Changes in expression and distribution of claudin 2, 5 and 8 lead to discontinuous tight junctions and barrier dysfunction in active Crohn’s disease

TL;DR: Upregulation of pore-forming claudin 2 and downregulation and redistribution of sealing claudins 5 and 8 lead to altered tight junction structure and pronounced barrier dysfunction already in mild to moderately active Crohn’s disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epithelial Tight Junctions in Intestinal Inflammation

TL;DR: Immune regulation of epithelial functions by cytokines may cause barrier dysfunction not only by tight junction impairments but also by apoptotic leaks, transcytotic mechanisms, and mucosal gross lesions.

Tricellulin Forms a Barrier to Macromolecules in Tricellular Tight Junctions without Affecting Ion Permeability

TL;DR: In conclusion, at low tricellulin expression the tTJ central tube forms a pathway for macromolecules and in bTJs for solutes of all sizes, and at higher expression, tricesllulin forms a barrier in tTJs effective only for Macromolecule and in tJ for solute of all size.
