Therefore the group studies
with sophisticated imaging technology in vitro and ex vivo: i) the molecular mechanism driving the migration of HIV through the intestinal
epithelial barrier; ii) the cellular targets in the mucosa, in specific macrophages and DCs, to identify the possible pathways to invade the
tissue and disseminate to other organs; iii) the involvement of DCs and their functional properties in mediating adaptive immune responses at mucosal level; and iv) the role of antibodies
with different effector functions in changing the pathways of the virus.
Interestingly, RIPK2 has been demonstrated to be involved in the active growth of CD90 (+) intestinal stromal cells to suggest an «inflammatory» cross-talk between intestinal stromal cells and the
epithelial cells (Owens et al., 2013), and we can observe robust activation of RIPK2 in IBD colon
tissue sections immunostained
with our proprietary pY474 RIPK2 antibody (Salla et al., unpublished observations).
In human gastric
tissue, however, gastric
epithelial cell proliferation is significantly higher but apoptotic indices are lower among persons colonized
with cag + compared to cag - strains or uninfected persons leading us to postulate that reduced rates of cell loss, when accompanied by hyperproliferation, may heighten retention of mutagenized cells, which could predispose towards cancer.
