Tricellulin Is Expressed in Autotypic Tight Junctions of Peripheral Myelinating Schwann Cells [PDF]
Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 2010 Autotypic tight junctions are formed by tight junction-like structures in three regions of myelinating Schwann cells, the paranodal loops, Schmidt–Lanterman incisures, and outer/inner mesaxons, and various tight junction molecules, including claudin-19 and junctional adhesion molecule (JAM)-C.

Curcumin Mitigates Immune-Induced Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction by Campylobacter jejuni [PDF]
, 2019 Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) is the most common cause of foodborne gastroenteritis worldwide. The bacteria induce diarrhea and inflammation by invading the intestinal epithelium. Curcumin is a natural polyphenol from turmeric rhizome of Curcuma longa,

Claudins in lung diseases [PDF]
, 2011 Tight junctions are the most apically localized part of the epithelial junctional complex. They regulate the permeability and polarity of cell layers and create compartments in cell membranes. Claudins are structural molecules of tight junctions.

Role of tight junctions in signal transduction: an update [PDF]
, 2014 Tight junctions (TJs), which are the most apically located of the intercellular junctional complexes, have a barrier function and a fence function. Recent studies show that they also participate in signal transduction mechanisms.

Tight junctions at the blood brain barrier: physiological architecture and disease-associated dysregulation. [PDF]
, 2012 International audienceABSTRACT: The Blood--brain barrier (BBB), present at the level of the endothelium of cerebral blood vessels, selectively restricts the blood-to-brain paracellular diffusion of compounds; it is mandatory for cerebral homeostasis and ...

A look at tricellulin and its role in tight junction formation and maintenance
European Journal of Cell Biology, 2011 Tight junctions are elaborate networks of transmembrane and cytosolic proteins that regulate epithelial permeability. Tricellulin was the first tight junction protein found at tricellular tight junctions, the specialized structures occurring where three cells meet together. Here, we summarize the current knowledge about tricellulin (marvelD2), a MARVEL

Excess PLAC8 promotes an unconventional ERK2-dependent EMT in colon cancer [PDF]
, 2014 The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) transcriptional program is characterized by repression of E-cadherin (CDH1) and induction of N-cadherin (CDH2), and mesenchymal genes like vimentin (VIM).
