Gut instincts: thoughts on intestinal epithelial stem cells.
surface of the gastrointestinal tract is lined by a simple columnar epithelium that is folded to form a number of invaginations, or crypts, that are embedded in the connective tissue. Each crypt contains approximately 250 cells, depending on its species and anatomical location. Crypt size and organization are generally uniform within a given region of the gastrointestinal tract (1). Of the majo...
متن کاملGut instincts: CYP3A4 and intestinal drug metabolism.
First-pass metabolism is a common cause of incomplete and variable absolute bioavailability for an orally dosed drug. The drug-metabolizing enzyme CYP3A4 is often implicated in this process, resulting, in some cases, in systemic exposures of less than 15% of the administered dose. By creating an elegant CYP3A4-transgenic mouse model, van Herwaarden et al. show in this issue of the JCI that firs...
متن کاملGut instincts: explorations in intestinal physiology and drug delivery.
We need to look beyond our gut instincts to use information on "simple" intestinal physiological parameters as they have been presented to us in the past. Here we present a discussion on such parameters, old and new, and ask how much we really understand them. Behaviour of drugs and delivery systems in the intestine depends on many physiological factors including fluid volume, fluid composition...
متن کاملSpecial Issue: Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and Intestinal Epithelial Stem Cells Brief Review Inflammatory bowel diseases and intestinal epithelial stem cells
Recent studies on human inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have brought our attention to continued epithelial injury and impaired epithelial regeneration as their key pathophysiological features. In order to develop a novel approach for the treatment of IBD, it is important to understand the ordered process of epithelial repair and the pivotal roles for the epithelial stem cells in this process....
متن کاملMitochondria deliver a gut check to intestinal stem cells
Adult tissues are maintained by the carefully coordinated activity of stem cells. In the midgut of adult fruit flies, for instance, intestinal stem cells (ISCs) asymmetrically divide to yield both a new stem cell and an enteroblast capable of differentiating into the intestine’s other main cell types. ISCs can undergo a burst of proliferation to repair the intestinal epithelium if it is damaged...
