Abstract:
BACKGROUND & AIMS:Barrier functions across epithelia and endothelia are essential for homeostatic tissue regulation. Astroglia interact with cerebral endothelia to maintain the blood-brain barrier. Whether similar interactions between astrocyte-like enteric glia and epithelia regulate intestinal barrier function is not known. METHODS:Fluorescent permeability markers were used to measure intestinal barrier function in vivo after conditional ablation of enteric glia in transgenic mice. Enteric glial cell regulation of epithelial barrier integrity then was modeled in vitro using coculture. Glial-derived barrier-inducing factors were characterized using size-exclusion chromatography and mass spectrometry. Epithelial barrier integrity was assessed by transepithelial resistance readings and by quantitative measurement of tight-junction-associated protein expression by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. RESULTS:We show that ablation of enteric glial cells in transgenic mice causes intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction, resulting in inflammation. Glial-derived s-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) was identified as a potent inducer of mucosal barrier function in vitro and in vivo and of attenuated tissue inflammation after ablation of enteric glia in transgenic mice. GSNO regulation of mucosal barrier function was associated directly with an increased expression of perijunctional F-actin and tight-junction-associated proteins zonula occludens-1 and occludin. GSNO also significantly restored mucosal barrier function in colonic biopsy specimens from patients with Crohn's disease, a well-described inflammatory permeability disorder associated with enteric glial-cell disruption. CONCLUSIONS:Enteric glia therefore share the ability of astrocytes to regulate tight-junction integrity, and cellular interactions comparable with those maintaining blood-brain barrier function also regulate epithelial permeability at mucosal surfaces.
