| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We focused on surfactant, pulmonary-associated protein D (SFTPD) which encodes surfactant protein D (SP-D) and evaluated the role of SP-D in ulcerative colitis (UC) in this current study. In model mouse with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induced colitis, the serum level of SP-D was significantly higher compared with control mouse. In addition, relatively higher level of SP-D protein was observed in mucosa of colon in the mouse with DSS induced colitis mouse. Moreover, the severity of colitis induced by DSS was mitigated in SP-D deficiency mouse compared to wild mouse. Collectively, SP-D would be associated with pathogenesis and progression of UC and could be expected a target for prevention or treatment.
