Abstract
AIM: To establish the role of enteric glial cells during
infection with Mycobacterium avium subspecies
paratuberculosis (MAP) in Crohn’s disease.
METHODS: In order to establish the role of enteric
glial cells during infection with M. avium subspecies
paratuberculosis (MAP) in Crohn’s disease, Map adhesion
experiments on enteric glial cells were performed as
well as expression analysis of Map sigma factors during
infection.
RESULTS: In this study, for the fi rst time, we found a
high affi nity of MAP to enteric glial cells and we analyzed
the expression of MAP sigma factors under different
conditions of growth.
CONCLUSION: The fact that Map showed a high affinity
to the glial cells raises concerns about the complicated
etiology of the Crohn’s disease. Elucidation of the
mechanisms whereby infl ammation alters enteric neural
control of gut functions may lead to novel treatments for
Crohn’s disease.
