Neuropeptide neurotensin stimulates intestinal wound healing following chronic intestinal inflammation.

Because neurotensin (NT) and its high-affinity receptor (NTR1) modulate immune responses, chloride secretion, and epithelial cell proliferation, we sought to investigate their role in the repair process that follows the development of mucosal injuries during a persistent inflammation. Colonic NT and NTR1, mRNA, and protein significantly increased only after dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced ...

Effect of intestinal inflammation on fecal elastase concentration in dogs.

BACKGROUND A commercially available ELISA kit for fecal elastase measurement can be used in the diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) in dogs. However, other causes of diarrhea also may affect fecal elastase concentration. OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to determine whether intestinal inflammation alters fecal elastase concentration in dogs. METHODS Fecal elastase concen...

Intestinal Leiomyositis: A Cause of Chronic Intestinal Pseudo‐Obstruction in 6 Dogs

BACKGROUND Intestinal leiomyositis is a suspected autoimmune disorder affecting the muscularis propria layer of the gastrointestinal tract and is a cause of chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction in humans and animals. OBJECTIVE To characterize the clinical presentation, histopathologic features, and outcome of dogs with intestinal leiomyositis in an effort to optimize treatment and prognosis....

Prom1 Function in Development, Intestinal Inflammation, and Intestinal Tumorigenesis

Prom1/CD133 has been identified in colorectal, hepatocellular, and pancreatic cancer as a cancer stem cell marker and has been used as such to predict colon cancer recurrence in humans. Its potential molecular function as well as its role as a marker of intestinal regeneration is still not fully known. We evaluated the role of Prom1 in intestinal regeneration in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)...

Commentary: “Prom1 Function in Development, Intestinal Inflammation, and Intestinal Tumorigenesis”

A large body of publications mentioning prominin-1 (Prom1, CD133) is related to its use as a stem and cancer stem cell marker (1). Besides progenitor cells, its expression is widespread throughout terminally differentiated cells as those found in glandular organs (e.g., pancreas) and retina (2). Yet, the amino acid sequence of Prom1 didn’t reveal any motif or potential enzymatic activity that c...
