Project Summary/Abstract Epithelial barrier loss is a pathogenic component of numerous diseases of the intestines and other organs. The multi-protein tight junction complex forms the paracellular barrier between adjacent cells and limits the flux of large and small solutes across the paracellular pathway. Many interactions between tight junction proteins have been described. The peripheral membrane scaffolding protein, zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) mediates several of these interactions by direct binding through distinct domains. ZO-1 has been reported to interact with over 20 proteins, including claudins, ZO-2 and ZO-3, junctional adhesion molecule (JAM), G-alpha-12, alpha-catenin, occludin, F-actin, cortactin, and cingulin. Recent studies from our laboratory have shown that the tight junction is highly dynamic, even at steady state. Published studies and my preliminary data suggest that subtle changes in ZO-1 interactions can result in marked changes in the dynamic properties of tight junction proteins and barrier function. As further evidence that ZO-1 may be a critical determinant of barrier function, ZO-1 is inappropriately redistributed following treatment of epithelia with the cytokine TNF, which is central to barrier loss and pathogenesis in Crohn¿s and experimental inflammatory bowel disease. The precise mechanisms of ZO-1 involvement in barrier function are poorly understood, however. Thus, the objective of this proposal is to define the contributions of specific molecular interactions between ZO-1 and other tight junction proteins to ZO- 1 dynamic behavior, barrier function, and barrier regulation. Based on strong published and preliminary data, my central hypothesis is that interactions between ZO-1 and other proteins define normal trafficking and dynamic behaviors at steady state and in response to exogenous stimuli. To test this hypothesis, I will determine how specific ZO-1 domain deletions impact the trafficking and dynamic exchange of ZO-1 and other tight junction proteins to regulate epithelial barrier function (Aim 1) and define the roles of specific ZO-1 domains in response to physiologically- and pathophysiologically-relevant stimuli, including TNF (Aim 2). Within these aims, I will use innovative tools and techniques to comprehensively assess, for the first time, the impact of ZO-1 interactions on epithelial barrier structure and function. These studies are significant because the data, which are expected to identify ZO-1 domains that are linked to distinct disease-associated barrier defects, will benefit human health by providing information necessary to target specific ZO-1 interactions, restore barrier function, and prevent disease progression.

项目概要/摘要 上皮屏障丧失是肠道和其他器官的许多疾病的致病成分。多蛋白紧密连接复合物在相邻细胞之间形成细胞旁屏障，并限制大和小溶质穿过细胞旁途径之间的许多相互作用。据报道，外周膜支架蛋白 zonula occlusionns-1 (ZO-1) 通过不同的结构域直接结合来介导其中的几种相互作用，其中包括 20 多种蛋白质。紧密连接蛋白、ZO-2 和 ZO-3、连接粘附分子 (JAM)、G-α-12、α-连环蛋白、occludin、F-肌动蛋白、cortactin 和 cingulin 我们实验室的最新研究表明，紧密连接是紧密连接的。已发表的研究和我的初步数据表明，ZO-1 相互作用的细微变化可能导致紧密连接蛋白和屏障功能的动态特性发生显着变化。有证据表明 ZO-1 可能是屏障功能的关键决定因素，用细胞因子 TNF 治疗上皮细胞后，ZO-1 不适当地重新分布，这对于克罗恩病的屏障丧失和发病机制至关重要。然而，ZO-1 参与屏障功能的确切机制尚不清楚，因此，该提案的目的是确定 ZO-1 与其他紧密连接蛋白之间的特定分子相互作用的贡献。 ZO-1 动态行为、屏障功能和屏障调节 基于已发表的强有力的初步数据，我的中心假设是 ZO-1 和其他蛋白质之间的相互作用定义了稳态下的正常运输和动态行为以及对外源刺激的响应。为了检验这个假设，我将确定如何特定 ZO-1 结构域缺失影响 ZO-1 和其他紧密连接蛋白的运输和动态交换，以调节上皮屏障功能（目标 1）并定义特定 ZO-1 结构域响应生理和病理生理相关刺激的作用，包括 TNF（目标 2），我将首次使用创新工具和技术全面评估 ZO-1 相互作用对上皮屏障结构和功能的影响。意义重大，因为这些数据预计将识别与不同疾病相关的屏障缺陷相关的 ZO-1 结构域，将通过提供针对特定 ZO-1 相互作用、恢复屏障功能和预防疾病进展所需的信息，有益于人类健康。
