Characterization of Tight Junction Proteins in Patients with Crohn's Disease and Celiac

How this antigen enter?SkinLungIntestineEyes

Amplified cycle of inflammation, allow further leakage of foreign Ag

Foreign Ag entry through barrier defect

T cell

APC

IFN-γTNF-α

Tissue damage

Intestinal mucosal barrier system• The extrinsic barrier consisting i.e. mucus, bicarbonate, hormones,

cytokines prostaglandins

• The intrinsic barrier is composed of the epithelial cells lining i.e. Junctions and channels• Paracellular pathway (junction)• Transcellular pathway (channel)

Paracellular pathway regulated by 4 specific junction

• Tight Junction • Adherens junction• Desmosomes• Gap junction

TJs regulate intestinal permeability

Normal TJ regulate normal IP

DiseaseNo disease

Disrupted TJ leads to increase IP

• Permeability is a process where molecules are allowed to pass through the epithelial lining by non mediated diffusion

• Barrier properties of the intestinal epithelium are regulated by TJs. It is generally believed that disease related, increase in IP is caused by defects in TJ structure

Distribution of Tight Junctions

• At the tip of the villi the TJs are smaller in size but larger in number and more accessible

• At the crypt the TJs are larger in size but less in number and less accessible

• Small molecules (mannitol , 6.7 Ao) = Villous • Larger molecules (lactulose, 9.5 Ao) = Crypt

TJ proteins in celiac disease↓ ZO-1 in celiac patients (n=10) which normalized 10 months

after treatment (Montalto 2002)

↓ ZO-1 in celiac patients (n=20) which reverse after treatment along with increased IP (Pizzuti 2002)

↓ZO-1 and occludin , on exposure to gliadin in vivo and vitro, zonulin signaling gets activated, leading to increased IP (Drago 2006)

↓ZO-1 and occludin both in in vivo and vitro (Ciccocioppo 2006)

↑ of Claudin- 2 & claudin-3 in naïve celiac patients (n=33) responsible for increased IP (Sapone 2011)

Alteration in TJ proteins leads to increased IP, which improves after GFD( gluten free diet)

TJ proteins in Crohn’s disease

• ↓ of Occludin in colonic epithelial cells of active IBD( UC and CD) play a role in enhanced paracellular permeability (Kucharzik 2001)

• ↑ of Claudin- 2 and ↓ claudin 3 &4, which have different effect of cytokines and leads to increased IP (Shyam Prasad 2005)

• ↑ of Claudin- 2 and ↓ claudin 5 &8 leads altered TJ structure leads barrier dysfunction (Zeissig 2007)

• ↑ claudin-1 and claudin-2 expression may be involved at early stages of transformation in IBD-associated neoplasia( Weber 2008)

Alteration in TJ proteins along with increased IP

IP in celiac and Crohn’s disease

Increased IP has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Crohn’s

disease, celiac disease

Increased IP in celiac patients is 60-80%

Studies for increased IP in case of Crohn’s disease is 36-40%, while

our study is also reported as 36% abnormal IP in Crohn’s disease

patients

Abnormal IP in patients with celiac disease is because of increase

in mannitol, while high lactulose in those with Crohn’s disease

Vogelsang H, Oberhuber G, Wyatt J 1996, Benjamin J, Govind K Makharia 2008

Lacunae

Lack of literature on the differences in tight junction proteins in patients with Crohn’s disease and celiac disease

Lack of knowledge on whether there is a difference in the expression of tight junction proteins in those with or without increase in intestinal permeability

Lack of literature on the effect of treatment in the tight junction proteins expression in Crohn’s disease and celiac disease

Leads to ↑ IP, implicated in pathogenesis of CD and

celiac disease

Restoration of TJP & IP, may improve course of CD and Celiac disease

Differential expression of TJ proteins in CD and

celiac may be attributed toTJs disintegrity

Primary Objective

To study the ultrastructural changes of tight junction and to note the changes of other junctions of a paracellular pathway by electron microscopy

Transmission Electron Microscope

To increase resolution of the object many-folds over conventional light microscope

Image analyses were performed to measure

TJ diameter, Microvilli (MV) length Inter-MV width Mitochondrial diameters (MD)

Sample preparation for TEMSteps Description

Primary fixation Very small 1-2mm2 thick duodenal fragments were directly fixed in 2.5% gluteraldehyde, made in 0.1M sodium phosphate buffer (pH=7.4).

Washing After fixation, repeated washing was made in 0.1M sodium phosphate buffer (pH=7.4).

Post fixation OsO4(1% solution) was used as the secondary fixative, and it preserves the lipid and again washed in 0.1M sodium phosphate buffer (pH=7.4).

Dehydration As the tissue dehydrated by passing through a series of ascending concentration of ethanol

Clearing Epoxy propane was used for removing the traces of water in case of incomplete dehydration.

Embedding Embedding was done in embedding capsule using gelatine or beam capsule.

Polymerization To polymerize tissue, kept at 400 c - 500 c for overnight. After polymerization capsules were washed in water at 700 c.

Steps Description

Staining for LM The semithin sections (thick 0.5 -2µm) was then stained with toludine blue. After cleaning the stained section they were observed under light microscope to mark the area of interest and went for ultra thin section cutting

Staining for EM with Uranyl acetate

Staining of ultrathin section ( thick 70-80 nm) was done with 50µl of uranyl acetate

Staining with Lead acetate

After washing of grid in double distilled water and dried carefully on a filter paper. And stain with Lead acetate and lead citrate inside a petridish.

Washing The grids were then washed in 0.02 M NaOH, followed by twice in double distilled water. The grids were then dried carefully.

Acquiring of images The stained sections were then observed under a Morgagni 268D TEM at an operating voltage 80 kV. Images were digitally acquired by using a CCD camera (Megan view III, Fei Company) attached to the microscope

Summary: Crohn’s disease & celiac disease

Conclusion

Pretreatment TJ proteins

pore forming protein: ↑cld-2

Pore sealing protein : ↓ cld-3

Scaffold protein : ↓ ZO-1 Ultrastructure TJ dilated IP Increase

Celiac diseasePost-treatment TJ proteins

pore forming protein : ↓ cld-2

Scaffold protein : ↑ ZO-1

Ultrastructure TJ dilated IP Reduced

Crohn’s disease

Pretreatment:TJ proteins

pore forming protein : ↑cld-2

Scaffold protein : ↓ ZO-1Ultrastructure TJ dilatedIP Increase

Post-treatment: TJ proteins

pore forming protein : ↓ cld-2

Scaffold protein : ↑ ZO-1 Ultrastructure partially resolved IP Reduced

There was no difference in TJ protein expression, IP and TJ dilation in celiac and Crohn’s disease at baseline as well as 6 month after treatment

Conclusion

Possibly the expression patterns of TJ proteins

- ZO-1

- pore forming protein claudin-2

- and pore sealing protein claudin-3

regulate the tight junction structure and intestinal

permeability
