|
| Investigators demonstrated a novel role of claudin-2 in promoting mucosal healing in inflammatory bowel disease patients and thus regulating vulnerability to colitis severity and colitis-associated cancer, which can be exploited for improved clinical management.

|
| Researchers investigated the role of Drp1 in regulating glycogen metabolism in colon cancer. Knockdown of Drp1 decreases mitochondrial respiration without increasing glycolysis. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Scientists determined that miR-3913-5p was downregulated in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines and CRC tissues. Exogenous miR-3913-5p expression weakened the CRC cell’s growth, migration, and invasion. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers performed an integrated analysis of four RNA-Seq data sets and TCGA datasets in this study to find novel biomarkers for diagnostic, prediction, and as potential therapeutic for this malignancy, as well as to determine the molecular mechanisms of colorectal cancer carcinogenesis.

|
| In vivo studies have shown that walnut protein peptides improve intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction and reduce inflammation by inhibiting activation of the TLR4-MAPK pathway. [Journal Of Agricultural And Food Chemistry] |
|
|
|
| Investigators explored the protective properties and potential mechanisms of wheat-germ-derived peptide APEPEPAF against ulcerative colitis. Colitis mice induced by dextran sulfate sodium were used as the animal model. [Journal Of Agricultural And Food Chemistry] |
|
|
|
| Scientists applied structure-functional analysis to define the functional peptide of p40 that modulated the epigenetic program in intestinal epithelial cells for sustained prevention of colitis. [Gut Microbes] |
|
|
|
| Investigators explored metabolite mimicry as an attractive strategy for the biological response to hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF). They discovered that 4-mercapto butyrate stabilized HIF more potently and had a longer biological half-life than butyrate in intestinal epithelial cells. [Gut Microbes] |
|
|
|
| An HT-29 cell model of colitis was established by dextran sulfate sodium stimulation and cultured with lentinan and/or probiotics to examine cell proliferation and apoptosis. [Molecular Biotechnology] |

|
| The authors stratify previously reported experimental and clinical observations of the role of mitochondria and intestinal microbiota in IBD. [Journal Of Molecular Medicine] |

|
| Sanofi and Teva Pharmaceuticals announced a collaboration to co-develop and co-commercialize asset TEV’574, currently in Phase IIb clinical trials for the treatment of Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease, two types of inflammatory bowel disease. [Sanofi] |
