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 ...

Altered Expression of ZO-1 and ZO-2 in Sertoli Cells and Loss of Blood-Testis Barrier Integrity in Testicular Carcinoma In Situ

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2006
Carcinoma in situ (CIS) is the noninvasive precursor of most human testicular germ cell tumors. In normal seminiferous epithelium, specialized tight junctions between Sertoli cells constitute the major component of the blood-testis barrier. Sertoli cells

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.

ZO-1 and ZO-2 are required for extra-embryonic endoderm integrity, primitive ectoderm survival and normal cavitation in embryoid bodies derived from mouse embryonic stem cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The Zonula Occludens proteins ZO-1 and ZO-2 are cell-cell junction-associated adaptor proteins that are essential for the structural and regulatory functions of tight junctions in epithelial cells and their absence leads to early embryonic lethality in ...

Quantitative understanding of HepaRG cells during drug‐induced intrahepatic cholestasis through changes in bile canaliculi dynamics

open access: yesPharmacology Research & Perspectives, 2022
An understanding of the quantitative relationship between bile canaliculus (BC) dynamics and the disruption of tight junctions (TJs) during drug‐induced intrahepatic cholestasis may lead to new strategies aimed at drug development and toxicity testing ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Zonula occludens 2 and Cell-Cell Contacts Are Required for Normal Nuclear Shape in Epithelia

open access: yesCells, 2021
MAGUK protein ZO-2 is present at tight junctions (TJs) and nuclei. In MDCK ZO-2 knockdown (KD) cells, nuclei exhibit an irregular shape with lobules and indentations.

The heat-shock protein Apg-2 binds to the tight junction protein ZO-1 and regulates transcriptional activity of ZONAB [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The tight junction adaptor protein ZO-1 regulates intracellular signaling and cell proliferation. Its Src homology 3 (SH3) domain is required for the regulation of proliferation and binds to the Y-box transcription factor ZO-1-associated nucleic acid ...
