Gelsolin regulates intestinal stem cell regeneration and Th17 cellular function.

ABSTRACT: Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) are responsible for intestinal homeostasis and are important for the regeneration of damaged intestine. We established an ionizing radiation (IR)-induced intestinal injury model and observed that Gelsolin KO mice had increased radiosensitivity. The deletion of Gelsolin aggravated intestinal damage and reduced the number of ISCs after lethal IR. The intestinal organoid experiments showed that Gelsolin deletion inhibited ISCs function after IR. Notably, RNA sequencing and RT-PCR results showed IL-17 signaling pathway was down-regulated and Th17 cells differentiation was inhibited in Gelsolin KO mice. Moreover, recombinant IL-17 A ameliorated IR-induced intestinal injury and promoted ISCs regeneration. To figure out the role of Gelsolin in Th17 cells differentiati
