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

Zonula occludens-1 expression is reduced in nasal epithelial cells of allergic rhinitis patients [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common allergic disease characterized by disruption of nasal epithelial barrier. In this study, we investigated the mRNA expression of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), ZO-2 and ZO-3 and histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) and HDAC2 in AR ...

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

Zonula occludens and nasal epithelial barrier integrity in allergic rhinitis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common disease affecting 400 million of the population worldwide. Nasal epithelial cells form a barrier against the invasion of environmental pathogens. These nasal epithelial cells are connected together by tight junction (TJ)
