Abstract

A single layer of epithelial cells lines the small and large intestines and functions as a barrier between commensal bacteria and the rest of the body. Ligation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) on intestinal epithelial cells by bacterial products promotes epithelial cell proliferation, secretion of IgA into the gut lumen and expression of antimicrobial peptides. As described in this Review, this establishes a microorganism-induced programme of epithelial cell homeostasis and repair in the intestine. Dysregulation of this process can result in chronic inflammatory and over-exuberant repair responses, and it is associated with the development of colon cancer. Thus, dysregulated TLR signalling by intestinal epithelial cells may explain how colonic bacteria and inflammation promote colorectal cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Des Robert C, Lacaille F, Canioni D, Quartier-dit-Maire P, Talbotec C, Goulet O. EBV-negative lymphoproliferative disease with hyper-IgA, in a child with combined liver and small bowel transplantation. Pediatr Transplantation 2004: 8: 305–307. © 2004 Blackwell Munksgaard A 4-year-old boy presented 14 months after liver and small bowel transplantation with fever, diarrhea, elevated liver enzymes, thrombocytopenia and autoantibodies. Total gammaglobulins level was normal but the level of plasma IgA1 was very high. The blood PCR for Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) was negative. The ileal biopsy disclosed a lymphoplasmacytic infiltration. The EBER probe was negative on the small bowel biopsies. The child was considered as suffering from a non-EBV-induced posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). The high IgA level was presumed to be secreted by proliferating plasma cells in the transplanted bowel. Immunosuppression was reduced; but the efficacy was incomplete and an anti-CD20 antibody was added. There was complete resolution of symptoms and normalization of the IgA level. As IgA1 is mostly of intestinal origin, this unusual presentation of PTLD should lead to a high suspicion of a small bowel proliferating process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
