HIF1A and colitis: In addition, THY1 promotes apoptosis through the Bcl-2/Bax/Cleaved caspase-3 pathway and promotes angiogenesis via upregulation of HIF-1α and VEGF expression in DSS-induced colitis.<h4>Conclusions</h4>THY1 promotes the occurrence and development of acute colitis induced by DSS in mice by regulating macrophage polarization, intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis, and inflammatory angiogenesis, providing a new perspective for the study of the pathogenesis of IBD.
