Intestinal Barrier Function in Gluten-Related Disorders [PDF]
, 2019 Gluten-related disorders include distinct disease entities, namely celiac disease, wheat-associated allergy and non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity. Despite having in common the contact of the gastrointestinal mucosa with components of wheat and other ...

Occludin expression inhibits tumorigenicity and metastasis
The FASEB Journal, 2006 Occludin is the first identified integral protein for tight junction (TJ), and its long C‐terminal domain is considered to have functions in receiving or transmitting cell survival signals. Loss of TJ‐associated molecules such as occludin has been correlated with tumor progression in carcinogenesis: however, the precise molecular mechanisms explaining ...

Mechanisms of Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction by Adherent-Invasive Escherichia coli. [PDF]
, 2016 Pathobiont expansion, such as that of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC), is an emerging factor associated with inflammatory bowel disease. The intestinal epithelial barrier is the first line of defense against these pathogens.

Role of Stress on Driving the Intestinal Paracellular Permeability
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023 The gut epithelium is a polarized monolayer that exhibits apical and basolateral membrane surfaces. Monolayer cell components are joined side by side via protein complexes known as tight junction proteins (TJPs), expressed at the most apical extreme of ...

A Simulated Microgravity Environment Causes a Sustained Defect in Epithelial Barrier Function. [PDF]
, 2019 Intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) junctions constitute a robust barrier to invasion by viruses, bacteria and exposure to ingested agents. Previous studies showed that microgravity compromises the human immune system and increases enteropathogen virulence.

Peripheral Inflammation Enhances Microglia Response and Nigral Dopaminergic Cell Death in an in vivo MPTP Model of Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
, 2018 The impact of systemic inflammation in nigral dopaminergic cell loss remains unclear. Here, we have investigated the role of peripheral inflammation induced by systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration in the MPTP-based model of Parkinson’s ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An oral nanoplatform, MOP@T@D, which can maintain glucose homeostasis and restore islet β cells in diabetic rats is developed. It achieves efficient intestinal absorption and liver‐targeted delivery. The nanoparticle disintegrates only in response to hyperglycemia to release insulin on demand and provides antioxidant protection through selenoprotein ...
