Involvement of claudin 3 and claudin 4 in idiopathic infantile hypercalcaemia: a novel hypothesis?
BACKGROUND Idiopathic infantile hypercalcaemia (IIH) is a rare disease that generally resolves spontaneously between the age of 1 and 3 years. Similar symptoms may occur in patients suffering from Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), which is caused by a microdeletion on chromosome 7. Two of the genes, named CLDN3 and CLDN4, located within this region are members of the claudin family that has been ...
متن کاملAltered expression of claudin-3 and claudin-4 in ectopic endometrium of women with endometriosis.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of claudin-3 and claudin-4 in the eutopic and ectopic endometrium of women with endometriosis and to evaluate the role of claudin-3 and claudin-4 in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. DESIGN Cross-sectional measurement of gene expression levels of claudin-3 and claudin-4 on endometriotic tissue. SETTING Academic. PATIENT(S) Thirty-five patients with...
متن کاملOverexpression of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin receptors claudin-3 and claudin-4 in uterine carcinosarcomas.
PURPOSE To evaluate the expression levels of claudin-3 and claudin-4, the low- and high-affinity receptors, respectively, for the cytotoxic Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) in uterine carcinosarcomas and explore the potential for targeting these receptors in the treatment of this aggressive uterine tumor. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We analyzed claudin-3 and claudin-4 receptor expression at ...
متن کاملExpression of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin receptors claudin-3 and claudin-4 in prostate cancer epithelium.
The mRNA for Rvp.1 (rat ventral prostate) increases in abundance before gland involution after androgen deprivation. Rvp.1 is homologous to CPE-R, the high-affinity intestinal epithelial receptor for Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE), and is sufficient to mediate CPE binding and trigger subsequent toxin-mediated cytolysis. Rvp.1 (claudin-3) and CPE-R (claudin-4) are members of a larger ...
متن کاملDifferential effects of claudin-3 and claudin-4 on alveolar epithelial barrier function.
Alveolar barrier function depends critically on the claudin family tight junction proteins. Of the major claudins expressed by alveolar epithelial cells, claudin (Cldn)-3 and Cldn-4 are the most closely related by amino acid homology, yet they differ dramatically in the pattern of expression. Previously published reports have shown that Cldn-3 is predominantly expressed by type II alveolar epit...
