2 from the TJ.
Claudin 4 rescues cytokine-induced changes in mobility and barrier function

Summary and working model
IFN-g/TNF-a Claudin 4
Claudin 2• IFN-g/TNF-a increase
claudin 2 levels (1).• Claudin 2 competes
with claudin 4 at the junction.
• Resulting in increased mobile pool claudin 4 and lower barrier function over time.
