Background and objective
Adherens junctions (AJs) and tight junctions (TJs) are known to play a crucial role in maintaining the physical barrier function of the epithelium. Here, we aimed to characterize the distribution of AJs and TJs throughout the gingival epithelium and to obtain insights into the physiological importance of these junctional structures.
Methods

Interleukin‐24 is a pleiotropic immunoregulatory cytokine and a member of the IL‐20R subfamily of the IL‐10 family. The aim of this study was to investigate the regulation of IL‐24 in the human oral keratinocyte cell line HOK‐16B following infection with Tannerella forsythia, a major periodontal pathogen. T. forsythia induced the expression of IL‐24 mRNA and the secretion of glycosylated IL‐24 in...
