Abstract

AFTPH overexpression reduced permeability (p<0.05). Conclusions: Our results indicate that gene silencing of AFTPH in human colonocytes increased epithelial permeability, possibly by regulating expression and localization of genes related to epithelial cell adhesion signaling. These are the first results suggesting that AFTPH may be a new gene regulating intestinal epithelial permeability. Acknowledgement: UCLA Vector Core and UCLA Clinical Microarray Core.
