Journal ArticleDOI

Host-microbe interactions have shaped the genetic architecture of inflammatory bowel disease

Luke Jostins, +105 more
- 01 Nov 2012 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis genome-wide association scans is undertaken, followed by extensive validation of significant findings, with a combined total of more than 75,000 cases and controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microbial Exposure During Early Life Has Persistent Effects on Natural Killer T Cell Function

TL;DR: It is shown that in germ-free (GF) mice, invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells accumulate in the colonic lamina propria and lung, resulting in increased morbidity in models of IBD and allergic asthma as compared with that of specific pathogen-free mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

XBP1 links ER stress to intestinal inflammation and confers genetic risk for human inflammatory bowel disease

TL;DR: It is reported that XBP1 deletion in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) results in spontaneous enteritis and increased susceptibility to induced colitis secondary to both Paneth cell dysfunction and an epithelium that is overly reactive to inducers of IBD such as bacterial products (flagellin) and TNFalpha.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in expression and distribution of claudin 2, 5 and 8 lead to discontinuous tight junctions and barrier dysfunction in active Crohn’s disease

TL;DR: Upregulation of pore-forming claudin 2 and downregulation and redistribution of sealing claudins 5 and 8 lead to altered tight junction structure and pronounced barrier dysfunction already in mild to moderately active Crohn’s disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inherited determinants of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis phenotypes: a genetic association study

Isabelle Cleynen, +48 more
- 09 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: The largest genotype association study, to date, in widely used clinical subphenotypes of inflammatory bowel disease with the goal of further understanding the biological relations between diseases.
