Abstract

Inflammatory bowel diseases are characterised by inflammation that compromises the integrity of the epithelial barrier. The intestinal epithelium is not only a static barrier but has evolved complex mechanisms to control and regulate bacterial interactions with the mucosal surface. Apical tight junction proteins are critical in the maintenance of epithelial barrier function and control of paracellular permeability. The characterisation of alterations in tight junction proteins as key players in epithelial barrier function in inflammatory bowel diseases is rapidly enhancing our understanding of critical mechanisms in disease pathogenesis as well as novel therapeutic opportunities. Here we give an overview of recent literature focusing on the role of tight junction proteins, in particular claudins, in inflammatory bowel diseases and inflammatory bowel disease associated colorectal cancer.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Dysregulated expression of sealing claudins and increased intestinal permeability contributes to a leaky epithelial barrier and may lead to intestinal infection and bowel symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease patients.

    “Dysregulated expression of sealing claudins and increased intestinal permeability contributes to a leaky epithelial barrier and may lead to intestinal infection and bowel symptoms of IBD patients [178,189].”

    From Insights of Endocytosis Signaling in Health and Disease (2023) · cites this paper as [189]

  • Inflammatory bowel disease patients have an increased ability to transcytosis of luminal antigens.

    “The endocytosis of TJs and AJs happens similar to the internalization of luminal antigens into the enterocytes, and IBD patients have an increased ability to transcytosis of luminal antigens [189].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
