    A Novel Role of SLC26A3 in Maintenance of Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Integrity

    Wildtype and down regulated in adenoma KO mice and crypt-derived colonoids were used as models for intestinal epithelial response. Paracellular permeability was measured using fluorescein Isothiocyanate-dextran flux. Immunoblotting, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry and Ribonucleoprotein Immunoprecipitation assays were performed.

    FAM3D is Essential for Colon Homeostasis and Host Defense against Inflammation Associated Carcinogenesis

    Researchers demonstrated that deficiency in Fam3D was associated with impaired integrity of colonic mucosa, increased epithelial hyper-proliferation, reduced anti-microbial peptide production and increased sensitivity to chemically induced colitis associated with high incidence of cancer.

    A Novel PAK1-Notch1 Axis Regulates Crypt Homeostasis in Intestinal Inflammation

    IL-10/PAK1 double knockout mice were generated and development of colitis and colitis-associated cancer was analyzed. Large intestines were measured and prepared for histology or RNA isolation. Swiss rolls were stained with H&E and PAS. Co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence were performed using intestinal organoids, SW480 and normal human colon epithelial cells.

    Lin 28A/Occludin Axis: An Aberrantly Activated Pathway in Intestinal Epithelial Cells Leading to Impaired Barrier Function under Total Parenteral Nutrition

    Using mouse intestinal organoids and human gut‐derived Caco‐2 cells as in vitro models, scientists found that expression of Occludin could be significantly suppressed by ectopic overexpression of Lin 28A.

    Mulberroside a Repairs High Fructose Diet‐Induced Damage of Intestinal Epithelial and Blood‐Brain Barriers in Mice: A Potential for Preventing Hippocampal Neuroinflammatory Injury

    High fructose dietH (FrD)‐fed mice were treated orally with mulberroside A for eight weeks. Mulberroside A was found to inhibit hippocampal neuroinflammation and neurogenesis reduction in HFrD‐fed mice.

    Abstract

    Toll-Like Receptor 4 Regulates Intestinal Fibrosis via Cytokine Expression and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition

    The authors investigated the role of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in intestinal fibrosis using not only a murine fibrosis model but also human myofibroblasts and intestinal epithelial cells. Colon fibrosis was induced in TLR4-deficient mice and its wild-type counterparts with 3% dextran sulfate sodium.

    The Importance of Hypoxia-Inducible Factors (HIF-1 and HIF-2) for the Pathophysiology of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

    Myeloid hypoxia inducible factors(HIF)-1α and HIF-2α played opposing roles in acute dextran sodium sulfate colitis. Thus, not only a cell type specific, but also the isoform specific modulation of HIFs need to be addressed in attempts to modify HIF for therapeutic purposes.

    Constitutive Musashi1 Expression Impairs Mouse Postnatal Development and Intestinal Homeostasis

    Scientists implicated Musashi1 in mouse postnatal development of multiple organs, with Notch signaling alterations contributing to intestinal defects.

    Abstract

    Novel Pentapeptide Derived from Chicken by-Product Ameliorates DSS-Induced Colitis by Enhancing Intestinal Barrier Function via AhR-Induced Src Inactivation

    Investigators demonstrated that aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activation by LP-5 could inhibit the Src kinase to increase tight junction protein levels and down-regulate the expression of inflammatory cytokines to protect the intestinal barrier and finally alleviate dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis.

    Organoid-Based Modeling of Intestinal Development, Regeneration, and Repair

    Scientists discuss how Wnt and YAP signaling pathways control the intestinal repair response and the transitioning of cell states, in comparison with the process of intestinal development.
