Dietary Fiber Is Essential to Maintain Intestinal Size, L-Cell Secretion, and Intestinal Integrity in Mice

Dietary fiber has been linked to improved gut health, yet the mechanisms behind this association remain poorly understood. One proposed mechanism is through its influence on the secretion of gut hormones, including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and gluca ...

Neutrophils suppress tumor-infiltrating T cells in colon cancer via matrix metalloproteinase-mediated activation of TGF beta

Freddy Radtke, Nadine Fournier, George Coukos, Marc-Olivier Sauvain, Mauro Delorenzi, Amber Dawn Bowler, Markus Germann

High T-cell infiltration in colorectal cancer (CRC) correlates with a favorable disease outcome and immunotherapy response. This, however, is only observed in a small subset of CRC patients. A better understanding of the factors influencing tumor T-cell re ...

Micellization behavior of bile salt with pluronic (F-127) and synthesis of silver nanoparticles in a mixed system

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin

The sequestrant is a substance used to cure bile salt diarrhea. They bind to bile salts by hydrophobic and electrostatic forces to stop them from contact with colon mucosa. The block copolymer could be used as bile salt binding agents. Herein, the physicoc ...

Natural compounds boldine and menthol are antagonists of human 5-HT

Rudolf Hovius

Background Impaired 5-HT3 receptor function is likely involved in the pathogenesis of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) and 5-HT3 receptor antagonists are effective treatments for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and irritable bow ...

SPROUTY2 is a β-catenin and FOXO3a target gene indicative of poor prognosis in colon cancer

Jörg Hülsken, Paloma Ordonez Moran, Anja Irmisch

SPROUTY2 (SPRY2) is an intracellular regulator of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling involved in cell growth, differentiation and tumorigenesis. Here, we show that SPRY2 is a target gene of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway that is abnormally activated in more ...

Serotonin receptor diversity in the human colon: Expression of serotonin type 3 receptor subunits 5-HT3C, 5-HT3D, and 5-HT3E

Rudolf Hovius

Since the first description of 5-HT3 receptors more than 50 years ago, there has been speculation about the molecular basis of their receptor heterogeneity. We have cloned the genes encoding novel 5-HT3 subunits 5-HT3C, 5-HT3D, and 5-HT3E and have shown th ...

The Intestinal Nuclear Receptor Signature With Epithelial Localization Patterns and Expression Modulation in Tumors

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The WNT-adenomatous polyposis coli system controls cell fate in the intestinal epithelium, where compartment-specific genes tightly regulate proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Nuclear receptors are transcription factors funct ...

Electrical and mechanical activity of the intestine : experimental assessment and biophysical modeling

Mattia Bertschi

The intestine is today still an organ whose mechanisms of functions are not fully understood. The diffculty in its understanding comes from the fact that it is regulated by a complex network of signals of different natures. Granting that a multitude of exp ...
