The Key Role of Macrophages in the Immunopathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Mahida, Yashwant R.·2000·Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Abstract

Macrophages are important in the host's immunological and inflammatory responses. There is a large population of these cells in the normal intestinal mucosa where they represent the major antigen presenting cell population capable of determining the type of T cell responses that develop to luminal antigens. Studies suggest that the normal intestinal macrophages cannot be easily induced to mediate acute inflammatory responses. In active inflammatory bowel disease there is an increase in the mucosal macrophage population, derived from circulating monocytes. These recruited macrophages are phenotypically different from the resident population of cells and play a major role in mediating the chronic mucosal inflammation seen in patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. They secrete many cytokines that are important in the proinflammatory responses, such as interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, IL-18, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. They also release reactive metabolites of oxygen and nitrogen and proteases that degrade the extracellular matrix. Macrophages also appear to be important during resolution of inflammation and repair of the intestinal mucosa that occurs during disease remission.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
