Abstract
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been shown to enhance paracellular and transcellular Ca transport across human intestinal-like Caco-2 cell monolayers. The mechanisms of action, however, are still unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying CLA-induced stimulation of Ca transport by use of preliminary microarray data together with more detailed and comprehensive quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR analysis. While molecular expression of junctional adhesion molecule (JAM), ZO-2, ZO-3, claudin 2 and claudin 3 were unaltered, ZO-1, occludin, and claudin 4 were all up-regulated (1.6, 1.6, 2.4-fold, respectively; P
