Intestinal microvascular endothelium and innate immunity in inflammatory bowel disease: a second line of defense?
Impairment of the intestinal epithelial barrier function is presently understood to be a key pathogenic step in the initiation and development of chronic human inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which include Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Invasion by microbial pathogens has been proven to be a crucial event in the perpetuation of the disease process (21, 49). Limited data ar...
متن کاملThe role of intestinal microbiota and the immune system.
BACKGROUND The human gut is an ecosystem consisting of a great number of commensal bacteria living in symbiosis with the host. Several data confirm that gut microbiota is engaged in a dynamic interaction with the intestinal innate and adaptive immune system, affecting different aspects of its development and function. AIM To review the immunological functions of gut microbiota and improve kno...
متن کاملGut inflammation: current update on pathophysiology, molecular mechanism and pharmacological treatment modalities.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and relapsing inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. The two main forms of IBD are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. According to the recent concept the disease is caused by a combination of factors, including genetics, immune dysregulation, barrier dysfunction and the change in microbial flora. Environmental factors, such as ch...
متن کاملNeuroimmunomodulation in the Gut: Focus on Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Intestinal immunity is finely regulated by several concomitant and overlapping mechanisms, in order to efficiently sense external stimuli and mount an adequate response of either tolerance or defense. In this context, a complex interplay between immune and nonimmune cells is responsible for the maintenance of normal homeostasis. However, in certain conditions, the disruption of such an intricat...
متن کاملThe vascular contribution in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease.
THE TWO MAJOR FORMS of human inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), represent classic chronic inflammatory disorders, characterized by progressive destructive inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Although the majority of research into IBD pathogenesis has focused on immune dysregulation, vascular involvement in IBD has also been recognized ove...
