Inflammation and dephosphorylation of the tight junction protein occludin in an experimental model of multiple sclerosis
Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the CNS in which inflammation, demyelination and neurodegeneration contribute to its initiation and progression. A frequently employed model of MS is experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Here, to gain new insights into the disease process, an analysis of proteins in extracts of lumbar spinal cord from naïve and EAE rats was undertaken. The data mainly confirm that inflammation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown are the major hallmarks of disease in this model. Given their importance in the BBB, junctional proteins were further investigated. Occludin, a protein localizing to tight junctions in brain endothelial cells, showed strikingly increased migration in EAE when analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). This increased migration was mimicked by in vitro phosphatase treatment, implying its dephosphorylation in EAE. Occludin dephosphorylation coincided with the onset of inflammation, slightly preceding visible signs of disease, and was just prior to apparent changes in BBB permeability. These findings suggest occludin is a target for signaling processes in EAE, perhaps regulating the response of the BBB to the inflammatory environment as seen in MS.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
