Abstract

Background & aims Barrier function of the inflamed intestinal mucosa can be compromised by reactive oxygen metabolites that increase mucosal permeability and disrupt the actin cytoskeleton, the integrity of which is important for maintaining tight epithelial junctions. Because heat-shock protein 72 (hsp72) protects intestinal epithelial cells against injury, we determined whether resistance of Caco2/bbe (C2) intestinal monolayer barrier function was related to their high endogenous hsp72 expression. Methods hsp72 anti-sense (C2/AS) and vector-only transfected C2 (C2/CEP4) clones, lines that exhibit low and high hsp72 expression, respectively, were studied. Permeability was assessed by measuring electrical resistance and mannitol fluxes and actin organization by confocal fluorescein isothiocyanate-phalloidin analysis. Results Basal transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) and mannitol fluxes were not significantly different between groups. However, the oxidant monochloramine rapidly decreased TER and increased mannitol permeability of C2/AS monolayers compared with C2/CEP4 (50% effective doses at 30 minutes were 0.53 +/- 0.11 and 2.06 +/- 0.34 mmol/L, respectively). Associated with these changes, decreased cell viability, dissociation and aggregation of perijunctional and stress actin filaments, loss of cell height, and increased intercellular separation were observed only in C2/AS cells treated with monochloramine. Conclusions hsp72 protects intestinal epithelial barrier function against oxidant-induced stress, in part, by protecting the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Chloramines are membrane penetrating oxidants and react rapidly with sulphhydryl groups of proteins in the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix, causing disruption of tight junctions and an almost immediate increase in epithelial permeability.

    “Chloramines are membrane penetrating oxidants and react rapidly with sulphhydryl groups of proteins in the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix causing disruption of tight junctions and an almost immediate increase in epithelial permeability, as shown in in vitro studies [ (Tatsumi and Fliss 1994;Nakamura et al. 1995;Musch et al. 1999), as cited by Carbonnelle et al. (2002)].”

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.
