1. 1. Investigation on Cell-Cell Junctions by Inhibition of Na,K-ATPase Activity

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

   Author : Caroline Boström; [2021]
   Keywords : NaK-ATPase; Ouabain; Cell junctions; ECadherin; Occludin; Claudin7; Western Blot; Fluorescent Imaging; Tight junctions; Adherens Junctions; Immunocytochemistry; Ouabain; NaK-ATPase; ECadherin; Occludin; Claudin7; Western Blot; Immunocytokemi; Cellkontakter; Fluorescernsmikroskopi;

   Abstract : This thesis report investigates the effect on cellcell junction proteins when the Na,K-ATPase (NKA) is inhibited. The main goal is to develop an understanding of how the NKA activity regulates the cell junction proteins. The investigated proteins are the adherens junction protein ECadherin, and the tight junction proteins Occludin and Claudin7. READ MORE

4. 3. Obesogenic molecules breaching Caco-2 cells : intracellular regulation of tight junctions

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Tim Hagelby Edström; [2016]
   Keywords : Obesogens; Bisphenol A; Bisphenol AF; Imidacloprid; Tributyltin chloride; Caco-2; Tight junctions;

   Abstract : Impaired function of the human intestinal epithelial barrier (IEB) might allow for permeability of harmful substances, such as obesogens, which induce obesity and further implications. Tight junction (TJ) proteins are the key component for normal functions of the barrier. READ MORE
