Abstract

Intestinal tight junction disruption and mucosal immune dysregulation contribute to pathogenesis and progression of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). A proteolytic enzyme matrix metalloproteinase 7 (MMP-7), which is highly expressed in intestinal tissue, is implicated to IBD and other immune overactivation-associated diseases. In the issue of the Frontiers in Immunology, Ying Xiao and colleagues demonstrate that MMP-7-mediated claudin-7 degradation promotes IBD pathogenesis and disease progression. Therefore, inhibition of MMP-7 enzymatic activity can be a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of IBD.

基质金属蛋白酶-7和Claudin-7是恢复炎症性肠病肠道上皮屏障的新型治疗靶点。

肠道紧密连接破坏和粘膜免疫失调是炎症性肠病（IBD）的发病机理和发展过程。一种在肠道组织中高表达的蛋白水解酶基质金属蛋白酶7（MMP-7）与IBD和其他免疫过度激活相关疾病有关。在本期《免疫学前沿》（Frontiers in Immunology）杂志上，Ying Xiao及其同事证明了MMP-7介导的claudin-7降解促进了IBD的发病机制和疾病进展。因此，抑制 MMP-7 的酶活性可以成为治疗 IBD 的一种治疗策略。

期刊介绍： Tissue Barriers is the first international interdisciplinary journal that focuses on the architecture, biological roles and regulation of tissue barriers and intercellular junctions. We publish high quality peer-reviewed articles that cover a wide range of topics including structure and functions of the diverse and complex tissue barriers that occur across tissue and cell types, including the molecular composition and dynamics of polarized cell junctions and cell-cell interactions during normal homeostasis, injury and disease state. Tissue barrier formation in regenerative medicine and restoration of tissue and organ function is also of interest. Tissue Barriers publishes several categories of articles including: Original Research Papers, Short Communications, Technical Papers, Reviews, Perspectives and Commentaries, Hypothesis and Meeting Reports. Reviews and Perspectives/Commentaries will typically be invited. We also anticipate to publish special issues that are devoted to rapidly developing or controversial areas of research. Suggestions for topics are welcome. Tissue Barriers objectives: Promote interdisciplinary awareness and collaboration between researchers working with epithelial, epidermal and endothelial barriers and to build a broad and cohesive worldwide community of scientists interesting in this exciting field. Comprehend the enormous complexity of tissue barriers and map cross-talks and interactions between their different cellular and non-cellular components. Highlight the roles of tissue barrier dysfunctions in human diseases. Promote understanding and strategies for restoration of tissue barrier formation and function in regenerative medicine. Accelerate a search for pharmacological enhancers of tissue barriers as potential therapeutic agents. Understand and optimize drug delivery across epithelial and endothelial barriers.
