Intestinal epithelial suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 enhances microbial-induced inflammatory tumor necrosis factor-α, contributing to epithelial barrier dysfunction

A single layer of intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) lines the entire gastrointestinal tract and provides the first line of defense and barrier against an abundance of microbial stimuli. IEC homeostasis and repair are mediated through microbe-sensing Toll-like receptor (TLR)-induced inflammatory path...
