Occludin Deficiency Promotes Ethanol-Induced Disruption of Colonic Epithelial Junctions, Gut Barrier Dysfunction and Liver Damage in Mice

BACKGROUND: Disruption of epithelial tight junctions (TJ), gut barrier dysfunction and endotoxemia play crucial role in the pathogenesis of alcoholic tissue injury. Occludin, a transmembrane protein of TJ, is depleted in colon by alcohol. However, it is unknown whether occludin depletion influences...
