Mechanisms of Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction by Adherent-Invasive Escherichia coli. [PDF]
, 2016 Pathobiont expansion, such as that of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC), is an emerging factor associated with inflammatory bowel disease. The intestinal epithelial barrier is the first line of defense against these pathogens.

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018 Background Brain microvascular endothelial cells form a highly selective blood brain barrier regulated by the endothelial tight junctions. Cerebral ischemia selectively targets tight junction protein complexes, which leads to significant damage to ...

Dual Roles of Tight Junction-associated Protein, Zonula Occludens-1, in Sphingosine 1-Phosphate-mediated Endothelial Chemotaxis and Barrier Integrity [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2006 In this report, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a serum-borne bioactive lipid, is shown to activate tight-junction-associated protein Zonula Occludens-1 (ZO-1), which in turn plays a critical role in regulating endothelial chemotaxis and barrier integrity.

Curcumin Mitigates Immune-Induced Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction by Campylobacter jejuni [PDF]
, 2019 Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) is the most common cause of foodborne gastroenteritis worldwide. The bacteria induce diarrhea and inflammation by invading the intestinal epithelium. Curcumin is a natural polyphenol from turmeric rhizome of Curcuma longa,
