    Applications
    CLDN4, also known as Claudin-4, has various applications in different fields. In the field of lung development and injury repair, CLDN4 is shown to restrict alveolar type 2 (AT2) cell plasticity, which has implications in lung regeneration and cancer. In the context of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection, CLDN4 is downregulated by a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) called LOC103222771, which promotes PRRSV infection in cells. CLDN4 is also involved in the regulation of paracellular permeability of amino acids (AAs) in the intestine, and its expression is reduced with aging, leading to an increase in paracellular leakage of AAs. Additionally, CLDN4 is part of a complex network of claudins that regulate epithelial barrier function in the gastrointestinal tract. Finally, a strain of Lactobacillus plantarum called HY7718, which has superior storage stability, has been found to restore the expression of CLDN4 and other tight junction proteins, suggesting its potential as a probiotic for intestinal health.

    Research Highlights

    Wang, Xinxian. et al. "Long non-coding RNA LOC103222771 promotes infection of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in Marc-145 cells by downregulating Claudin-4." Veterinary microbiology, 2023.
    Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is caused by a viral infection (PRRSV) and has significant economic impact on the swine industry. Effective control of PRRS is challenging and requires a deeper understanding of the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as key regulators of viral infections and immune responses. A study using Marc-145 cells and porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) found that PRRSV infection increased the expression of lncRNA LOC103222771 which is primarily located in the cytoplasm. Inhibition of LOC103222771 resulted in decreased PRRSV infection in Marc-145 cells. Further analysis identified an interaction between LOC103222771 and Claudin-4 (CLDN4), an important component of tight junctions that regulate movement of molecules between cells. Downregulation of CLDN4 was also found to enhance PRRSV infection. These results suggest that the LOC103222771/CLDN4 axis may be a novel mechanism involved in PRRSV pathogenesis and could be a potential therapeutic target for controlling PRRSV infection.

    Okamoto, Ema. et al. "Increase in paracellular leakage of amino acids mediated by aging-induced reduction of claudin-4 expression." The Journal of nutrition, 2023.
    The role of Claudins (CLDNs), which serve as major components of tight junctions, is to regulate the paracellular permeabilities of mineral ions and wastes. Intestinal epithelial cells are responsible for controlling the absorption of nutrients such as glucose and amino acids (AAs). Despite their importance, the exact function of CLDNs is still not completely understood.
