Article Title: Pro-inflammatory T cells-derived cytokines enhance the maturation of the human fetal intestinal epithelial barrier
doi: 10.1016/j.isci.2024.109909
Figure Lengend Snippet: Inflammatory cytokines are upstream regulators of gene expression changes between neonatal and fetal stages and induce increased expression of brush border, absorption, and mucosal defense markers in vitro (A) Ingenuity pathway analysis showed inflammatory cytokines IFNγ, TNFα, IL1β, and TGFβ1 as upstream regulators of intestinal changes between late and early gestational age tissue and between neonatal versus fetal tissue. Activation Z score is presented by number and color. Orange color represents activation status of upstream regulator while blue signifies inhibition. (B–K) RT-qPCR analyses of maturation markers in proximal (red) and distal (blue) small intestine HFOs of (B and C) IAP , (D and E) LCT , (F and G) SIS , (H and I) FABP6 and (J and K) PIGR . n = 12 independent donors, data are plotted as paired values of individual cultures. ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001 as determined by non-parametric one-way ANOVA.

Article Snippet: HFOs donors were stimulated for 72 h with the following cytokines: recombinant human (rh) IFNγ 0,5 ng/ml (R&D systems, cat#285-IF), rhTNFα 2ng/ml (Peprotech, cat#:300-01A), rhIL1β 5 ng/ml (Thermo Fisher Scientific, cat#PHC0814), rhTGFβ 5 ng/ml (Peprotech, cat#:100-21A).
