lüll Paneth cell alpha-defensins in enteric innate immunity Ouellette AJCell Mol Life Sci 2011[Jul]; 68 (13): 2215-29Paneth cells at the base of small intestinal crypts of Lieberkuhn secrete high levels of alpha-defensins in response to cholinergic and microbial stimuli. Paneth cell alpha-defensins are broad spectrum microbicides that function in the extracellular environment of the intestinal lumen, and they are responsible for the majority of secreted bactericidal peptide activity. Paneth cell alpha-defensins confer immunity to oral infection by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, and they are major determinants of the composition of the small intestinal microbiome. In addition to host defense molecules such as alpha-defensins, lysozyme, and Pla2g2a, Paneth cells also produce and release proinflammatory mediators as components of secretory granules. Disruption of Paneth cell homeostasis, with subsequent induction of endoplasmic reticulum stress, autophagy, or apoptosis, contributes to inflammation in diverse genetic and experimental mouse models.|Amino Acid Sequence[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Gene Expression[MESH]|Host-Pathogen Interactions[MESH]|Metagenome/immunology[MESH]|Mice[MESH]|Molecular Sequence Data[MESH]|Paneth Cells/*immunology/microbiology[MESH]|Protein Conformation[MESH]|Salmonella Infections/immunology[MESH]|Salmonella typhimurium/immunology[MESH]|Secretory Vesicles/immunology[MESH]|alpha-Defensins/chemistry/genetics/*metabolism[MESH] |
