1,3- and 1,4-linked Polysaccharides Uptake in Intestinal Cells Relies on Clathrin/Dynamin 1/Rab5-dependent Endocytosis

Wenfeng Liao, Dianxiu Cao, Ying Wang, Zhenyun Du, Yao Jx, Pengfei Dou, Yuandong Zheng, Zhiming Wang, Xia Chen, Peipei Wang, Chungwah Ma, Hao Chen, Xingxing Diao, Kaiping Wang, Kan Ding

Orally administered β-1,3- and α-1,4-linked polysaccharides cross intestinal epithelium into rodent plasma and liver as macromolecules via clathrin-, dynamin 1-, and Rab5-dependent endocytosis mediated by EGFR, Dectin-1, and BMPRIA.

D-glucuronyl C5-epimerase binds to EGFR to suppress kidney fibrosis

Xiaoqi Jing, Jun Wu, Jingru Ning, Xiaoyu Ding, Zhenyun Du, Xiaojiang Wang, Lulin Huang, Ran Wang, Changlin Mei, Kan Ding

This study identifies Glce as a key regulator of kidney fibrosis by binding to EGFR and inhibiting EMT through the TGF-β/Smad pathway, independent of its enzymatic activity.
