As a stress alleviator, wheat MINPP1 can enhance cell viability by releasing IL-8 or IL-6 in a human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line, HT-29 exposed to inflammatory nucleotides such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and uridine diphosphate (UDP), suggesting that MINPP1 might be a modulator of the growth and functions of intestinal epithelial cells under luminal ATP and UDP stimuli in the gut [58]. The gene discussed is MINPP1; the disease is colorectal adenocarcinoma.
