摘要

Although ischemia is associated with disruption of cadherinβ-mediated adhesion in renal cell lines, the impact of decreased cadherin function on the transcriptional activity of β-catenin remains poorly defined. In these studies, we used a simulated ischemia model in normal rat kidney (NRK) cells to disrupt cadherin function. Cell viability; cadherin/catenin expression, function, and localization; and β-catenin-mediated transcriptional activity were assessed during ischemia/reperfusion. Following 6 hr of ischemia, a decrease in the expression of E- and N-cadherin was seen that correlated with altered cell morphology indicative of decreased intercellular adhesion. While ischemia was associated with activation of glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3), this did not correlate with increased phosphorylation of β-catenin as assessed by Western blots using phosphoryl-specific antibodies. β-Catenin was not localized to the nucleus by immunofluorescence in ischemic NRK cells, but rather a strong perinuclear signal was seen in reperfused cells. This was consistent with the finding that neither ischemia nor reperfusion activated the transcriptional activity of β-catenin as assessed by the TCF-optimal promoter (TOPFlash) construct. However, NRK cells possess a competent Wnt pathway, as challenge with lithium chloride elicited a ten-fold increase in luciferase activity. These results suggest that ischemia-induced disruption of cadherin/catenin complexes is not sufficient to stimulate β-catenin transcriptional activity in NRK cells.
