摘要: Coeliac disease is a chronic enteropathy caused by the ingestion of wheat gliadin and other cereal prolamines derived from rye barley. In present work, we investigated mechanisms underlying altered barrier function properties exerted gliadin-derived peptides in human Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells. We demonstrate that alters almost immediately decreasing transepithelial resistance increasing permeability to small molecules (4 kDa). Gliadin reorganisation actin filaments expression tight junction proteins occludin, claudin-3 claudin-4, TJ-associated protein ZO-1 adherens E-cadherin.
