The etiology of human inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) is believed to involve inappropriate host responses to the complex commensal microbial flora in the gut, although an altered commensal flora is not completely excluded. A multifunctional cellular and secreted barrier separates the microbial fl

It has become increasingly clear that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) develops on the background of genetic defects in the host, conveying an increased susceptibility to an environmental antigen or antigens. The environmental factor implicated in the pathophysiology of gut inflammation, which is un
Tissue kallikrein cleaves kininogens to release kinins. Kinins mediate inflammation by activating constitutive bradykinin receptor-2 (BR2), which are rapidly desensitized, and induced by inflammatory cytokines bradykinin receptor-1 (BR1), resistant to desensitization. Intestinal tissue kallikrein (
In both Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis, the pathologic process is almost certainly driven by an aberrant local immune response directed against normal components of the bacterial microflora. Mucosal immune cells interact with nonimmune cells such as epithelial cells and fibroblasts to p
Severe combined immunodeficient (scid) mice engrafted with small pieces of full thickness gut wall from immunocompetent syngenic donors develop a chronic and lethal colitis. Lymphocytes from the lamina propria of engrafted mice were analyzed for phorbol ester/ionomycin-induced cytokine production by
