Claudin-12 deficiency causes nerve barrier breakdown, mechanical hypersensitivity and painfulness in polyneuropathy

2019-09-14

Abstract excerpt

Peripheral nerves and their axons are shielded by the blood-nerve and the myelin barrier, but understanding of how these barriers impact nociception is limited. Here, we identified a regulatory axis of the tight junction protein claudin-12, sex-dependently controlling perineurial and myelin barrier integrity. In nerve biopsies, claudin-12 in Schwann cells was lost in male and postmenopausal female patients with pa...
