The intestinal barrier is composed of a complex cell network defining highly compartmentalized and specialized structures. Here, we use spatial transcriptomics to define how the transcriptomic landscape is spatially organized in the steady state and healing murine colon. At steady state conditions, we demonstrate a previously unappreciated molecular regionalization of the colon, which dramatically changes during mucosal healing. Here, we identified spatially-organized transcriptional programs defining compartmentalized mucosal healing, and regions with dominant wired pathways. Furthermore, we showed that decreased p53 activation defined areas with increased presence of proliferating epithelial stem cells. Finally, we mapped transcriptomics modules associated with human diseases demonstrating the translational potential of our dataset. Overall, we provide a publicly available resource defining principles of transcriptomic regionalization of the colon during mucosal healing and a framework to develop and progress further hypotheses.
Cytochrome P450 (CYP P450) enzymes are a superfamily of mono-oxygenases that are found in all kingdoms of life. The CYP P450
enzymes constitute a large superfamily of haem-thiolate proteins involved in the metabolism of a wide variety of both
exogenous and endogenous compounds. The CYP activities have been shown to be involved in numerous interactions especially
between drugs and herbal constituents. The majority of serious cases of drug interactions are as a result of the
interference of the metabolic clearance of one drug by yet another co-administered drug, food or natural product. Gaining
mechanistic knowledge towards such interactions has been accepted as an approach to avoid adverse reactions. The inductions
and inhibition of CYP enzymes by natural products in the presence of a prescribed drug has led to adverse effects. Herbal
medicines such as St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum), garlic (Allium sativa),
piperine (from Piper sp.), ginseng (Ginseng sp.), gingko (Gingko biloba),
soya beans (Glycine max), alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and grape fruit juice show clinical
interactions when co-administered with medicines. This review documents the involvement of CYP enzymes in the metabolism of
known available drugs and herbal products. We also document the interactions between herbal constituents & CYP
enzymes showing potential drug-herb interactions. Data on CYP450 enzymes in activation (i.e. induction or inhibition) with
natural constituents is also reviewed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
