Concentration-dependent effects of cytochalasin D on tight junctions and actin filaments in MDCK epithelial cells

BR Stevenson and DA Begg
Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.

The effects of different concentrations of the actin-disrupting drug cytochalasin D on tight junction permeability and distribution of actin filaments in MDCK epithelial cells were examined. Consistent with previous studies, 2 micrograms/ml cytochalasin D caused a significant decrease in transepithelial resistance, indicative of an increase in tight junction permeability. Surprisingly, increasing concentrations of cytochalasin D caused progressively smaller decreases in transepithelial resistance. The effects of cytochalasin D were reversible. Light microscopic analysis utilizing rhodamine-conjugated phalloidin demonstrated two distinct populations of actin filaments in MDCK cells: an apical peripheral ring of actin, presumably associated with the zonula adherens, and larger actin bundles more basally situated. When treated with 2 micrograms/ml cytochalasin D, both actin populations were severely disrupted and cells became flattened. Actin in the apical ring aggregated along cell boundaries, and these aggregates co-localized with similarly disrupted focal accumulations of the tight junction-associated protein ZO-1. The basal actin filament bundles also reorganized into focal aggregates. Increasing concentrations of cytochalasin D caused gradually less perturbation of the apical actin ring, consistent with the transepithelial resistance observations. However, the basal actin bundles were disrupted at all concentrations of cytochalasin D tested, demonstrating that the two actin populations are differentially sensitive to cytochalasin D and that apical actin filaments are more important in the regulation of tight junction permeability. Finally, treatment of cells with cytochalasin D inhibited the decrease in transepithelial resistance induced by the chelation of extracellular Ca2+.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
