Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The life-span of matured intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) is short (3-4 days), and its regulation is thought to be important for homeostasis of the intestinal epithelium. In this study, we found that short chain fatty acids and lysophosphatidic acids regulated the life-span of IECs in the mouse small intestine. We also found that Mek-Erk signaling and Tsc2-mTORC1 signaling played a key role in regulation of life-span of IECs.
