Tight junctions and compression therapy in chronic venous insufficiency.
Tight junctions (TJs) provide a barrier function, inhibiting solute and water flow through the paracellular space. There had been no analysis until now as to how tight junction molecules could be involved in the pathology of patients with chronic venous insufficiency. The aim of the study was to analyse the expression pattern of TJ-molecules occludin (OCLN), claudin-1 (CLDN-1), claudin-3 (CLDN-...
متن کاملTight Junctions
Epithelial cells cover the body (e.g. skin), cavities (e.g. stomach, uterus, bladder) and ducts (e.g. renal tubules, intestine) of multicellular organisms, and thus constitute the frontier between the individual and the external milieu. In areas that withstand strong mechanical or chemical stress (e.g. skin, esophagus, cornea, vagina) epithelia are stratified, whereas in the rest of the body, t...
متن کاملTight junctions
part of my lab in that direction with work on human embryonic stem cells which, as we have come to learn, show aberrant epigenetic regulation. There is a lot to learn from this much needed human model. What do you enjoy most about science? The challenge, the discovery, and the people. In this profession, one meets some of the brightest (and most eccentric) minds on Earth. Although I dislike air...
متن کاملTight junctions.
Tight junctions are the most apical intercellular junctions of epithelial and endothelial cells and create a regulatable semipermeable diffusion barrier between individual cells. On a cellular level, they form an intramembrane diffusion fence that restricts the intermixing of apical and basolateral membrane components. In addition to these well defined functions, more recent evidence suggests t...
متن کاملInhibiting Invasion into Human Bladder Carcinoma 5637 Cells with Diallyl Trisulfide by Inhibiting Matrix Metalloproteinase Activities and Tightening Tight Junctions
Diallyl trisulfide (DATS), an organosulfur compound in garlic, possesses pronounced anti-cancer potential. However, the anti-invasive mechanism of this compound in human bladder carcinoma is not fully understood. In this study, we evaluated the anti-invasive effects of DATS on a human bladder carcinoma (5637) cell line and investigated the underlying mechanism. The results indicated that DATS s...
