RESEARCH DESCRIPTION
|
The intestinal epithelium is an essential functional barrier for our body by allowing the absorption of nutrients, salts and water while providing protection against pathogens. To ensure these functions, the cells of the intestinal mucosa are renewed every 5 days, subjecting the digestive tract to significant stress in the control of proliferation, differentiation and cellular organization of the intestinal epithelium. Intestinal turnover is tightly controlled and depends in particular on the spatial organization of the signals emanating from the mesenchymal support cells, in particular the fibroblasts encasing the crypt and supporting the intestinal epithelium. Homeostasis, and thus the integrity of the intestinal epithelium, is constantly challenged by 'external' environmental factors from the intestinal lumen (food additives, nutritional compounds, microbiota ...) or 'internal' (stroma genetic predisposition ...). Environmental factors promoting and / or aggravating colonic inflammation or affecting the process of epithelial cell turnover are a major source of concern. Indeed, any alteration of intestinal homeostasis will intervene in the establishment of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and tumor transformation.
The two main forms of IBD are Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). One of the major complications of IBD is colorectal cancer. On the other hand, sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer death in industrialized countries. Our research projects aim to study the environmental impact ('outside' or 'inside') on the physio (pathology) of the intestinal epithelium, the development of the inflammatory process and carcinogenesis. |
