The interplay between the epithelial permeability barrier, cell migration and mitochondrial metabolism of growth factors and their inhibitors in a human endometrial carcinoma cell line
Tissue barriers ·doi:10.1080/21688370.2024.2304443

It is known that there are abnormalities of tight junction functions, cell migration and mitochondrial metabolism in human endometriosis and endometrial carcinoma. In this study, we investigated the effects of growth factors and their inhib…

The Roles of Tricellular Tight Junction Protein Angulin-1/Lipolysis-Stimulated Lipoprotein Receptor (LSR) in Endometriosis and Endometrioid-Endometrial Carcinoma
Cancers ·doi:10.3390/cancers13246341

Tight junction proteins play roles beyond permeability barriers functions and control cell proliferation and differentiation. The relation between tight junctions and the signal transduction pathways affects cell growth, invasion and migrat…

Possibility of Targeting Claudin-2 in Therapy for Human Endometrioid Endometrial Carcinoma
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1007/s43032-020-00230-6

Claudin-2 (CLDN-2) is a leaky-type tight junction protein, and its overexpression increases tumorigenesis of some types of cancer cells. In the present study, to examine the possibility of targeting CLDN-2 in the therapy for endometrioid en…
