抄録

<jats:p> Variants of NOD2, an intracellular sensor of bacteria-derived muramyl dipeptide (MDP), increase susceptibility to Crohn's disease (CD). These variants are thought to be defective in activation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and antibacterial defenses, but CD clinical specimens display elevated NF-κB activity. To illuminate the pathophysiological function of NOD2, we introduced such a variant to the mouse <jats:italic>Nod2</jats:italic> locus. Mutant mice exhibited elevated NF-κB activation in response to MDP and more efficient processing and secretion of the cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β). These effects are linked to increased susceptibility to bacterial-induced intestinal inflammation and identify NOD2 as a positive regulator of NF-κB activation and IL-1β secretion. </jats:p>
