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.
