Furthermore, a role for Tff1 as a scavenger for ROS/RNS could also be the reason why Tff1 is ectopically expressed during various inflammatory conditions in mice, such as encephalitis, asthma, pancreatitis, and in the murine spleen after Toxoplasma gondii infection [39,56,57,58]. This evidence concerns the gene TFF1 and viral encephalitis.
