    CREPT Is Required for Murine Stem Cell Maintenance during Intestinal Regeneration

    Scientists report that CREPT, a recently identified tumor-promoting protein, was required for the maintenance of murine intestinal stem cells. CREPT was preferably expressed in the crypts but not in the villi.

    Salmonella enterica
    Serovar Typhimurium Exploits Cycling through Epithelial Cells to Colonize Human and Murine Enteroids

    Investigators employed microinjection, time-lapse microscopy, bacterial genetics, and barcoded consortium infections to describe the complete infection cycle of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in both human and murine enteroids.

    Plumericin
    Protects against Experimental Inflammatory Bowel Disease by Restoring Intestinal Barrier Function and Reducing Apoptosis

    Plumericin was evaluated for its ability to improve barrier function and to reduce apoptotic parameters during inflammation, both in intestinal epithelial cells, and in an animal experimental model of 2, 4, 6-dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced colitis.

    Cryptosporidial
    Infection Suppresses Intestinal Epithelial Cell MAPK Signaling Impairing Host Anti-Parasitic Defense

    Using various models of intestinal cryptosporidiosis, the authors found that Cryptosporidium infection caused suppression of mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling in infected murine intestinal epithelial cells.

    Semiconducting
    Polymer Nanoparticles for Photothermal Ablation of Colorectal Cancer Organoids

    Tumor organoid technology was used to evaluate the ablative potential of CD44-targeted polymer nanoparticles using hyaluronic acid (HA) as the targeting agent and coating it onto hybrid donor acceptor polymer particles (HDAPPs) to form HA-HDAPPs.

    Ethanol
    Exposure Drives Colon Location Specific Cell Composition Changes in a Normal Colon Crypt 3D Organoid Model

    Scientists employed RNA-sequencing to assess transcriptomic response to ethanol exposure in 3D organoid lines derived from healthy colon. Paired regression analysis identified 2,162 differentially expressed genes in response to ethanol.

    HCMV-Mediated
    Interference of Bortezomib-Induced Apoptosis in Colon Carcinoma Cell Line Caco-2

    Researchers investigated if proteasome inhibitors have therapeutic potential for colon carcinoma and how this is influenced by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection. They showed by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry that the colon carcinoma cell line Caco-2 was susceptible to HCMV infection.

    Eubacterium rectale
    Contributes to Colorectal Cancer Initiation via Promoting Colitis

    Scientists showed that E. rectale endotoxin activated the transcription factor NF-κΒ, which regulated multiple aspects of innate and adaptive immune responses in normal colon epithelial cells.
