Metabolic Syndrome and Altered Gut Microbiota in Mice Lacking Toll-Like Receptor 5

TL;DR: Results support the emerging view that the gut microbiota contributes to metabolic disease and suggest that malfunction of the innate immune system may promote the development of metabolic syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacteria penetrate the normally impenetrable inner colon mucus layer in both murine colitis models and patients with ulcerative colitis

TL;DR: The colon mucus in animal models that spontaneously develop colitis and in patients with active UC allows bacteria to penetrate and reach the epithelium, and this suggests a novel model of UC pathophysiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

CEACAM6 acts as a receptor for adherent-invasive E. coli , supporting ileal mucosa colonization in Crohn disease

TL;DR: In vitro studies show that there is increased CEACAM6 expression in cultured intestinal epithelial cells after IFN-gamma or TNF-alpha stimulation and after infection with AIEC bacteria, indicating that AIEC can promote its own colonization in CD patients.
