IL-33 and IL-18 in inflammatory bowel disease etiology and microbial interactions
(2019)The IL-1 cytokines are a newly expanded family, with each of its 11 members playing an important role in health and disease. Typically acting as pro- or anti-inflammatory mediators of first-line innate immunity, their ... -
Establishing Boundaries: The Relationship That Exists between Intestinal Epithelial Cells and Gut-Dwelling Bacteria.
(2019)The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a highly complex organ in which various dynamic physiological processes are tightly coordinated while interacting with a complex community of microorganisms. Within the GI tract, ... -
NLRP1 restricts butyrate producing commensals to exacerbate inflammatory bowel disease
(2018)Anti-microbial signaling pathways are normally triggered by innate immune receptors when detecting pathogenic microbes to provide protective immunity. Here we show that the inflammasome sensor Nlrp1 aggravates DSS-induced ... -
Loss of microRNA-21 influences the gut microbiota causing reduced susceptibility in a murine model of colitis
(2018)Background and aims: microRNAs regulate gene expression and influence the pathogenesis of human diseases. The present study investigated the role of microRNA-21 [miR-21] in the pathogenesis of intestinal inflammation, ... -
Consequences of producing DNA gyrase from a synthetic gyrBA operon in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium
(2021)DNA gyrase is an essential type II topoisomerase that is composed of two subunits, GyrA and GyrB and has an A 2 B 2 structure. Although both subunits are required in equal proportions to form DNA gyrase, the gyrA and gyrB ...
