    Antibody targeting TSLP suppresses DSS-induced colitis and activation of the JAK2/STAT5 pathway in mice

    Wei Zhuang, Zhen Li

    European Cytokine Network, Vol.34, No.4, pp. 46-53, 2023, DOI:10.1684/ecn.2023.0489

    Abstract Background: There is currently no safe or effective treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which is defined as recurrent and persistent intestinal inflammation. Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) has been shown to be associated with the pathogenesis of IBD, and the JAK2/STAT5 signalling pathway has demonstrated much promise as a novel therapeutic target for IBD. Materials and Methods: In this study, we first evaluated levels of TSLP in dextran sodium sulphate (DSS)-induced IBD mice. Second, we applied tezepelumab, an anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody (20 µg per mouse, intraperitoneally), to DSS-induced IBD mice and quantified the signs of histopathological change,… More >

    ABSTRACT

    Autodigestion in Physiological Shock, Organ Dysfunction and Death

    Erik B. Kistler1, Geert W. Schmid-Schönbein2,*

    Molecular & Cellular Biomechanics, Vol.16, Suppl.2, pp. 8-8, 2019, DOI:10.32604/mcb.2019.07256

    Abstract A longstanding question in research on organ failure after physiological shock (such as trauma, burns, sepsis, surgery and medical emergencies) is the underlying mechanism for a progressive loss of cell and tissue functions. Our systematic analysis of this problem has served to identify digestive enzymes as key players [1, 2]. After synthesis and discharge from the pancreas, the digestive enzymes are usually contained inside the lumen of the small intestine where they break down food every day. Escape of the digestive enzymes out of the lumen of the intestine is kept to a minimum by… More >
