Neoplasia: 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

Regulation of Tight Junctions by Sex Hormones in Goat Mammary Epithelial Cells
Animals, 2022 The sex hormones of estrogen and progesterone (P4) play a vital role in mammary gland development and milk lactation in ruminants. The tight junction (TJ) between adjacent secretory epithelial cells is instrumental in establishing the mammary blood–milk ...

Subcellular Distribution of Tight Junction-Associated Proteins (Occludin, ZO-1, ZO-2) in Rodent Skin [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1998 Occludin is an integral membrane protein that is concentrated at tight junctions (zonulae occludentes) in simple epithelial cells. ZO-1 and ZO-2 are peripheral membrane proteins that are localized at tight junctions in simple epithelial cells and at cadherin-based adherens junctions in nonepithelial cells.

Protective Functions of ZO-2/Tjp2 Expressed in Hepatocytes and Cholangiocytes Against Liver Injury and Cholestasis [PDF]
Gastroenterology, 2019 BACKGROUND & AIMSTight junctions (TJs) establish tissue barriers that maintain osmotic homeostasis and, in the liver, isolate bile flow from the blood circulation. ZO-2/Tjp2 is a scaffold protein that tethers TJ transmembrane proteins to the actin cytoskeleton.

Differential adhesion molecule expression during murine embryonic stem cell commitment to the hematopoietic and endothelial lineages. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC) make cell fate decisions based on intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The decision of ESC to differentiate to multiple lineages in vitro occurs during the formation of embryoid bodies (EB) and is influenced by cell ...
