    Redundant Cytokine Requirement for Intestinal Microbiota-Induced Th17 Cell Differentiation in Draining Lymph Nodes

    Scientists showed that intestine-draining mesenteric lymph nodes, not intestine proper, were the dominant site of segmented filamentous bacteria-induced intestinal Th17 cell differentiation.

    Human Small Intestinal Infection by SARS-CoV-2 Is Characterized by a Mucosal Infiltration with Activated CD8+ T Cells

    Researchers indicated that intraepithelial CD8+ T cells were activated upon infection of intestinal epithelial cells with SARS-CoV-2, providing one possible explanation for gastrointestinal symptoms associated with COVID-19.

    An Integrin αEβ7-Dependent Mechanism of IgA Transcytosis Requires Direct Plasma Cell Contact with Intestinal Epithelium

    Flow cytometric, ultrastructural and transcriptional profiling showed that αEβ7-expressing antibody-secreting cells represented an undescribed subset of terminally-differentiated intestinal plasma cells that established direct cell to cell contact with intestinal epithelium.

    Hsa_circ_0026628 Promotes the Development of Colorectal Cancer by Targeting SP1 to Activate the Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway

    Scientists investigated the role of circular RNA (circRNAs) which shared the same pre-mRNA with Sp1 transcription factor (SP1) in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and identified that hsa_circ_0026628, a circRNA that originated from SP1 pre-mRNA, was upregulated in CRC cells.

    Assessing Donor-to-Donor Variability in Human Intestinal Organoid Cultures

    Investigators investigated donor-to-donor variability in human gut adult stem cell organoids. They examined intestinal developmental pathways during culture differentiation in ileum- and colon-derived cultures established from multiple donors, showing that differentiation patterns were consistent among cultures.

    Comparative Analysis of Nuclear and Mitochondrial DNA from Tissue and Liquid Biopsies of Colorectal Cancer Patients

    Scientists analyzed cell-free DNA originating from nucleus and mitochondria and investigated their characteristics and mutation status in a cohort of 18 colorectal cancer patients and ten healthy controls using targeted next-generation sequencing and digital PCR.

    iTRAQ-Based Proteome Analysis of Porcine Group a Rotavirus-Infected Porcine IPEC-J2 Intestinal Epithelial Cells

    The authors investigated the protein profile of porcine rotavirus (PoRV)-infected IPEC-J2 cells using quantitative proteomics and provided valuable information to better understand the mechanisms underlying the host responses to PoRV infection in piglets.

    Diclofenac Down-Regulates COX-2 Induced Expression of CD44 and ICAM-1 in Human HT29 Colorectal Cancer Cells

    Scientists investigated the effect of diclofenac, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, on cell adhesion molecules and apoptosis in human colon adenocarcinoma cells. Levels of homing cell adhesion molecule, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and epithelial cell adhesion molecule were evaluated in cancer cells overexpressing or not expressing COX-2.

    Formulation Strategies to Improve the Efficacy of Intestinal Permeation Enhancers

    Focusing on peptides as examples of a macromolecule class, investigators review physiological impediments to optimal luminal presentation, discuss the efficacy of current permeation enhancers-based oral dosage forms, and suggest strategies that might be used to improve them.
