Beta7 integrin deficiency suppresses B cell homing and attenuates chronic ileitis in SAMP1/YitFc mice.
Lymphocyte recruitment to intestinal tissues depends on β(7) integrins. In this study, we studied disease severity and lymphocyte recruitment into the small intestine in SAMP1/YitFc mice, which develop chronic ileitis with similarity to human Crohn's disease. To assess the role of β(7) integrins in chronic ileitis, we generated SAMP1/YitFc lacking β(7) integrins (SAMP1/YitFc Itgb7(-/-)) using a...
متن کاملCD44 Disruption Attenuates Murine Hepatic Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury
Neutrophil adhesion and migration are critical in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Despite very strong preclinical data, recent clinical trials failed to show a protective effect of anti-adhesion therapy in reperfusion injury. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the role of CD44 in neutrophil infiltration and liver injury from hepatic I/R. In this study, using a partial hep...
متن کاملSHIP deficiency causes Crohn's disease-like ileitis
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can arise from genetic mutations that compromise intestinal epithelial cell integrity or immune regulation. SHIP has previously been shown to play a pivotal role in limiting the number of immunoregulatory cells and their function. AIM To determine whether SHIP plays a pivotal role in control of immune tolerance in the gut mucosa. METHODS Gastroint...
متن کاملIL-6 Deficiency Attenuates Murine Diet-Induced Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis
BACKGROUND The role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a common cause of liver disease, is still poorly understood. This study aimed at assessing the involvement of a major inflammatory cytokine, IL-6, in NASH. MATERIALS AND METHODS Steatohepatitis was induced by feeding wild-type or IL-6(-/-) mice for 5 weeks with a methionine and choline-deficient (...
متن کاملCD44 expression on murine tissues.
CD44 is a cell surface glycoprotein found on lymphoid and epithelial cells. Its primary function on lymphocytes and macrophages is to mediate interaction with endothelium, while its function on epithelial cells is not known. The protein has many different forms, generated by alternative mRNA splicing and by post-translational modification, which may mediate different functions. During previous ...
