| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Aim of the present study was to investigate the method for modulation of barrier function of tight junction (TJ) in epithelial cells to enhance delivery ofnew biopharmaceuticals. We studied the time course of electrical conductivity (Σ) in MDCK and Caco-2 cells upon treatment with modulators, the C-terminus fragments of clostridium perfringens enterotoxin and sodium caprate (C10). Percolation is the operative mechanism for increase in Σ through TJ modulation. Sec61β overexpression increased TJ modulation rates, in conjunction with enhanced delivery of claudin-4 from and to plasma membranes. Sec61β may be a novel TJ modulation target, including modulation rates for drug delivery system. For gene transfer into cells, the binding ability of adenovirus (Ad) vectors with the receptor (CAR) was found to be important. A novel gene transfer method using transduction with Ad vectors in the presence of C10 led more efficiently to gene expression in Caco-2 cells than Ad vector alone.
