General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function sinonasal epithelial exposure to house dust mite antigen enzyme Der p 1 decreases expression of tight junction proteins, representing a potential mechanism for increased permeability and presentation of antigens across the sinonasal epithelial layer. Enzyme Der p 1-exposed human sinonasal cells show a marked decrease in transepithelial resistance when compared to control cells, with decreased expression of tight junction proteins claudin-1 and junction adhesion molecule-A (JAM-A). Epithelial permeability is highly dependent upon the integrity of tight junctions, cell-cell adhesion complexes located at the apical aspect of the lateral membrane of polarized epithelial cells.
