Article Abstract
Background: This study aimed to investigate how aging alters the homeostasis of the colonic intestinal epithelium and regeneration after tissue injury using organoid models and to identify its underlying molecular mechanism.
Methods: To investigate aging-related changes in the colonic intestinal epithelium, we conducted organoid cultures from old (older than 80 weeks) and young (6-10 weeks) mice and compared the number and size of organoids at day 5 of passage 0 and the growth rate of organoids between the two groups.
Results: The number and size of organoids from old mice was significantly lower than that from young mice (p < 0.0001) at day 5 of passage 0. The growth rate of old-mouse organoids from day 4 to 5 of passage 0 was significantly slower than that of young-mouse organoids (2.21 times vs. 1.16 times, p < 0.001). RNA sequencing showed that TGF-β- and cell cycle-associated genes were associated with the aging effect. With regard to mRNA and protein levels, Smad3 and p-Smad3 in the old-mouse organoids were markedly increased compared with those in the young-mouse organoids. Decreased expression of ID1, increased expression of p16, and increased cell cycle arrest were observed in the old mouse-organoids. Treatment with SB431542, a type I TGF-β receptor inhibitor, significantly increased the formation and growth of old-mouse organoids, and TGF-β1 treatment markedly suppressed the formation of young-mouse organoids. In the acute dextran sulfate sodium-colitis model and its organoid experiments, the colonic epithelial regeneration after tissue injury in old mice was significantly decreased compared with young mice.
Conclusions: Aging reduced the formation ability and growth rate of colonic epithelial organoids by increasing cell cycle arrest through TGF-β-Smad3-p16 signaling.

Introduction: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the intestinal tract in which mucosal healing is a crucial measure of therapeutic efficacy. Quercetin, a flavonoid prevalent in various foods and traditional Chinese medicines, exhibits notable pharmacological properties, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Consequently, it warrants investigation to determine its potential therapeutic effects on UC.

Colon lipomas are rare benign, nonepithelial tumors that are often asymptomatic. However, when symptoms do occur, they vary depending on the size and location of the lipoma and are generally nonspecific. Diagnosis is confirmed through histopathological analysis.

Introduction: The gastrointestinal microbiota profoundly influences the health and productivity of animals. This study aimed to characterize microbial community structures of the mouth, gastrointestinal tract (GIT), and feces of cattle.
Methods: Samples were collected from 18 Akaushi crossbred steers at harvest from multiple locations, including the oral cavity, rumen, abomasum, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, spiral colon, distal colon, and feces.
[Efficacy of Second Forward-View Colonoscopy to Improve Adenoma Detection of Right-Side Colon: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis].

Background/aims: The second forward view (SFV) has been considered an effective method to improve the adenoma detection rate (ADR) in the right-side colon. On the other hand, there is insufficient evidence on how much the ADR is improved compared to standard one forward view (OFV) colonoscopy. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to determine the efficacy of improvement in the ADR by SFV colonoscopy.

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.
