Okumura R, Takeda K
Semin Immunopathol . 2024 Nov; 47(1):2. PMID: 39589551
In the intestinal tract, where numerous intestinal bacteria reside, intestinal epithelial cells produce and release various antimicrobial molecules that form a complex barrier on the mucosal surface. These barrier molecules...

Horikiri M, Taniguchi M, Yoshikawa H, Okumura R, Matsuzaki T
Methods Mol Biol . 2024 Feb; 2763:403-414. PMID: 38347430
Mucus is part of the innate immune system that defends the mucosa against microbiota and other infectious threats. The mechanical characteristics of mucus, such as viscosity, elasticity, and lubricity, are...

Okamoto S, Taniguchi M, Okumura R
Methods Mol Biol . 2024 Feb; 2763:71-78. PMID: 38347401
In the intestine, mucus covering the mucosa plays a critical role in maintaining gut homeostasis by protecting the mucosa from invasion by commensal bacteria. The gut mucus is composed primarily...

Nakatani A, Okumura R, Ishibashi A, Okamoto S, Sakaki K, Ito Y, et al.
Genes Cells . 2023 Sep; 28(11):776-788. PMID: 37680073
In the intestine, interleukin (IL)-23 and IL-22 from immune cells in the lamina propria contribute to maintenance of the gut epithelial barrier through the induction of antimicrobial production and the...

Taniguchi M, Okumura R, Matsuzaki T, Nakatani A, Sakaki K, Okamoto S, et al.
Mucosal Immunol . 2023 Jun; 16(5):624-641. PMID: 37385587
In the intestine, mucin 2 (Muc2) forms a network structure and prevents bacterial invasion. Glycans are indispensable for Muc2 barrier function. Among various glycosylation patterns of Muc2, sialylation inhibits bacteria-dependent...

Chalalai T, Kamiyama N, Saechue B, Sachi N, Ozaka S, Ariki S, et al.
Biochem Biophys Res Commun . 2023 Jun; 669:103-112. PMID: 37269592
Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) plays a pivotal role in the induction of inflammatory responses not only in innate immune cells but also in non-immune cells, leading to...
