Abstract:Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a devastating chronic disease characterized by aberrant colonic inflammation and intestinal dysbiosis. The pathognomonic ulceration as well as intestinal epithelial damage is driven by excess luminal infiltration and activation of neutrophils. Recently our group discovered a system of lipid mediators regulating transmigration of neutrophils from the colonic lamina propria across the epithelial barrier. During homeostasis the multidrug resistance efflux pump p-glycoprotien (P-gp) main… Show more
