Objective: To explore the molecular mechanisms of colonic epithelial aging related proteins and aged colonic epithelial susceptibility to tumor.
Methods: The proteins of normal human colonic epithelial tissue from young and old people were separated by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE), respectively. Then gels were stained by silver, scanned by imagescanner and analyzed with PDQuest software. The differentially expressed protein spots of colonic epithelium between the old and the young groups were identified by peptide mass fingerprint based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and database searching.
Results: Well-resolved and reproducible 2DGE maps of normal human colonic epithelium from the young and the old were acquired. Nineteen more than 2 fold differentially expressed protein spots were identified representing 17 different proteins by MALDI-TOF-MS. The functions of these proteins involve in metabolism, energy generation, transportation, antioxidation, translation and protein folding.
Conclusion: Seventeen aging related proteins of human colonic epithelium identified indicate that injury of mitochondrial function and decline of antioxidant capability are important reasons for the aging of human colonic epithelium. These data provided useful clues for elucidating the mechanisms of colonic epithelial aging and aged colonic epithelial susceptibility to cancer.

Background: Bacterial toxins are emerging as promising hallmarks of colorectal cancer (CRC) pathogenesis. In particular, Cytotoxic Necrotizing Factor 1 (CNF1) from E. coli deserves special consideration due to the significantly higher prevalence of this toxin gene in CRC patients with respect to healthy subjects, and to the numerous tumor-promoting effects that have been ascribed to the toxin in vitro.

Background And Aims: Protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 23 (PTPN23) regulates the internalization of growth factor receptors such as the epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR). Given the crucial function of such receptors in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), we assessed the involvement of PTPN23 in intestinal homeostasis and epithelial proliferation.
Methods: We generated mouse models with constitutive (PTPN23fl/flVilCre+/-) or inducible (PTPN23fl/flVilCreERT+/-) deletion of PTPN23 in IEC.

Purpose: C9orf72 deficiency contributes to severe inflammation in mice. Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with the shortage of clinical success. However, whether C9orf72 is involved in the progression of UC is not fully understood.

Background And Aims: Probe-based confocal endomicroscopy (pCLE) allows real-time microscopic visualization of the intestinal mucosa surface layers. Despite remission achieved through anti-tumor necrosis factor or vedolizumab therapy, anomalies in the intestinal epithelial barrier are observed in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. Our study aimed to assess these abnormalities in non-IBD individuals and compare them with IBD patients in endoscopic remission to identify the associated factors.

As one of the most important ruminant breeds, Holstein cattle supply a significant portion of milk and dairy for human consumption, playing a crucial role in agribusiness. The goal of our study was to examine the molecular adaptation of gastrointestinal tissues that facilitate milk synthesis in dairy cattle. DATA DESCRIPTION: We performed RNA-seq analysis on epithelial cells from the rumen, duodenum, and colon at eight different time points: Days 3, 14, 28, 45, 120, 220, and 305 in milk, as well as the dry period.
