Podocalyxin is a major membrane protein of the glomerular
epithelium and is thought to be involved in maintenance of the
architecture of the foot processes and filtration slits characteristic
of this unique epithelium by virtue of its high negative charge.
However, until now there has been no direct evidence for podocalyxin's function. Podocalyxin is a type 1 transmembrane sialoprotein with an
N-terminal mucin-like domain. To assess its function, we cloned rat
podocalyxin and examined the effects of its expression on the cell
adhesion properties of stably transfected Chinese hamster ovary
(CHO)-K1 and Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells and inducible
ecdysone receptor-expressing (EcR)-CHO cells. In a cell aggregation
assay, CHO-K1 cells expressing high levels of podocalyxin showed
complete inhibition of cell aggregation, and MDCK transfectants showed
greatly reduced aggregation (~60-80%) compared with parental cells.
In EcR-CHO cells, the expression level of podocalyxin induced by
increasing levels of ecdysone analogue correlated closely with the
antiadhesion effect. The inhibitory effect of podocalyxin was reversed
by treatment of the cells with Arthrobacter ureafaciens sialidase, indicating that sialic acid is required for inhibition of
cell adhesion. Overexpression of podocalyxin also affected transepithelial resistance and the distribution of junctional proteins
in MDCK cells by an unknown mechanism that may involve interaction with
the actin cytoskeleton. These results provide direct evidence that
podocalyxin functions as an antiadhesin that maintains an open
filtration pathway between neighboring foot processes in the glomerular
epithelium by charge repulsion.
