Recent insights into the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD) point to an important role of the mucosal barrier and intestinal microflora that may induce a chronic inflammation after crossing the intestinal barrier. The first detected susceptibility gene for CD, NOD2, is a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) for the recognition of the bacterial cell wall component muramyldipeptide (MDP). Binding of MDP to NOD2 is followed by activation of proinflammatory pathways mainly regulated by nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB). In this study we investigated whether impaired recognition of MDP via NOD2 variants is associated with increased bacterial translocation across the epithelial barrier and whether this is followed by increased or decreased NF-kappaB activation.
