CD8+ T Cell-Derived Perforin Exacerbates Dysbiosis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease via β-Hydroxybutyrate Suppression in Mouse Colonic Epithelium
1 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Background: The etiology and pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are generally thought to be related to immune dysfunction and intestinal microbiota dysbiosis. However, the exact mechanisms remain unclear. Methods: We applied a DSS-induced colitis model in wild-type and perforin-deficient ( Prf1−/− ) mice. Adoptive transfer experiments and metabolic profiling were conducted, and 16S rRNA gene...
