摘要
Tight junctions (TJ) between adjacent epithelial cells play an important role in maintaining mammary function in the differentiated mammary gland. Mouse mammary cell lines (HC11 and Comma-1D) were used to investigate the effect of the lactogenic hormones prolactin (PRL) and glucocorticoids on the formation of mammary TJ. TJ formation was assessed by an increase in transepithelial electrical resistance and a decrease in paracellular flux of radiolabeled inulin. Both PRL and the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) stimulated TJ formation. The biggest effect on TJ formation was observed when both hormones were used in combination, but only when cells were pretreated with DEX. The effects of PRL and DEX are mediated, at least in part, via expression of the transmembrane TJ protein occludin. In summary, these data are the first to show an effect of PRL on mammary TJ formation and the expression of TJ proteins, and confirm the TJ-stimulating effects of glucocorticoids that have been reported previously.
