Sox9-regulated cell plasticity in colorectal metastasis is attenuated by rapamycin [PDF]
The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis proposes a hierarchical organization of tumors, in which stem-like cells sustain tumors and drive metastasis.

A8 REPEATED SUBMERGENCE OF AIR-LIQUID INTERFACE COLONOID CULTURES IMPAIRS INFLAMMATORY AND REGENERATIVE RESPONSES [PDF]
Abstract Background Damage in the intestinal epithelium is repaired via de-differentiation of mature intestinal epithelial cells to a stem-like state. Indeed, literature has primarily focused on acute forms of intestinal damage, but there is a lack of models to study how intestinal stem cells function

The StcE metalloprotease of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli reduces the inner mucus layer and promotes adherence to human colonic epithelium ex vivo [PDF]
Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) is a major foodborne pathogen and tightly adheres to human colonic epithelium by forming attaching/effacing lesions.

Lgr5+ intestinal stem cell sorting and organoid culture
Intestinal epithelial stem cells (IESCs) are one of the most rapidly self‐renewing and proliferating adult stem cells. The IESCs reside at the bottom of intestinal and colonic crypts, giving rise to all intestinal epithelial lineages and maintaining ...

Tyrosine-Based Signals Regulate the Assembly of Daple⋅PARD3 Complex at Cell-Cell Junctions. [PDF]
Polarized distribution of organelles and molecules inside a cell is vital for a range of cellular processes and its loss is frequently encountered in disease.

SUMMARYChronic exposure to environmental toxins and heavy metals has been associated with intestinal inflammation, increased susceptibility to pathogen-induced diseases, and higher incidences of colorectal cancer, all of which have been steadily increasing in prevalence for the past 40 years. The negative effects of heavy metals on barrier permeability

Human Colonoid Monolayers to Study Interactions Between Pathogens, Commensals, and Host Intestinal Epithelium [PDF]
Human 3-dimensional (3D) enteroid or colonoid cultures derived from crypt base stem cells are currently the most advanced ex vivo model of the intestinal epithelium. Due to their closed structures and significant supporting extracellular matrix, 3D cultures are not ideal for host-pathogen studies.

IL-27 induces an IFN-like signature in murine macrophages which in turn modulate colonic epithelium
Mucosal delivery of IL-27 has been shown to have a therapeutic benefit in murine models of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The IL-27 effect was associated with phosphorylated STAT1 (pSTAT1), a product of IL27 receptor signaling, in bowel tissue.

Long-term culture of intestinal cell progenitors: an overview of their development, application, and associated technologies [PDF]
Purpose of Review Long-term culture of adult progenitor cells in 3D is a recently emerging technology that inhabits the space between 2D cell lines and organ slice culture.
