Major Areas of Interest:

Necrotizing Enterocolitis: The central hypothesis is that immaturity of the neonatal gut

barrier, coupled with mucosal damage caused by hypoxia, formula feeding, GI tract

colonization with opportunistic pathogens, and other perinatal insults, predispose the

premature infant to bacterial translocation. Bacterial interactions with immunocytes in

the lamina propria result in local release of inflammatory mediators, most notably IL-1,

which leads to sustained upregulation of inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS or

NOS-2), overproduction of NO and formation of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) in the intestinal

epithelium. High levels of ONOO- lead to further tissue injury (increased enterocyte

apoptosis) and inhibition of tissue repair mechanisms (decreased enterocyte proliferation

and enterocyte migration). The resulting imbalance between tissue injury and repair

mechanisms leads to a vicious cycle of injury and uncontrolled inflammatory response

with release of other mediators. The net effect is progressive tissue destruction, intestinal

perforation and systemic sepsis, as seen in advanced NEC. We are testing our hypothesis

using in vitro approach in cultured enterocytes, ex vivo experiments in temporary

culture of intestinal epithelium, and in vivo studies in knockout and transgenic mice.

Gut Barrier Failure During Inflammation: Derangement in the intestinal mucosal barrier

may play an important role in the pathogenesis of systemic infection in critically ill

patients. One of the consequences of systemic inflammation is increased tissue

expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), the key enzyme in the biosynthesis of

inflammatory prostanoids, leading to local production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2).

Based on our in vitro studies with tight monolayers of intestinal epithelial cells, we

hypothesize that PGE2 causes profound and long-lasting derangement of the epithelial

barrier by acting via the PGE2 receptor EP1, phospholipase C, Ca2+ mobilization from

intracellular stores, activation of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK), phosphorylation of

myosin light chain, and alteration of tight junctions. Various aspects of this hypothesis

are being tested using model enterocyte monolayers, ex vivo permeability tests in

Ussing chamber, and in vivo permeability experiments in genetically altered mice. For

the latter approach, we have developed a transgenic model that allows tetracycline-

regulated intestine-specific expression of COX-2. In this model, local expression of

COX-2 and local production of PGE2 can be achieved in the absence of systemic

inflammation. A translational component of this project is testing the efficacy of COX-

2- and EP1-targeting therapies in experimental peritonitis.
