Brain barriers: Crosstalk between complex tight junctions and adherens junctions
Unique intercellular junctional complexes between the central nervous system (CNS) microvascular endothelial cells and the choroid plexus epithelial cells form the endothelial blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the epithelial blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB), respectively. These barriers inhibit paracellular diffusion, thereby protecting the CNS from fluctuations in the blood. Studies of br...
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 کاملAdherens junctions
How did genetic analysis get started in this system? Here we depended on a breakthrough from the lab of Peter Wolk and Jeff Elhai at Michigan State. They showed that DNA could be transferred by conjugation from E. coli to Anabaena. Postdoc Bill Buikema first isolated mutants incapable of fixing nitrogen, most of which could not differentiate heterocysts. He then used a cosmid library of wild-ty...
متن کاملAdherens junctions and tight junctions are regulated via different pathways by progastrin in epithelial cells.
Adhesion between neighbouring epithelial cells is a crucial and tightly controlled process. In the gastrointestinal tract, the integrity of cell-cell contacts is essential for the regulation of electrolyte absorption and for the prevention of tumour metastasis. We recently showed that migration of the gastric epithelial cell line IMGE-5 is stimulated by the nonamidated form of the hormone gastr...
متن کاملFormin' adherens junctions
pithelial cells zipper together thanks to linear actin cables—cables that assemble at newly formed adherens junctions to stabilize them, thereby counteracting retractive forces at sites of cell–cell contact. Now, Agnieszka Kobielak, Amalia Pasolli, and Elaine Fuchs (Rockefeller University, New York, NY) have found that formin-1 drives the actin polymerization that creates the cables. Formin-1 e...
