Extract of Ilex rotunda Thunb alleviates experimental colitis-associated cancer via suppressing inflammation-induced miR-31-5p/YAP overexpression
Conclusion: The present study suggests that WIR exerts intestinal anti-inflammatory and CAC preventive effects in an experimental CAC mouse model. The CAC preventive effect can be attributed to the suppression of hippo pathway activated by the inflammatory cytokines, indicating that WIR can be potentially used as an herbal product for CAC prevention. Therefore, there is an emergent need for further evaluation of the main components in WIR to determine the definite bioactive component responsible for the CAC preventive activity.Graphical abstract
