Tight junction protein ZO-1 in Kawasaki disease [PDF]
Background Kawasaki disease (KD) is a form of systemic febrile vasculitis that is complicated with coronary artery lesions (CAL). The tight junctions that maintain the intestinal barrier also play a role in systemic inflammatory diseases.

ZO-1 interacts with YB-1 in endothelial cells to regulate stress granule formation during angiogenesis [PDF]
Zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) is involved in the regulation of cell-cell junctions between endothelial cells (ECs). Here we identify the ZO-1 protein interactome and uncover ZO-1 interactions with RNA-binding proteins that are part of stress granules (SGs ...

Context-dependent interactions among afadin, ZO-1, and actin filaments [PDF]
Afadin and ZO-1 are actin-binding scaffold proteins localized at cell-cell junctions. Although these proteins contain multiple protein-binding motifs for various junctional proteins, their binding partners within cells are strictly regulated.

MicroRNA-103 regulates the progression in endometrial carcinoma through ZO-1 [PDF]
Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is one of the most common gynecological cancers in many developing countries. Although tremendous advances have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of EC, there is still no adequate biomarker currently available for ...

Lipopolysaccharide downregulates the expression of ZO-1 protein through the Akt pathway. [PDF]
Background Neonatal bacterial meningitis is a common neonatal disease with high morbidity, and can cause serious sequelae when left untreated. Escherichia coli is the common pathogen, and its endotoxin, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can damage the endothelial

Tight junction proteins occludin and ZO-1 as regulators of epithelial proliferation and survival. [PDF]
Epithelial cells are the first line of mucosal defense. In the intestine, a single layer of epithelial cells must establish a selectively permeable barrier that supports nutrient absorption and waste secretion while preventing the leakage of potentially ...

ZO-1 Regulates Intercalated Disc Composition and Atrioventricular Node Conduction [PDF]
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Rationale: ZO-1 (Zona occludens 1), encoded by the tight junction protein 1 (TJP1) gene, is a regulator of paracellular permeability in epithelia and endothelia.
