The barrier functions in epithelial and endothelial cells seem to be very important for maintaining normal biological homeostasis. However, it is unclear whether or how bile acids affect the epithelial barrier. We examined the bile acid-induced disruption of the epithelial barrier. We measured the transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) of Caco-2 cells as a marker of disruption of the epithelial barrier. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was also measured. Cholic, acid (CA) decreased the TEER and increased intracellular ROS generation. PLA2 (phospholipase A2), COX (cyclooxygenase), PKC (protein kinase), ERK1/2 (extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2), PI3K (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase), p38 MAPK (p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase), MLCK (myosin light-chain kinase), NADH dehydrogenase, and XO (xanthine oxidase) inhibitors or ROS scavengers prevented the CA-induced TEER decrease. PLA2, COX, PKC, NADH dehydrogenase, and XO inhibitors prevented the CA-induced ROS generation but not ERK1/2, PI3K, p38 MAPK, and MLCK inhibitors. If the cells were treated with ROS generators such as superoxide dismutase, the TEER decreased. ERK1/2, PI3K, p38 MAPK, and MLCK inhibitors prevent these ROS generators from inducing the TEER decrease. These results suggest that ROS play an important role. In addition, PLA2, COX, PKC, NADH dehydrogenase, and XO are located upstream of the ROS generation, but ERK1/2, PI3K, p38 MAPK, and MLCK are downstream during the signaling of CA-induced TEER alterations.
