Myeloid-stromal subtypes reveal NOD2-mediated Crohn's and rescue pathways

Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory intestinal disease, often characterized by aberrant healing and stricturing complications. Mechanisms underlying NOD2-pathogenicity and salvage pathways in anti-TNF and refractory patients remain largely uncharacterized. Here we show that loss of NOD2 function leads to aberrant activated fibroblast and macrophage homeostasis through the upregulation of a pathogenic signature, and propose new precision therapeutic approaches involving gp130 blockade for select CD patients, to potentially supplement anti-TNF therapy Single cell seq analysis of paired zebrafish larval intestine samples from untreated and DSS-treated fish
