Knockdown of Zebrafish Blood Vessel Epicardial Substance Results in Incomplete Retinal Lamination by Yu-Ching Wu, Ruei-Feng Chen, Chia-Yang Liu, Fung Rong Hu, Chang-Jen Huang, I-Jong Wang

“…In normal zebrafish, Bves is located at the apical junctions of embryonic retinal neuroepithelia during retinogenesis; later, it is strongly expressed around inner plexiform layer (IPL) and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). In contrast, a loss of normal retinal lamination and cellular polarity was found with undifferentiated photoreceptor cells in Bves knockdown zebrafish. …”

Activation and Expression of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Alpha Are Associated with Tumorigenesis in Colorectal Carcinoma by Tatsuya Morinishi, Yasunori Tokuhara, Hiroyuki Ohsaki, Emi Ibuki, Kyuichi Kadota, Eiichiro Hirakawa

“…In addition, PPAR-α was expressed in the nucleus of colorectal carcinoma cells, and the expression of nuclear PPAR-α increased in colorectal carcinoma tissue compared with that of normal epithelium tissue (P<0.01). The correlation between the expression of nuclear PPAR-α and clinicopathological factors was evaluated in human colorectal carcinoma tissues, and the nuclear expression of PPAR-α was significantly higher in well-to-moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma than in mucinous adenocarcinoma (P<0.05). …”

Steroid hormone-induced wingless ligands tune female intestinal size in Drosophila by Lisa Zipper, Bernat Corominas-Murtra, Tobias Reiff

“…Upon mating, endocrine signals orchestrate a 30% net increase of absorptive epithelium. Mating increases production of the steroid hormone Ecdysone released by the Drosophila ovaries that stimulates intestinal stem cell (ISC) divisions. …”

Nuclear-Targeting Delivery of CRISPRa System for Upregulation of β-Defensin against Virus Infection by Dexamethasone and Phenylalanine Dual-Modified Dendrimer by Mingxiang Zuo, Xiaoxia Li, Shuang Liu, Bin Chen, Du Cheng

“…In vivo experiments demonstrated that the DET- and Phe-modified dendrimer effectively delivered plasmid DNA encoding dCas9 protein into the airway epithelium, inducing β-defensin expression. Delivery of the CRISPR activation system by a dendrimer modified with DET and Phe was a promising approach against viral disease.…”

Monitoring changes in the P53 gene mutation to diagnose oral cancer by Thangavel Lakshmipriya, Subash C.B. Gopinath

“…Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common type of tumor that develops in the mucosal epithelium of the oral cavity. Approximately 377,713 OSCC cases were reported worldwide, and the incidence of OSCC is expected to increase by approximately 40 % by 2040. …”

Rational application of fructose-1,6-diphosphate: From the perspective of pharmacokinetics by Li Ting-Ting, Xie Jian-Zhong, Wang Ling, Gao Yang-Yang, Jiang Xue-Hua

“…The results suggested that plasma FDP concentration was significantly increased after oral multiple doses of 180 mg kg-1 but not 90 mg kg-1 of FDP, and FDP was partly depleted during the absorption, which was supposed to be consumed by the intestinal epithelium cells. Thus, we conclude that a high dose of FDP should be orally administered in order to get an effective plasma level.…”

Aquaporin 12 Is Expressed in the Stomach and Liver of the Spiny Dogfish (<i>Squalus acanthias</i>) by Christopher P. Cutler, Jade Bender, Sarah Conner, Esosa Omoregie

“…Immunohistochemistry in cardiac stomach tissue sections showed staining in a few sporadic paneth-like secretory cells along the surface of the epithelium. High-magnification imaging showed that the AQP12 staining was located in the membrane of secretory granules in the apical pole of the cells. …”

Influence of selected dosages of plastic microparticles on the porcine fecal microbiome by Ismena Gałęcka, Andrzej Rychlik, Jarosław Całka

“…Abstract Studies conducted so far have shown that nano- and microplastic may disturb the intestinal microenvironment by interacting with the intestinal epithelium and the gut microbiota. Depending on the research model used, the effect on the microbiome is different—an increase or decrease in selected taxa resulting in the development of dysbiosis. …”

Immunologists' Perspectives on Monogenic Inflammatory Bowel Diseases by Maryiam Jama Ali Osman, Emine Selva Aydoğdu, Rafah Mackeh, Ahmet Özen, Bernice Lo

“…Over 100 genes have been associated with mIBD, spanning various biological pathways which affect various tissues; the immune system is the most commonly involved, but more rarely, the intestinal epithelium is the primarily affected compartment. Timely diagnosis hinges on awareness and the application of contemporary molecular techniques. …”
