Journal ArticleDOI

Nod2-dependent regulation of innate and adaptive immunity in the intestinal tract.

TL;DR: It is shown that protective immunity mediated by Nod2 recognition of bacterial muramyl dipeptide is abolished in Nod1-deficient mice, providing a possible mechanism for Nod 2 mutations in CD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Requirement of JNK for Stress- Induced Activation of the Cytochrome c-Mediated Death Pathway

TL;DR: It is shown here that JNK is required for UV-induced apoptosis in primary murine embryonic fibroblasts, and data indicate that mitochondria are influenced by proapoptotic signal transduction through the JNK pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

BCL-2, BCL-XL Sequester BH3 Domain-Only Molecules Preventing BAX- and BAK-Mediated Mitochondrial Apoptosis

TL;DR: In mammals, BH3 domain-only molecules activate multidomain proapoptotic members to trigger a mitochondrial pathway, which both releases cytochrome c to activate caspases and initiates caspase-independent mitochondrial dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

NLRP6 Inflammasome Regulates Colonic Microbial Ecology and Risk for Colitis

TL;DR: It is shown that deficiency of NLRP6 in mouse colonic epithelial cells results in reduced IL-18 levels and altered fecal microbiota characterized by expanded representation of the bacterial phyla Bacteroidetes (Prevotellaceae) and TM7.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced Apoptosis and Cytochrome c-Mediated Caspase Activation in Mice Lacking Caspase 9

TL;DR: Results indicate that Casp9 is a critical upstream activator of the caspase cascade in vivo, as indicated by the absence of Casp3-like cleavage and the restoration of cytochrome c-mediated cleavage after addition of in vitro-translated Casp 9.
