Journal ArticleDOI

Intestinal epithelial vitamin D receptor deletion leads to defective autophagy in colitis

TL;DR: Fundamental relationship between VDR, autophagy and gut microbial assemblage that is essential for maintaining intestinal homeostasis, but also in contributing to the pathophysiology of IBD is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increases in free radicals and cytoskeletal protein oxidation and nitration in the colon of patients with inflammatory bowel disease

TL;DR: Oxidant levels increase in IBD along with oxidation of tissue and cytoskeletal proteins, and marked actin oxidation—which appears to result from cumulative oxidative damage—was only seen in inflamed mucosa, suggesting that oxidant induced cytOSkeletal disruption is required for tissue injury, mucosal disruption, and IBD flare up.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lack of Vitamin D Receptor Causes Dysbiosis and Changes the Functions of the Murine Intestinal Microbiome

TL;DR: Several important pathways, such as nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor, affected by VDR status are identified, including amino acid, carbohydrate, and fatty acid synthesis and metabolism, detoxification, infections, signal transduction, and cancer and other diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Salmonella‐infected crypt‐derived intestinal organoid culture system for host–bacterial interactions

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the Salmonella‐infected organoid culture system is a new experimental model suitable for studying host–bacterial interactions and the inflammatory responses through activation of the NF‐κB pathway in the organoids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leaky intestine and impaired microbiome in an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis mouse model

TL;DR: A potential novel role of the intestinal epithelium and microbiome in the progression of ALS is suggested and principal coordinate analysis indicated a difference in fecal microbial communities between ALS and wild‐type mice.
