Increased contractility of the peri-junctional actomyosin ring (PAMR) breaks down the barrier integrity of corneal endothelium. This study has examined the effects of microtubule disassembly on Myosin Light Chain (MLC) phosphorylation, a biochemical marker of actomyosin contraction, and barrier integrity in monolayers of cultured bovine corneal endothelial cells (BCEC). Exposure to nocodazole, which readily induced microtubule disassembly, led to disruption of the characteristically dense assembly of cortical actin cytoskeleton at the apical junctional complex (i.e., PAMR) and dispersion of ZO-1 from its normal locus. Nocodazole also led to an increase in phosphorylation of MLC. Concomitant with these changes, nocodazole caused an increase in permeability to HRP and FITC dextran (10 kDa) and a decrease in trans-endothelial electrical resistance (TER). Y-27632 (a Rho kinase inhibitor) and forskolin (known to inhibit activation of RhoA through direct elevation of cAMP) opposed the nocodazole-induced MLC phosphorylation, decrease in TER, and dispersion of ZO-1. Thrombin, which breaks down the barrier integrity of BCEC monolayers, also induced microtubule disassembly and MLC phosphorylation. Pretreatment with paclitaxel to stabilize microtubules opposed the thrombin effects. These results suggest that microtubule disassembly breaks down the barrier integrity of BCEC through activation of RhoA and subsequent disruption of the PAMR. The thrombin effect also highlights that signaling downstream of GPCRs can also influence the organization of microtubules.
