Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We identified that transcription factor Spi-C highly express in intestinal CX3CR1high macrophages. In addition, Spi-C inhibited expression of colitogenic pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1a mRNA through the disruption of IRF5/NF-kB p65 heterodimer formation by directly interacting with IRF5 and thereby maintaining intestinal homeostasis.
