Overview
Our lab focuses on a bile acid receptor called farnesoid X receptor (FXR), and the role it plays in intestinal inflammatory injury and recovery. FXR is a key bile acid receptor that influences the intestinal epithelial barrier and the intestinal innate immune system. We have shown that in acute, inflammatory injury, FXR knock-out animals are protected from barrier dysfunction. These animals have improved tight junctional protein organization and decreased proinflammatory cytokine production.
