Downregulation of tight junction protein zonula occludens-2 and urothelium damage in a cyclophosphamide-induced mouse model of cystitis

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2018
Objectives: The cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced model of cystitis in mice closely fits the symptoms of chronic bladder inflammation. Cystitis was recently found to be due to an altered gap junction protein in a rat model. Thus, this study was conducted to

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)

Association of connexin36 and zonula occludens-1 with zonula occludens-2 and the transcription factor zonula occludens-1-associated nucleic acid-binding protein at neuronal gap junctions in rodent retina [PDF]

Neuroscience, 2006
Most gap junctions between neurons in mammalian retina contain abundant connexin36, often in association with the scaffolding protein zonula occludens-1. We now investigate co-association of connexin36, zonula occludens-1, zonula occludens-2 and Y-box transcription factor 3 (zonula occludens-1-associated nucleic acid-binding protein) in mouse and rat ...
