Autophagy Increases Occludin Levels to Enhance Intestinal Paracellular Tight Junction Barrier
2022-04-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background and Aim</h4> Functional loss of paracellular tight junction (TJ) barrier of the gut epithelium and mutations in autophagy genes are factors potentiating inflammatory bowel disease ( IBD ). Previously we showed the role of autophagy in enhancing the TJ barrier via claudin-2 degradation, however, its role in the regulation of the barrier-forming protein occludin remains unknown. Here, we investigate...
