| Research Abstract |
The tight junction is one of the characteristic structures in epithelial cells, from which cancer is derived, and works as a barrier to restrict the free diffusion of solutes through the intercellular space. In this study, we investigated the molecular structure and function of tight junctions. We found that the artificial modification of the barrier property of tight junctions accelerates growth of intestinal epithelial cells and results in enlargement of the intestine. We also clarified for the first time the molecular constituents of tricellular contacts.
