Inflammatory bowel disease pathogenesis mediated by Th17 cells: cytokines, microbiota, and therapies

Ji-Hyun Park, Min Hyeok Lee, Chan-Su Park

J Biomed Transl Res 2024;25(2):15-32.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition characterized by continuous inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract that varies in intensity over time. IBD is caused by several factors including aberrant gut flora, immunological dysregulation, altered environmental conditions, and genetic variations. However, the pathogenesis of IBD remains unclear. Studies have indicated that an imbalance between T helper 17 (Th17) and regulatory T (Treg) cells contributes significantly to the development of IBD. Intestinal Tregs suppress inflammati...

Alteration of goat kids’ gut microbiota by Cryptosporidium parvum infection

Subin Lee, Badriah Alkathiri, Ah-Young Kim, Kyung-Hyo Do, Kwangwon Seo, Soochong Kim, Wan-Kyu Lee, Dongmi Kwak, Seung-Hun Lee

J Biomed Transl Res 2024;25(2):41-52.
https://doi.org/10.12729/jbtr.2024.25.2.41

Caprine cryptosporidiosis mainly occurs in young goats, with morbidity rates of 80%–100% and mortality over 50% in goat kids. However, limited research has been conducted on the impact of Cryptosporidium parvum, a diarrhea-causing pathogen, on the intestinal microbiota of goat kids. In this study, 16S rRNA-based metataxonomic analysis was performed to compare the microbial diversity and abundance of the gut microbiota between C. parvum-infected and uninfected goat kids. In total, 12 goat fecal samples were co...

Comparison of in vitro models for drug-induced liver injury assessment

Nam-Ju Kim, Ji-Hyun Bang, Hee Yi, Hyun-Ok Ku, Joong-Sun Kim, Ji-Yeon Kim, Byung-Suk Jeon

J Biomed Transl Res 2024;25(2):53-67.
https://doi.org/10.12729/jbtr.2024.25.2.53

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is considered to be a significant cause of drug wastage. To mitigate clinical DILI risks, assessing drugs using human liver models is crucial since animal studies may fall short due to species-specific liver pathway variations. Cell-based preclinical hepatotoxicity testing is often pertinent. In the present study, cells from a human liver cancer line (HepG2 and HepaRG) were cultured in both formats of 2D and 3D spheroids to explore their responses to drugs. Liver-specific marker expressions across cell lines and...

Potential use of ashwagandha extract in storage of liquid boar semen

Malavi Arachchi Gamage Nayodya Dananjanee Malavi A Gamage, Wijesooriya Mudhiyanselage Nadeema Dissanayake, Young-Joo Yi

J Biomed Transl Res 2024;25(2):79-88.
https://doi.org/10.12729/jbtr.2024.25.2.79

The functional roles of plant extracts have been investigated for the treatment of various diseases including subfertility. Recent studies have highlighted the benefits of ashwagandha extract (AE) in enhancing sperm production, boosting testosterone levels, and lowering reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in mammals. The current study is to examine the effects of the addition of AE to liquid boar semen on sperm quality during storage and its potential application in assisted reproductive technology. A hot water extract of ashwagandha was prepa...

Investigating immunization via the esophagus: carrageenan’s impact on immune activation

Taesaeng Choi

J Biomed Transl Res 2024;25(2):101-106.
https://doi.org/10.12729/jbtr.2024.25.2.101

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of carrageenan (CGN) as an oral immune adjuvant. During the initial research, the inadvertent shallow insertion of an oral gavage needle confirmed CGN’s effect as an adjuvant for esophageal immunization. However, in oral immunization, antibody formation was not observed regardless of CGN’s presence or absence as an adjuvant. Conversely, when bovine serum albumin (used as an antigen) was introduced into the esophagus along with CGN, it resulted in the production of antigen-specific IgG. An ex...
