Toxicity and translocation of Ag, CuO, ZnO and TiO2 nanoparticles upon exposure to fish intestinal epithelial cells

Understanding the ability of fish intestinal cells to act as a barrier for nanoparticle (NP) uptake and their effects is of significance from an environmental perspective as well as for human health, for which fish serves as an important nutrient source. W ...

The impact of synthetic amorphous silica (E 551) on differentiated Caco-2 cells, a model for the human intestinal epithelium

Heinrich Hofmann

For several decades, food-grade synthetic amorphous silica (SAS) have been used as a technological additive to reduce caking of food powders. Human exposure is thus inevitable and safety concerns are taken seriously. The toxicity of silica in general and S ...

What is the role of fish intestine as environment-organism barrier? Mechanistic investigations using fish intestinal cells on a chip

Carolin Drieschner

The gut of fish belongs to the most essential barriers that mark the border between the organism and its surrounding environment. The pivotal barrier function, allowing to absorb nutrients from the diet while simultaneously protecting the organism from pat ...

FIBCD1 Binds Aspergillus fumigatus and Regulates Lung Epithelial Response to Cell Wall Components

Lalit Kumar Dubey

Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) is a ubiquitous fungus of clinical importance associated with development of various pulmonary diseases and allergic hypersensitivity reactions. It is protected against environmental stress by a cell wall that contains ...

Loss of Sirt1 function improves intestinal anti-bacterial defense and protects from colitis-induced colorectal cancer

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Laurent Mouchiroud, Dongryeol Ryu, Elena Katsyuba, Alessandra Piersigilli, Giuseppe Lo Sasso

Dysfunction of Paneth and goblet cells in the intestine contributes to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC). Here, we report a role for the NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase SIRT1 in the control of anti-bacterial ...

Microfluidic chip for monitoring Ca2+ transport through a confluent layer of intestinal cells

Martinus Gijs, Paolo Silacci, Hüseyin Cumhur Tekin, Josias Basil Wacker, Christine Ruffert, Guy Vergères

The absorption of dietary calcium through the intestinal barrier is essential for maintaining health in general and especially of the bone system. We propose a microfluidic model that studies free calcium (Ca2+) transport through a confluent monolayer of C ...

Jagged1 is the major regulator of notch-dependent cell fate in proximal airways

Freddy Radtke

Background: The Notch signaling pathway plays complex roles in developing lungs, including regulation of proximodistal fates, airway cell specification and differentiation. However, the specific Notch-mediated signals involved in lung development remain un ...

Dll1- and Dll4-mediated Notch signaling is required for homeostasis of intestinal stem cells

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch, Luca Pellegrinet, Shuang Chen

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Ablation of Notch signaling within the intestinal epithelium results in loss of proliferating crypt progenitors, due to their conversion into post-mitotic secretory cells. We aimed to confirm that Notch was active in stem cells (SC), inv ...

The Intestinal Epithelium : Role of Notch Signaling

Luca Pellegrinet

The mammalian intestine is a prototype of a self-renewing organ. The rapid cellular turnover is supported by proliferating progenitors located in the intestinal crypt, which is also the stem cell location. Homeostasis of the intestinal epithelium has to be ...

Effects of dynamic compression on lentiviral transduction in an in vitro airway wall model

Melody Swartz, Alice Anna Tomei

Asthmatic patients are more susceptible to viral infection, and we asked whether dynamic strain on the airway wall (such as that associated with bronchoconstriction) would influence the rate of viral infection of the epithelial and subepithelial cells. To ...

Extracellular Matrix Remodeling by Dynamic Strain in a 3D Tissue Engineered Human Airway Wall Model

Melody Swartz

Airway wall remodeling is a hallmark of asthma, characterized by subepithelial thickening and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Mechanical stress due to hyperresponsive smooth muscle cells may contribute to this remodeling, but its extent and relevanc ...

Notch/gamma-secretase inhibition turns proliferative cells in intestinal crypts and adenomas into goblet cells

Freddy Radtke

The self-renewing epithelium of the small intestine is ordered into stem/progenitor crypt compartments and differentiated villus compartments. Recent evidence indicates that the Wnt cascade is the dominant force in controlling cell fate along the crypt-vil ...
