GPR4 knockout attenuates intestinal inflammation and forestalls the development of colitis-associated colorectal cancer in murine models

Preprint · 2023 GPR4 is a proton-sensing G protein-coupled receptor highly expressed in vascular endothelial cells and has been shown to potentiate intestinal inflammation in murine colitis models. Herein, we evaluated the proinflammatory role of GPR4 in the development o ... Full text Cite

Pharmacological inhibition of GPR4 remediates intestinal inflammation in a mouse colitis model

Preprint · 2019 Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic, recurring inflammation of the digestive tract. Current therapeutic approaches are limited and include biologics and steroids such as anti-TNFα monoclonal antibodies and corticosteroids, respecti ... Full text Cite

The proton-sensing GPR4 receptor regulates paracellular gap formation and permeability of vascular endothelial cells

Preprint · 2019 Tissue acidosis can be a consequence of numerous disease states including stroke, myocardial infarction, limb ischemia, and inflammation. Blood vessels existing in the affected tissues are associated with the progression of acidosis-related diseases. Howev ... Full text Cite

TDAG8 (GPR65) Inhibits Intestinal Inflammation in the DSS-Induced Experimental Colitis Mouse Model

Preprint · 2018 T cell death-associated gene 8 (TDAG8, also known as GPR65) is a proton-sensing G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) predominantly expressed in immune cells. Genome-wide association studies identify TDAG8 as a susceptibility candidate gene linked to several h ... Full text Cite
