Inflammation Drives Dysbiosis and Bacterial Invasion in Murine Models of Ileal Crohn’s Disease
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Understanding the interplay between genetic susceptibility, the microbiome, the environment and the immune system in Crohn's Disease (CD) is essential for developing optimal therapeutic strategies. We sought to examine the dynamics of the relationship between inflammation, the ileal microbiome, and host genetics in murine models of ileitis. METHODS We induced ileal inflamm...
متن کاملTuberculous sacro-ileitis: two cases and radiological findings.
Infective sacro-ileitis is due to common bacteria, 25% being tuberculosis and 10% brucellosis. Slow progression characterizes joint tuberculosis, an uncommon variant of this disease. The onset is usually insidious, and early diagnosis requires a high index of clinical suspicion. We report two cases with tuberculous sacro-ileitis which initially mimicked brucellosis infiltration. Diagnosis of tu...
متن کاملPhospholipase A2 gene expression and activity in histologically normal ileal mucosa and in Crohn's ileitis.
Increased activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in the ileal mucosa may contribute to the inflammation in Crohn's disease. The results of this study showed that (a) three months after ileocolonic resection for Crohn's disease the neoterminal ileal mucosa showed endoscopically new inflammation and had higher PLA2 activity than at the time of the operation (n = 8); no such findings were seen in con...
متن کاملThe primary defect in experimental ileitis originates from a nonhematopoietic source
The initiating etiologic factor in Crohn's disease (CD) remains unclear. SAMP1/YitFc (SAMP) mice develop chronic ileitis similar to human CD. We used bone marrow chimeras to determine if SAMP ileitis results from a primary immunological defect or from dysregulated mucosal immunity secondary to intrinsic, nonhematopoietic (e.g., epithelial) dysfunction. SAMP mice receiving wild-type (AKR) BM dev...
