... effects of beta-hydroxybutyric acid. This study investigated the effects of butyrate on growth performance, diarrhea symptoms, and tight junction protein levels in 21-day-old weaned piglets. We also studied the mechanism by which butyric acid regulates intestinal permeability. Methods: Twenty-four piglets...

... in vitro . Initiative key cytokines, TSLP and IL-33, were measured by ELISA, qPCR, immunofluorescence and Western blot. The junctions in epithelial cells were observed by electron microscopy and tight junctions (TJs) (Occludin and ZO-1) were assessed by Western blot and immunofluorescence. TLR4, MyD88...

... was monitored continuously by measurements of the cell index (CI) to reveal even subtle and transient changes. Expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins was determined as additional indicator of barrier stability. Results: After a sharp but transient CI drop caused by VEGF-A 165 early after its addition...

... heterozygous for the acid sphingomyelinase. We determined activation and topology of inflammasome components as well as expression of tight junction proteins by confocal microscopy, western blotting and ELISA. Results: We demonstrate an upregulation and membrane recruitment of the adapter protein apoptosis...

... in migratory cells. Many of the alterations are expected to affect the permeability of tight junctions. Also the nectin-afadin complex of adherens junctions was modulated as well as the expression of both the chemokine receptor CXCR4 and the EGF receptor. Of note, restitution was not accompanied...

...Daniel Lambert; Catherine O’Neill; Philip Padfield In a previous study we demonstrated that depletion of Caco-2 cell cholesterol results in the loss of tight junction (TJ) integrity through the movement of claudins 3 and 4 and occludin, but not claudin 1, out of the TJs [1]. The aims of this study...
