• IL-13 caused a dose-dependent decrease in electrical resistance of HT-29 epithelial cell monolayers.
• This was associated with an increase in the cellular apoptotic rate.
• Addition of IL-13 in vitro led to an increased expression of the pore-forming tight junction protein claudin-2.

Summary
Treatment of experimental ulcerative colitis with anIL-13 PE can ameliorate disease.
LPMC NKT cells from ulcerative colitis patients demonstrate an increased expression of IL-13Rα2.
Treatment of ulcerative colitis NKT cells with an IL-13 PE leads to decreased IL-13 secretion.
Therapeutic modalities that target the IL−13Rα2 pathway may be a new avenue of treatment for ulcerative colitis.
