Mutations/polymorphisms in the CARD15/NOD2 gene and in the promoter region of the TNFalpha gene are associated with susceptibility to and modulate the phenotype of Crohn's disease (CD). The molecular mechanisms for this genotype-phenotype correlation are yet to be elucidated. CARD15 is an intracellular receptor for bacterial muramyl dipeptide (MDP), and can elicit an inflammatory response via activation of the NF-kappaB pathway. MDP is also known to induce the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNFalpha, through a still poorly characterized signaling pathway. We sought to determine whether CARD15-mediated NF-kappaB activation can contribute to MDP-induced TNFalpha production and, consequently, if polymorphisms in both genes affect the control of such induction.
