Abnormal activation of autophagy-induced crinophagy in Paneth cells from patients with Crohn's disease.

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy-related 16 like-1 (ATG16L-1), immunity-related GTPase-M (IRGM), and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing 2 (NOD2) regulate autophagy, and variants in these genes have been associated with predisposition to Crohn's disease (CD). However, little is known about the role of autophagy in CD. Intestinal biopsies from untreated pediatric patients with CD, celiac disease, or ulcerative colitis...
