| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
GPR35 activation promoted wound repair by colonic epithelial cells, and ameliorated onset of DSS-induced colitis via coupling of Gi protein, decrease in cAMP, upregulation of fibronectin and integrin α5 expression, and ERK phosphorylation in colonic epithelial cells. GPR40 stimulation was effective in both onset and mucosal healing of DSS-induced colitis, mediated by increase in GLP-2 production. Our results indicates that lipid G protein-coupled receptors such as GPR35 and GPR40 may be novel candidates for therapeutic target in inflammatory bowel disease.
