27-Hydroxycholesterol induces expression of zonula occludens-1 in monocytic cells via multiple kinases pathways

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Zonula occludens (ZO)-1, a tight-junction protein (TJP), is expressed in dendritic cells (DCs) but not in monocytes, and 27-hydroxycholesterol (27OHChol) drives the differentiation of monocytes into DCs.

The antimicrobial effects of zinc oxide-calcium hydroxide mixture fillers: determining the ideal mixture ratio

open access: yesIranian Journal of Microbiology, 2019
Background and Objectives: Although zinc oxide (ZO)-calcium hydroxide (CaOH) mixtures have been successful regarding their absorption rate compatibility with dissolving primary teeth, no study has been conducted on the appropriate mixture ratio to obtain

Multiple effects of angiostatins in injured cornea [PDF]

open access: yesThe Ukrainian Biochemical Journal
Prolonged inflammation and excessive neovascularization of the cornea due to severe injury can impair optical clarity and lead to vision impairment. Plasminogen kringle (K) fragments, known as angiostatins (AS), play a well-established role as inhibitors

Hydroxysafflor Yellow A Blocks HIF-1α Induction of NOX2 and Protects ZO-1 Protein in Cerebral Microvascular Endothelium

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2022
Zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) is a tight junction protein in the cerebrovascular endothelium, responsible for blood–brain barrier function. Hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA) is a major ingredient of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) with antioxidative ...

Spatial Overlap of Claudin- and Phosphatidylinositol Phosphate-Binding Sites on the First PDZ Domain of Zonula Occludens 1 Studied by NMR

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
Background: The tight junction is an intercellular adhesion complex composed of claudins (CLDs), occludin, and the scaffolding proteins zonula occludens 1 (ZO-1) and its two paralogs ZO-2 and ZO-3.

Roles of claudin-2, ZO-1 and occludin in leaky HK-2 cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Claudin-2, ZO-1, and occludin are major components of tight junctions (TJs) in the proximal tubule. However, their roles in maintaining paracellular permeability as leaky epithelia have yet to be defined.To investigate the contributory role of TJ ...

ZO-1 Guides Tight Junction Assembly and Epithelial Morphogenesis via Cytoskeletal Tension-Dependent and -Independent Functions

open access: yesCells, 2022
Formation and maintenance of tissue barriers require the coordination of cell mechanics and cell–cell junction assembly. Here, we combined methods to modulate ECM stiffness and to measure mechanical forces on adhesion complexes to investigate how tight ...

The blending effect of natural polysaccharides with nano-zirconia towards the removal of fluoride and arsenate from water

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2023
Nano-zirconia (ZO) was synthesized using a microwave-assisted one-pot precipitation route. Two biopolymers, chitosan (CTS) and carboxymethyl cellulose were blended with ZO at different w/w ratios.
