Endothelial paracellular permeability assay v1
The human umbilical vein endothelial cell line EA.hy926 (ATCC; Mannasas, VA, USA) was cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) in an atmosphere of 5% CO2/95% air and 37°C. EA.hy926 cells (105cells/plate) were seeded in transwell inserts (Corning® BiocoatTM Cell Culture Inserts Collagen, Type I Rat

Albuterol Modulates Its Own Transepithelial Flux via Changes in Paracellular Permeability [PDF]
Although inhaled bronchodilators are commonly used in the treatment of airway disease to dilate airway smooth muscle, little is known regarding the mechanisms that regulate albuterol movement across the epithelium to reach its target, the airway smooth muscle. Because the rate of onset depends on the transepithelial transport of albuterol, to determine

A ROS‐responsive, zwitterionic nanocage enables stable, intranasal siRNA delivery to glioblastoma, promoting deep tumor penetration via non‐degradative pathways and trigeminal nerve transport. This platform achieves durable gene silencing and tumor suppression, offering a non‐invasive, storage‐stable strategy for treating glioma and other neurological ...

The Effects of Pregnenolone 16α-Carbonitrile Dosing on Digoxin Pharmacokinetics and Intestinal Absorption in the Rat [PDF]
The effect of Pgp induction in rats by pregnenolone 16α-carbonitrile (PCN) (3 days, 35 mg/kg/d, p.o.) on digoxin pharmacokinetics and intestinal transport has been assessed.

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome
ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...

A Simulated Microgravity Environment Causes a Sustained Defect in Epithelial Barrier Function. [PDF]
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.

Intestinal barrier function and absorption in pigs after waeaning: a review [PDF]
Under commercial conditions, weaning of piglets is associated with social, environmental and dietary stress. Consequently, small-intestinal barrier and absorptive functions deteriorate within a short time after weaning.

The arteriolar vasodilatation model of vibrio cholerae induced diarrhoeal disease [PDF]
Secretory diarrhoeal disease caused by enterotoxins produced by pathogenic bacteria is characterised by severe fluid loss into the intestine. A prevalent explanation for such high rates of loss, such as occur in episodes of cholera, is that intestinal ...

Ion permeability profiles of renal paracellular channel‐forming claudins
AbstractAimMembers of the claudin protein family are the major constituents of tight junction strands and determine the permeability properties of the paracellular pathway. In the kidney, each nephron segment expresses a distinct subset of claudins that form either barriers against paracellular solute transport or charge‐ and size‐selective ...
