Article Abstract
Background & Aims: Intestinal lymphoepithelial interactions occur in the epithelium and the subepithelial space. We asked whether normal, Crohn's disease (CD), or ulcerative colitis (UC) lamina propria lymphocytes (LPL) could promote intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) growth and differentiation.
Methods: T84 cells were cocultured with isolated LPL. IECs were then lysed and subjected to measurement of intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) activity; Western blot analysis for MAPK and Akt activation; and real-time polymerase chain reaction to assess caudal-related homeoprotein 2 (CDX2) messenger RNA (mRNA) levels. Tissue sections were immunostained for evidence of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activation, CDX2, and IAP; and CDX2 mRNA expression was assessed in human colonic biopsy specimens.
Results: IAP activity was increased in T84 cells cocultured for 8 days with normal LPL (P < .05) and even greater with CD LPL (P < .001). Crypt IECs in active CD mucosa expressed IAP ex vivo. Phospho-MAPK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, p38, and c-Jun-N-terminal kinase) and phospho-Akt were seen as early as 30 minutes after coculture. MAPK activation was greatest in T84 cells cocultured with CD LPL. There was a specific increase in Phospho-p38 MAPK and Phospho-Akt staining in the nuclei of crypt IECs in active vs inactive CD, normal mucosa, and UC mucosa. CDX2 mRNA expression was increased in CD LPL cocultured T84 cells, which did not correlate with CDX2 protein localization ex vivo.
Conclusions: There is cross talk between LPL and IECs, which leads to IEC differentiation. The differentiation is accelerated in CD mucosa.

Inhibition of CFTR-mediated intestinal chloride secretion by nornidulin: Cellular mechanisms and anti-secretory efficacy in human intestinal epithelial cells and human colonoids.

Secretory diarrhea, a major global health concern, particularly among young children, is often characterized by excessive chloride secretion through the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel. Nornidulin, a fungus-derived natural product from Aspergillus unguis, has previously been shown to inhibit cAMP-induced Cl- secretion in T84 cells (human intestinal cell lines). However, the cellular mechanism of nornidulin in inhibiting cAMP-induced Cl- secretion and its anti-secretory efficacy is still unknown especially in a human colonoid model, a preclinical model recapitulating intestinal physiology in humans.

Article Synopsis
- The Cucurbitaceae family, known for its bioactive compounds, is being studied for its potential in preventing and treating colorectal cancer (CRC).
- Four different extracts from cucurbit leaves and seeds were tested on various CRC cell lines to evaluate their effects on tumor growth and cell health.
- Cold ethanolic extracts showed significant anti-cancer properties, such as inhibiting cell proliferation and angiogenesis, and were linked to specific cell cycle changes and gene expression modifications, suggesting they could enhance CRC treatment strategies.

Th2 polarization is a characteristic feature of many immune diseases; its pathogenesis is still being elucidated. Probiotics have immune regulatory effects. This study is aimed at testing the impact of Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LR) DNA on regulating Th2 polarization and elucidating its underlying mechanism.

Shiga toxins (Stxs), produced by serotype 1 and certain pathotypes, cause hemorrhagic colitis, which can progress to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and central nervous system (CNS) pathology. The underlying mechanisms of toxin-induced inflammation remain unclear. The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and its downstream target, MAPKAPK2 (MK2), play key roles in various cellular responses.

Article Synopsis
- The Tan-Re-Qing Capsule (TRQC) is a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat acute lung injury (ALI) and COVID-19-related issues, and this study investigates its effects on LPS-induced ALI in mice.
- Results showed that TRQC significantly reduced inflammation and injury in ALI models by targeting inflammation-related signaling pathways like NF-κB and MAPK.
- The study suggests that TRQC may be a promising treatment for inflammatory lung diseases, highlighting its potential to inhibit harmful inflammatory responses and assist in healing.
