The EBI2-oxysterol axis promotes the development of intestinal lymphoid structures and colitis
2018-09-24
Abstract excerpt
The gene encoding for Epstein-Barr virus-induced G-protein coupled receptor 2 (EBI2) is a risk gene for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Together with its oxysterol ligand 7α,25-dihydroxycholesterol, EBI2 mediates migration and differentiation of immune cells. However, the role of EBI2 in the colonic immune system remains insufficiently studied. We found increased mRNA expression of EBI2 and oxysterol synthesizin...
