Cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (50 mmol L−1 Tris, 150 mmol L−1 NaCl, 1 mmol L−1 EDTA, 1% Triton-X, 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate, 1% NP-40, pH 7.4) with phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride to 1:1000 concentration (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL; cat.# 36978) and protease inhibitor set III to 1:100 concentration (Calbiochem, San Diego, CA; cat.# 535140) for 1 h on ice and then centrifuged for 10 min at 14 000 centrifugal force at 4°C. The protein content of the supernatant was quantified using the Pierce 660 nm Protein Assay Reagent (ThermoFisher Scientific). Fifty microgram protein was run on 10% SDS-PAGE, electrotransferred to PVDF and blocked over night in TBST with 5% skim milk. Blots were incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibody and 1 h at room temperature with secondary antibody. Primary antibodies used were mouse anti-claudin-2 (Cat#32–5600, ThermoFisher Scientific), rabbit anti-claudin-4 (Cat#PA1-37471, ThermoFisher Scientific), rabbit anti-claudin-7 (Cat#34–9100, Invitrogen), rabbit anti-claudin-10 (sc-25710, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies), and mouse anti-β-actin (BA3R, Invitrogen). HRP conjugated secondary antibodies employed included anti-rabbit (#7074, Cell Signaling, MA) and anti-mouse (#7076, Cell Signaling, MA).

Animal tissue samples were embedded in paraffin and sectioned in 1µm slices. Immunostaining was performed after removal of paraffin as described for CaCo2 cells.
Cultured cell monolayers were prepared for immunostaining as described previously (27 (link)). In brief, CaCo2 cells were grown to confluence on coverslips. After incubation with or without different mediators, cells were fixated with 2% formaldehyde for 10 minutes and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton-X100 for 15 minutes afterwards, at room temperature. The coverslips were incubated at 4°C overnight using following primary antibodies at 1:100 in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS): rabbit anti-Desmoglein2 (MyBiosource, Kampenhout, Belgium); mouse anti-Claudin2 (ThermoFisher, Schwerte, Germany); mouse anti-PI-3-kinase (Santa Cruz, Heidelberg, Germany). As secondary antibodies, we used Cy3- or 488- labeled goat anti-mouse, goat anti-rabbit (all diluted 1:600, Dianova, Hamburg, Germany). Coverslips were mounted on glass slides with Vector Shield Mounting Medium as anti-fading compound, which included DAPI to visualize cell nuclei additionally (Vector Laboratories, Burlingham, CA). Representative experiments were documented with a confocal microscope (Leica LSM 780) (Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany).

Immunofluorescent Localization of Tight Junction Proteins

Immunofluorescent labeling of cells was performed by rinsing cells with cold phosphate buffered saline (PBS) pH 7.4 (PAN® Biotech GmbH), followed by fixing for 10 min in cold methanol at -20 °C, washing with PBS, and incubating with the primary antibody (1 h, room temperature). This was followed by an additional washing step with PBS, incubation with the secondary antibody (30 min, 37 °C), washing, and mounting using Vectashield® with DAPI (Vector Laboratories, Servion, Switzerland). The following primary antibodies were used: rabbit anti-ZO-1 (Cell signaling, Leiden, Netherlands), mouse anti-occludin (33–1500, InvitrogenAG, Basel, Switzerland), rabbit anti-claudin-1 (71–7800, Invitrogen), mouse anti-claudin-2 (32–5600, Invitrogen), rabbit anti-cingulin.38 (link) Secondary donkey anti-rabbit or anti-mouse antibodies labeled with Cy3 (Jackson Laboratories, ME, USA) were used at a dilution of 1:300. Images were taken using a confocal laser scanning microscope (Zeiss 510 Meta, Zeiss, CA, USA).

Gut Tight Junction Protein Analysis

Protein extracts were prepared from jejunal, ileal and colon as previously described (20 (link)). Proteins were quantified with a standard protein assay (DC Protein Assay; Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Equal amounts of proteins were loaded and run on NuPAGE® Novex® Bis-Tris mini gels (Invitrogen™, Carlsbad, CA). After proteins were transferred to PVDF membranes (G-Biosciences®, St. Louis, MO), membranes were blocked for 60 min at room temperature and incubated overnight at 4°C in buffer (Tris-buffered saline with 0.1% Tween® 20 and 1% milk powder) with mouse anti-claudin-2, mouse anti-occludin, rabbit anti-ZO-1 (all purchased from Invitrogen), rabbit anti-junctional adhesion molecule 1 (Abcam®, Cambridge, MA), mouse anti-E-cadherin or rabbit anti-caspase 3 (Cell Signaling Technology®, Danvers, MA). Protein loading was determined with mouse anti-GAPDH (Sigma-Aldrich). Primary antibodies were detected with HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse or goat anti-rabbit (Santa Cruz Biotechnology® Inc., Dallas, TX). Immunoreactive bands were visualized with chemiluminescent substrate (Thermo Scientific) on CL exposure films (Thermo Scientific). Films were scanned with AlphaImager® gel documentation system (ProteinSimple®, San Jose, CA) and bands were quantified with ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD). Data are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
