Many intracellular parasites are capable of penetrating host epithelial barriers. To study this process in more detail we examined the interactions between the pathogenic bacteria Salmonella choleraesuis and polarized epithelial monolayers of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells grown on membrane filters. Association of bacteria with the MDCK cell apical surface was an active event, requiring bacterial RNA and protein synthesis, and was blocked by low temperatures. Salmonella were internalized within a membrane-bound vacuole and exhibited penetration through, but not between MDCK cells. A maximum of 14 Salmonella per MDCK cell crossed the monolayer per hour to the basolateral surface yet the monolayer remained viable and impermeable to Escherichia coli. Apical S. choleraesuis infection resulted in an increase in paracellular permeability but the MDCK intercellular contacts were not significantly disrupted. Basolateral S. choleraesuis infection was inefficient, and only small numbers of S. choleraesuis penetrated to the apical medium.

The MAL (MAL/VIP17) proteolipid is a nonglycosylated integral membrane protein expressed in a restricted pattern of cell types, including T lymphocytes, myelin-forming cells, and polarized epithelial cells. Transport of the influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) to the apical surface of epithelial Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells appears to be mediated by a pathway involving glycolipid- and cholesterol- enriched membranes (GEMs). In MDCK cells, MAL has been proposed previously as being an element of the protein machinery for the GEM-dependent apical transport pathway. Using an antisense oligonucleotide-based strategy and a newly generated monoclonal antibody to canine MAL, herein we have approached the effect of MAL depletion on HA transport in MDCK cells. We have found that MAL depletion diminishes the presence of HA in GEMs, reduces the rate of HA transport to the cell surface, inhibits the delivery of HA to the apical surface, and produces partial missorting of HA to the basolateral membrane. These effects were corrected by ectopic expression of MAL in MDCK cells whose endogenous MAL protein was depleted. Our results indicate that MAL is necessary for both normal apical transport and accurate sorting of HA.

To study the intracellular transport of newly synthesized sphingolipids in epithelial cells we have used a fluorescent ceramide analog, N-6[7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl] aminocaproyl sphingosine (C6-NBD-ceramide; Lipsky, N. G., and R. E. Pagano, 1983, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 80:2608-2612) as a probe. This ceramide was readily taken up by filter-grown Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells from liposomes at 0 degrees C. After penetration into the cell, the fluorescent probe accumulated in the Golgi area at temperatures between 0 and 20 degrees C. Chemical analysis showed that C6-NBD-ceramide was being converted into C6-NBD-sphingomyelin and C6-NBD-glucosyl-ceramide. An analysis of the fluorescence pattern after 1 h at 20 degrees C by means of a confocal scanning laser fluorescence microscope revealed that the fluorescent marker most likely concentrated in the Golgi complex itself. Little fluorescence was observed at the plasma membrane. Raising the temperature to 37 degrees C for 1 h resulted in intense plasma membrane staining and a loss of fluorescence from the Golgi complex. Addition of BSA to the apical medium cleared the fluorescence from the apical but not from the basolateral plasma membrane domain. The basolateral fluorescence could be depleted only by adding BSA to the basal side of a monolayer of MDCK cells grown on polycarbonate filters. We conclude that the fluorescent sphingomyelin and glucosylceramide were delivered from the Golgi complex to the plasma membrane where they accumulated in the external leaflet of the membrane bilayer. The results also demonstrated that the fatty acyl labeled lipids were unable to pass the tight junctions in either direction. Quantitation of the amount of NBD-lipids delivered to the apical and the basolateral plasma membranes during incubation for 1 h at 37 degrees C showed that the C6-NBD-glucosylceramide was two- to fourfold enriched on the apical as compared to the basolateral side, while C6-NBD-sphingomyelin was about equally distributed. Since the surface area of the apical plasma membrane is much smaller than that of the basolateral membrane, both lipids achieved a higher concentration on the apical surface. Altogether, our results suggest that the NBD-lipids are sorted in MDCK cells in a way similar to their natural counterparts.

The synchronized directed transfer of the envelope glycoproteins of the influenza and vesicular stomatitis viruses from the Golgi apparatus to the apical and basolateral surfaces, respectively, of polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells can be achieved using temperature-sensitive mutant viruses and appropriate temperature shift protocols (Rindler, M. J., I. E. Ivanov, H. Plesken, and D. D. Sabatini, 1985, J. Cell Biol., 100:136-151). The microtubule-depolymerizing agents colchicine and nocodazole, as well as the microtubule assembly-promoting drug taxol, were found to interfere with the normal polarized delivery and exclusive segregation of hemagglutinin (HA) to the apical surface but not with the delivery and initial accumulation of G on the basolateral surface. Immunofluorescence analysis of permeabilized monolayers of influenza-infected MDCK cells treated with the microtubule-acting drugs demonstrated the presence of substantial amounts of HA protein on both the apical and basolateral surfaces. Moreover, in cells infected with the wild-type influenza virus, particles budded from both surfaces. Viral counts in electron micrographs showed that approximately 40% of the released viral particles accumulated in the intercellular spaces or were trapped between the cell and monolayer and the collagen support as compared to less than 1% on the basolateral surface of untreated infected cells. The effect of the microtubule inhibitors was not a result of a rapid redistribution of glycoprotein molecules initially delivered to the apical surface since a redistribution was not observed when the inhibitors were added to the cells after the HA was permitted to reach the apical surface at the permissive temperature and the synthesis of new HA was inhibited with cycloheximide. The altered segregation of the HA protein that occurs may result from the dispersal of the Golgi apparatus induced by the inhibitors or from the disruption of putative microtubules containing tracks that could direct vesicles from the trans Golgi apparatus to the cell surface. Since the vesicular stomatitis virus G protein is basolaterally segregated even when the Golgi elements are dispersed and hypothetical tracks disrupted, it appears that the two viral envelope glycoproteins are segregated by fundamentally different mechanisms and that the apical surface may be incapable of accepting vesicles carrying the G protein.

We used domain-selective biotinylation/125I-streptavidin blotting (Sargiacomo, M., M. P. Lisanti, L. Graeve, A. Le Bivic, and E. Rodriguez-Boulan. 1989 J. Membr. Biol. 107:277-286), in combination with lectin precipitation, to analyze the apical and basolateral glycoprotein composition of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells and to explore the role of glycosylation in the targeting of membrane glycoproteins. All six lectins used recognized both apical and basolateral glycoproteins, indicating that none of the sugar moieties detected were characteristic of the particular epithelial cell surface. Pulse-chase experiments coupled with domain-selective glycoprotein recovery were designed to detect the initial appearance of newly synthesized glycoproteins at the apical or basolateral cell surface. After a short pulse with a radioactive precursor, glycoproteins reaching each surface were biotinylated, extracted, and recovered via precipitation with immobilized streptavidin. Several basolateral glycoproteins (including two sulfated proteins) and at least two apical glycoproteins (one of them the major sulfated protein of MDCK cells) appeared at the corresponding surface after 20-40 min of chase, but were not detected in the opposite surface, suggesting that they were sorted intracellularly and vectorially delivered to their target membrane. Several "peripheral" apical proteins were detected at maximal levels on the apical surface immediately after the 15-min pulse, suggesting a very fast intracellular transit. Finally, domain-selective labeling of surface carbohydrates with biotin hydrazide (after periodate oxidation) revealed strikingly different integral and peripheral glycoprotein patterns, resembling the Con A pattern, after labeling with sulfo-N-hydroxy-succinimido-biotin. The approaches described here should be useful in characterizing the steady-state distribution and biogenesis of endogenous cell surface components in a variety of epithelial cell lines.

The amount of glycerophosphocholine (GPC) in renal medullary cells in vivo and in cultured renal [Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK)] cells varies with extracellular NaCl and urea. We previously showed that this is largely due to modulation of GPC degradation catalyzed by GPC:choline phosphodiesterase (GPC: PDE). GPC also varies inversely with the levels of other compatible osmolytes, the accumulation of which is induced by high tonicity. We tested whether GPC:PDE activity and GPC degradation are affected by accumulation of compatible osmolytes other than GPC. We find that MDCK cell GPC content decreases when the cells take up betaine and/or inositol from the medium. The effect is considerably greater for cells in isosmotic or high-NaCl medium than in high-urea medium. This difference is associated with suppression of betaine and inositol accumulation with high urea. We then measured GPC:PDE activity with a novel chemiluminescent assay. Addition of inositol and/or betaine to the medium greatly increases GPC:PDE activity in cells in isosmotic or high-NaCl media, but the increase is much less in high-urea medium. The increases in GPC:PDE activity, associated with the presence of betaine, are accompanied by commensurate increases in absolute rates of endogenous GPC degradation by cells in isosmotic or high-NaCl medium. We found previously that, in MDCK cells incubated for 2 days in high-NaCl medium, the rate of GPC synthesis from phosphatidylcholine is increased, correlated with an increase in phospholipase activity. However, in the present experiments, betaine accumulation has no effect on phospholipase activity under those conditions and, thus, presumably does not affect GPC synthesis. Collectively, these data support the conclusion that betaine and/or inositol reduces GPC by increasing GPC degradation catalyzed by GPC:PDE. This mechanism enables GPC to be reciprocally regulated relative to other compatible osmolytes, thus maintaining an appropriate total osmolyte content.

The MAL proteolipid, a component of the integral protein sorting machinery, has been demonstrated as being necessary for normal apical transport of the influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) and the overall apical membrane proteins in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. The MAL carboxy terminus ends with the sequence Arg-Trp-Lys-Ser-Ser (RWKSS), which resembles dilysine-based motifs involved in protein sorting. To investigate whether the RWKSS pentapeptide plays a role in modulating the distribution of MAL and/or its function in apical transport, we have expressed MAL proteins with distinct carboxy terminus in MDCK cells whose apical transport was impaired by depletion of endogenous MAL. Apical transport of HA was restored to normal levels by expression of MAL with an intact but not with modified carboxyl terminal sequences bearing mutations that impair the functioning of dilysine-based sorting signals, although all the MAL proteins analyzed incorporated efficiently into lipid rafts. Ultrastructural analysis indicated that compared with MAL bearing an intact RWKSS sequence, a mutant with lysine −3 substituted by serine showed a twofold increased presence in clathrin-coated cytoplasmic structures and a reduced expression on the plasma membrane. These results indicate that the carboxyl-terminal RWKSS sequence modulates the distribution of MAL in clathrin-coated elements and is necessary for HA transport to the apical surface.

The MAL proteolipid has been recently demonstrated as being necessary for correct apical sorting of the transmembrane influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) in Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. The fact that, in contrast to MDCK cells, Fischer rat thyroid (FRT) cells target the majority of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins to the basolateral membrane provides us with the opportunity to determine the role of MAL in apical transport of membrane proteins under conditions in which the majority of GPI-anchored proteins are (MDCK cells) or are not (FRT cells) targeted to the apical surface. Using an antisense oligonucleotide-based strategy to deplete endogenous MAL, we have observed that correct transport of apical transmembrane proteins associated (HA) or not (exogenous neurotrophin receptor and endogenous dipeptidyl peptidase IV) with lipid rafts, as well as that of the bulk of endogenous apical membrane, takes place in FRT cells by a pathway that requires normal MAL levels. Even transport of placental alkaline phosphatase, a GPI-anchored protein that is targeted apically in FRT cells, was dependent on normal MAL levels. Similarly, in addition to the reported effect of MAL on HA transport, depletion of MAL in MDCK cells caused a dramatic reduction in the apical delivery of the GPI-anchored gD1-DAF protein, neurotrophin receptor, and the bulk of membrane proteins. These results suggest that MAL is necessary for the overall apical transport of membrane proteins in polarized MDCK and FRT cells.

ZO-1, originally identified by mAb techniques, is the first protein shown to be specifically associated with the tight junction. Here we describe and compare the physical characteristics of ZO-1 from mouse liver and the Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cell line. The ZO-1 polypeptide has an apparent size of 225 kD in mouse tissues and 210 kD in canine-derived MDCK cells as determined by SDS-PAGE/immunoblot analysis. ZO-1 from both sources is optimally solubilized from isolated plasma membranes by either 6 M urea or high pH conditions; partial solubilization occurs with 0.3 M KCl. The nonionic detergents, Triton X-100 and octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, do not solubilize ZO-1. These solubility properties indicate that ZO-1 is a peripherally associated membrane protein. ZO-1 was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from [35S]methionine metabolically labeled MDCK cells by a combination of gel filtration and immunoaffinity chromatography. Purified ZO-1 has an s20,w of 5.3 and Stokes radius of 8.6 nm. These values suggest that purified ZO-1 is an asymmetric monomeric molecule. Corresponding values for mouse liver ZO-1, characterized in impure protein extracts, were 6 s20,w and 9 nm. ZO-1 was shown to be a phosphoprotein in MDCK cells metabolically labeled with [32P]orthophosphate; analysis of phosphoamino acids from purified ZO-1 revealed only phosphoserine. ZO-1 epitope number was determined by Scatchard analysis of competitive and saturable binding of two different 125I-mAbs to SDS-solubilized proteins from liver and MDCK cells immobilized on nitrocellulose. Saturation binding occurs at 26 ng mAb/mg liver and 63 ng/mg of MDCK cell protein. This is equivalent to 30,000 ZO-1 molecules per MDCK cell assuming a single epitope/ZO-1 molecule.

Kidney-derived Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells form lumina at their apices, and target luminal proteins to an intracellular vacuolar apical compartment (VAC) when prevented from polarizing. Hepatocytes, by contrast, organize their luminal surfaces (the bile canaliculi; BC) between their lateral membranes, and, when nonpolarized, they display an intracellular luminal compartment that is distinct from the VACs of MDCK cells. Overexpression of the serine/threonine kinase Par1b/EMK1/MARK2 induces BC-like lateral lumina and a hepatic-type intracellular luminal compartment in MDCK cells, suggesting a role for Par1b in the branching decision between kidney- and hepatic-type epithelial phenotypes. Here, we report that Par1b promotes lateral lumen polarity in MDCK cells independently of Ca2+-mediated cell–cell adhesion by inhibiting myosin II in a rho kinase-dependent manner. Polarization was inhibited by E-cadherin depletion but promoted by an adhesion-defective E-cadherin mutant. By contrast, apical surface formation in control MDCK cells required Ca2+-dependent cell–cell adhesion, but it occurred in the absence of E-cadherin. We propose that E-cadherin, when in an adhesion-incompetent state at the lateral domain, serves as targeting patch for the establishment of lateral luminal surfaces. E-cadherin depletion also reverted the hepatic-type intracellular luminal compartment in Par1b-MDCK cells to VACs characteristic of control MDCK cells, indicating a novel link between E-cadherin and luminal protein targeting.

Epithelial cells are known to play an important role in sustaining the airway barrier that may be impaired in certain inflammatory conditions. Recently, the use of thrombin has been reported to open the airway of patients with asthma as well as enhance the permeability of endothelial cell monolayers. We designed an in vitro model of Madin Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells and the physiological functions of this model were evaluated by measuring the transepithelial resistance (TER). The epithelial cytoskeletal organization was observed by staining with Bisbenzimide and Rodamine-Phalloidin (BBZ-Phalloidin) and confirmed by fluorescence microscopy. Measurements of the TER generated values up to 2020 Ω/cm2. A dose response of thrombin was observed, showing the permeability changes in the MDCK monolayer and subsequent recovery. A relationship between TER values and cytoskeletal organization was also observed and discussed.
