Microtubule disassembly breaks down the barrier integrity in a number of epithelial and endothelial monolayers. This study has investigated effects of TNF-α, which is implicated in corneal allograft rejection, on microtubules and barrier integrity in cultured bovine corneal endothelial cells. Exposure to TNF- α led to disassembly of the microtubules, and also caused disruption of the perijunctional actomyosin ring (PAMR). As a measure of barrier integrity, trans-endothelial electrical resistance (TER) was determined based on electrical cell-substrate impedance sensing in realtime. Exposure to TNF- α caused a slow decline in TER for > 20 h, and a similar exposure to cells grown on porous culture inserts led to a significant increase in permeability to FITC dextran. These changes, indicating a loss of barrier integrity, were also reflected by dislocation of ZO-1 at the cell border and disassembly of cadherins. These effects of TNF- α were inhibited upon stabilization of microtubules by pre-treatment with paclitaxel or epothilone B. Microtubule stabilization may be a useful strategy to overcome (TNF-α)-induced loss of the barrier integrity of corneal endothelium during inflammation associated with transplant rejection and uveitis.
