Abstract:
The etiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains unclear. The ratio of Fos related antigen‑1 (Fra‑1)‑positive intestinal mucosa epithelial cells is significantly increased in active IBD. This study intends to explore the regulatory role of Fra‑1 in IBD. The Fra‑1 eukaryotic expression vector was constructed and stably transfected to establish the Fra‑1 overexpression HCT‑116 (116‑Fra‑1) intestinal epithelial cell line. The impact of Fra‑1 overexpression on intestinal mucosal epithelial cell damage repair function was tested using a scratch assay. The role of Fra‑1 overexpression on intestinal mucosal epithelial cell proliferation was evaluated using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Apoptosis related proteins, B‑cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl‑2), c‑Myc, Survivin and Bcl‑extra large (Bcl‑xL), expression levels were detected by western blotting. Fra‑1 suppressed intestinal mucosal epithelial cell damage repair and proliferation. Fra‑1 inhibited the protein levels of Bcl‑2, c‑Myc, Survivin, and Bcl‑xL. Fra‑1 overexpression in intestinal mucosal epithelial cells may restrain damage repair after intestinal mucosal injury in IBD remittent period through weakening the protective effect of intestinal mucosa, thus increasing the risk of recurrence. Therefore, suppressing Fra‑1 expression in intestinal mucosal epithelial cells may contribute to IBD remittent maintenance and recurrence delay.

Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
