Increased Numbers of Enteric Glial Cells in the Peyer’s Patches and Enhanced Intestinal Permeability by Glial Cell Mediators in Patients with Ileal Crohn’s Disease

Abstract: Enteric glial cells (EGC) are known to regulate gastrointestinal functions; however, their role in Crohn’s disease (CD) is elusive. Microscopic erosions over the ileal Peyer’s patches are early signs of CD. The aim of this work was to assess the localization of EGC in the follicle and interfollicular region of the Peyer’s patches and in the lamina propria and study the effects of EGC mediators on barrier function in CD patients and non-inflammatory bowel disease (non-IBD) controls. EGC markers, glial fibrillar… Show more

“…Indeed, the function of this follicle-associated epithelium consists in sampling and transporting luminal antigens through M cells and dendritic cells to CD 4+ cells[ 32 ]. Early histological changes in Peyer’s patches were reported in ileal CD such as an increase in mast cells or erosive epithelial lesions[ 33 , 34 ]. Further, the increased number of glial cells in the Peyer’s patches of patients with ileal CD resulted in an enhanced intestinal permeability[ 34 ].…”

Further, the increased number of glial cells in the Peyer’s patches of patients with ileal CD resulted in an enhanced intestinal permeability[ 34 ]. Together these phenomena may explain the increased vulnerability of the ileal mucosa to bacterial invasion in CD patients[ 35 ].…”

“…In patients with inflammatory bowel disease, the proportion of GFAP + in EGCs is increased, and its secreted mediators increase the permeability of intestinal mucosal barrier, thus aggravating inflammation. But in normal people, the medium secreted by EGCs has a protective effect on intestinal mucosa ( 51 ). ENS undergoes structural and phenotypic plastic changes during inflammation.…”

“…Recently, the 51 Cr-EDTA membrane permeability was suggested to be related with the accumulation of enteric glial cells (EGC), which are known to be regulators of gastrointestinal functions. Moreover, increased paracellular permeability from EGC mediators was observed in CD patients, whereas this permeability was decreased by these mediators in controls [ 73 ].…”
