Ste20-related proline/alanine-rich kinase （SPAK） is involved in regulating barrier function. SPAK is known to interact with inflammation-related kinases （such as p38, JNK, NKCC1, PKCS, WNK and MLCK）, and with transcription factor AP-1, resulting in diverse biological phenomena, including cell differentiation, cell transformation and proliferation, cytoskeleton rearrangement, and regulation of chloride transport. This review examines the involvement of Ste20-1ike kinases and downstream mitogen-activated protein kinases （MAPKs） pathways in the pathogenesis and control of intestinal inflammation. The primary focus will be on the molecular features of intestinal inflammation, with an emphasis on the interaction between SPAK and other molecules, and the effect of these interactions on homeostatic maintenance, cell volume regulation and increased cell permeability in intestinal inflammation.展开更多
