Chuchu Yu, Yuqing Pan, Aojie Mao, Yu Zhao, Qiaohong Liu, Yiyang Hu

TL;DR
This review explores how MAdCAM-1/α4β7 influences lymphocyte migration in inflammatory gut and liver diseases and discusses potential treatments.
Contribution
The paper provides a comprehensive review of MAdCAM-1/α4β7's role in lymphocyte migration and its therapeutic targeting in inflammatory diseases.
Findings
MAdCAM-1/α4β7 binding drives lymphocyte migration, contributing to inflammatory bowel and liver diseases.
Intestinal microbiota and its metabolites are linked to MAdCAM-1/α4β7 activity in these diseases.
Monoclonal antibodies and small molecule drugs targeting MAdCAM-1/α4β7 show promise for treatment.
Abstract
Inflammation drives the development of multiple inflammatory enterohepatic diseases. The recruitment of immune cells to inflammatory tissues is essential for maintaining immune homeostasis, mediating immune responses and regulating inflammation. MAdCAM-1/α4β7 is a pair of homing ligand and receptor that plays important roles in lymphocyte migration. Their binding induces lymphocytes to cross endothelial structures into corresponding lymphoid tissues, contributing to the inflammatory response. Aberrant lymphocyte migration due to excessive binding is closely related to the occurrence and development of inflammatory bowel disease and liver inflammation. In this review, we focus on the activation of α4β7 and binding to MAdCAM-1 how to induce the migration of multiple kinds of lymphocytes. Additionally, we describe the intestinal microbiota and its metabolites associated with MAdCAM-1/α4β7…
