Rotaviruses infect epithelial cells of the
small intestine, but the pathophysiology of the resulting severe
diarrhea is incompletely understood. Histological damage to intestinal
epithelium is not a consistent feature, and in vitro studies showed
that intestinal cells did not undergo rapid death and lysis during
viral replication. We show that rotavirus infection of Caco-2 cells
caused disruption of tight junctions and loss of transepithelial
resistance (TER) in the absence of cell death. TER declined from 300 to
22
· cm2 between 8 and 24 h after
infection and was accompanied by increased transepithelial permeability
to macromolecules of 478 and 4,000 Da. Distribution of tight junction
proteins claudin-1, occludin, and ZO-1 was significantly altered during
infection. Claudin-1 redistribution was notably apparent at the onset
of the decline in TER. Infection was associated with increased
production of lactate, decreased mitochondrial oxygen consumption, and
reduced cellular ATP (60% of control at 24 h after infection),
conditions known to reduce the integrity of epithelial tight junctions.
In conclusion, these data show that rotavirus infection of Caco-2 intestinal cells altered tight junction structure and function, which
may be a response to metabolic dysfunction.
