| Abstract | The epithelial cell tight junction separates apical and basolateral domains and is essential for barrier function. Disruption of the tight junction is a hallmark of epithelial cell damage and can lead to end organ damage including renal failure. Herein, we identify Gα12 activation by H2O2 leading to tight junction disruption and demonstrate a critical role for Gα12 activation during bilateral renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells with inducible Gα12 (Gα12-MDCK) and silenced Gα12 (shGα12-MDCK) were subjected to ATP depletion/repletion and H2O2/catalase as models of tight junction disruption and recovery by monitoring transepithelial resistance. In ATP depleted cells, barrier disruption and recovery was not affected by Gα12, but reassembly was accelerated by Gα12 depletion. In contrast, silencing of Gα12 completely protected cells from H2O2-stimulated barrier disruption, a response that rapidly occurred in control cells. H2O2 activated Src and Rho, and Src inhibition (by PP2), but not Rho (by Y27632), protected cells from H2O2-mediated barrier disruption. Immunofluorescent and biochemical analysis showed that H2O2 led to increased tyrosine phosphorylation of numerous proteins and altered membrane localization of tight junction proteins through Gα12/Src signaling pathway. Gα12 and Src were activated in vivo during ischemia/reperfusion injury, and transgenic mice with renal tubular QLα12 (activated mutant) expression were delayed in recovery and showed more extensive injury. Conversely, Gα12 knockout mice were nearly completely protected from ischemia/reperfusion injury. Taken together, these studies reveal that ROS stimulates Gα12 to activate injury pathways and identifies a therapeutic target for ameliorating ROS mediated injury. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
