Abstract

Background and aims

Mutations/polymorphisms in the CARD15/NOD2 gene and in the promoter region of the TNFα gene are associated with susceptibility to and modulate the phenotype of Crohn’s disease (CD). The molecular mechanisms for this genotype–phenotype correlation are yet to be elucidated. CARD15 is an intracellular receptor for bacterial muramyl dipeptide (MDP), and can elicit an inflammatory response via activation of the NF-κB pathway. MDP is also known to induce the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNFα, through a still poorly characterized signaling pathway. We sought to determine whether CARD15-mediated NF-κB activation can contribute to MDP-induced TNFα production and, consequently, if polymorphisms in both genes affect the control of such induction.

Methods/results

Transfection and electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) experiments in HEK293 cells demonstrated that MDP exposure stimulates TNFα gene transcription, as a result of CARD15-induced NF-κB activation and binding to TNFα promoter. When the CD-associated CARD15 1007fs variant was analyzed, induction of TNFα promoter activity was found to be defective. Different combinations of CARD15 and TNFα promoter polymorphisms gave rise to distinct TNFα transcription levels.

Conclusions

CARD15 and TNFα promoter polymorphisms interact to exert a functional effect on MDP-induced TNFα production. This gene–gene interaction may contribute to interindividual variation in susceptibility to, and manifestation of, Crohn’s disease.

Echinokokkose medikamentös behandeln oder operieren?

06.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Therapie von Echinokokkosen sollte immer in spezialisierten Zentren erfolgen. Eine symptomlose Echinokokkose kann – egal ob von Hunde- oder Fuchsbandwurm ausgelöst – konservativ erfolgen. Wenn eine Op. nötig ist, kann es sinnvoll sein, vorher Zysten zu leeren und zu desinfizieren. 

Recycling im OP – möglich, aber teuer

05.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Auch wenn sich Krankenhäuser nachhaltig und grün geben – sie tragen aktuell erheblich zu den CO2-Emissionen bei und produzieren jede Menge Müll. Ein Pilotprojekt aus Bonn zeigt, dass viele Op.-Abfälle wiederverwertet werden können.

Im OP der Zukunft läuft nichts mehr ohne Kollege Roboter

04.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Der OP in der Zukunft wird mit weniger Personal auskommen – nicht, weil die Technik das medizinische Fachpersonal verdrängt, sondern weil der Personalmangel es nötig macht.

Nur selten Nachblutungen nach Abszesstonsillektomie

03.05.2024 Tonsillektomie Nachrichten

In einer Metaanalyse von 18 Studien war die Rate von Nachblutungen nach einer Abszesstonsillektomie mit weniger als 7% recht niedrig. Nur rund 2% der Behandelten mussten nachoperiert werden. Die Therapie scheint damit recht sicher zu sein.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
