Abstract
Cells of the innate immune system are equipped with surface and cytoplasmic receptors for microorganisms called pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). PRRs recognize specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns and as such are crucial for the activation of the immune system. Currently, five different classes of PRRs have been described: Toll-like receptors, C-type lectin receptors, nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors, retinoic acid-inducible gene I-like receptors and absent in melanoma 2-like receptors. Following their discovery, many sequence variants in PRR genes have been uncovered and shown to be implicated in human infectious diseases. In this review, we will discuss the effect of genetic variation in PRRs and their signaling pathways on susceptibility to infectious diseases in humans.

Abstract
Pattern recognition receptors are essential mediators of host defense and inflammation in the gastrointestinal system. Recent data have revealed that toll-like receptors and nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat-containing proteins (NLRs) function to maintain homeostasis between the host microbiome and mucosal immunity. The NLR proteins are a diverse class of cytoplasmic pattern recognition receptors. In humans, only about half of the identified NLRs have been adequately characterized. The majority of well-characterized NLRs participate in the formation of a multiprotein complex, termed the inflammasome, which is responsible for the maturation of interleukin-1β and interleukin-18. However, recent observations have also uncovered the presence of a novel subgroup of NLRs that function as positive or negative regulators of inflammation through modulating critical signaling pathways, including NF-κB. Dysregulation of specific NLRs from both proinflammatory and inhibitory subgroups have been associated with the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in genetically susceptible human populations. Our own preliminary retrospective data mining efforts have identified a diverse range of NLRs that are significantly altered at the messenger RNA level in colons from patients with IBD. Likewise, studies using genetically modified mouse strains have revealed that multiple NLR family members have the potential to dramatically modulate the immune response during IBD. Targeting NLR signaling represents a promising and novel therapeutic strategy. However, significant effort is necessary to translate the current understanding of NLR biology into effective therapies.

Abstract
Extensive genetic studies have identified more than 140 loci predisposing to Crohn disease (CD). Several major CD susceptibility genes have been shown to impair biological function with regard to immune response to recognizing and clearance of bacterial infection. Recent human microbiome studies suggest that the gut microbiome composition is differentiated in carriers of many risk variants of major CD susceptibility genes. This interplay between host genetics and its associated gut microbiome may play an essential role in the pathogenesis of CD. The ongoing microbiome research is aimed to investigate the detailed host genetics-microbiome interacting mechanism.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the main types of inflammatory bowel disease, which is caused by dysregulated immune responses in genetically predisposed individuals. Several genetic factors, including interleukin and interleukin receptor gene polymorphisms and other inflammation-related genes play central role in mediating and modulating the inflammation in the human body, thereby these can be the main cause of development of the disease. It is clear these data are very important for understanding the base of the disease, especially in terms of clinical utility and validity, but summarized literature is exiguous for challenge health specialist that can used in the clinical practice nowadays. This review summarizes the current literature on inflammation-related genetic polymorphisms which are associated with UC. We performed an electronic search of Pubmed Database among publications of the last 10 years, using the following medical subject heading terms: UC, ulcerative colitis, inflammation, genes, polymorphisms, and susceptibility.

Abstract
The Nod-like receptor (NLR) family of intracellular pattern recognition molecules plays critical roles in the control of inflammation through the modulation of different signalling pathways, including those dependent on NF-κB and caspase-1-mediated cleavage of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18. A number of NLRs or NLR-associated proteins have been genetically associated with susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), either Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. Accordingly, recent studies have examined the role of NLR proteins in chemical-induced or bacteria-induced murine models of colitis. In this review, we will discuss the genetic associations of NLRs with IBD and the research using NLR-deficient mice in different colitis models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND NOD2 is involved in Crohn's disease (CD), but the role of NOD1 remains unclear. Anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) are higher in CD patients and some of their relatives. Using family-based analyses we investigated the relationships between NOD2 mutations, NOD1 +32656 variant, and both the risk of CD and ASCA levels. We compared allelic frequencies between families with multiple CD cases (multiplex), those with one case of CD (simplex), and control families, searching for a gradient of at risk alleles according to the prevalence of the disease among families. METHODS In all, 93 CD patients, 160 healthy relatives from 22 multiplex families, 22 CD patients and 81 healthy relatives from 22 simplex families, and 169 subjects from 27 control families were included in the study. ASCA levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. NOD1 +32656, NOD2 R702W, G908R, and 1007fs were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction / restriction fragment length polymorphism. RESULTS In family-based analyses NOD2 mutations and the NOD1 wildtype allele were associated with CD in multiplex families, with a synergetic effect when risk alleles of both genes were transmitted. Lower ASCA levels were strongly associated with the NOD1 variant allele. Simplex families had a lower frequency of the "at risk" +32656 allele than multiplex families. CONCLUSIONS The +32656 variant was associated with low ASCA level and low risk of CD in multiplex families. NOD2 and NOD1 variants displayed antagonist effects on the risk of CD and ASCA level. A gradient of NOD1, NOD2 at-risk alleles was associated with the variable prevalence of CD in families.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Solute carrier family 15 (SLC15) A4 is a proton-coupled histidine and oligopeptide cotransporter expressed by the immune and nervous systems and associated with disorders such as inflammatory bowel diseases and systemic lupus erythematosus. High levels of SLC15A4 transcripts were observed in human antigen-presenting cells, including dendritic cells, activated macrophages, and B cells. However, the roles of SLC15A4 in the immune regulation are not known. We investigated the function of SLC15A4 in the innate immune system. METHODS We created SLC15A4-deficient (SLC15A4(-/-)) mice and compared Toll-like receptor 9 and NOD1-dependent innate immune responses between SLC15A4(-/-) and control (SLC15A4(+/+)) mice. RESULTS SLC15A4 deficiency impaired CpG-induced production of interleukin-12, interleukin-15, and interleukin-18 by dendritic cells. Correspondingly, SLC15A4(-/-) mice developed a less severe form of Th1-dependent colitis than SLC15A4(+/+) mice. Increased lysosomal histidine, in the absence of SLC15A4, appears to negatively regulate Toll-like receptor 9 function by inhibiting the proteolytic activities of cathepsins B and L. SLC15A4(-/-) mice also had a severe defect in NOD1-dependent cytokine production, indicating that SLC15A4 functions as a transporter of the NOD1 ligand. CONCLUSIONS SLC15A4 promotes colitis through Toll-like receptor 9 and NOD1-dependent innate immune responses. Histidine homeostasis within intracellular compartments is important for eliciting effective innate immune responses.

Abstract
Crohn's disease is widely regarded as a multifactorial disease, and evidence from human and animal studies suggests that bacteria have an instrumental role in its pathogenesis. Comparison of the intestinal microbiota of patients with Crohn's disease to that of healthy controls has revealed compositional changes. In most studies these changes are characterized by an increase in the abundance of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria and a decrease in that of Firmicutes. In addition, a number of specific mucosa-associated bacteria have been postulated to have a role in Crohn's disease, including Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis, adherent and invasive Escherichia coli, Campylobacter and Helicobacter species. The association between mutations in pattern-recognition receptors (Toll-like receptors and Nod-like receptors) and autophagy proteins and Crohn's disease provides further evidence to suggest that defective sensing and killing of bacteria may drive the onset of disease. In this Review, we present recent advances in understanding the role of bacteria and the contribution of pattern-recognition receptors and autophagy in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease.

Abstract
AIM: To find evidences about whether NOD1/CARD4 insertion/deletion polymorphism is associated with inflammatory bowel disease by meta-analysis.
METHODS: We surveyed the studies on the association of NOD1/CARD4 insertion/deletion polymorphism with inflammatory bowel disease in PubMed. Meta-analysis was performed for genotypes GG/T vs T/T, GG/GG vs T/T, GG/T + GG/GG vs T/T, GG/GG vs T/T + GG/T, and GG allele vs T allele in a fixed/random effect model.
RESULTS: We identified 8 studies (6439 cases and 4798 controls) in Caucasian populations using PubMed search. We found no association between NOD1/CARD4 insertion/deletion polymorphism and inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. Stratification of cases by age showed that NOD1/CARD4 insertion/deletion polymorphism was associated with inflammatory bowel disease in younger age group at onset (< 40 years) (GG vs T: OR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.50-0.93, P = 0.02; GG/T + GG/GG vs T/T: OR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.59-0.85, P = 0.0003).
CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis demonstrates an association between NOD1/CARD4 insertion/deletion polymorphism and inflammatory bowel disease in the younger age group at onset (< 40 years) in Caucasian populations.

Abstract
Crohn's disease is suggested to result from a microbially triggered immune-mediated autoimmune process, involving mainly the terminal ileum and ileo-caecal junction. Klebsiella pneumoniae shares certain molecular structures present in pullulanase pulA and pulD secretion enzymes with various self-antigens present in collagens and HLA-B27 molecules, respectively. A link exists between high dietary starch intake and the growth of intestinal microflora, involving especially Klebsiella microbes. Increased exposure to Klebsiella in the gut as the result of high starch intake would lead to high production of antiKlebsiella antibodies as well as autoantibodies to the cross-reactive self-antigens with the resultant inflammation at the pathological sites. Eradication of these microbes from the gut in patients with Crohn's disease with the use of low-starch diet and antibacterial agents as well as immunomodulatory measures could be beneficial in the management of this disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND NOD proteins are part of innate immunity mechanisms. They play a role in epithelial barrier functions and inflammatory responses to bacteria. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the NOD1 gene have proven to be associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and asthma. OBJECTIVE To investigate SNPs in the NOD1 gene in relation to aggressive periodontitis (AgP), a multifactorial, inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues of the teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five SNPs in the NOD1 gene (4 intronic and 1 exonic) were tested for association in a total of 415 AgP patients and 874 controls both of Northern European ancestry. RESULTS The frequencies of the rare SNP alleles ranged between 21% and 26% among cases, and 20-27% among controls, and were not statistically different between cases and controls. Two SNPs were in strong linkage disequilibrium (r(2) = 0.97 in cases and 0.94 in controls). The overall haplotype distributions did not differ between cases and controls. We observed 8 haplotypes with a frequency of >or=1% among cases and/or controls, but none of these haplotype frequencies differed significantly among cases and controls. Logistic regression analyses with adjustment for gender and smoking status did not reveal significant associations with AgP for any of the 5 SNPs. This study had a power of >or=95% to detect associations with variants carrying relative risks of >or=1.5 for heterozygote carriers and >or=2.25 for homozygote carriers. CONCLUSIONS Although SNPs in the NOD1 gene have been strongly associated with cases of IBD, the current study failed to show an association of NOD1 SNPs with AgP.

Abstract
The NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are a specialized group of intracellular receptors that represent a key component of the host innate immune system. Since the discovery of the first NLR almost 10 years ago, the study of this special class of microbial sensors has burgeoned; consequently, a better understanding of the mechanism by which these receptors recognize microbes and other danger signals and of how they activate inflammatory signaling pathways has emerged. Moreover, in addition to their primary role in host defense against invading pathogens, their ability to regulate nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) signaling, interleukin-1-beta (IL-1beta) production, and cell death indicates that they are crucial to the pathogenesis of a variety of inflammatory human diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain containing 1 (NOD1) gene encodes a pattern recognition receptor that senses pathogens, leading to downstream responses characteristic of innate immunity. We investigated the role of NOD1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on IBD risk in a New Zealand Caucasian population, and studied Nod1 expression in response to bacterial invasion in the Caco2 cell line. FINDINGS DNA samples from 388 Crohn's disease (CD), 405 ulcerative colitis (UC), 27 indeterminate colitis patients and 201 randomly selected controls, from Canterbury, New Zealand were screened for 3 common SNPs in NOD1, using the MassARRAY iPLEX Gold assay. Transcriptional activation of the protein produced by NOD1 (Nod1) was studied after infection of Caco2 cells with Escherichia coli LF82. Carrying the rs2075818 G allele decreased the risk of CD (OR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.50-0.88, p < 0.002) but not UC. There was an increased frequency of the three SNP (rs2075818, rs2075822, rs2907748) haplotype, CTG (p = 0.004) and a decreased frequency of the GTG haplotype (p = 0.02).in CD. The rs2075822 CT or TT genotypes were at an increased frequency (genotype p value = 0.02), while the rs2907748 AA or AG genotypes showed decreased frequencies in UC (p = 0.04), but not in CD. Functional assays showed that Nod1 is produced 6 hours after bacterial invasion of the Caco2 cell line. CONCLUSION The NOD1 gene is important in signalling invasion of colonic cells by pathogenic bacteria, indicative of its' key role in innate immunity. Carrying specific SNPs in this gene significantly modifies the risk of CD and/or UC in a New Zealand Caucasian population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) status and its relation to disease phenotype in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 301 Scottish patients with early-onset IBD-197 Crohn disease (CD), 76 ulcerative colitis (UC), 28 indeterminate colitis (IC)-and 78 healthy control individuals were studied. ASCA status (IgA, IgG) was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. ASCA status was then analyzed in relation to CD phenotype. RESULTS Patients with CD had a higher prevalence of ASCA than patients with UC and healthy controls: 82/197 versus 12/76, odds ratio (OR) 3.80 (1.93-7.50) and 82/197 versus 6/78, OR 8.56 (3.55-20.62), respectively. Univariate analysis showed that positive ASCA status was associated with oral CD (17/25 vs 59/153, OR 3.39 [1.38-8.34]), perianal CD (39/77 vs 38/108, OR 1.89 [1.04-3.44]) and the presence of granulomata (63/132 vs 15/52, OR 2.25 [1.13-4.48]) and also with markers of disease severity: raised C-reactive protein (44/90 vs 12/49, OR 2.95[1.36-6.37]), hypoalbuminemia (44/85 vs 20/74, OR 2.28[1.19-4.37]), and surgery (27/49 vs 54/147, OR 2.11 [1.10-4.06]). From multivariate analysis, the presence of oral disease (adjusted P = 0.001, OR 22.22 [3.41-142.86]) and hypoalbuminemia (adjusted P = 0.01, OR 4.78 [1.40-16.39]) was found to be independently associated with ASCA status. No association was demonstrated between ASCA and IBD candidate genes. CONCLUSIONS Patients with CD had a higher prevalence of ASCA than did other patients with IBD. ASCA status described patients with CD who had a specific phenotype, showing an association with markers of disease severity and oral CD involvement.

BACKGROUND NOD1/CARD4, a member of the pattern-recognition receptor family, is a perfect candidate as a susceptibility gene for Crohn's disease. Since only limited and conflicting data are available on G796A polymorphisms in inflammatory bowel disease patients, we set out to study the effect of this polymorphism on the susceptibility and course of Crohn's disease in the Hungarian population. METHODS Four hundred thirty-four unrelated Crohn's disease patients (age at presentation: 28.6+/-9.6 years, female/male: 210/224, duration of Crohn's disease: 8.2+/-6.9 years) and 200 healthy subjects (blood donors) and 136 non-inflammatory bowel disease gastrointestinal controls with chronic gastritis were investigated. NOD1 G796A was detected by using polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism. Detailed clinical phenotypes were determined by reviewing the medical charts. RESULTS The frequencies of the variant alleles of NOD1 G796A differed significantly between the Crohn's disease patients and both healthy (GG 49.5% vs. 67%; AG 41.5% vs. 28%; and AA 9.0% vs. 5.2%; p<0.0001) and non-inflammatory bowel disease controls with chronic gastritis. Carriage of the single nucleotide polymorphism of NOD1 G796A proved to be a highly significant risk factor for Crohn's disease compared to both healthy (p<0.0001, OR: 2.1, 95% CI: 1.5-2.9) and non-inflammatory bowel disease controls with chronic gastritis (p=0.008). Significant associations were not found between the different genotypes and the demographic data on the patients or the clinical characteristics of Crohn's disease. The different polymorphisms of pattern-recognition receptors (e.g. NOD2/CARD15 SNP8, SNP12 and SNP13 mutations, the TLR4 D299G polymorphism and NOD1 G796A) did not reveal a mutual basis. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that carriage of the NOD1 G796A mutation increases susceptibility for Crohn's disease in the Hungarian population.

Abstract
Great progress in the understanding of the molecular genetics of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been made over the last 10 years. Strong epidemiological evidence, based initially on concordance data in twin/family studies, led to the application of genome-wide linkage analysis involving multiply affected families and the identification of a number of susceptibility loci. Further characterization of the IBD1 locus on chromosome 16 led to the discovery of the NOD2/CARD15 gene as the first susceptibility gene in Crohn's disease for 2001. This landmark finding has led to a redirection of basic research in IBD with interest focused principally on regulation of the innate immune response and mucosal barrier function. Within the last year, the use of genome-wide association studies has provided new insights into primary pathogenetic mechanisms; several new genes such as the Interleukin-23 receptor (IL23R) and ATG16L1 (autophagy-related 16-like 1) genes are strongly implicated. Overall, these studies promise to change our fundamental understanding of IBD pathophysiology and to have implications for clinical practice.

Abstract
AIM: To examine genetic variation of nucleotide oligomerization domain 1 (NOD1) and NOD2, their respective influences on Crohn's disease phenotype and gene-gene interactions.
METHODS: (ND1+32656*1) NOD1 polymorphism and SNP8, SNP12 and SNP13 of NOD2 were analyzed in 97 patients and 50 controls. NOD2 variants were determined by reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. NOD1 genotyping and NOD2 variant confirmation were performed by specific amplification and sequencing.
RESULTS: The distribution of NOD1 polymorphism in patients was different from controls (P = 0.045) and not altered by existence of NOD2 mutations. In this cohort, 30.92% patients and 6% controls carried at least one NOD2 variant (P < 0.001) with R702W being the most frequent variant. Presence of at least one NOD2 mutation was inversely associated with colon involvement (9.09% with colon vs 36.4% with ileal or ileocolonic involvement, P = 0.04) and indicative of risk of penetrating disease (52.63% with penetrating vs 25.64% with non-penetrating or stricturing behavior, P = 0.02). L1007finsC and double NOD2 mutation conferred the highest risk for severity of disease (26.3% with penetrating disease vs 3.8% with non-penetrating or stricturing behavior presented L1007finsC, P = 0.01 and 21.0% with penetrating disease vs 2.5% with non-penentrating or stricturing behavior carried double NOD2 mutation, P = 0.007). Exclusion of patients with NOD2 mutations from phenotype/NOD1-genotype analysis revealed higher prevalence of *1*1 genotype in groups of younger age at onset and colonic location.
CONCLUSION: This study suggests population differences in the inheritance of risk NOD1 polymorphism and NOD2 mutations. Although no interaction between NOD1-NOD2 was noticed, a relationship between disease location and Nod-like receptor molecules was established.

Abstract
The term autoinflammatory syndromes describes a distinct group of systemic inflammatory diseases apparently different from infectious, autoimmune, allergic and immunodeficient ones. Originally, it was almost synonymous with clinically defined hereditary periodic fever syndromes, including familial Mediterranean fever, hyper immunoglobulin D syndrome with periodic fever and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome. Similar but distinct periodic fever syndromes accompanied by urticarial rash, familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome, Muckle-Wells syndrome and chronic infantile neurological cutaneous articular syndrome, have all been reportedly associated with CIAS1 mutations and are collectively called cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes. Consequently, the concept of autoinflammatory syndromes has been spread to contain other systemic inflammatory diseases: rare hereditary diseases with or without periodic fevers, such as pyogenic sterile arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum and acne syndrome, Blau syndrome and chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis, and the more common collagen disease-like diseases, such as Behcet's disease, Crohn's disease, sarcoidosis and psoriatic arthritis. These diseases are all caused by or associated with mutations of genes regulating innate immunity and have common clinical features accompanied with activation of neutrophils and/or monocytes/macrophages. In this review, major autoinflammatory syndromes are summarized and the pathophysiology of related skin disorders is discussed in association with dysregulated innate immune signaling.

Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and the nucleotide-binding domain, leucine rich repeat containing family (or Nod-like receptors, NLRs) are two important families of microbial sensors that are membrane-associated and cytosolic molecules, respectively. The Nod proteins Nod1 and Nod2 are two NLR family members that trigger immune defense in response to bacterial peptidoglycan. Nod proteins fight off bacterial infections by stimulating proinflammatory signaling and cytokine networks and by inducing antimicrobial effectors, such as nitric oxide and antimicrobial peptides. Nod1 is also critically implicated in shaping adaptive immune responses towards bacterial-derived constituents. In addition, recent evidence has demonstrated that mutations in Nod1 and Nod2 are associated with a number of human inflammatory disorders, including Crohn's disease, Blau syndrome, early-onset sarcoidosis, and atopic diseases. Together, Nod1 and Nod2 represent central players in the control of immune responses to bacterial infections and inflammation.
