Introduction: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) via dysbiosis of the gut microbiome and weakening of the epithelial and mucosal barriers. Although the causative nature of IBD remains unknown, several studies have demonstrated that aberrant host-microRNA (miRNA) activity contributes to its pathophysiology. For example, miRNA-21 contributes to IBD through three mechanisms. Firstly, by increasing gut permeability via the ARF4 pathway. Secondly, by decreasing gut mucosal secretions via interfering with host goblet cells. Finally, by regulating proteins that inhibit host autophagy and decreasing immune response via the Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog (PTEN) and Akt pathway. The proposed study aims to answer the following question: how does aberrant expression of miRNA-21 in IBD contribute to the disease? Methods: This review highlights and summarizes relevant studies on the miRNA-21 regulation of key pathways in the pathogenesis of IBD. Searches used electronic databases including PubMed, and Google Scholar for keywords such as “Inflammatory bowel disease” and “miRNA-21” and other additional relevant terms from years 2016 to 2022. Review papers that met our criteria and the relevant papers they referenced, regardless of their publication date, were manually searched for. Figures were made in part using KeyNote and Serveir Medical Art. Discussion: Intracellular pathways contribute to chronic inflammation in IBD such as the PTEN pathway and pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α. These pathways have been shown to influence the mucosal barrier, epithelial barrier, and the immune system in the gut. These pathways are regulated by miRNA-21, demonstrating miRNA-21 as a key regulator in IBD. Both PTEN and TNF-α also contribute to levels of angiogenesis in the gut through the regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), further demonstrating the intricacies of the miRNA-21 pathway regulation in IBD. Conclusion: The research highlighted in this review provides insight into the mechanisms of aberrant miRNA expression in IBD. Furthermore, knowledge of such molecular mechanisms has clinical and research applications, including identifying diagnostic biomarkers, less invasive screening techniques, and novel drug therapies.
简介:炎症性肠病(IBD)以胃肠道(GIT)慢性炎症为特征,通过肠道微生物群失调和上皮和粘膜屏障减弱。尽管IBD的致病性质尚不清楚,但一些研究表明,异常的宿主microrna (miRNA)活性有助于IBD的病理生理。例如,miRNA-21通过三种机制促进IBD。首先,通过ARF4途径增加肠道通透性。其次,通过干扰宿主杯状细胞减少肠道黏膜分泌物。最后,通过Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog (PTEN)和Akt通路调节抑制宿主自噬和降低免疫反应的蛋白。拟议的研究旨在回答以下问题:miRNA-21在IBD中的异常表达如何导致该疾病?方法:本文重点综述了miRNA-21调控IBD发病关键通路的相关研究。使用PubMed和Google Scholar等电子数据库搜索2016年至2022年的“炎症性肠病”和“miRNA-21”等关键词以及其他相关术语。符合我们标准的综述论文及其引用的相关论文,无论其发表日期如何,都是手工检索的。人物部分使用KeyNote和serir医学艺术制作。讨论:细胞内通路有助于IBD的慢性炎症,如PTEN通路和促炎细胞因子如TNF-α。这些途径已被证明影响肠道粘膜屏障、上皮屏障和免疫系统。这些通路受miRNA-21调控,表明miRNA-21是IBD的关键调控因子。PTEN和TNF-α也通过调节血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)和缺氧诱导因子(HIF)来促进肠道血管生成水平,进一步证明了miRNA-21通路在IBD中调控的复杂性。结论:本综述重点研究了IBD中miRNA异常表达的机制。此外,这种分子机制的知识具有临床和研究应用,包括识别诊断性生物标志物,低侵入性筛选技术和新型药物治疗。

Our goal at Women in Science and Engineering – University of Toronto Chapter is to support and empower all women in STEM fields and to help them achieve their full potential as future engineers, entrepreneurs, scientists, and leaders. Since its inception in 1999, the organization has developed into one of the largest and highly regarded campus organizations with over 1500 members to champion gender equity, counter biases, and build confidence in all STEM fields. Our annual National Conference aims to empower and inspire individuals to pursue their passions, explore new opportunities, and to make meaningful, lasting connections. One of the events we hold at the conference is the 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) competition, which challenges undergraduate and graduate delegates to present their research in three minutes with one static slide to a non-specialist audience. This abstract book features the research that some of the 3MT competitors presented at the WISE National Conference 2023.
