lüll Vascular permeability in ocular disease and the role of tight junctions Erickson KK; Sundstrom JM; Antonetti DAAngiogenesis 2007[]; 10 (2): 103-17Vascular permeability is closely linked with angiogenesis in a number of pathologies. In the retina, the normally well-developed blood-retinal barrier is altered in a host of eye diseases preceding or commensurate with angiogenesis. This review examines the literature regarding the tight junction complex that establishes the blood-retinal barrier focusing on the transmembrane proteins occludin and the claudin family and the membrane associated protein zonula occludens. The changes observed in these proteins associated with vascular and epithelial permeability is discussed. Finally, novel literature addressing the link between the tight junction complex and angiogenesis is considered.|Aging[MESH]|Capillary Permeability/*physiology[MESH]|Endothelium, Vascular/physiology[MESH]|Eye Diseases/*physiopathology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|MARVEL Domain Containing 2 Protein[MESH]|Macular Degeneration/physiopathology[MESH]|Membrane Proteins/physiology[MESH]|Neovascularization, Physiologic[MESH]|Occludin[MESH]|Retina/physiology[MESH]|Retinal Artery/physiology/physiopathology[MESH]|Retinal Diseases/*physiopathology[MESH]|Tight Junctions/*physiology[MESH] |
