Claudin-11/OSP-based tight junctions of myelin sheaths in brain and Sertoli cells in testis. (1/444)

Members of the newly identified claudin gene family constitute tight junction (TJ) strands, which play a pivotal role in compartmentalization in multicellular organisms. We identified oligodendrocyte-specific protein (OSP) as claudin-11, a new claudin family member, due to its sequence similarity to claudins as well as its ability to form TJ strands in transfected fibroblasts. Claudin-11/OSP mRNA was expressed in the brain and testis. Immunofluorescence microscopy with anti-claudin-11/OSP polyclonal antibody (pAb) and anti-neurofilament mAb revealed that in the brain claudin-11/OSP-positive linear structures run in a gentle spiral around neurofilament-positive axons. At the electron microscopic level, these linear structures were identified as the so-called interlamellar strands in myelin sheaths of oligodendrocytes. In testis, well-developed TJ strands of Sertoli cells were specifically labeled with anti-claudin-11/OSP pAb both at immunofluorescence and electron microscopic levels. These findings indicated that the interlamellar strands of oligodendrocyte myelin sheaths can be regarded as a variant of TJ strands found in many other epithelial cells, and that these strands share a specific claudin species, claudin-11/OSP, with those in Sertoli cells to create and maintain the repeated compartments around axons by oligodendrocytes.  (+info)

Transmembrane proteins in the tight junction barrier. (2/444)

Three types of transmembrane proteins have been identified within the tight junction, but it remains to be determined how they provide the molecular basis for regulating the paracellular permeability for water, solutes, and immune cells. Several of these proteins localize specifically within the continuous cell-to-cell contacts of the tight junction. One of these, occludin, is a cell adhesion molecule that has been demonstrated to influence ion and solute permeability. The claudins are a family of four-membrane spanning proteins; unexpectedly, other members of this family have already been characterized without recognizing their relationship to tight junctions. Junction adhesion molecule, the most recently identified tight junction component, is a member of the Ig superfamily and influences the paracellular transmigration of immune cells. A plaque of cytoplasmic proteins under the junction may be responsible for scaffolding the transmembrane proteins, creating a link to the perijunctional actin cytoskeleton and transducing regulatory signals that control the paracellular barrier.  (+info)

Paracellin-1, a renal tight junction protein required for paracellular Mg2+ resorption. (3/444)

Epithelia permit selective and regulated flux from apical to basolateral surfaces by transcellular passage through cells or paracellular flux between cells. Tight junctions constitute the barrier to paracellular conductance; however, little is known about the specific molecules that mediate paracellular permeabilities. Renal magnesium ion (Mg2+) resorption occurs predominantly through a paracellular conductance in the thick ascending limb of Henle (TAL). Here, positional cloning has identified a human gene, paracellin-1 (PCLN-1), mutations in which cause renal Mg2+ wasting. PCLN-1 is located in tight junctions of the TAL and is related to the claudin family of tight junction proteins. These findings provide insight into Mg2+ homeostasis, demonstrate the role of a tight junction protein in human disease, and identify an essential component of a selective paracellular conductance.  (+info)

Ca(2+)-independent cell-adhesion activity of claudins, a family of integral membrane proteins localized at tight junctions. (4/444)

In multicellular organisms, various compositionally distinct fluid compartments are established by epithelial and endothelial cellular sheets. For these cells to function as barriers, tight junctions (TJs) are considered to create a primary barrier for the diffusion of solutes through the paracellular pathway [1] [2] [3]. In ultrathin sections viewed under electron microscopy, TJs appear as a series of apparent fusions, involving the outer leaflets of plasma membranes of adjacent cells, to form the so-called kissing points of TJs, where the intercellular space is completely obliterated [4]. Claudins are a family of 16 proteins whose members have been identified as major integral membrane proteins localized exclusively at TJs [5] [6] [7] [8]. It remains unclear, however, whether claudins have the cell-adhesion activity that would explain the unusual intercellular adhesion at TJs. Using mouse L-fibroblast transfectants expressing various amounts of claudin-1, -2 or -3, we found that these claudins possess Ca(2+)-independent cell-adhesion activity. Using ultrathin-section electron microscopy, we observed many kissing points of TJs between adjacent transfectants. Furthermore, the cell-adhesion activity of occludin, another integral membrane protein localized at TJs [9] [10] [11], was negligible when compared with that of claudins. Thus, claudins are responsible for TJ-specific obliteration of the intercellular space.  (+info)

Endothelial claudin: claudin-5/TMVCF constitutes tight junction strands in endothelial cells. (5/444)

Tight junctions (TJs) in endothelial cells are thought to determine vascular permeability. Recently, claudin-1 to -15 were identified as major components of TJ strands. Among these, claudin-5 (also called transmembrane protein deleted in velo-cardio-facial syndrome [TMVCF]) was expressed ubiquitously, even in organs lacking epithelial tissues, suggesting the possible involvement of this claudin species in endothelial TJs. We then obtained a claudin-6-specific polyclonal antibody and a polyclonal antibody that recognized both claudin-5/TMVCF and claudin-6. In the brain and lung, immunofluorescence microscopy with these polyclonal antibodies showed that claudin-5/TMVCF was exclusively concentrated at cell-cell borders of endothelial cells of all segments of blood vessels, but not at those of epithelial cells. Immunoreplica electron microscopy revealed that claudin-5/TMVCF was a component of TJ strands. In contrast, in the kidney, the claudin-5/TMVCF signal was restricted to endothelial cells of arteries, but was undetectable in those of veins and capillaries. In addition, in all other tissues we examined, claudin-5/TMVCF was specifically detected in endothelial cells of some segments of blood vessels, but not in epithelial cells. Furthermore, when claudin-5/TMVCF cDNA was introduced into mouse L fibroblasts, TJ strands were reconstituted that resembled those in endothelial cells in vivo, i.e., the extracellular face-associated TJs. These findings indicated that claudin-5/TMVCF is an endothelial cell-specific component of TJ strands.  (+info)

Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin fragment removes specific claudins from tight junction strands: Evidence for direct involvement of claudins in tight junction barrier. (6/444)

Claudins, comprising a multigene family, constitute tight junction (TJ) strands. Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE), a single approximately 35-kD polypeptide, was reported to specifically bind to claudin-3/RVP1 and claudin-4/CPE-R at its COOH-terminal half. We examined the effects of the COOH-terminal half fragment of CPE (C-CPE) on TJs in L transfectants expressing claudin-1 to -4 (C1L to C4L, respectively), and in MDCK I cells expressing claudin-1 and -4. C-CPE bound to claudin-3 and -4 with high affinity, but not to claudin-1 or -2. In the presence of C-CPE, reconstituted TJ strands in C3L cells gradually disintegrated and disappeared from their cell surface. In MDCK I cells incubated with C-CPE, claudin-4 was selectively removed from TJs with its concomitant degradation. At 4 h after incubation with C-CPE, TJ strands were disintegrated, and the number of TJ strands and the complexity of their network were markedly decreased. In good agreement with the time course of these morphological changes, the TJ barrier (TER and paracellular flux) of MDCK I cells was downregulated by C-CPE in a dose-dependent manner. These findings provided evidence for the direct involvement of claudins in the barrier functions of TJs.  (+info)

Manner of interaction of heterogeneous claudin species within and between tight junction strands. (7/444)

In tight junctions (TJs), TJ strands are associated laterally with those of adjacent cells to form paired strands to eliminate the extracellular space. Claudin-1 and -2, integral membrane proteins of TJs, reconstitute paired TJ strands when transfected into L fibroblasts. Claudins comprise a multigene family and more than two distinct claudins are coexpressed in single cells, raising the questions of whether heterogeneous claudins form heteromeric TJ strands and whether claudins interact between each of the paired strands in a heterophilic manner. To answer these questions, we cotransfected two of claudin-1, -2, and -3 into L cells, and detected their coconcentration at cell-cell borders as elaborate networks. Immunoreplica EM confirmed that distinct claudins were coincorporated into individual TJ strands. Next, two L transfectants singly expressing claudin-1, -2, or -3 were cocultured and we found that claudin-3 strands laterally associated with claudin-1 and -2 strands to form paired strands, whereas claudin-1 strands did not interact with claudin-2 strands. We concluded that distinct species of claudins can interact within and between TJ strands, except in some combinations. This mode of assembly of claudins could increase the diversity of the structure and functions of TJ strands.  (+info)

Direct binding of three tight junction-associated MAGUKs, ZO-1, ZO-2, and ZO-3, with the COOH termini of claudins. (8/444)

ZO-1, ZO-2, and ZO-3, which contain three PDZ domains (PDZ1 to -3), are concentrated at tight junctions (TJs) in epithelial cells. TJ strands are mainly composed of two distinct types of four-transmembrane proteins, occludin, and claudins, between which occludin was reported to directly bind to ZO-1/ZO-2/ZO-3. However, in occludin-deficient intestinal epithelial cells, ZO-1/ZO-2/ZO-3 were still recruited to TJs. We then examined the possible interactions between ZO-1/ZO-2/ZO-3 and claudins. ZO-1, ZO-2, and ZO-3 bound to the COOH-terminal YV sequence of claudin-1 to -8 through their PDZ1 domains in vitro. Then, claudin-1 or -2 was transfected into L fibroblasts, which express ZO-1 but not ZO-2 or ZO-3. Claudin-1 and -2 were concentrated at cell-cell borders in an elaborate network pattern, to which endogenous ZO-1 was recruited. When ZO-2 or ZO-3 were further transfected, both were recruited to the claudin-based networks together with endogenous ZO-1. Detailed analyses showed that ZO-2 and ZO-3 are recruited to the claudin-based networks through PDZ2 (ZO-2 or ZO-3)/PDZ2 (endogenous ZO-1) and PDZ1 (ZO-2 or ZO-3)/COOH-terminal YV (claudins) interactions. In good agreement, PDZ1 and PDZ2 domains of ZO-1/ZO-2/ZO-3 were also recruited to claudin-based TJs, when introduced into cultured epithelial cells. The possible molecular architecture of TJ plaque structures is discussed.  (+info)

Defining the Genomic and Epigenomic Plasticity of Basal and Claudin-low Breast Cancer - UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer...Defining the Genomic and Epigenomic Plasticity of Basal and Claudin-low Breast Cancer - UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer...
We hypothesize that epigenetic control of gene expression in addition to genomic amplifications, deletions and mutations between basal-like and claudin-low breast cancer is a major contributor for enrichment of the claudin-low characteristics in tumors that develop resistance to therapy. We will use two models to test our hypothesis. In vivo the C3Tag GEMM phenotypically resembles triple-negative human breast cancers by gene expression profiles, and shares genetic similarities including the acquisition of KRAS gene amplification and overexpression during tumor development. C3Tag tumors treated with inhibitors of MEK, downstream of KRAS signaling, ultimately progress through therapy. Progression was accompanied by reprogramming of tumors to signal through alternative pathways, with a transformation from basal-like to claudin-low. The in vitro model is SUM229 human breast cancer cells that maintain equilibrium between two populations: one basal-like with enhanced expression of epithelial ...

IJMS | Free Full-Text | Emerging Roles of Claudins in Human CancerIJMS | Free Full-Text | Emerging Roles of Claudins in Human Cancer
Claudins are major integral membrane proteins of tight junctions. Altered expression of several claudin proteins, in particular claudin-1, -3, -4 and -7, has been linked to the development of various cancers. Although their dysregulation in cancer suggests that claudins play a role in tumorigenesis, the exact underlying mechanism remains unclear. The involvement of claudins in tumor progression was suggested by their important role in the migration, invasion and metastasis of cancer cells in a tissue-dependent manner. Recent studies have shown that they play a role in epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), the formation of cancer stem cells or tumor-initiating cells (CSCs/TICs), and chemoresistance, suggesting that claudins are promising targets for the treatment of chemoresistant and recurrent tumors. A recently identified claudin-low breast cancer subtype that is characterized by the enrichment of EMT and stem cell-like features is significantly associated with disease recurrence, underscoring

Magiran | Metastasis inhibition by BRMS1 and miR-31 replacement therapy in claudin-low cell linesMagiran | Metastasis inhibition by BRMS1 and miR-31 replacement therapy in claudin-low cell lines
Objective(s) The growing trend of research demonstrates that dynamic expression of two metastasis repressor classes (metastasis suppressor genes and anti-metastatic miRNA) has a close relationship with tumor invasion and metastasis. Using different strategies, it was revealed that cellular levels of miR-31 and Breast cancer Metastasis Suppressor1 (BRMS1) protein, which are among the most significant modulators of metastasis, have a correlation with the cells capability for invading and metastasizing; cells containing higher levels of miR-31 or BRMS1 were less metastatic. This project was carried out to determine whether the combinations of miR-31 and BRMS1 genes are able to enhance the capability of repressing the claudin-low breast cancer cell (MDA-MB-231) invasion. Materials and Methods This study used a restoration-based approach by miR-31 mimic and optimized BRMS1 gene sequences, which were cloned into a chimeric construct and transfected to the MDA-M231cells.

Claudin 13, a member of the claudin family regulated in mouse stress induced erythropoiesisClaudin 13, a member of the claudin family regulated in mouse stress induced erythropoiesis
Mammals are able to rapidly produce red blood cells in response to stress. The molecular pathways used in this process are important in understanding responses to anaemia in multiple biological settings. Here we characterise the novel gene Claudin 13 (Cldn13), a member of the Claudin family of tight junction proteins using RNA expression, microarray and phylogenetic analysis. We present evidence that Cldn13 appears to be co-ordinately regulated as part of a stress induced erythropoiesis pathway and is a mouse-specific gene mainly expressed in tissues associated with haematopoietic function. CLDN13 phylogenetically groups with its genomic neighbour CLDN4, a conserved tight junction protein with a putative role in epithelial to mesenchymal transition, suggesting a recent duplication event. Mechanisms of mammalian stress erythropoiesis are of importance in anaemic responses and expression microarray analyses demonstrate that Cldn13 is the most abundant Claudin in spleen from mice infected with ...

Claudin - WikipediaClaudin - Wikipedia
Claudins are a family of proteins that are the most important components of the tight junctions, where they establish the paracellular barrier that controls the flow of molecules in the intercellular space between the cells of an epithelium. They have four transmembrane domains, with the N-terminus and the C-terminus in the cytoplasm. Claudins are small (20-27 kilodalton (kDa)) transmembrane proteins which are found in many organisms, ranging from nematodes to human beings, and are very similar in their structure, although this conservation is not observed on the genetic level. Claudins span the cellular membrane 4 times, with the N-terminal end and the C-terminal end both located in the cytoplasm, and two extracellular loops which show the highest degree of conservation. The first extracellular loop consists on average of 53 amino acids and the second one, being slightly smaller, of 24 amino acids. The N-terminal end is usually very short (4-10 amino acids), the C-terminal end varies in length ...

英) During epithelial morphogenesis, adherens junctions (AJs) and tight junctions (TJs) undergo dynamic reorganization, whereas epithelial polarity is transiently lost and reestablished. Although ARF6-mediated endocytic recycling of E-cadherin has been characterized and implicated in the rapid remodeling of AJs, the molecular basis for the dynamic rearrangement of TJs remains elusive. Occludin and claudins are integral membrane proteins comprising TJ strands and are thought to be responsible for establishing and maintaining epithelial polarity. Here we investigated the intracellular transport of occludin and claudins to and from the cell surface. Using cell surface biotinylation and immunofluorescence, we found that a pool of occludin was continuously endocytosed and recycled back to the cell surface in both fibroblastic baby hamster kidney cells and epithelial MTD-1A cells. Biochemical endocytosis and recycling assays revealed that a Rab13 dominant active mutant (Rab13 Q67L) inhibited the ...

Findings: hCMEC/D3 cells express claudins-3 and -12. Claudin-3 is distinctly localized to the TJ whereas claudin -12 is observed in the perinuclear region and completely absent from TJs. We show that the expression of both proteins is lost in cell passage numbers where the BBB properties are no longer fully conserved. Expression and localization of claudin-3 is not modulated by simvastatin shown to improve barrier function in vitro and also recommended for routine hCMEC/D3 culture ...

The EMT is an important mechanism for the development of multicellular organisms, by which, for example, the mesoderm and neural crest are generated (Hay, 1995). Thus, a detailed description of EMT in molecular terms is an important issue in developmental and cellular biology. However, EMT occurs in spatially restricted regions in a transient manner during embryogenesis, which has made it technically difficult to examine EMT at the molecular level. Set against this situation, forward genetics in Drosophila has brought a breakthrough: Snail, a transcription factor, plays a key role in triggering EMT (Grau et al., 1984; Nusslein-Volhard et al., 1984; Alberga et al., 1991). Now, we can induce EMT in cultured epithelial cells simply by exogenously expressing Snail (Cano et al., 2000; Batlle et al., 2000). This in vitro system prompted a direct investigation into two questions. First, what types of signaling events upregulate the Snail expression to trigger EMT in a spatially and temporally regulated ...

Familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis is an autosomal recessive tubular disorder characterized by excessive renal magnesium and calcium excretion and chronic kidney failure. This rare disease is caused by mutations in the CLDN16 and CLDN19 genes. These genes encode the tight junction proteins claudin-16 and claudin-19, respectively, which regulate the paracellular ion reabsortion in the kidney. Patients with mutations in the CLDN19 gene also present severe visual impairment. Our goals in this study were to examine the clinical characteristics of a large cohort of Spanish patients with this disorder and to identify the disease causing mutations. We included a total of 31 patients belonging to 27 unrelated families and studied renal and ocular manifestations. We then analyzed by direct DNA sequencing the coding regions of CLDN16 and CLDN19 genes in these patients. Bioinformatic tools were used to predict the consequences of mutations. Clinical evaluation showed ocular defects in

The Biology of Claudin 6 (Cldn6) in the Developing Mouse Lung by Felix Ruben Jimenez RondanThe Biology of Claudin 6 (Cldn6) in the Developing Mouse Lung by Felix Ruben Jimenez Rondan
The tight junctions (TJ), which are located in the apical region between epithelial and endothelial cells, regulate the paracellular diffusion of ions and small molecules and play an important role in maintaining cell polarity, cell-cell integrity, and permeability. In the lung, epithelial cells are attached by TJ structures. They provide a permeable barrier and cell communication. The loss of barrier integrity, which is maintained by the expression of claudins (Cldn), results in cellular permibilization and leads to paracellular diffusion of solutes and harmful molecules. There are 27 known Cldn homologous members in mice and human. Cldn6 is mostly expressed in embryonic stem cells and associated with the programing of epithelial cells during embryo development and lung morphogenesis. In order to test the hypothesis that Cldn6 expression affects lung morphogenesis, we analyzed the expression pattern of Cldn6 during lung ontogenesis to examine cell-specific expression pattern of Cldn6 during each

Epithelial and endothelial cells form the external lining of outer and inner body surfaces and blood vessels of multicellular organisms. Thus, they create separate compartments each exhibiting an environment optimally adjusted to their respective function. To build up such compartments epithelial and endothelial cells have to restrict the paracellular diffusion of substances. The paracellular cleft is sealed by tight junctions (TJ). In electron microscopical images TJs appear as a network of intermembranous strands in the apical region of the lateral cell membrane of epithelial and endothelial cells. Claudins (Cld) form the structural backbone of TJs. The present study provided evidence for the first time that single amino acids of the second extracellular loop (ECL) of a claudin are essential for the paracellular tightness of epithelial cells. The effect of single amino acid substitutions of the second ECL of Cld5 were studied in cells expressing various other endogenous claudins except Cld5. ...

Barriers and Channels Formed by Tight Junction Proteins I, Volume 1257 | WileyBarriers and Channels Formed by Tight Junction Proteins I, Volume 1257 | Wiley
Tight junctions between epithelial and endothelial cells form selective barriers and paracellular channels and regulate paracellular transport of solutes, immune cells, and drugs. More specifically, tight junctions consist of proteins that laterally interconnect neighboring cells of epithelia and endothelia. Certain proteins seal the tight junction, so that a nearly impermeable barrier develops, whereas others form channels that allow for permeation between the cells. Recent investigations have focused on tight junction proteins, belonging to the claudin family (claudins-1 to -27 in humans) and the newly defined group of TAMP (three proteins: occludin, Marvel-D2, and tricellulin). Barriers and Channels Formed by Tight Junction Proteins I showcases work in this area clustered around three major themes: the molecular properties of tight junctions, for example, the role of the claudin family of proteins and the formation of ion and charge-selective channels; the regulation of tight junction

In contrast to most other tubular disorders, children affected by FHHNC are at high risk to develop progressive renal failure. Approximately one third of the patients reach ESRD already during adolescence, requiring renal replacement therapy. The pathogenesis of chronic renal failure in FHHNC still remains a matter of debate. The progressive tubulointerstitial nephropathy in FHHNC has been attributed to the concomitant hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis; however, other authors have questioned this explanation because many other disease states associated with early-onset nephrocalcinosis are not followed by a severe deterioration of renal function.25,26 All patients with FHHNC are affected by marked medullary nephrocalcinosis, but their degree of renal insufficiency is varying to a great extent. The reason for this variation has been unknown. No obvious genotype/phenotype correlation could be established in the patient cohorts that had first been analyzed for CLDN16 mutations2,9; however, the ...

CLDN16 gene - Genetics Home Reference - NIHCLDN16 gene - Genetics Home Reference - NIH
From NCBI Gene:. Tight junctions represent one mode of cell-to-cell adhesion in epithelial or endothelial cell sheets, forming continuous seals around cells and serving as a physical barrier to prevent solutes and water from passing freely through the paracellular space. These junctions are comprised of sets of continuous networking strands in the outwardly facing cytoplasmic leaflet, with complementary grooves in the inwardly facing extracytoplasmic leaflet. The protein encoded by this gene, a member of the claudin family, is an integral membrane protein and a component of tight junction strands. It is found primarily in the kidneys, specifically in the thick ascending limb of Henle, where it acts as either an intercellular pore or ion concentration sensor to regulate the paracellular resorption of magnesium ions. Defects in this gene are a cause of primary hypomagnesemia, which is characterized by massive renal magnesium wasting with hypomagnesemia and hypercalciuria, resulting in ...

ZO-1, ZO-2, and ZO-3, which contain three PDZ domains (PDZ1 to -3), are concentrated at tight junctions (TJs) in epithelial cells. TJ strands are mainly composed of two distinct types of four-transmembrane proteins, occludin, and claudins, between which occludin was reported to directly bind to ZO-1/ZO-2/ZO-3. However, in occludin-deficient intestinal epithelial cells, ZO-1/ZO-2/ZO-3 were still recruited to TJs. We then examined the possible interactions between ZO-1/ZO-2/ZO-3 and claudins. ZO-1, ZO-2, and ZO-3 bound to the COOH-terminal YV sequence of claudin-1 to -8 through their PDZ1 domains in vitro. Then, claudin-1 or -2 was transfected into L fibroblasts, which express ZO-1 but not ZO-2 or ZO-3. Claudin-1 and -2 were concentrated at cell-cell borders in an elaborate network pattern, to which endogenous ZO-1 was recruited. When ZO-2 or ZO-3 were further transfected, both were recruited to the claudin-based networks together with endogenous ZO-1. Detailed analyses showed that ZO-2 and ZO-3 ...

0011]The tight junctions form a selective barrier regulating the passage of ions and molecules through paracellular space. Under electron microscopy, it is noted that the tight junctions form a series of fusion points between the outer leaflets of the plasma membranes of two adjacent cells. These membrane contact zones appear, by freeze fracture, in the form of a continuous network that surrounds the apex of each cell. This network is constituted by membrane protein polymers, the claudins and occludin which are themselves connected to cytoplasmic proteins among which in particular the zonula occludens proteins (ZO-1 to 3) are to be found. Occludin, the claudins as well as the ZO-1s are often the target for bacterial toxins, leading to an alteration in the organisation and the function of the tight junctions (Coraux et al., Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol 2004, 5:605-612 ...

Background: Metaplastic breast cancer (BC) is a treatment-refractory rare type of BC with characteristics similar to claudin-low tumors. Understanding the genomic landscape of metaplastic BC can lead to identification of new therapies.. Methods: Patients with metastatic metaplastic BC referred for experimental therapies, who had adequate archival tumor tissue for DNA extraction, had targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) for 3,769 exons of 236 cancer-related genes and 47 introns from 19 genes to an average depth of 1000X using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform (Foundation One, Foundation Medicine, MA).. Results: NGS results were obtained for 10 women with metaplastic BC (median age 60 years [39-73], median prior therapies for metastatic BC 0 [0-1]). NGS revealed a total of 41 aberrations in 25 genes and all 10 patients had at least 1 molecular aberration (range 1-7, median 4).

BACKGROUND: The Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cell line and its different strains are widely used as models for studying epithelial simple polarity. Recently Dukes et al. [BMC Cell Biology 12:43, 2011] provided a useful guide to the different MDCK strains, with a directory of where to buy them. The present work focused on chromosome content of MDCK cells, a parameter often disregarded by researchers working with these cells. FINDINGS: Using a general and reliable method for obtaining high yield of metaphasic preparations, the chromosome content of MDCK, MDCK I, MDCK II obtained from reliable sources was determined after maintaining them in culture for various periods of time. Within two months significant changes were observed in the range and the mean number of chromosomes of MDCK I and MDCK II cells. MDCK II cells routinely cultured in six different laboratories were also examined. In some of these cultures the cells have considerably drifted as shown by a high scattering in their number of

Epithelial tubes of the correct size and shape are vital for the function of the lungs, kidneys, and vascular system, yet little is known about epithelial tube size regulation. Mutations in the Drosophila gene sinuous have previously been shown to cause tracheal tubes to be elongated and have diameter increases. Our genetic analysis using a sinuous null mutation suggests that sinuous functions in the same pathway as the septate junction genes neurexin and scribble , but that nervana 2 , convoluted , varicose , and cystic have functions not shared by sinuous . Our molecular analyses reveal that sinuous encodes a claudin that localizes to septate junctions and is required for septate junction organization and paracellular barrier function. These results provide important evidence that the paracellular barriers formed by arthropod septate junctions and vertebrate tight junctions have a common molecular basis despite their otherwise different molecular compositions, morphologies, and subcellular ...

Sixty mutations of claudin 16 coding gene have been reported in familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis (FHHNC) patients. Recent investigations revealed that a highly conserved glycine-leucine-tryptophan (115G-L-W117) motif in the first extracellular segment (ESC1) of claudin 16 might be essential for stabilization of the appropriately folded ECS1 structure and conservation of normal claudin 16 function. However, neither missense nor nonsense mutation has ever been described in this motif. Our study aimed at identifying mutations in a Chinese patient with FHHNC and exploring the association between genotype and phenotype. A 33-year-old female presented with 4 years history of recurrent acute pyelonephritis without other notable past medical history. Her healthy parents, who aged 56 and 53 respectively, were second cousins, and her only sibling died from renal failure without definite cause at age 25.

To examine the response of the tight junction to hyperosmotic solutions, Ⅰinvestigated the effects of hyperosmotic glycerol on function and protein expression of the tight junction in ECV304 cells. Cell cytotoxicity analysis showed that the high (10%) concentration of glcerol damaged 64.1% of the ECV304 cells (p＜0.001), and this was confirmed morphologically. Treatment with 1%, 2% or 5% glyserol increased the paracellular permeability of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) -labeled dextran by 4.7%, 18.7% and 29.4% (p＜0.05), respectively. In addition, exposure to glycerol at any concentration strongly reduced the expression of occludin, whereas enpression of claudin-1 was affected very slightly. These results suggest that hyperosmotic glycerol would certainly ...

The ability to invade host tissues and metastasize is the major cause of cancer-related death. During tumor invasion, metastasizing cells disrupt normal cell-matrix adhesion and acquire an invasive phenotype. Claudins are adhesion proteins localized at tight junctions (TJs). Claudin-7 is a unique TJ membrane protein in that it has a stronger basolateral membrane distribution than that of apical TJs in epithelial cells. To study the basolateral function of claudin-7, claudin-7 gene silencing experiments were carried out in a lung cancer cell line using the lentivirus shRNA approach. We found that claudin-7 knockdown (KD) cells showed disrupted cell-matrix interactions. Consequently, when claudin-7 KD cells were plated on the uncoated glass surface, they were unable to attach to the glass and died the day after plating. In contrast, control cells adhered well and grew normally. Using immunofluorescent microscopy and biochemistry methods, we found that claudin-7 co-localized and ...

Tight junctions consist of a branching network of sealing strands of protein. Each strand is assembled from a series of transmembrane proteins(JAMs/Junctional Adhesion Molecules,Claudins and Occludin) embedded in plasma membranes. The extracellular domains join each other in tight junctions,whereas the intracellular domains are linked to peripheral membrane proteins,linking the transmembrane protein strands to actin cytoskeleton to create a functional network that plays a role in cellular processes. Each strand functions as an individual or linear barrie, therefore, the number of transmembrane protein strands is in relation with the degree of paracellular electrical resistance and impedance to solute flux in tight junctions[1]. Although other types of proteins are present at tight junctions, however, occludin and claudin are the major ones contributing to the structure of tight junctions. ...

Blood brain barrier: Fluid TransferBlood brain barrier: Fluid Transfer
The blood brain barrier (BBB) is a specialized barrier that renders the environment of the central nervous system (CNS) separate from other compartments of the body. The unique environment provided by the BBB enables the specialized activity of neurons; BBB breakdown is the result of pathologic conditions and leads to further neuronal dysfunction. The unique requirements of the CNS require the BBB to limit the free exchange of some solutes that would be freely exchanged through other anatomic compartments. The restriction of solute transport limits how fluids can transfer across the BBB.. The BBB is formed by endothelial cells that line cerebral micro vessels. 1 It restricts the entry of many substances dissolved in blood because of specialized tight junctions (TJ) between adjacent endothelial cells. BBB TJ are maintained by the interaction of specialized cytoskeleton and linking proteins not expressed in other endothelium, examples include : Claudins, occludins, and junctional adhesion ...

  • The major TJ proteins are the transmembrane proteins claudins, occludin, and junctional adhesion molecules (JAMs) [ 21 - 23 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • TJs lay in the apical domain of epithelial cells and are mainly composed by transmembrane proteins such as occludin, claudins, JAMs, and tricellulin, that are associated with the cytoplasmic plaque formed by proteins from the MAGUK family, such as ZO-1/2/3, connecting TJ to the actin cytoskeleton, and cingulin and paracingulin connecting TJ to the microtubule network. (frontiersin.org)
  • Yu, Alan 2007-05-22 00:00:00 Claudins are transmembrane proteins of the tight junction that determine and regulate paracellular ion permeability. (deepdyve.com)
Occludin10
  • Much to our surprise, however, we have now also discovered several major TJ proteins (claudins 1 and 4, occludin, cingulin, symplekin, protein ZO-1) and TJ-related structures in specific positions of formations of epithelium-derived tissues that lack any lumen and do not border on luminal or body surfaces. (nih.gov)
  • Claudins and occludin are integral membrane proteins localized at tight junctions, which are responsible for establishing and maintaining epithelial cell polarity. (biologists.org)
  • We examined the relationship between Snail and the promoter activity of claudins and occludin. (biologists.org)
  • When Snail was overexpressed in cultured mouse epithelial cells, EMT was induced with concomitant repression of the expression of claudins and occludin not only at the protein but also at the mRNA level. (biologists.org)
  • We then isolated the promoters of genes encoding claudins and occludin, in which multiple E-boxes were identified. (biologists.org)
  • Because the gene encoding E-cadherin was also reported to be repressed by Snail, we concluded that EMT was associated with the simultaneous repression of the genes encoding E-cadherin and claudins/occludin (i.e. the expression of adherens and tight junction adhesion molecules, respectively). (biologists.org)
  • Both occludin and claudins bear four transmembrane domains but do not show any sequence similarity with each other. (biologists.org)
  • Interestingly, other TJ components such as occludin, JAM and ZO-1 appeared to be dissociated from claudins before this endocytosis. (elsevier.com)
  • Recent investigations have focused on tight junction proteins, belonging to the claudin family (claudins-1 to -27 in humans) and the newly defined group of TAMP (three proteins: occludin, Marvel-D2, and tricellulin). (wiley.com)

  • The main components of tight junctions are claudins, occludins, and junctional adhesion molecules (JAMs). (thermofisher.com)
Epithelial cells4
  • To elucidate a potential function for claudins outside of their traditional role in tight junctions, subcellular localization of claudin-4 was determined in normal mammary epithelial cells as well as breast and ovarian cancer cell lines and the effects of a claudin mimic peptide on cell motility were determined. (biomedcentral.com)
  • These findings suggest that this peculiar internalization of claudins plays a crucial role in the remodeling of TJs, and that the fine regulation of this endocytosis is important for TJs to seal the intercellular space of epithelial cells that are moving against adjacent cells within cellular sheets. (elsevier.com)

  • Effect of claudins 6 and 9 on paracellular permeability in MDC. (mysciencework.com)
  • Expression of claudins 6 and 9 resulted in an increased transepithelial resistance, decreased chloride permeability, and decreased P(Na)/P(Cl) and P(HCO3)/P(Cl). (mysciencework.com)
  • These findings constitute the first characterization of the permeability characteristics of claudins 6 and 9 in a cell model and may explain why the neonatal proximal tubule has lower permeability to chloride and higher resistance than the adult proximal tubule. (mysciencework.com)
  • The C-terminal region of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (C-CPE) can bind to specific claudins, resulting in the disintegration of tight junctions (TJs) and an increase in the paracellular permeability across epithelial cell sheets. (rcsb.org)
  • Claudins are major determinants of TJ permeability. (bireme.br)
  • Claudin-4 was the first claudin whose involvement in the TJ permeability in cultured cells was directly demonstrated, but the permeability properties of individual claudins including claudin-4 are still incompletely clarified. (bireme.br)

  • Among differences in the gut are a crypt-to-villus decrease in claudin 2, a highly restricted expression of claudin 4 to colonic surface cells, and the finding that some claudins can be junctional, lateral, or show a gradient in junctional vs. lateral localization along the crypt-to-villus surface axis. (nih.gov)
  • The aim of the present study was to establish the protein expression and localization pattern of the other brain endothelial specific claudins-3 and -12 in the hCMEC/D3 cell line. (biomedcentral.com)

  • Claudins are the largest and most important protein family within the TJ. (hu-berlin.de)
Tumor progression3
  • The involvement of claudins in tumor progression was suggested by their important role in the migration, invasion and metastasis of cancer cells in a tissue-dependent manner. (mdpi.com)
