Enhancement of Tight Junctional Barrier Function by Micronutrients: Compound-Specific Effects on Permeability and Claudin Composition
Amid an increasing number of reports in the literature concerning epithelial barrier enhancement by various nutrient compounds, there has never been a study performing side-by-side comparisons of these agents in a single epithelial model. We compare five nutrient compounds (previously reported in various epithelial models to enhance barrier function) regarding their ability to increase transepi...
متن کاملRole of claudin interactions in airway tight junctional permeability.
Airway epithelial tight junctions (TJs) serve to separate the external and internal environments of the lung. However, the members of the claudin family that mediate this function have not been fully delineated. We characterized the claudin expression in normal airways removed from human donors during lung transplantation and determined the contribution of each claudin to airway barrier functio...
متن کاملEffects of hypoxia-reoxygenation on rat blood-brain barrier permeability and tight junctional protein expression.
Cerebral microvessel endothelial cells that form the blood-brain barrier (BBB) have tight junctions (TJs) that are critical for maintaining brain homeostasis. The effects of initial reoxygenation after a hypoxic insult (H/R) on functional and molecular properties of the BBB and TJs remain unclear. In situ brain perfusion and Western blot analyses were performed to assess in vivo BBB integrity o...
متن کاملRestriction of sulfur-containing amino acids alters claudin composition and improves tight junction barrier function.
Restriction of sulfur-containing amino acids (SCAA) has been shown to elicit a similar increase in life span and decrease in age-related morbidity as caloric restriction. The singular importance of epithelial barrier function in both physiological homeostasis and prevention of inflammation raised the issue of examining the effect of SCAA restriction on epithelial tight junction structure and pe...
متن کاملMenadione increases hepatic tight - junctional permeability
Infusion of menadione at two different doses [2.7 mg and 5.5 mg in 100 ,dl of dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO)] into perfused rat livers for 30 min caused no or a 6-fold increase respectively in junctional permeability to horseradish peroxidase as compared with controls receiving 100 ul of DMSO alone. The total glutathione (GSH) contents in these livers measured at the end of the experiments were 115...
