Impact of Epithelial Claudin-4 and Leukotriene B4 Receptor 2 in Normoganglionic Hirschsprung Disease Colon on Post Pull-through Enterocolitis

Abstract

To investigate whether Leukotriene B4 receptor 2 (BLT-2), an upstream regulator of tight junction protein (TJP) Claudin-4, and TJPs could be etiologic factors in Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) after pull-through (PT) for Hirschsprung disease (HD).
