Abstract:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and relapsing disorder for many people associated with poor health. Although there are some clinical drugs for IBD treatment, the development of effective therapeutics on IBD patients has always been necessary. Here, we show that externalized phosphatidylserine (PS) is observed on the surface of colonic capillaries. Annexin A5 (ANXA5) with high affinity for PS has a good targeting to the colon and effectively alleviates experimental colitis. In contrast, ANXA5 muta… Show more
“…Thus, Annexin V(A5) (ANXA5) is a calcium-dependent protein that binds to anionic phospholipids (PS, CL, etc.). ANXA5 has been shown to effectively ameliorate TNBS-induced colitis by inhibiting inflammatory cell infiltration [ 234 ].…”
