The Role of Macrophages and Dendritic Cells in the Initiation of Inflammation in IBD

Abstract: In the healthy gastrointestinal tract, homeostasis is an active process that requires a careful balance of host responses to the enteric luminal contents. Intestinal macrophages and dendritic cells comprise a unique group of tissue immune cells that are ideally situated at the interface of the host and the enteric luminal environment to appropriately respond to microbes and ingested stimuli. However, intrinsic defects in macrophage and dendritic cell function contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowe… Show more

“…Macrophages are the most abundant leukocytes in the healthy intestinal LP and contribute significantly to gut homeostasis (22,29) through several mechanisms including phagocytosis, degradation of microorganisms and dead tissue cells, and epithelial cell restitution (22). Importantly, they produce large amounts of IL-10, which blocks Toll-like receptor (TLR)-induced inflammatory responses and enhances the survival and function of local FOXP3…”

“…Collectively, our data reveal a critical role for KLF10 in the epigenetic regulation of TGF␤RII expression in macrophages and the acquisition of a "regulatory" phenotype that contributes to intestinal mucosal homeostasis. colitis; colonic macrophages; epigenetics; histone acetyl transferase; Krüppel-like factor MACROPHAGES ARE the most abundant mononuclear phagocytes in the healthy intestinal lamina propria (LP) and are important regulators of immune responses during intestinal inflammation (26,29,42). In the murine system, intestinal macrophages rely on constant replenishment by Ly6C ϩ blood monocytes conditioned to acquire a noninflammatory profile and differentiate into chemokine receptor CX3CR1 hi "regulatory" macrophages (1,2,20,33,42).…”

“…Macrophages are a key component of host innate immune defense in the intestines, limiting systemic microbial dissemination by destroying potential invaders through phagocytosis, while also sensing and responding to microbial stimuli and informing consequent host immune responses (22). Through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), macrophages recognize the conserved microbial molecular patterns synthesized by resident and pathogenic intestinal bacteria, including extracellular structures, such as fimbriae, flagella, lipopolysaccharides, and peptidoglycan.…”

“…Differentiation of macrophages from monocytes in the intestinal mucosa is accompanied by the acquisition of a typical functional phenotype [4,5,12,13]. The differentiation of monocytes into macrophages normally occurs under ‘non-inflammatory' conditions.…”
