For example, binding of zo-1 to the COOH-terminal cytoplasmic tail of occludin plays a role in maintaining the tight junction and also cytoskeletal tethering [48], whereas previous studies describe the association of occludin/zo-1 as dependent upon both tyrosine phosphatase signaling and also protein kinase C [49]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Immunoprecipitation of occludin followed by western blotting for zo-1 revealed that coculture of EC with 10T1/2 cells led to an increased association between occludin and zo-1 in EC, which was significantly reduced by TGF-? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In concordance with these observations in vivo, coculture of ECs and 10T1/2 cells led to enhanced EC barrier function, and the addition of the ALK5 inhibitor reversed this effect and reduced coculture-induced association between occludin and zo-1. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Changes in occludin/zo-1 co-association were monitored by immunoprecipitation, performed as previously described [53] with minor modifications. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Fundus angiography and Evans blue permeability assay revealed a breakdown of the blood-retinal-barrier that was characterized by decreased association between the tight junction proteins zo-1 and occludin. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
This molecule constitutes the structural link between the cytoskeleton and the tight junction by binding to both actin filaments and the TJ protein occludin [6]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Exposure to PCB118 and PCB153 modulated expressional levels of claudin-5 and ZO-1, whereas PCB126 appeared to primarily influence the coassociation of occludin and ZO-1. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The enhanced interaction between ZO-1 and occludin appeared to be most pronounced in cerebral microvessels of PCB126-treated animals, followed by the PCB153 treatment group.
