Tight junction physiology of pleural mesothelium
Pleura consists of visceral and parietal cell layers, producing a fluid, which is necessary for lubrication of the pleural space. Function of both mesothelial cell layers is necessary for the regulation of a constant pleural fluid volume and composition to facilitate lung movement during breathing. Recent studies have demonstrated that pleural mesothelial cells show a distinct expression patter...
متن کاملPhysiology and function of the tight junction.
Understanding of tight junctions has evolved from their historical perception as inert solute barriers to recognition of their physiological and biochemical complexity. Many proteins are specifically localized to tight junctions, including cytoplasmic actin-binding proteins and adhesive transmembrane proteins. Among the latter are claudins, which are critical barrier proteins. Current informati...
متن کاملThe pleural mesothelium in development and disease
The pleural mesothelium, derived from the embryonic mesoderm, is formed by a metabolically active monolayer of cells that blanket the chest wall and lungs on the parietal and visceral surfaces, respectively. The pleura and lungs are formed as a result of an intricate relationship between the mesoderm and the endoderm during development. Mesenchymal signaling pathways such as Wnt/B-catenin, Bmp4...
متن کاملMolecular physiology and pathophysiology of tight junctions V. assault of the tight junction by enteric pathogens.
Studies of the impact of enteric pathogens and their virulence factors on the proteins comprising the tight junction and zonula adherens offer a novel approach to dissection of tight junctional complex regulation. Most studies to date provide only tantalizing clues that select pathogens may indeed assault the tight junctional complex. Information on critical human pathogens such as Campylobacte...
متن کامل-related Tight Junction Events
The molecular mechanisms by which Ca 2 1 and metal ions interact with the binding sites that modulate the tight junctions (TJs) have not been fully described. Metal ions were used as probes of these sites in the frog urinary bladder. Basolateral Ca 2 1 withdrawal induces the opening of the TJs, a process that is abruptly terminated when Ca 2 1 is readmitted, and is followed by a complete recove...
