项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Nod-like receptors (NLRs) are intracellular pattern-recognition receptors that are involved in host defense, but have emerged as critical players in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis, especially within the intestine. Capable of sensing microbial products as well as endogenous ligands related to tissue injury, NLRs activate multiple downstream inflammatory signaling pathways, including the inflammasome, to promote the production of cytokines and chemokines important for pathogen clearance and the timely repair of intestinal epithelial damage. There is also increasing evidence that NLRs participate in the regulation of the gut microbiome. Consequently, mice that are deficient in certain NLRs have altered microbiomes associated with increased susceptibility to colitis and colon tumorigenesis. In particular, mice deficient in NLRP6 develop more severe inflammation and tumors compared to wildtype mice in mouse models of inflammatory bowel disease and inflammation-associated colon cancer. This phenotype is associated with impaired IL-18 production and an altered microbiome. However, the cellular mechanisms by which NLRP6 mediate its protective effects within the colon is unclear. NLRP6 is highly expressed in the epithelium and consistently, there have been multiple reports that demonstrate epithelial-specific roles for NLRP6, including the production of IL-18, antimicrobial peptides, and mucus. However, NLRP6 expression can also be induced in hematopoietic cells, and our published data suggests important roles for NLRP6 in the regulation of IL-18 and intestinal inflammatory responses in hematopoietic cells. Thus, the mechanism by which NLRP6 protects against colitis is likely to be complex. The goal of the current proposal is to further delineate NLRP6 function in myeloid cells and the inflammatory signaling pathways NLRP6 engages in to affect resistance to intestinal pathology.

项目摘要 Nod-like receptor（NLR）是一种细胞内的模式识别受体，参与宿主细胞的免疫应答。防御，但已成为维持组织稳态的关键参与者，尤其是在肠内。能够感知微生物产物以及内源性与组织损伤相关的配体、NLR激活多种下游炎症信号传导途径，包括炎性体，以促进细胞因子和趋化因子的产生对于病原体清除和肠上皮损伤的及时修复非常重要。有也有越来越多的证据表明NLR参与肠道微生物组的调节。因此，缺乏某些NLR的小鼠改变了与NLR相关的微生物组。增加对结肠炎和结肠肿瘤的易感性。特别地，NLRP 6缺陷的小鼠在小鼠模型中，与野生型小鼠相比，炎症性肠病和炎症相关结肠癌。该表型与IL-18产生受损和微生物组改变有关。然而，Cellular NLRP 6在结肠内介导其保护作用的机制尚不清楚。NLRP 6 在上皮细胞中高度表达，并且一直有多项报道，证实了NLRP 6的上皮特异性作用，包括产生IL-18、抗微生物肽和粘液。然而，NLRP 6表达也可以在造血细胞中诱导，我们发表的数据表明，NLRP 6在调节IL-18和肠道炎症中起重要作用。造血细胞的炎症反应。因此，NLRP 6的保护机制对抗结肠炎的方法可能很复杂本提案的目标是进一步界定 NLRP 6在骨髓细胞中发挥作用，并且NLRP 6参与炎症信号传导途径，影响对肠道病变的抵抗力。
