Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research project, we analyzed the pathophysiological role of ramp2, and ramp3 using dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) -induced colitis model of various gene modified mice. Both ramp2 and ramp3 have been implicated in the DSS-induced colitis. Furthermore, we demonstrated that development of colitis is augmented by ramp3, whereas ramp2 is protective against it. Our results provide novel insights into ramp signaling in colon.
