Normal enteric bacteria frequently cause complicating infections in immunosuppressed and postsurgical patients, as well as patients with shock and trauma. Many nosocomial infections have an undefined focus and appear to be caused by translocating normal enteric bacteria that somehow penetrate the intestinal epithelium and enter otherwise sterile extraintestinal tissues [1, 2, 3]. Associated mortality is often high (20–40%) despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy [2, 4]. Thus, clarification of the mechanisms by which normal enteric flora penetrate the intestinal epithelium is important because antibiotic therapy is often ineffective and because new knowledge may suggest novel prophylactic and therapeutic agents to decrease the costly morbidity associated with translocating enteric flora. A variety of clinical conditions are associated with increased passage of normal enteric bacteria across the intestinal epithelial barrier. These conditions include enteric microbial overgrowth, gut atrophy, liquid diet, gut stasis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, immunosuppression, surgery, burn wounds, shock, trauma, and increased circulating endotoxin. These diverse conditions are associated with increased intestinal epithelial permeability, facilitating exposure of basolateral enterocyte surfaces, normally joined by tight junctions that prevent the paracellular passage of microbes and unwanted macromolecules (reviewed in [1]). Based on evidence that internalization of a number of bacteria is favored at the basolateral (as opposed to apical) surface of polarized epithelial cells [5, 6], we recently tested the hypothesis that syndecan-1, a heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycan (PG) prominently expressed on the basolateral epithelial surface [7, 8], may be involved in interactions of normal enteric bacteria with host enterocytes [9].The syndecans are a family of four (syndecan-1,-2,-3,-4) widely expressed transmembrane PGs. Each syndecan core protein has a transmembrane portion, a relatively short intracytoplasmic region, and an extracellular domain decorated with three to five glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains [10, 11]. Ectodomains of syndecan-1 (Fig. 1),-3, and-4 may bear both HS and chondroitin sulfate (CS) GAG chains, while syndecan-2 appears to express only HS [10, 12]. Syndecan-1 is mainly/predominantly expressed on epithelia and may be found in the mesenchyme during development. Syndecan-2 is prominent in mesenchymal tissues, and on liver and neuronal cells. Syndecan-3 is associated with neural tissues and syndecan-4 is widely distributed in many cell types [10, 13]. Syndecans can bind growth factors, chemokines, cytokines, extracellular matrix constituents, components of the coagulation cascade, and various microbes [14, 15], and a number of elegant reviews describe aspects of syndecan structure and function [10, 11, 14, 16].
