Professor Takehiro Torisu's research lab focuses on gastrointestinal immunology and mucosal inflammation, with a particular emphasis on the molecular mechanisms underlying insulin resistance, autoimmune hepatitis, and gastric lymphomagenesis. The lab investigates the roles of SOCS proteins in metabolic and immune disorders, explores the gut microbiota in H. pylori-negative gastric MALT lymphoma, and develops AI-assisted tools for small bowel capsule endoscopy. Their work bridges basic immunology with clinical gastroenterology, aiming to uncover novel therapeutic targets and diagnostic tools.

Inflammation associates with insulin resistance, which dysregulates nutrient homeostasis and leads to diabetes. The suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), which is induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNFalpha and IL-6, has been implicated in inflammation-mediated insulin resistance in the liver and adipocytes. However, no genetic evidence has been provided for the involvement of SOCS3 on insulin resistance. Here, we generated hepatocyte-specific SOCS3-deficient (L-SOCS3 cKO) mice
These findings indicate that SOCS1 plays important negative roles in fulminant hepatitis and that forced expression of SOCS1 is therapeutic in preventing hepatitis.
There may be an association between atrophic gastritis and atherosclerosis in middle-aged subjects.
Indigo naturalis showed favorable therapeutic efficacy in UC, whereas its therapeutic efficacy in CD appeared to be modest. The risk of severe AEs should be recognized for IN treatment.
To investigate the mucosal microbiota in the stomach of patients with Helicobacter pylori-negative mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma by means of metagenomic analysis.Although some gastric MALT lymphomas are associated with the presence of H. pylori, other gastric MALT lymphomas occur independently of H. pylori infection. The pathogenesis of H. pylori-negative MALT lymphoma remains unclear.Mucosal biopsy specimens were collected from the gastric body from 33 MALT lymphoma patients
Object detection AI model in small bowel CE using YOLO v5 may provide effective and easy-to-understand reading assistance. In this SEE-AI project, we open our dataset, the weights of the AI model, and a demonstration to experience our AI. We look forward to further improving the AI model in the future.
Because the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal follicular lymphoma (GI-FL) remains unclear, no standardized treatment strategy has been established. Of the gastrointestinal lymphomas, gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas are strongly associated with Helicobacter pylori; hence, the microbiota may be involved in GI-FL pathogenesis. However, the association between GI-FL and the microbiota remains uninvestigated. Therefore, we compared the mucosal microbiotas of GI-FL patients with tho
Serum IgA levels appear to be a predictor of mortality, especially cancer mortality in males.
