Tight junction protein claudin-1 (CLDN1) is mainly involved in the intercellular barrier function of epithelial cells and is known to be dysregulated in many cancer types, including gastrointestinal cancers. However, the mechanisms behind their potential involvement in the proliferation and survival of tumor cells remain unexplored. In this study we sought to investigate the potential role and possible regulators of CLDN1 in gastric cancer. By analyzing the gastric tumors from publicly available genome-wide messenger RNA expression profiles, CLDN1 was identified to be overexpressed in gastric tumors when compared with normal gastric tissues. Association between CLDN1 expression and clinical molecular subtype characteristics of gastric cancer showed an elevated CLDN1 expression pattern in intestinal and proliferative types of gastric cancer. Using in vitro CLDN1 perturbation analysis in gastric cancer cell lines, we confirmed the potential role of CLDN1 in cellular proliferation. Aided by the integrative analysis of the pathway prediction method with CLDN1 expression in gastric tumors, we demonstrated the negative association between estrogen-α and CLDN1 expression in gastric tumors. Our results highlight the potential involvement of CLDN1 expression in gastric cancer.

The current mechanism by which aging reduces salivary secretion is unknown. This study investigates the mechanism of aging-related submandibular (SMG) dysfunction and evaluates the therapeutic potential of dental pulp stem cell-derived exosomes (DPSC-exos). We found that the stimulated salivary flow rate was significantly reduced in naturally aging and D-galactose-induced aging mice (D-gal mice) compared to control mice.

Oat beta-glucans (OBGs) are known for their beneficial effects on gut health, including anti-inflammatory and prebiotic effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of two doses (1% or 3% /) of dietary low-molar-mass OBG supplementation on colorectal cancer (CRC) development, immune cell profiles, intestinal barrier protein expression, and microbiota composition in a rat model of CRC induced by azoxymethane (AOM). Microbiome analysis revealed significant differences between the control and CRC groups.

This study investigated the effects of on alleviating loperamide-induced constipation. To evaluate the efficacy of in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, fecal parameters, the intestinal transit rate, and changes in intestinal mucosal cells were measured through histological analysis. Additionally, serotonin levels, water absorption, tight junction-related gene expression, and the cecal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) content were analyzed.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of a novel soluble yeast cell wall (YCW) on growth performance, gut health, intestinal morphology, and immune response in broiler chickens for 42 days. A total of 480 one-day-old Cobb 500 male broilers were randomly assigned to four treatments with six replicates and each replicate of twenty broiler chickens: a control group (CON) without feed additive supplementation, and three groups supplemented with YCW at 0.025 % (YCW1), 0.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored how a specific multi-strain probiotic and betaine affect growth and intestinal health in broiler chickens.
- A total of 2800 Ross 308 chicks were split into four groups: a control group, a probiotic group, a betaine group, and a combination group of both.
- Results indicated that both betaine and the multi-strain probiotic improved body weight and feed efficiency, with the combination group showing the best outcomes in muscle weight and intestinal development metrics, particularly at 35 days of age.
