摘要
Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretes N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-homoserine lactone (C12) as a quorum-sensing molecule to regulate gene expression. Micromolar concentrations are found in the airway surface liquid of infected lungs. Exposure of the airway surface to C12 caused a loss of transepithelial resistance within 1 h that was accompanied by disassembly of tight junctions, as indicated by relocation of the tight junction protein zonula occludens 1 from the apical to the basolateral pole and into the cytosol of polarized human airway epithelial cell cultures (Calu-3 and primary tracheal epithelial cells). These effects were blocked by carbobenzoxy-valyl-alanyl-aspartyl-[O-methyl]-fluoromethylketone, a pan-caspase blocker, indicating that tight junction disassembly was an early event in C12-triggered apoptosis. Short-duration (10 min) pretreatment of airway epithelial (Calu-3 and JME) cells with 1 μM thapsigargin (Tg), an inhibitor of Ca(2+) uptake into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), was found to be protective against the C12-induced airway epithelial barrier breakdown and also against other apoptosis-related effects, including shrinkage and fragmentation of nuclei, activation of caspase 3/7 (the executioner caspase in apoptosis), release of ER-targeted redox-sensitive green fluorescent protein into the cytosol, and depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential. Pretreatment of Calu-3 airway cell monolayers with BAPTA-AM [to buffer cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration (Cacyto)] or Ca(2+)-free solution + BAPTA-AM reduced C12 activation of apoptotic events, suggesting that C12-triggered apoptosis may involve Ca(2+). Because C12 and Tg reduced Ca(2+) concentration in the ER and increased Cacyto, while Tg increased mitochondrial Ca(2+) concentration (Camito) and C12 reduced Camito, it is proposed that Tg may reduce C12-induced apoptosis in host cells not by raising Cacyto, but by preventing C12-induced decreases in Camito.
