High-Fat Diet-Induced Liver-Gut Crosstalk Suppresses Autophagy and Exacerbates Colitis [colon]

The goal of this project is to investigate the mechanisms through which high fat diet (HFD) exacerbates colitis via the liver-gut axis, particularly focusing on liver dysregulated lipid metabolism and intestinal autophagy. We examined colon transcriptomes of C57BL6/J mice fed a control diet (CD) or HFD with or without dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) by RNA seq analysis. The colon mRNA profile of DSS-induced mice that treatd with CD and HFD by RNA sequencing.
