Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) increases
epithelial permeability in many model systems. Protein kinase C (PKC)
isozymes regulate epithelial barrier function and alter ligand-receptor
interactions. We sought to define the impact of PKC on TNF-induced
barrier dysfunction in T84 intestinal epithelia. TNF induced a dose-
and time-dependent fall in transepithelial electrical resistance (TER)
and an increase in [3H]mannitol flux. The TNF-induced
fall in TER was not PKC mediated but was prevented by pretreatment with
bryostatin-1, a PKC agonist. As demonstrated by a pattern of
sensitivity to pharmacological inhibitors of PKC, this epithelial
barrier preservation was mediated by novel PKC isozymes. Bryostatin-1
reduced TNF receptor (TNF-R1) surface availability, as demonstrated by
radiolabeled TNF binding and cell surface biotinylation assays, and
increased TNF-R1 receptor shedding. The pattern of sensitivity to
isozyme-selective PKC inhibitors suggested that these effects were
mediated by activation of PKC-
. In addition, after bryostatin-1
treatment, PKC-
and TNF-R1 became associated, as determined by
mutual coimmunoprecipitation assay, which has been shown to lead to
receptor desensitization in neutrophils. TNF-induced barrier
dysfunction occurs independently of PKC, but selective modulation of
novel PKC isozymes may regulate TNF-R1 signaling.
