Aim: To observe the effect of ionizing radiation on intestinal epithelial cells 6 (IEC-6) and the effect of IL-2 on the proliferation and recovery of radiation-injured IEC-6 cells.
Methods: IEC-6 cells exposed to 4, 8 and 12 Gy gamma ray were analyzed with MTT colorimetry, light microscopy, electron microscopy, DNA gel electrophoresis and flow cytometry at 3, 6, 9, 12 hours and 1, 2, 3 days after radiation. Proliferation of 8 Gy gamma ray-irradiated IEC-6 cells which was treated with IL-2 was detected by MTT colorimetry at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 hours after irradiation.
Results: Proliferation of IEC-6 decreased with the increased dose of gamma ray radiation. Apoptotic IEC-6 cells increased apparently at 24 hours after radiation with 8.0 Gy gamma ray, IL-2 could enhance the proliferation of irradiated IEC-6 cells (especially at concentration of 1 x 10(5) U/L) in a dose-dependent manner.
Conclusion: 4-12 Gy of gamma ray radiation can reduce the proliferation and cause apoptosis of IEC-6 cells. IL-2 can accelerate proliferation of irradiated IEC-6 cells and protect IECs from ionization radiation injury.

Background Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) manifests as a critical state marked by acute abdominal symptoms, often associated with intestinal barrier dysfunction, exacerbating SAP retroactively. Ganoderic acid A (GAA) demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties in various inflammatory disorders. Nonetheless, its potential therapeutic impact on SAP and the underlying mechanisms remain unexplored.

5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu) is a chemotherapeutic agent widely used to treat various cancers, which causes intestinal mucositis as a common side effect. Ginsenoside Rc, an active compound with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and antitumor properties, has protective effects against chemotherapy-induced mucositis caused by 5-Fu. This study aims to evaluate the protective effects of Rc on 5-Fu-induced chemotherapy-related mucositis and to elucidate its underlying mechanisms.

The therapeutic potential of intestinal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (ISCs-EVs) in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains largely unexplored. This research aims to investigate the therapeutic effects of ISCs-EVs on NEC. Lgr5-positive ISCs were screened from the small intestine of mice by flow cytometry, and ISCs-EVs were isolated by density gradient centrifugation.
