However, the mechanism of chronic inflammation mediated by angiogenesis still remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the crucial role and specific mechanism of the angiogenesis-related target THY1 in the development of acute colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in mice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Lentivirus-based systems were utilized to achieve both knockdown and overexpression of THY1 to explore the functional roles of THY1 in IBD development based on DSS-induced colitis mice model and co-culture system of intestinal epithelial cells and macrophages.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>THY1 significantly promotes DSS-induced colitis in the experimental mouse model. Silencing of the THY1 significantly reversed the inflammatory response, oxidative stress level, and angiogenic activity in DSS-induced colitis, whereas overexpression of THY1 further exacerbating the reactions related to inflammation, oxidative stress, and angiogenesis. Mechanism research showed that THY1 promotes the pathological process of DSS-induced colitis through inhibiting M2 macrophage polarization. In addition, THY1 promotes apoptosis through the Bcl-2\/Bax\/Cleaved caspase-3 pathway and promotes angiogenesis via upregulation of HIF-1\u03b1 and VEGF expression in DSS-induced colitis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>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.
