Different effects of protein kinase inhibitors on the localization of junctional proteins at cell-cell contact sites

N Denisenko, P Burighel and S Citi
Dipartimento di Biologia, Universita' di Padova, Italy.

The protein kinase inhibitor H-7 prevents the assembly of tight junctions in cultured Madin Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells (Balda et al. (1991) J. Membr. Biol. 122, 193-202; Nigam et al. (1991) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 181, 548-553); however, its mechanism of action is unknown. To understand the basis of the activity of H-7 and other inhibitors we compared the effect of H-7 on the localization of proteins belonging to tight junctions and adherens-type junctions (zonula adhaerens and desmosome), and on the organization of actin microfilaments. Junction assembly was induced in MDCK cells either by the 'Ca2+ switch' procedure or by incubating trypsinized cells at normal extracellular Ca2+, and the cells were then immunofluorescently labeled with antibodies against cingulin, ZO-1, E-cadherin and desmoplakin, and with FITC-phalloidin. Here we show by measuring the transepithelial resistance that, in addition to H-7, H-8 and staurosporine can also significantly block the assembly of tight junctions, whereas HA1004 is poorly active. H-7 inhibited the accumulation of cingulin and ZO-1 in junctional areas most effectively when added during assembly at normal extracellular Ca2+. On the other hand, H-7 did not have major effects on the accumulation of E-cadherin and desmoplakin in the regions of cell-cell contact using either assembly protocol. Electron microscopy confirmed that H-7 does not abolish the formation of adherens-type junctions, suggesting that phosphorylation plays a different role in the assembly of tight junctions versus adherens-type junctions. Finally, in both protocols of junction assembly H-7 caused a major disorganization of actin microfilaments, suggesting that H-7 may prevent TJ assembly through its effect on the cytoskeleton.
