Vitamin D Receptor Upregulates Tight Junction Protein Claudin-5 against Tumorigenesis

2021-04-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background/Objective</h4> Tight junctions (TJs) are essential for barrier integrity, inflammation, and cancer. The TJ protein Claudin-5 in the epithelia forms paracellular barriers and pores for permeability. Vitamin D and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) play important roles in various cancers. Although VDR and Claudin-5 are all involved in colorectal cancer (CRC), it remains unclear if they are closely related...
