The TJ is a highly dynamic rate-limiting barrier for passive transepithelial solute flow. It is not only physiologically regulated but is modulated in various disease states as well. Such modulations occur as a result of epithelial cell interactions with immune cells or immune cell products and thus epithelial barrier function appears to be regulated in disease states.
紧密连接(TJ)是被动跨上皮溶质流动的高度动态限速屏障。它不仅受到生理调节,在各种疾病状态下也会被调节。这种调节是上皮细胞与免疫细胞或免疫细胞产物相互作用的结果,因此上皮屏障功能在疾病状态下似乎受到调节。
