Quiz 4 Flashcards
Where in the mucus layer does commensal bacteria live and why?
outer layer
bottom layer is full of IgA creating a “no mans land”
What 2 ways can mucus and AMP secretion be triggered by IEC?
- IEC themselves when the sense PAMPs
- immune cells secrete cytokines that trigger IEC
What is peristalsis and how does cilia aid in it?
involuntary movement of gut muscles
cilia helps rid mucus
What is constitutive defense?
non-inflammatory process of eliminating pathogens via AMPs and IgA
IEC recognize pathogen via PRR, when its paneth cell that recognizes the PAMP, ________ is released
AMP
IEC recognize pathogen via PRR, when its goblet cell that recognizes the PAMP, ________ is released
mucins
When regular epithelial cell in gut recognize PAMPs via PRR they increase cell ____________
proliferation
Why do probiotics work?
bacteria ingested promotes barrier integrity
(cell turn over and increased mucus for clearance)
What does TLR 2 and 4 recognize?
bacterial peptidoglycan and LPS
Are TLR 2 and 4 expressed in high or low levels and why?
low
prevent over activation since they are on the apical side
What side are TLR 2 and 4 located?
apical
What does TLR 5 recognize?
bacteria that made it through the barrier
What side is TLR 5 located on?
basolateral
Is TLR 5 expressed in high or low levels and why?
high
bacteria should never be on basolateral side
TLR 2&4 and TLR 5 both use adaptor protein _________
MyD88
IECs can detect intracellular pathogens. Are these PRR up regulated or down regulated?
always up regulated because microbes should never be there
IEC secrete CCL___ which recruits CCR__ + dendritic cells to sub-epithelial dome of Peyer’s patch
CCL20
CCR6
IEC also secretes CX_____ which recruits APC that stick through the epithelium to sample lumen
CX3CR1
IEC produce ________ which is sensed by DCs in lamina properia and promotes tolerance
TSLP (thymic stromal lymphpoietin)
IEC produce _____ which is derived from vitamin A, and bacteria can also produce it as well as SCFA (short chain fatty acids) to promote tolerance in DCs.
RA (retinoic acids)
Once a DC samples antigen by sticking dendrite in between epithelial cells where does it go?
near by Peyer’s pacth or mesenteric lymph node
If a DC is activated by ________, _______ or ______ secreted by IEC, it will activate and expand Tregs to promote tolerance.
TSLP
RA
SCFA
IEC, stromal cells, and mast cells in lamina properia secretes IL-___ and _____ to attract monocytes
IL-8
TGF-b
CD___ on macrophages promotes inflammatory factors
CD14
Epithelial cells produce ________ which promotes B cell class switching
APRIL
