Core Tip
Core tip: In this study, the following factors were identified: (1) The differentiation of intestinal stem cells in injured gut was determined by detecting Lgr5+ cells; (2) Th1-Th2-Th17-Tregs-related inflammatory and immune cytokine expressions in serum and local intestinal tissues were determined; (3) A Th2 shift and correction of the imbalanced Th17/Tregs were found; (4) Master regulators of Th1, Th2, Th17 and Tregs were detected in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells -treated trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced colitis; and (5) The passways of Th1-T-bet, Th2-GATA family of transcription factors 3, Th17-retinoid related orphan receptor gamma(t) and Tregs-Foxp3 which serve as important immunoregulators in the correction of immune disorders and enhance the healing of injured intestinal mucosa were identified.
