MTOR and colitis: Similar effects on body weight loss were observed in both LSECtin ΔMφ mice and LSECtin-WT mice when mTORC1 activity was inhibited during DSS-induced colitis, suggesting that LSECtin and mTOR may be involved in the same pathway, and that LSECtin participates in macrophage engulfment of apoptotic cells and regulates intestinal regeneration by activating the mTORC1 pathway.
