Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial flagellin is a dominant antigen in Crohn disease

TL;DR: Serological expression cloning was used to identify commensal bacterial proteins that could contribute to the pathogenesis of IBD and identify flagellins as a class of immunodominant antigens that stimulate pathogenic intestinal immune reactions in genetically diverse hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intestinal epithelial cells secrete exosome–like vesicles

TL;DR: Human IEC lines secrete exosomes bearing accessory molecules that may be involved in antigen presentation consistent with a model in which IECs may influence antigen presentation in the mucosal or systemic immune system independent of direct cellular contact with effector cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibodies to CBir1 flagellin define a unique response that is associated independently with complicated Crohn's disease.

TL;DR: Serum responses to CBir1 independently identify a unique subset of patients with complicated CD patients, and this bacterial antigen was identified in a murine model and has a similar pattern of aberrant reactivity in a subset of CD patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1–Dependent Induction of Intestinal Trefoil Factor Protects Barrier Function during Hypoxia

TL;DR: HIF-1–dependent induction of ITF may provide an adaptive link for maintenance of barrier function during hypoxia, and help to protect epithelial barrier during episodes of intestinalHypoxia-elicited increases in intestinal permeability in ITF null mice are revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antigen processing and presentation by intestinal epithelial cells – polarity and complexity

TL;DR: The evidence that human intestinal epithelial cells function as antigen-presenting cells (APCs) capable of regulating T-cell responses in the intestinal mucosa is discussed.
