Deficiency of Mitochondrial Fatty Acid Enzyme, CPT1A, Underlies Airway Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction in Severe Asthma

Allergy, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial fatty acid enzyme, CPT1A, is deficient in the airway epithelium of severe asthma patients. Restoration of CPT1A expression improved epithelial barrier integrity via increasing mitochondrial respiration and ATP production in airway epithelial cells. Restoration of deficient epithelial CPT1A may represent a new treatment approach for severe

Rab7a is required to degrade select blood-brain barrier junctional proteins after ischemic stroke

Acta Neuropathologica Communications
The integrity of adherens and tight junctions is critical for blood-brain barrier (BBB) function in the healthy brain. Disassembly of cell junctions due to degradation of adherens and tight junction-associated proteins leads to acute BBB dysfunction ...

Role of airway epithelial barrier dysfunction in pathogenesis of asthma

Allergology International, 2018
Bronchial asthma is characterized by persistent cough, increased sputum, and repeated wheezing. The pathophysiology underlying these symptoms is the hyper-responsiveness of the airway along with chronic airway inflammation.

Characterisation of Aardvark, a Dictyostelium ß-catenin. [PDF]

, 2003
Wnt signalling is active both in development and the progression of certain disease processes, most notably cancer. Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK-3) and ß-catenin both define the canonical Wnt pathway, where GSK-3 negatively regulates ß-catenin ...

A Labile Pool of IQGAP1 Disassembles Endothelial Adherens Junctions

, 2013
Adhesion molecules are known to play an important role in endothelial activation and angiogenesis. Here we determined the functional role of IQGAP1 in the regulation of endothelial adherens junctions.

Afadin regulates actomyosin organization through αE-catenin at adherens junctions [PDF]

, 2020
Actomyosin-undercoated adherens junctions are critical for epithelial cell integrity and remodeling. Actomyosin associates with adherens junctions through αE-catenin complexed with β-catenin and E-cadherin in vivo; however, in vitro biochemical studies ...

Nasal Epithelial Immune Signatures Are Associated With Age‐Dependent Asthma Trajectories in Early Life

Allergy, EarlyView.
Nasal epithelial transcriptomics identified three cytokine‐associated epithelial immune programs linked to childhood asthma phenotypes. Age‐associated epithelial polarization shifted from IFN/type‐17‐associated toward type‐2‐associated programs after 3 years of age.

The T-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channel CaV3.1 involves in the disruption of respiratory epithelial barrier induced by Pasteurella multocida toxin

Virulence
Pasteurella multocida toxin (PMT) is an exotoxin produced by several members of the zoonotic respiratory pathogen P. multocida. The role of PMT in disrupting the mammalian respiratory barrier remains to be elucidated.

Failed Mucosal Allostasis Distinguishes Murine IgG‐ From IgE‐Mediated Recurrent Severe Anaphylaxis

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study investigates IgE‐ and IgG‐mediated pathways in acute and recurrent anaphylaxis using a murine ASA‐PSA model, assessing barrier integrity, immune activation and tissue remodelling across pulmonary and intestinal compartments. Recurrent IgE‐ and IgG‐mediated anaphylaxis produces divergent mucosal outcomes despite comparable systemic severity ...

The Functional Role and Molecular Characterization of the Therapeutic Target CLDN6 in Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The tight junction protein CLDN6 has been identified as a cancer‐associated cell surface marker that is rarely expressed in healthy tissues. In testicular germ cell tumors (GCT), CLDN6 is particularly detectable in seminomas, embryonal carcinomas, and choriocarcinomas.
