In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

Q: Context: To test whether oral L-81 treatment could improve the condition of mice with diabetes and to investigate how L-81 regulates microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) activity in the liver.', 'Genetically diabetic (db/db) mice were fed on chow supplemented with or without L-81 for 4 wk. The body weight, plasma glucose level, plasma lipid profile, and adipocyte volume of the db/db mice were assessed after treatment. Toxicity of L-81 was also evaluated. To understand the molecular mechanism, HepG2 cells were treated with L-81 and the effects on apolipoprotein B (apoB) secretion and mRNA level of the MTP gene were assessed.', 'Treatment of db/db mice with L-81 significantly reduced and nearly normalized their body weight, hyperphagia and polydipsia. L-81 also markedly decreased the fasting plasma glucose level, improved glucose tolerance, and attenuated the elevated levels of plasma cholesterol and triglyceride. At the effective dosage, little toxicity was observed. Treatment of HepG2 cells with L-81 not only inhibited apoB secretion, but also significantly decreased the mRNA level of the MTP gene. Similar to the action of insulin, L-81 exerted its effect on the MTP promoter.\Question: Does pluronic L-81 ameliorate diabetic symptoms in db/db mice through transcriptional regulation of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein?

A: L-81 represents a promising candidate in the development of a selective insulin-mimetic molecule and an anti-diabetic agent.

Q: Context: Protein kinase D (PKD or PKD1) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that has been shown to play a role in a variety of cellular processes; however, the function of PKD1 in the skin has not been fully investigated. The balance between proliferation and differentiation processes in the predominant cells of the epidermis, the keratinocytes, is essential for normal skin function.', 'To investigate the effect of PKD1 deficiency on proliferation and differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes.', 'We utilized a floxed PKD1 mouse model such that infecting epidermal keratinocytes derived from these mice with an adenovirus expressing Cre-recombinase allowed us to determine the effect of PKD1 gene loss in vitro. Proliferation and differentiation were monitored using qRT-PCR, Western blot, transglutaminase activity assays, [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA and cell cycle analysis.', 'A significant decrease in PKD1 mRNA and protein levels was achieved in adenoviral Cre-recombinase-infected cells. Deficiency of PKD1 resulted in significant increases in the mRNA and protein expression of various differentiation markers such as loricrin, involucrin, and keratin 10 either basally and/or upon stimulation of differentiation. PKD1-deficient keratinocytes also showed an increase in transglutaminase expression and activity, indicating an anti-differentiative role of PKD1. Furthermore, the PKD1-deficient keratinocytes exhibited decreased proliferation. However, PKD1 loss had no effect on stem cell marker expression.\Question: Does protein kinase D1 deficiency promote differentiation in epidermal keratinocytes?

A: Cre-recombinase-mediated knockdown represents an additional approach demonstrating that PKD1 is an anti-differentiative, pro-proliferative signal in mouse keratinocytes.

Q: Context: To confirm that the severity of inflammation can promote the colitis-associated colorectal cancer(CAC) and explore the function of STAT3 signal pathway in CAC.', 'Mutagenic agent azoxymethane(AOM) and pro-inflammatory agent dextran sodium sulfate salt (DSS) were used to develop a mouse model of CAC. By changing the concentration of DSS (0, 1% and 2% respectively), the mouse model with different extent of severity of inflammation was developed and the risk of carcinogenesis among these groups was compared. The expression of STAT3 signal pathway was detected by immunohistochemistry staining.', 'In the evaluation of inflammatory severity, disease activity index, histopathological inflammation scores and the expression of pro-inflammation chemokines such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-12 in the higher inflammatory response group were higher than that in the lower inflammatory response group. The incidence of colorectal tumor was 100%(12/12) in the higher inflammatory response group and the incidence of colorectal tumor was 58.3%(7/12) in the lower inflammatory response group, and the difference between these two group was statistically significant (P<0.05). The multiplicity(number of tumors/colon) was 12.5±0.5 in the higher inflammatory response group and the multiplicity was 6.6±1.0 in the lower inflammatory response group, and the difference between these two groups was statistically significant (P<0.001). The tumor load(sum of tumor diameters per mouse) in the higher inflammatory response group was 44.2±2.4 mm and that in the lower inflammatory response group was only 18.7±2.7 mm, and the difference between these two groups was statistically significant (P<0.0001). Moreover, the expression of p-STAT3 (Tyr705) was higher in colitis tissue of the higher inflammatory response group than that of the lower inflammatory response group.\Question: Does [ Inflammation promote the development of colitis-associated colorectal cancer ]?

A:
Inflammation can promote the colitis-associated CAC. And the activation of STAT3 signal pathway may promote the development of CAC.
