متن کاملSelective up-regulation of claudin-1 and claudin-2 in colorectal cancer.
BACKGROUND To understand the molecular and morphological alterations in the tight junction in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues, the expression of eight tight junction proteins in normal and cancer colorectal tissues were compared. PATIENTS AND METHODS Adenocarcinoma tissues and paired normal mucosa were resected from surgical specimens of CRC patients. The expression of occludin, ZO-1, ZO-2, a...
متن کاملRegulation of claudin/zonula occludens-1 complexes by hetero-claudin interactions
Claudins are tetraspan transmembrane tight-junction proteins that regulate epithelial barriers. In the distal airspaces of the lung, alveolar epithelial tight junctions are crucial to regulate airspace fluid. Chronic alcohol abuse weakens alveolar tight junctions, priming the lung for acute respiratory distress syndrome, a frequently lethal condition caused by airspace flooding. Here we demonst...
متن کاملRegulation of the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition by Claudin-3 and Claudin-4
The mechanisms that control intracellular adhesion are central to the process of invasion and metastasis. Claudin-3 (CLDN3) and claudin-4 (CLDN4) are major structural molecules of the tight junctions that link epithelial cells. Our prior work has demonstrated that knockdown of the expression of either CLDN3 or CLDN4 produces marked changes in the phenotype of ovarian carcinoma cells including i...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of the claudin-16 gene by Mg2+ availability.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Renal tubular Mg(2+) reabsorption is mediated predominantly by the tight junction channel protein claudin-16 which is encoded by the gene CLDN16. Hypermagnesemia decreases, whereas hypomagnesemia increases Mg(2+) reabsorption. This study examines the role of claudin-16 in the adaptive response of the kidney to Mg(2+) availability. METHODS/RESULTS Mice received a low-, normal- ...
