MiR-144 Increases Intestinal Permeability in IBS-D Rats by Targeting OCLN and ZO1 [PDF]
Background/Aims: Irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea (IBS-D) is a chronic, functional bowel disorder characterized by abdominal pain or diarrhoea and altered bowel habits, which correlate with intestinal hyperpermeability.

SARS-CoV-2 Envelope (E) protein interacts with PDZ-domain-2 of host tight junction protein ZO1. [PDF]
Newly emerged SARS-CoV-2 is the cause of an ongoing global pandemic leading to severe respiratory disease in humans. SARS-CoV-2 targets epithelial cells in the respiratory tract and lungs, which can lead to amplified chloride secretion and increased leak

Cultured human podocytes were infected with lentiviral particle encoding pre-hsa-miR-143-3p, pre-hsa-miR-145-5p, or scrambled control allele (Sc) and subjected to following analysis. (A) After incubation with or without 5 ng/mL TGF-β1 for 24 hours, ZO1 mRNA expression levels were examined by RT-qPCR.

Podocytes were cultured with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as vehicle control alone, 20 nM rapamycin (Rapa) alone, DMSO plus 5 ng/mL TGF-β1, or 20 nM Rapa plus 5 ng/mL TGF-β1 for 24 hours. (A) In podocytes exposed to DMSO plus TGF-β1, F-actin stress fiber formation was enhanced, ZO1 expression at intercellular junctions was decreased, and α-SMA expression ...

Decreased ZO1 expression causes loss of time-dependent tight junction function in the liver of ob/ob mice [PDF]
Abstract Diabetes patients are at a high risk of developing complications related to angiopathy and disruption of the signal transduction system. The liver is one of the multiple organs damaged during diabetes. Few studies have evaluated the morphological effects of adhesion factors in diabetic liver. The influence of diurnal variation has been
