NCoR1 Protects Mice From Dextran Sodium Sulfate Induced Colitis by Guarding Colonic Crypt Cells From Luminal Insult

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Colonic stem cells are essential for producing the mucosal lining, which in turn protects stem cells from insult by luminal factors. Discovery of genetic and biochemical events that control stem cell proliferation and differentiation can ...

Allosteric regulation and targeting of Abl SH2-kinase interface and other cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases

Allan Joaquim Lamontanara

Due to their central role in normal cellular physiology, the activity of protein kinases is tightly regulated and their aberrant activation can lead to cancer. Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a blood cancer characterized by unregulated growth of myel ...

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 ...
