Recent data demonstrate that Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) arises from the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factor caused by a change in the intestinal microbiota [1]
Single layered intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) establish a semipermeable intestinal barrier (IB) which allows the dual role of transporting nutrients and avoiding the passage of pathogens
Summary
Reviewed by: Girdhari Lal, National Centre for Cell Science, India Grazia Serino, University of Bari Medical School, Italy. Studies using human adipose-derived stem cells show the important role of miRNA-301a in the suppression of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 expression. MiR-301a inhibits SMAD4 expression to regulate invasion, migration in vitro as well as tumor growth in vivo in pancreatic cancer [15].
