Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:22

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.3K
Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma receptor (Eph) and its ligand, Eph receptor-interacting protein (Ephrin) were first discovered in the human carcinoma cell line, hence the name. Ephrin-Eph interaction guides cells to reach their appropriate location in adult tissues. They also play an essential role in the immune system by helping in immune cell migration, adhesion, and activation. Based on their structure and function, Eph is divided into two classes — EphA and EphB.

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells01:23

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells

2.8K
The intestinal epithelial lining rapidly renews every 4 to 5 days. The renewal is facilitated by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) located at the base of the crypt– a gland located at the bottom of each villus. ISCs divide asymmetrically to form new stem cells and progenitor daughter cells. The daughter cells are called transit-amplifying (TA) cells which move upwards along the crypt and either differentiate into absorptive cells– the enterocytes or secretory cells– including the...

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:12

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.2K
Notch signaling was first discovered in Drosophila melanogaster, where it is involved in cell lineage differentiation. Notch signaling regulates the maintenance and differentiation of intestinal stem cells or ISCs by controlling the expression of atonal homolog 1 or Atoh1. Atoh1 directs cells to differentiate into secretory cells.
Direct cell-to-cell contact is needed for the activation of Notch signaling. The signal is initiated when a notch ligand binds to a receptor on an adjacent cell, also...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy

451
Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...

Irritable Bowel Syndrome I: Introduction

544
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is characterized by functional disturbances in the gastrointestinal system, presenting a cluster of symptoms without evident structural or biochemical abnormalities. It primarily affects the large intestine and may cause abdominal pain, bloating, excessive gas, diarrhea, constipation, or both.
IBS is a chronic condition that can persist over a long period or recur frequently.
The pathogenesis of IBS involves a complex interplay of the following factors:
Altered...

Histology of the Small Intestine01:27

Histology of the Small Intestine

2.0K
The small intestine exhibits a unique histological structure that significantly enhances its function in digestion and nutrient absorption. These structures include circular folds, villi, and various specialized cells that collectively facilitate the digestion of food.
The intestinal lining features transverse folds called circular folds, each housing fingerlike projections known as intestinal villi. These villi are covered by a layer of simple columnar epithelium, also referred to as...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Immunology

Background:

  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis involves complex interactions between host immunity and the gut microbiome.
  • X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) deficiency is linked to immune dysregulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the roles of epithelial dysfunction and intestinal dysbiosis in IBD development.
  • To investigate these mechanisms in both human patients and animal models of XIAP deficiency.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of epithelial barrier function in IBD patients and XIAP-deficient models.
  • Characterization of gut microbial composition (intestinal dysbiosis) in relevant cohorts.
  • Correlation of epithelial dysfunction and dysbiosis with disease severity and inflammatory markers.

Main Results:

  • Epithelial dysfunction was identified as a key contributor to IBD.
  • Intestinal dysbiosis was significantly associated with disease phenotypes in XIAP deficiency models.
  • These factors were found to be interconnected in promoting intestinal inflammation.

Conclusions:

  • Epithelial dysfunction and intestinal dysbiosis are critical drivers of inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Targeting these pathways may offer novel therapeutic strategies for IBD.
  • Findings from XIAP deficiency models provide insights into broader IBD mechanisms.
