MMP-12 siRNA improves the homeostasis of the small intestine and metabolic dysfunction in high-fat diet feeding-induced obese mice
Biomaterials. 2021 Oct 11;278:121183. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2021.121183. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe changes of small intestinal homeostasis have been recognized to contribute essentially to the obese development. However, the core small intestinal regulator which mediates over-nutrient impacts on the homeostasis of the small intestines remains elusive. Here, we identify the MMP-12 as such a responsive factor in mouse small intestines. Taking advantages of the nano delivery system, we demonstrate that small intestine-specific MMP-12 knockdown alleviates high-fat diet feeding-induced metabolic disorders and impr...
