Psychiatry related information on CLDN4

 

High impact information on CLDN4

  • To test whether members of the claudin family of tight junction proteins influence paracellular ionic selectivity, we expressed human claudin-4 in cultured MDCK cells using an inducible promoter [7].
  • A decrease in conductance correlated directly with the kinetics of claudin-4 induction [7].
  • Epithelial resistance was diminished from 44 +/- 3 to 29 +/- 2 Omega x cm(2), and this was accompanied by a decrease in occludin and claudin-4 expression [8].
  • Using expression profiling, we previously found claudin-4 to be overexpressed in pancreatic cancer [9].
  • RESULTS: Expression analyses showed that claudin-4 was overexpressed in most pancreatic cancer tissues and cell lines and several other gastrointestinal tumors [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of CLDN4

  • The expression of E-cadherin, claudin 4, and ZO-1 was analyzed immuno-histochemically using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues obtained from 49 patients who underwent radical resection for advanced gastric cancer [10].
  • Statistical analyses showed that the beta8 integrin subunit, claudin-4, and S100A1 provided the best distinction between ovarian carcinoma and normal ovary tissues, and may serve as the best candidate tumor markers among the seven genes studied [11].
 

Biological context of CLDN4

 

Anatomical context of CLDN4

  • CONCLUSIONS: These results show that CLDN3 and CLDN4 are frequently up-regulated in ovarian tumors and cell lines and may represent novel markers for this disease [4].
  • However, CLDN4 was highly positive in normal epithelial cells and was decreased or absent in 17 out of 21 ductal carcinoma grade 1, in special types of breast carcinoma (mucinous, papillary, tubular) and in areas of apocrine metaplasia [3].
  • The observations of lack of claudin 4 and low expression of claudin 3 in OSE strengthen our current knowledge about the biological nature of these cells as an undeveloped epithelium [5].
  • Northern blot analysis of CPETR1 demonstrates tissue specificity, with expression in kidney, lung, thyroid, and gastrointestinal tissues [12].
  • Human and mouse cDNAs showing homology to the Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) receptor gene (CPE-R) from Vero cells (DDBJ/EMBL/GenBankTM accession no. D88492) (Katahira, J., Inoue, N., Horiguchi, Y., Matsuda, M., and Sugimoto, N. (1997) J. Cell Biol. 136, 1239-1247) were cloned [13].
