Targeting Hypoxia to Augment Mucosal Barrier Function.
Sites of inflammation are associated with profound changes in tissue metabolism. Studies in vitro and in vivo have shown that the activation of the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) serves as an adaptive pathway for the resolution of inflammation associated with various murine disease models. The resolution of disease occurs, at least in part, through transcriptional regulation of non-classical ep...
متن کاملHelminthic therapy: improving mucosal barrier function.
The epidemiology of autoimmune diseases and helminth infections led to suggestions that helminths could improve inflammatory conditions, which was then tested using animal models. This has translated to clinical investigations aimed at the safe and controlled reintroduction of helminthic exposure to patients suffering from autoimmune diseases (so-called 'helminthic therapy') in an effort to mit...
متن کاملHypoxia inducible factors regulate filaggrin expression and epidermal barrier function
A functional epidermal skin barrier requires the formation of a cornified envelope from terminally differentiating keratinocytes. During this process, multiple genetic and environmental signals coordinately regulate protein expression and tissue differentiation. Here we describe a critical role for hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) in the regulation of filaggrin expression and skin barrier forma...
متن کاملGASTRIC MUCOSAL PROTECTION Peripheral mechanisms of gastric mucosal protection: mediators, receptors Gastric mucosal barrier to acid
Gastric mucosal integrity can be influenced both by peripheral and central mechanisms. In the last decades the peripheral mechanisms of gastric mucosal defense have been intensively studied, and many details have been clarified. Some of these results have served as a basis for the development of new strategies, therapeutic targets in the treatment of gastric mucosal lesions. On the other hand, ...
متن کاملBiliary Mucosal Barrier and Microbiome
BACKGROUND The biliary system is in continuous contact with the complex microbiota of the intestine. Microbial products have recently been proposed as potential triggers for biliary diseases. METHODS The aim of this review is to provide a summary of the current knowledge regarding the role of the biliary and intestinal microbiome in biliary inflammatory diseases. RESULTS Previously, it was ...
