Objective: Intestinal mucositis is one of the common side effects of anti-cancer chemotherapy. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in mucositis development remain incompletely understood. In this study, we investigated the function of receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIP3/RIPK3) in regulating doxorubicin-induced intestinal mucositis and its potential mechanisms.
Methods: Intestinal mucositis animal models were induced in mice for in vivo studies. Rat intestinal cell line IEC-6 was used for in vitro studies. RNA‑seq was used to explore the transcriptomic changes in doxorubicin-induced intestinal mucositis. Intact glycopeptide characterization using mass spectrometry was applied to identify α-1,2-fucosylated proteins associated with mucositis.
Results: Doxorubicin treatment increased RIP3 expression in the intestine and caused severe intestinal mucositis in the mice, depletion of RIP3 abolished doxorubicin-induced intestinal mucositis. RIP3-mediated doxorubicin-induced mucositis did not depend on mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) but on α-1,2-fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2)-catalyzed α-1,2-fucosylation on inflammation-related proteins. Deficiency of MLKL did not affect intestinal mucositis, whereas inhibition of α-1,2-fucosylation by 2-deoxy-D-galactose (2dGal) profoundly attenuated doxorubicin-induced inflammation and mucositis.
Conclusions: RIP3-FUT2 pathway is a central node in doxorubicin-induced intestinal mucositis. Targeting intestinal RIP3 and/or FUT2-mediated α-1,2-fucosylation may provide potential targets for preventing chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis.

Small intestinal organoids are similar to actual small intestines in structure and function and can be used in various fields, such as nutrition, disease, and toxicity research. However, the basal-out type is difficult to homogenize because of the diversity of cell sizes and types, and the Matrigel-based culture conditions. Contrastingly, the apical-out form of small intestinal organoids is relatively uniform and easy to manipulate without Matrigel.

Introduction: In Crohn's disease (CD), lesions are mainly distributed in a segmental manner, with the primary sites of involvement being the ileum and colon. Heterogeneity in colon and ileum results in location-specific clinical presentations and therapeutic responses. Mucosal healing tends to be more readily and quickly achieved in the colon than in the ileum, where lesions are more likely to develop into complex behaviors.

Mycobacterium abscessus (Mabs), an intracellular and opportunistic pathogen, is considered the most pathogenic fast-growing mycobacterium, and causes severe pulmonary infections in patients with cystic fibrosis. While bacterial factors contributing to its pathogenicity are well studied, the host factors and responses that worsen Mabs infection are not fully understood. Here, we report that Mabs systemic infection alters Drosophila melanogaster intestinal homeostasis.

The gastrointestinal tract is a prominent portal of entry for HIV-1 during sexual or perinatal transmission, as well as a major site of HIV-1 persistence and replication. Elucidation of underlying mechanisms of intestinal HIV-1 infection are thus needed for the advancement of HIV-1 curative therapies. Here, we present a human 2D intestinal immuno-organoid system to model HIV-1 disease that recapitulates tissue compartmentalization and epithelial-immune cellular interactions.

Larvae Meal (HILM) has been observed to enhance growth performance and immune function, yet the effects and mechanisms in geese remain less understood. Experiment I included 64 Sichuan White Geese to investigate the optimal additive amount of HILM in diet, and experiment II included 32 Sichuan White Geese to access serum immunoglobulin, spleen immune-related genes, intestinal morphology and gut microbiota at the optimal additive amount of HILM. The results showed that the addition of 1% HILM significantly increased the ADG of Sichuan White Geese ( < 0.
