Moderate Reduction in Dietary Net Energy Level Enhances Intestinal Health in Tunchang Pigs via Gut Microbiota Modulation

Animals
To investigate the effects of low net-energy (NE) diets on intestinal health in Tunchang pigs, 96 animals (25.40 ± 1.11 kg) were randomly assigned to four dietary treatment groups with NE levels of 9.82 (CG), 9.57 (EY1), 9.32 (EY2), and 9.07 (EY3) MJ/kg.

Tight junction protein ZO-1 in Kawasaki disease

BMC Pediatrics, 2021
Background Kawasaki disease (KD) is a form of systemic febrile vasculitis that is complicated with coronary artery lesions (CAL). The tight junctions that maintain the intestinal barrier also play a role in systemic inflammatory diseases.

Connexin 43 connexon to gap junction transition is regulated by zonula occludens-1

Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2011
Connexin 43 (Cx43) is a gap junction (GJ) protein widely expressed in mammalian tissues that mediates cell-to-cell coupling. Intercellular channels comprising GJ aggregates form from docking of paired connexons, with one each contributed by apposing cells.

INVESTİGATİON OF ZONULA OCCLUDENS-1 PROTEİN LEVEL İN RECTUM TİSSUE AFTER RADİOTHERAPY

International Journal of Research -GRANTHAALAYAH, 2020
The transmembrane protein zonula occludens of rectal tissue has function to prevents the spread of bacterial toxins into the intestinal mucosa and to systemic circulation. But radiotherapy causes ablation of crypt cell proliferation, mitotic catastrophe, and apoptosis leading to gastrointestinal mucositis.

The PDZ2 domain of zonula occludens-1 and -2 is a phosphoinositide binding domain [PDF]

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2009
Zonula occludens proteins (ZO) are postsynaptic density protein-95 discs large-zonula occludens (PDZ) domain-containing proteins that play a fundamental role in the assembly of tight junctions and establishment of cell polarity. Here, we show that the second PDZ domain of ZO-1 and ZO-2 binds phosphoinositides (PtdInsP) and we identified critical ...

Oral Celastrol Nanomedicine Targeting Intestinal Antigen‐Presenting Cells to Effectively Mitigate Autoimmune Uveitis via Gut‐Retina Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Oral nanoCEL exhibits effective intestinal targeting of antigen‐presenting cells and restores the Th17/Treg balance in lymph nodes and spleen, ultimately protecting the blood‐retinal barrier by inhibiting peripheral immune cell infiltration and suppressing retinal glial cell activation.

Prophylactic Effect of Rebamipide on Aspirin-Induced Gastric Lesions and Disruption of Tight Junctional Protein Zonula Occludens-1 Distribution

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
Aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents are known to induce gastroduodenal complications such as ulcer, bleeding, and dyspepsia. In this study, we examined the prophylactic effect of rebamipide, an anti-ulcer agent with free-radical scavenging ...

Expression of myoferlin in human airway epithelium and its role in cell adhesion and zonula occludens-1 expression. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Normal airway epithelial barrier function is maintained by cell-cell contacts which require the translocation of adhesion proteins at the cell surface, through membrane vesicle trafficking and fusion events.

DR3 Regulates Intestinal Epithelial Homeostasis and Regeneration After Intestinal Barrier InjurySummary

Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2023
Background & Aims: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily member tumor necrosis factor–like protein 1A (TL1A) has been associated with the susceptibility and severity of inflammatory bowel diseases. However, the function of the tumor necrosis factor–

Hepatoma cell density promotes claudin-1 and scavenger receptor BI expression and hepatitis C virus internalization. [PDF]

, 2009
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry occurs via a pH- and clathrin-dependent endocytic pathway and requires a number of cellular factors, including CD81, the tight-junction proteins claudin 1 (CLDN1) and occludin, and scavenger receptor class B member I (SR-BI).
