Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) is a negative regulator of thioredoxin. However, its role in the gastrointestinal (GI) epithelium is as yet unknown. Using in situ hybridization, we demonstrated that mRNA of TXNIP was differentially expressed in the epithelium of the human GI tract. TXNIP transcript was especially prominent in terminal differentiated cells. TXNIP was also highly expressed in lymphocytes in the lymphoid follicles. Our results suggest a new potential role of TXNIP in the differentiation of epithelial cells and in mucosal immunity of the GI tract. (J Histochem Cytochem 51:973–976, 2003)

Key Words: gastrointestinal tract, in situ hybridization, mucosal immunity, VDUP1, TBP-2
