The effects of physiologically relevant increase in temperature (37-41 degrees C) on intestinal epithelial tight junction (TJ) barrier have not been previously studied. Additionally, the role of heat-shock proteins (HSPs) in the regulation of intestinal TJ barrier during heat stress remains unknown. Because heat-induced disturbance of intestinal TJ barrier could lead to endotoxemia and bacterial translocation during physiological thermal stress, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of modest, physiologically relevant increases in temperature (37-41 degrees C) on intestinal epithelial TJ barrier and to examine the protective role of HSPs on intestinal TJ barrier. Filter-grown Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells were used as an in vitro intestinal epithelial model system to assess the effects of heat exposure on intestinal TJ barrier. Exposure of filter-grown Caco-2 monolayers to modest increases in temperatures (37-41 degrees C) resulted in a significant time- and temperature-dependent increases in Caco-2 TJ permeability. Exposure to modest heat (39 or 41 degrees C) resulted in rapid and sustained increases in HSP expression; and inhibition of HSP expression produced a marked increase in heat-induced increase in Caco-2 TJ permeability (P < 0.001). Heat exposure (41 degrees C) resulted in a compensatory increase in Caco-2 occludin protein expression and an increase in junctional localization. Inhibition of HSP expression prevented the compensatory upregulation of occludin protein expression and produced a marked disruption in junctional localization of occludin protein during heat stress. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate for the first time that a modest, physiologically relevant increase in temperature causes an increase in intestinal epithelial TJ permeability. Our data also show that HSPs play an important protective role in preventing the heat-induced disruption of intestinal TJ barrier and suggest that HSP mediated upregulation of occludin expression may be an important mechanism involved in the maintenance of intestinal epithelial TJ barrier function during heat stress.
