“…IL‐10 negatively regulates Nox1‐derived ROS production after barrier insult (Li et al , ) as well as following TNF‐α (Kuwano et al , ; Kamizato et al , ), IFN‐γ (Kuwano et al , ; Kamizato et al , ) and LPS (O'Leary et al , ) stimulation. When Nox1 − / − mice were crossed with Il10 − / − mice, spontaneous colitis developed mimicking clinical and histological features of UC patients (Treton et al , ). Consistent with findings that Nox1 regulates the balance between goblet and absorptive cell types in the murine colon (Coant et al , ), Nox1 − / − / Il10 − / − mice displayed reduced and aberrant goblet cells and decreased Muc2 and Muc4 mucin expression in ulcerated sites of the intestine (Treton et al , ).…”
