We hypothesized that expression of tight junction protein ZO-1 and occludin, responsible for intestinal architectural and functional integrity, will decrease following TBI and increase intestinal permeability. | |||||||||||||||

|
Expression of ZO-1 was decreased by 49% relative to sham animals (p < 0.02), whereas expression of occludin was decreased by 73% relative to sham animals (p < 0.001). | |||||||||||||||

|
An increase in intestinal permeability corresponds with decreased expression of tight junction proteins ZO-1 and occludin following TBI. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In addition, we found that expression levels of claudins and occludin strongly declined in control mice after P18 (Fig. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
EGF also induced their expression under these conditions (unpublished data), but it can obviously not compensate for the loss of FGF receptors because expression of claudin 1, claudin 3, and occludin was reduced in keratinocytes of K5-R1/R2 mice, which were cultured in the presence of EGF (Fig. 9 B). | |||||||||||||||

|
In contrast, expression of several claudins and of occludin was much lower in the epidermis and in cultured keratinocytes of K5-R1/R2 mice. | |||||||||||||||
