:
Since the claudin family of tight junction proteins is proposed to be involved in barrier maintenance we studied the effect of IFN-gamma on claudin expression in relation to epithelial barrier function
Watson et al., J Pathol 2007
(Psoriasis) :
We examined further whether exposure of keratinocytes in vitro to pro-inflammatory cytokines mimicked the observed changes in claudin expression seen in chronic plaque psoriasis ; lipopolysaccharide, interferon-gamma and tumour necrosis factor-alpha had no effect on claudin protein expression or distribution

Opposing regulation of the tight junction protein claudin-2 by interferon-gamma and interleukin-4
