<i>Bacteroides fragilis</i> Enterotoxin Upregulates Matrix Metalloproteinase-7 Expression through MAPK and AP-1 Activation in Intestinal Epithelial Cells, Leading to Syndecan-2 Release

<i>Bacteroides fragilis</i> enterotoxin (BFT) produced by enterotoxigenic <i>B. fragilis</i> (ETBF) causes colonic inflammation. BFT initially contacts intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and affects the intestinal barrier. Although molecular components of the gut epithelial b...
