Campylobacter concisus Impairs Sodium Absorption in Colonic Epithelium via ENaC Dysfunction and Claudin-8 Disruption [PDF]

, 2020
The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) can increase the colonic absorptive capacity for salt and water. Campylobacter concisus is a common pathogenic epsilonproteobacterium, causing enteritis and diarrhea. It can induce barrier dysfunction in the intestine,

Enhanced mitochondrial activity reshapes a gut microbiota profile that delays NASH progression

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Improved mitochondrial activity, due to the lack of methylation‐controlled J protein (MCJ), creates a specific microbiota signature that when transferred through cecal microbiota transplantation delays NASH progression by restoring the gut‐liver axis and enhancing hepatic fatty acid oxidation.

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.

Zonula occludens 1 as a novel biomarker in decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis with hepatorenal syndrome [PDF]

Exploration of Digestive Diseases
Aim: Our previous study provided evidence that systemic zonula occludens (ZO) 1 levels are elevated in cirrhotic and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Here, we aimed to evaluate serum ZO-1 levels in patients with decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis (

Telmisartan Increases the Permeability of Endothelial Cells through Zonula Occludens-1

Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2009
Angiotensin receptor-1 blockers (ARBs) have been used for the treatment of atherosclerosis. Tight junctions are very important in the regulation of cellular permeability which may have a profound role in atherosclerosis. The relationship between them is unresolved.
