Vitamin D has been proposed to attenuate chemotherapy-induced gastrointestinal mucositis (GM). In the intestine, local catabolism of active vitamin D [1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃] is mediated by the enzyme Cyp24a1. This study assessed whether deletion of Cyp24a1 specifically in intestinal epithelial cells can protect against 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced intestinal injury and microbiome disruption in mice.

Background: Mucosal healing (MH) is a key treatment goal in Crohn's disease (CD). However, evidence on pan-enteric MH (PE-MH) in CD patients treated with vedolizumab remains limited. We aimed to assess vedolizumab efficacy in achieving PE-MH using PillCam Crohn's capsule.

Pirin is a nonheme iron-binding protein with a variety of proposed functions, including serving as a coactivator of p65 NFκB and quercetinase activity. We report here, failure to confirm pirin's primary proposed mechanism, binding of Fe(III)-pirin and p65. Analytical size exclusion chromatography and fluorescence polarization studies did not detect an interaction.

Background: This study seeks to provide preclinical evidence demonstrating the potential of Antrocinol, a derivative of antrocin derived from the active compound of Antrodia cinnamomea, as a promising small-molecule drug candidate for overcoming drug-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: We developed Lenvatinib-resistant Huh-7 and HepG cell lines (Huh-7/LR, HepG2/LR) to evaluate their viability and apoptotic response to Antrocinol. Autophagy-dependent cell death was assessed in Huh-7/LR cells using Z-VAD-FMK and shATG5 transfection.
