Mice Ameliorates Experimental Colitis in Intestinal Nematode Infection

Intestinal nematode infection ameliorates experimental colitis in mice.

Epidemiological studies suggest that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is common in developed countries and rare in countries where intestinal nematode infections are common. T cells are critical in many immune responses, including those associated with IBD and nematode infection. Among the distinct T helper (Th) cell subsets, Th1-type immune response is predominantly associated with Crohn's dis...

Fluoxetine inhibits NF-κB signaling in intestinal epithelial cells and ameliorates experimental colitis and colitis-associated colon cancer in mice.

Although fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, is known to demonstrate anti-inflammatory activity, little information is available on the effect of fluoxetine regarding intestinal inflammation. This study investigates the role of fluoxetine in the attenuation of acute murine colitis by suppression of the NF-κB pathway in intestinal epithelial cells (IEC). Fluoxetine significantl...

Chronic intestinal nematode infection exacerbates experimental Schistosoma mansoni infection.

Mixed-parasite infections are common in many parts of the world, but little is known of the effects of concomitant parasite infections on the immune response or on disease progression. We have investigated the in vivo effects of a chronic gastrointestinal nematode infection on the infectivity and development of the immune response against the common trematode helminth Schistosoma mansoni. The d...
