The impact of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) on public health has been increasingly studied, with Shp2 identified as playing a crucial role in PM2.5-induced epithelial barrier dysfunction through the ERK1/2 MAPK signaling pathway.
The impact of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) on public health has received increasing attention. Through various biochemical mechanisms, PM2.5 alters the normal structure and function of the airway epithelium, causing epithelial barrier dysfunction. Src homology domain 2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (Shp2) has been implicated in various respiratory diseases; however, its role in PM2.5induced epithelial barrier dysfunction remains unclear. Herein, we assessed the regulatory effects of Shp2 on PM2.5-mediated epithelial barrier function and tight junction (TJ) protein expression in both mice and human pulmonary epithelial (16HBE) cells. We observed that Shp2 levels were upregulated and claudin-4 levels were downregulated after PM2.5 stimulation in vivo and in vitro. Mice were exposed to PM2.5 to induce acute lung injury, and disrupted epithelial barrier function, with decreased transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) and increased paracellular flux that was observed in 16HBE cells. In contrast, the selective inhibition or knockdown of Shp2 retained airway epithelial barrier function and reversed claudin-4 downregulation that triggered by PM2.5, and these effects may occur through the ERK1/2 MAPK signaling pathway. These data highlight an important role of Shp2 in PM2.5induced airway epithelial barrier dysfunction and suggest a possible new course of therapy for PM2.5induced respiratory diseases.
