Faecalibacterium prausnitzii promotes intestinal epithelial IL-18 production through activation of the HIF1α pathway

IntroductionIntestinal epithelial cells produce interleukin-18 (IL-18), a key factor in promoting epithelial barrier integrity. Here, we analyzed the potential role of gut bacteria and the hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) pathway in regulating mucosal IL18 expression in inflammatory bowel disease...
