Roles of claudin-2, ZO-1 and occludin in leaky HK-2 cells
BACKGROUND Claudin-2, ZO-1, and occludin are major components of tight junctions (TJs) in the proximal tubule. However, their roles in maintaining paracellular permeability as leaky epithelia have yet to be defined. METHODS To investigate the contributory role of TJ proteins in the leaky proximal tubule, we xamined the effect of inhibiting claudin-2, occludin, and ZO-1 expression on transepit...
متن کاملRoles of ZO-1, occludin, and actin in oxidant-induced barrier disruption.
Oxidants such as monochloramine (NH(2)Cl) decrease epithelial barrier function by disrupting perijunctional actin and possibly affecting the distribution of tight junctional proteins. These effects can, in theory, disturb cell polarization and affect critical membrane proteins by compromising molecular fence function of the tight junctions. To examine these possibilities, we investigated the ac...
متن کاملDistribution of the tight junction proteins ZO-1, occludin, and claudin-4, -8, and -12 in bladder epithelium.
In mammals, the bladder stores urine without permitting the passage of urine contents into the bloodstream, a function, in part, of the uroepithelial-associated tight junction complex. The protein constituents that make up this high-resistance barrier in the bladder are currently unknown, although the claudins, a multigene family, are thought to govern paracellular transport in other epithelia....
متن کاملClaudin-2 Knockout by TALEN-Mediated Gene Targeting in MDCK Cells: Claudin-2 Independently Determines the Leaky Property of Tight Junctions in MDCK Cells
Tight junctions (TJs) regulate the movements of substances through the paracellular pathway, and claudins are major determinants of TJ permeability. Claudin-2 forms high conductive cation pores in TJs. The suppression of claudin-2 expression by RNA interference in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) II cells (a low-resistance strain of MDCK cells) was shown to induce a three-fold increase in trans...
متن کاملSalmonella Infection Upregulates the Leaky Protein Claudin-2 in Intestinal Epithelial Cells
BACKGROUND Tight junctions seal the space between adjacent epithelial cells. Mounting evidence suggests that tight junction proteins play a key role in the pathogenesis of human disease. Claudin is a member of the tight junction protein family, which has 24 members in humans. To regulate cellular function, claudins interact structurally and functionally with membrane and scaffolding proteins vi...
