Research Abstract |
In this study, the roles of ADAMs in inflammatory bowel diseases are investigated. In vitro induction experiments, ADAM28 was induced by inflammatory cytokines and enhanced the HL-60 cell binding to P-selectin-coated wells. On the other hand, ADAM17flox/flox/MX1-Cre+ mice were highly susceptible to the development of colitis induced by DSS compared with wild type mice, which might be due to increased colonic mucosa destruction. These data suggest that ADAMs may play significant roles in regulating the inflammation and regeneration in inflammatory bowel diseases.
