Targeted transcriptome analysis of isolated intestinal epithelial cells from mice with constitutive Ptpn2-deficiency [ILEUM]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Loss-of-function variants in the protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2) gene are associated with increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). PTPN2 encodes T cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TCPTP), a negative regulator of several intracellular signaling pathways including JAK-STAT. It has been shown that Ptpn2 is critical for intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) barrier maintenance, IEC-macrophage communication, and modulation of the gut microbiome in mice. However, the mechanisms by which Ptpn2 influences the intestinal flora are unknown. In this study, we aimed to identify how Ptpn2-loss affects the expression of genes associated with function/differentiation of IECs in the small and large intestines that could contribute to higher susceptibility to infection.
