Myosin light chain phosphorylation regulates barrier function by remodeling tight junction structure.
Epithelial tight junctions form a barrier against passive paracellular flux. This barrier is regulated by complex physiologic and pathophysiologic signals that acutely fine-tune tight junction permeability. Although actomyosin contraction and myosin light chain phosphorylation are clearly involved in some forms of tight junction regulation, the contributions of other signaling events and the ro...

Bile duct epithelium forms a barrier to the backflow of bile into the liver parenchyma. However, the structure and regulation of the tight junctions in bile duct epithelium is not well understood. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of lipopolysaccharide on tight junction integrity and barrier function in normal rat cholangiocyte monolayers. Lipopolysaccharide disrupts barrier functio...
متن کاملOccludin S408 phosphorylation regulates tight junction protein interactions and barrier function
Although the C-terminal cytoplasmic tail of the tight junction protein occludin is heavily phosphorylated, the functional impact of most individual sites is undefined. Here, we show that inhibition of CK2-mediated occludin S408 phosphorylation elevates transepithelial resistance by reducing paracellular cation flux. This regulation requires occludin, claudin-1, claudin-2, and ZO-1. S408 dephosp...
متن کاملClaudin Proteins in Human Cancer: Promising New Targets
The tight junction proteins claudins are abnormally regulated in several human cancers. In particular, claudin-3 and claudin4 are frequently overexpressed in several neoplasias, including ovarian, breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancers. Although the exact roles of these proteins in tumorigenesis are still being uncovered, it is clear that they represent promising targets for cancer detection,...
متن کاملClaudin-3 and claudin-4 expression in ovarian epithelial cells enhances invasion and is associated with increased matrix metalloproteinase-2 activity.
Claudin proteins form a large family of integral membrane proteins crucial for tight junction formation and function. Our previous studies have revealed that claudin-3 and claudin-4 proteins are highly overexpressed in ovarian cancer. To clarify the roles of claudins in ovarian tumorigenesis, we have generated human ovarian surface epithelial (HOSE) cells constitutively expressing wild-type cla...
