Core Tip	Epithelial barrier function is compromised in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Apical tight junction proteins, in particular claudins, are key players in epithelial barrier function. However, there is little consensus regarding the expression of most claudin isoforms in these conditions or whether these findings are primary or secondary to disease pathogenesis. Knowledge of tight junction protein expression and function in IBD and IBD associated colorectal cancer will enhance our understanding of critical mechanisms in disease pathogenesis as well as novel therapeutic opportunities.
