NFkB and Nrf2 in esophageal epithelial barrier function
The stratified squamous epithelium of the esophagus forms a tight protective barrier. Defects of the barrier function contribute to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is manifested as damage to the esophageal epithelium due to exposure to the gastrointestinal refluxate. In this review, we discuss the involvement of NFkB and Nrf2 in esophageal epithelial barrier function. Understandin...
متن کاملAdherens Junctions, Desmosomes and Tight Junctions in Epidermal Barrier Function
The skin is an indispensable barrier which protects the body from the uncontrolled loss of water and solutes as well as from chemical and physical assaults and the invasion of pathogens. In recent years several studies have suggested an important role of intercellular junctions for the barrier function of the epidermis. In this review we summarize our knowledge of the impact of adherens junctio...
متن کاملEnhancement of Epithelial Barrier Function by Probiotics
Probiotics are microbial organisms that are administered in supplements or foods to enhance the well-being of the host. There exists substantial evidence that in a strain and dose-dependent manner, probiotics can modulate systemic and mucosal immune function, improve intestinal barrier function, alter gut microecology, and exert metabolic effects on the host. Several strains of Lactobacillus an...
متن کاملTGF-β1 Alters Esophageal Epithelial Barrier Function by Attenuation of Claudin-7 in Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Barrier dysfunction has been implicated in the pathophysiology of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), a potent pleiotropic molecule, is increased in EoE; however, no study has evaluated its influence on esophageal epithelial barrier. We hypothesized that TGF-β1 regulates barrier dysfunction in EoE. We aimed to determine the role of TGF-β1 in the epithelial ba...
متن کاملBile salts disrupt human esophageal squamous epithelial barrier function by modulating tight junction proteins.
Reflux of acid and bile acids contributes to epithelial tissue injury in gastro-esophageal reflux disease. However, the influence of refluxed material on human esophageal stratified epithelial barrier function and tight junction (TJ) proteins has not been fully elucidated. Here, we investigated the influence of acid and bile acids on barrier function and TJ protein distribution using a newly de...
