  • Title: Caco-2 Monolayer as a Model of the Intestinal Barrier: Permeability of Magnesium Salts.
    Author: Chomanicova N, Adamickova A, Valaskova S, Gazova A, Kyselovic J.
    Journal: Methods Mol Biol; 2024; 2835():301-306. PubMed ID: 39105925.
    Abstract:
    Magnesium, an essential mineral for various physiological functions, is subject to tight regulation within the body. Understanding its absorption across epithelial cell monolayers is crucial for optimizing dietary magnesium intake and therapeutic strategies. The Caco-2 monolayer model, widely recognized for its relevance to the human intestinal epithelium, provides a suitable platform for this investigation. This protocol covers the step-by-step procedures for the cultivation of Caco-2 monolayer preparation of transwell systems. It provides guidance on the setup of magnesium transport experiments, which involve the application of magnesium salts to the apical side of the Caco-2 monolayer and monitoring their transport to the basolateral side.
