FGF2 cooperates with IL-17A to promote intestinal epithelium wound healing
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The intestinal epithelial barrier plays a critical role in the mucosal immunity. However, it remains largely unknown how the epithelial barrier is maintained after damage. Here we show that FGF2 synergizes with IL-17A to induce genes for repairing of damaged epithelium. Deficiency of FGF2 or IL-17A resulted in impaired epithelial proliferation, increased pro-inflammatory microbiota outgrowth, and consequently worse pathology in a DSS-induced colitis model.
