METHODS: Monocytes from 47 consecutively referred CD patients and 9 healthy blood donors were cultured with interleukin (IL)-4 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or muramyldipeptide (MDP), the putative ligand of NOD2. RESULTS: We found that monocytes from CD patients differentiated in vitro to mature dendritic cells (DCs), as determined by immunophenotype and morphology. IVOD2 genotype was assessed in all subjects, and we observed high CD86 expression on immature and LPS-stimulated DCs in IVOD2 mutated CD patients, as compared with wtlVOD2 CD patients and controls. By contrast, CD86 expression levels of DCs induced to maturity with MDP derived from IVOD2-mutated subjects were comparable to those of normal subjects. The amount of IL-12p70 in patient-cell cultures was larger than in controls aEer LPS treatment, but not aEer treatment with MDR CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that DCs obtained from patients with mutations in the IVOD2 gene display an activated phenotype characterized by high CD86 expression, but have a diminished response to MDP when compared to the terminal differentiation phase. We speculate that the altered differentiation of monocytes might lead to an imbalance between inflammation and the killing ability of monocytes, and may be relevant to the pathogenesis of CD.展开更多
