Core Tip |
The lack of therapeutic targets has limited the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Parasitic nematode infections can ameliorate clinical and experimental colitis. Our previous study found that rSj16, a 16-kDa secreted protein of Schistosoma japonicum produced by Escherichia coli, has protective effects on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. We found that rSj16 can inhibit DSS-induced apoptosis in the colons of mice with colitis. In addition, we found that the inhibitory effect of rSj16 on apoptosis was associated with decreased miR-217-5p, and that hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 beta was increased after treatment with rSj16. These results highlight a novel therapeutic target that may be used to treat IBD. |
