TLDR
SLC15A4 promotes colitis through Toll-like receptor 9 and NOD1-dependent innate immune responses and functions as a transporter of the N OD1 ligand, suggesting Histidine homeostasis within intracellular compartments is important for eliciting effective innateimmune responses.

Genetics and pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease

TL;DR: Recent advances have provided substantial insight into the maintenance of mucosal immunity and the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease, and the role of genetic predispositions and how they affect interactions with microbial and environmental factors is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI

NOD1 and NOD2: signaling, host defense, and inflammatory disease.

TL;DR: Recent developments about the mechanisms by which NOD1 and NOD2 are activated by bacterial ligands, the regulation of their signaling pathways, and their role in host defense and inflammatory disease are discussed.

Peptidoglycan recognition by the innate immune system

TL;DR: This Review discusses new insights into the role of peptidoglycan recognition in inflammation, metabolism, immune homeostasis and disease and focuses on the mechanisms that are used by mammalian cells.

Proton-coupled oligopeptide transporter family SLC15: physiological, pharmacological and pathological implications.

TL;DR: In this review, updated information is provided on the structure-function of PepT1, PepT2, PhT1 and PhT2 and their expression and localization in key tissues, and as potential targets for drug delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nod-like receptors: versatile cytosolic sentinels

TL;DR: Although initially described to respond to intracellular pathogens, NLRs have been shown to play important roles in distinct biological processes ranging from regulation of antigen presentation, sensing metabolic changes in the cell, modulation of inflammation, embryo development, cell death, and differentiation of the adaptive immune response.

T cell receptor antagonist peptides induce positive selection

TL;DR: Results show that the process of positive selection is exquisitely peptide specific and sensitive to extremely low ligand density and support the notion that low efficacy ligands mediate positive selection.

IDO expression by dendritic cells: tolerance and tryptophan catabolism.

TL;DR: This review summarizes key recent developments and proposes a unifying model for the role of IDO in tolerance induction, including studies of mammalian pregnancy, tumour resistance, chronic infections and autoimmune diseases.

Clinicopathologic study of dextran sulfate sodium experimental murine colitis

TL;DR: The finding of crypt loss without proceeding or accompanying inflammation suggests that the initial insult is at the level of the epithelial cell with inflammation being a secondary phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toll-like receptor 9 signaling mediates the anti-inflammatory effects of probiotics in murine experimental colitis.

TL;DR: The protective effects of Probiotics are mediated by their own DNA rather than by their metabolites or ability to colonize the colon, and live microorganisms are not required to attenuate experimental colitis because nonviable probiotics are equally effective.
