“…While the roles for F-actin and α-tubulin and their association with ZO-1 are known to regulate COM-mediated TJ disruption ( Hadpech et al, 2022 , Peerapen and Thongboonkerd, 2021a ), the role of lamin A/C in COM kidney stone model remains unclear. Based on our previous findings ( Pongsakul et al, 2016 , Semangoen et al, 2008 ) and recent studies ( Karakaya et al, 2022 , Wuttimongkolchai et al, 2022 ), we hypothesized that lamin A/C might be associated with ZO-1 and its upregulation might be related to the COM-induced TJ disruption (either as the cause or the effect). The present study, therefore, addressed the roles for lamin A/C and its association with ZO-1 in COM-mediated TJ disruption.…”
