Data support a model for alcohol-induced colonic hyperpermeability via epigenetic effects on Notch1, and thus Hes1, suppression through a mechanism involving histone H3 deacetylation at the Notch1 locus. This decreased enterocyte and increased enteroendocrine cell colonic stem cell fate and decreased apical junctional proteins leading to hyperpermeability.
