Although it has been known for many years that Eimeria acervulina (E. acervulina) initiates infection by invading the duodenal epithelial cells of chicken, the key protein molecules and the mechanisms of the parasite in invading are unknow. In this study, we found that 85 proteins of E. acervulina could bind with the chicken duodenal epithelial cells from Eimeria protein database. Among them, sixteen were identified only in Eimeria spp. correlation with invasion and evasion and 69 proteins were found in Eimeria spp. with more than 2 unique pep count. Nine out of the 16 proteins and 41 out of the 69 proteins were annotated according to Gene Ontology Annotation in terms of molecular function, biological process, and cellular localization. Most of the 9 annotated proteins occurred in binding, catalytic activity and cellular process whereas, 29 (70.73%) out of the 41 proteins had binding activity and 20 proteins (48.78%) had catalytic activity. The findings provided an insight into the interactive relationship between E. acervulina and host cells and will shed new lights on the understanding of molecular mechanisms of E. acervulina invasion and pathogenesis.

Intestinal epithelial cell NCoR deficiency ameliorates obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Nuclear receptor corepressor (NCoR1) interacts with various nuclear receptors and regulates the anabolism and catabolism of lipids. An imbalance in lipid/energy homeostasis is also an important factor in obesity and metabolic syndrome development. In this study, we found that the deletion of NCoR1 in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) mainly activated the nuclear receptor PPAR and attenuated metabolic syndrome by stimulating thermogenesis.

Prostaglandin E receptor type 4 (EP4) agonists have been shown to be effective in treating experimental ulcerative colitis (UC) in animals and in human clinical trials, but their development has been impeded by unacceptable systemic side effects. In this study, a series of methylene phosphate prodrugs of a highly potent and selective prostaglandin EP4 receptor agonist were designed to target and remain localized in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract after either oral or rectal instillation. The prodrugs were designed to be converted to liberate active EP4 agonist by intestinal alkaline phosphate (IAP), a ubiquitous enzyme found at the luminal of the intestinal wall thus exposing the colon epithelial barrier while reducing systemic exposure to the active agonist.

Article Synopsis
- Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is extremely deadly for neonatal piglets, with a mortality rate that can reach 100%, causing significant economic losses in the pig industry.
- The study identifies dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) as a cofactor that enhances PEDV invasion and replication by mapping its expression in various piglet tissues and showing its distribution in intestinal cells.
- Research indicates that inhibiting DPP4 reduces PEDV infection, and experiments suggest that DPP4 and PEDV interact directly, reinforcing the idea that DPP4 plays a crucial role in the virus’s ability to infect pigs.
Matrix-free human 2D organoids recapitulate duodenal barrier and transport properties.

Article Synopsis
- Traditional cell line monolayers have been the standard for studying epithelial barrier and transport, but 3D intestinal organoids are emerging as a better model for studying these functions.
- Researchers developed human duodenum-derived organoid monolayers that don't require a gelatinous matrix for anchorage, which could hinder diffusion.
- The new organoid monolayers effectively replicate the duodenum’s functions and composition, showing improved models for studying transport mechanisms without relying on animal-derived materials.
Case report: Two cases of pyloric adenomas with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia at distinct locations.
Front Immunol

Department of Pathology, Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University, Jining, Shandong, China.
The rare gastrointestinal tract epithelial polyp known as a pyloric gland adenoma (PGA) is more common in elderly women and uncommon in the duodenum. There are reports of two PGA cases involving high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia. A 75-year-old man was admitted to the hospital as Patient 1 due to "epigastric distension and pain for more than 10 days".
