Impaired Autophagy in Intestinal Epithelial Cells Alters Gut Microbiota and Host Immune Responses
16 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
The homeostasis of host-microbiota interactions is of great importance to host health. Previous studies demonstrated that disruption of autophagy was linked to inflammatory bowel disease. However, the interaction mechanism of gut microbiota regulated by autophagy was obscure. In an intestinal epithelium-specific autophagy-related 5 (Atg5) knockout mouse model, we observed a significant alteration and decreased...
