Monocyte-derived Macrophages from Crohn's Disease Patients Are Impaired in the Ability to Control Intracellular Adherent-Invasive Escherichia coli and Exhibit Disordered Cytokine Secretion Profile

摘要

Background: Ileal lesions of Crohn's disease [CD] patients are colonised by adherent-invasive Escherichia coli [AIEC] able to survive in macrophage cell lines. We analysed the ability of monocyte-derived macrophages [MDM] from CD patients to control AIEC intracellular replication and the pro-inflammatory cytokine response of the infected-MDM.
