  • B Inhibition in a Mouse Model of Chronic Colitis1
    The Journal of Immunology Differential Expression of Inflammatory and Fibrogenic Genes and Their Regulation by NF-␬B Inhibition in a Mouse Model of Chronic Colitis1 Feng Wu and Shukti Chakravarti2 Fibrosis is a major complication of chronic inflammation, as seen in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, two forms of inflam- matory bowel diseases. To elucidate inflammatory signals that regulate fibrosis, we investigated gene expression changes under- lying chronic inflammation and fibrosis in trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced murine colitis. Six weekly 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid enemas were given to establish colitis and temporal gene expression patterns were obtained at 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-wk time points. The 6-wk point, TNBS-w6, was the active, chronic inflammatory stage of the model marked by macrophage, neu- trophil, and CD3؉ and CD4؉ T cell infiltrates in the colon, consistent with the idea that this model is T cell immune response driven. Proinflammatory genes Cxcl1, Ccl2, Il1b, Lcn2, Pla2g2a, Saa3, S100a9, Nos2, Reg2, and Reg3g, and profibrogenic extra- cellular matrix genes Col1a1, Col1a2, Col3a1, and Lum (lumican), encoding a collagen-associated proteoglycan, were up-regulated at the active/chronic inflammatory stages. Rectal administration of the NF-␬B p65 antisense oligonucleotide reduced but did not abrogate inflammation and fibrosis completely. The antisense oligonucleotide treatment reduced total NF-␬B by 60% and down- regulated most proinflammatory genes. However, Ccl2, a proinflammatory chemokine known to promote fibrosis, was not down- regulated. Among extracellular matrix gene expressions Lum was suppressed while Col1a1 and Col3a1 were not. Thus, effective treatment of fibrosis in inflammatory bowel disease may require early and complete blockade of NF-␬B with particular attention to specific proinflammatory and profibrogenic genes that remain active at low levels of NF-␬B.

Tolstoy, Stavropol, Russia, 355000 Tula, Russia, 300026 [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Relevance. One of the tendencies of modern higher education is the digitization of all spheres of vital activity of modern Russian society. The process of inevitable “digitalization” changes the forms, means and types of education in the system of higher education. One of the inno- vative areas can be the organization of research work of students in the digital educational environment of students of IT training areas. The purpose of the article is a pedagogical understanding and develop- ment of recommendations on the use of a system-activity approach to the organization of research work of students in the digital educational environment of an educational organization.
