The "gut-liver axis" is critical for the control of hepatic lipid homeostasis, where the intestine affects the liver through multiple pathways, such as nutrient uptake, gastrointestinal hormone release, and gut microbiota homeostasis. Whether intestine-originated exosomes mediate the gut's influence on liver steatosis remains unknown. Here, we aimed to determine whether intestinal epithelium-derived exosomes (intExos) contribute to the regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism.

Excessive cholesterol absorption from intestinal lumen contributes to the pathogenesis of hypercholesterolemia, which is an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) is a major membrane protein responsible for cholesterol absorption, in which the physiological role of vesicular endocytosis is still controversial, and it lacks a feasible tool to visualize and evaluate the endocytosis of NPC1L1 vesicles . Here, we genetically labeled endogenous NPC1L1 protein with EGFP in a knock-in mouse model, and demonstrated fluorescent visualization and evaluation of the endocytic vesicles of NPC1L1-cago during intestinal cholesterol absorption.

Purpose: Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) play a promising role in the development of new advanced materials. The growing demand of CNC-containing products in the food industry will lead to an increased human exposure through oral uptake. To date, there is a dearth of studies reporting on the risks which CNC pose to human health following ingestion.

The monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1), encoded by gene , is a proton-coupled transporter for lactate and other monocarboxylates. MCT1-mediated lactate transport was recently found to regulate various biological functions. However, how MCT1 and lactate in the intestine modulate the physiology and pathophysiology of the body is unclear.

Shiga toxin (Stx)-induced hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) poses a life-threatening complication for which a definitive treatment remains elusive. To exert its cytotoxic effect on renal cells, Stx must be delivered from the infected intestines to the kidney. However, the mechanism underlying Stx delivery remains unclear.
