Role of MLC phosphorylation in intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction induced by severe burn injury
Objective To determine the role of myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation in intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction induced by severe burn injury. Methods Forty-eight healthy adult Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group

12 and 24 h postburn groups. The intestinal permeability of all rats was measured by fluorescein-isothiocyanate-dextran (FITC-D). The changes of tight junction associated protein ZO-1
F-actin and phosphorylated MLC (PMLC) in intestinal epithelia of the rats were analyzed by immunofluorescence. Results The intestinal permeability of the rats increased significantly after burn injury
and peaked at 6 h 3 times higher than the control rats. The increased intestinal permeability was accompanied by the striking reorganization of the tight junction associated protein ZO-1
the damage of the tight junction and the significant increase of PMLC in rats with burned intestinal epithelia. Conclusion MLC phosphorylation might play a very important role in the regulation of intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction after severe burn injury.
