Background: Emerging evidence has suggested that miRNAs are important regulators of intestinal I/R injury, but their function in this context remains elusive.
Aims: To evaluate the role of miR-26b-5p in intestinal I/R injury.
Methods: We utilized in vivo murine models of intestinal I/R and in vitro Mode-K cell-based models of oxygen and glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) to examine the function of miR-26b-5p in intestinal I/R injury. The expression of miR-26b-5p in intestinal mucosa and Mode-K cell was detected by RT-PCR. HE staining and Chiu's score were used to evaluate intestinal mucosa injury severity. Apoptosis was detected by TUNEL stain, flow cytometry, and western blot. TargetScan and StarBase prediction algorithms were applied to predict putative target genes of miR-26b-5p and validated by luciferase reporter analyses.
Results: We found that the expression of miR-26b-5p in intestinal mucosa was markedly decreased during I/R injury. We additionally found miR-26b-5p overexpression to markedly disrupt intestinal I/R- or OGD/R-induced injury in vivo and in vitro, whereas inhibiting this miRNA had an adverse impact and resulted in increased intestinal tissue injury and Mode-K cell damage. From a mechanistic perspective, miR-26b-5p was predicted to target DAPK1, which was related to cellular apoptosis. Luciferase reporter assay results confirmed that miR-26b-5p directly targets DAPK1 in Mode-K cells, thereby suppressing OGD/R-induced cell apoptosis.
Conclusion: Our findings show that miR-26b-5p may prevent intestinal I/R injury via targeting DAPK1 and inhibiting intestinal mucosal cell apoptosis, suggesting that this miRNA may be a viable target for the treatment of intestinal I/R injury.

Avolition is a symptom responsible for a high burden in patients suffering from psychiatric diseases. It refers to a motivation loss for initiating and maintaining goal-directed activities, often called fatigue by patients. Fatigue is a widespread complaint of patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), significantly impacting patients' well-being, even during the quiescent stage of the disease.

Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IIR/I) significantly increases morbidity and mortality. This study examines the therapeutic effects of geraniol (GNL), which is noted for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, on intestinal I/R injury in rats. Forty-nine male Wistar-Albino rats were divided into seven groups.

Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is an extramedullary localization of immature granulocyte cells that can occur in association with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Gastrointestinal involvement is relatively common in MS, but exclusive colonic localization is a rare occurrence. Here, we report on a 53-year-old male patient affected by AML developing a severe abdominal pain caused by intestinal perforation requiring surgical intervention.

Using autologous orthotopic liver transplantation (AOLT) model in rats, the effect of lipid reactive oxygen species (L-ROS) inhibitor Ferrostain-1 on ferroptosis signal pathway was observed to determine whether ferroptosis occurred in rat liver injury after cold ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Thirty-two healthy adult SPF male SD rats, 8 ~ 10 weeks old, weight 240 ~ 260 g, were divided into four groups by the method of random number table (n = 8): sham group, I/R group, I/R + Fer-1 group, I/R + DFO group. In the I/R + Fer-1 group, ferristatin-1(5 mg /kg) was intraperitoneally injected 30 min before surgery; in the I/R + DFO group, DFO 100 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally 1 h before operation and 12 h after operation.

Background: Intestinal ischemia affects the functioning of the Enteric Nervous System (ENS). Pannexin-1 channel participates in cell communication and extracellular signaling. Probenecid (PB) is a pannexin-1 channel inhibitor, which can be a potential treatment for intestinal ischemia.
