A hallmark of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is pulmonary vascular
permeability. In these settings, loss of barrier integrity is mediated by
cell-contact disassembly and actin remodeling. Studies into molecular mechanisms
responsible for improving microvascular barrier function are therefore vital in
the development of therapeutic targets for reducing vascular permeability in
ARDS. The sweet taste receptor T1R3 is a G protein-coupled receptor, activated
following exposure to sweet molecules, to trigger a gustducin-dependent signal
cascade. In recent years, extraoral locations for T1R3 have been identified;
however, no studies have focused on T1R3 within the vasculature. We hypothesize
that activation of T1R3, in the pulmonary vasculature, plays a role in regulating
endothelial barrier function in settings of ARDS. Our study demonstrated
expression of T1R3 within the pulmonary vasculature, with a drop in expression
levels following exposure to barrier-disruptive agents. Exposure of lung
microvascular endothelial cells to the intensely sweet molecule sucralose
attenuated LPS- and thrombin-induced endothelial barrier dysfunction. Likewise,
sucralose exposure attenuated bacteria-induced lung edema formation in vivo.
Inhibition of sweet taste signaling, through zinc sulfate, T1R3, or G-protein
siRNA, blunted the protective effects of sucralose on the endothelium. Sucralose
significantly reduced LPS-induced increased expression or phosphorylation of the
key signaling molecules Src, p21-activated kinase (PAK), myosin light chain-2
(MLC2), heat shock protein 27 (HSP27), and p110? phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase
(p110?PI3K). Activation of T1R3 by sucralose protects the pulmonary endothelium
from edemagenic agent-induced barrier disruption, potentially through abrogation
of Src/PAK/p110?PI3K-mediated cell-contact disassembly and
Src/MLC2/HSP27-mediated actin remodeling. Identification of sweet taste sensing
in the pulmonary vasculature may represent a novel therapeutic target to protect
the endothelium in settings of ARDS.
