Indian Hedgehog Suppresses Intestinal Inflammation
edgehog signaling is an evolutionarily conserved Hpathway that is important for tissue patterning and repair and has been implicated in inflammatory responses for several tissues. However, the gene and cellular targets of the Hedgehog signaling pathway that orchestrate the inflammatory responses are not clearly defined. Hedgehog signaling is mediated by 3 different ligands (sonic hedgehog [Shh]...
متن کاملIntestinal inflammation in cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND There is controversy about whether the inflammatory response observed in the cystic fibrosis (CF) lung occurs secondary to bacterial infection or is caused by a dysregulation of the inflammatory response associated with the basic cellular defect of CF. AIMS To study the inflammatory response in the gastrointestinal tract of children with CF; and to investigate whether there is incr...
متن کاملPlatelet interaction with lymphatics aggravates intestinal inflammation by suppressing lymphangiogenesis.
Lymphatic failure is a histopathological feature of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Recent studies show that interaction between platelets and podoplanin on lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) suppresses lymphangiogenesis. We aimed to investigate the role of platelets in the inflammatory process of colitis, which is likely to be through modulation of lymphangiogenesis. Lymphangiogenesis in col...
متن کاملCommentary: “Prom1 Function in Development, Intestinal Inflammation, and Intestinal Tumorigenesis”
A large body of publications mentioning prominin-1 (Prom1, CD133) is related to its use as a stem and cancer stem cell marker (1). Besides progenitor cells, its expression is widespread throughout terminally differentiated cells as those found in glandular organs (e.g., pancreas) and retina (2). Yet, the amino acid sequence of Prom1 didn’t reveal any motif or potential enzymatic activity that c...
متن کاملProm1 Function in Development, Intestinal Inflammation, and Intestinal Tumorigenesis
Prom1/CD133 has been identified in colorectal, hepatocellular, and pancreatic cancer as a cancer stem cell marker and has been used as such to predict colon cancer recurrence in humans. Its potential molecular function as well as its role as a marker of intestinal regeneration is still not fully known. We evaluated the role of Prom1 in intestinal regeneration in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)...
