Journal ArticleDOI

Aberrant mucin assembly in mice causes endoplasmic reticulum stress and spontaneous inflammation resembling ulcerative colitis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mucin misfolding and ER stress initiate colitis in mice, and that ER stress-related mucin depletion could be a fundamental component of the pathogenesis of human colitis and that clinical studies combining genetics, ER stressed pathology and relevant environmental epidemiology are warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trefoil factors: initiators of mucosal healing

TL;DR: Maintaining the integrity of the gastrointestinal tract, despite the continual presence of microbial flora and injurious agents, is essential and depends on a family of small, yet abundant, secreted proteins — the trefoil factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intestinal trefoil factor confers colonic epithelial resistance to apoptosis

TL;DR: Findings support a central role for ITF in the maintenance of intestinal mucosal continuity, and demonstrate the potential of ITF expression to confer resistance of colorectal tumors to therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct Pathways of Cell Migration and Antiapoptotic Response to Epithelial Injury: Structure-Function Analysis of Human Intestinal Trefoil Factor

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that distinct intracellular signaling pathways mediate the effects of ITF on cell migration and apoptosis, and neither an intact trefoil domain nor dimerization was required to promote cell migration.
