Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with changes of enterocytic junctions

Abstract excerpt

Changes of the intestinal mucosal barrier are considered to play a role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Our experiments were designed to identify dysregulation of epithelial junctional molecules in the IBD intestinum and to address whether altered expression of these molecules is a primary event in IBD or a phenomenon secondary to the inflammatory process. Noninflamed and inactively and...
