Manicassamy et al. (Reports, 13 August 2010, p. 849) deleted β-catenin in intestinal immune cells using a CD11c-driven Cre recombinase, which decreased anti-inflammatory mediators and increased inflammatory bowel disease. However, the deletion of β-catenin in macrophages remains a caveat to their interpretation that Wnt signaling programs dendritic cells into a tolerogenic state. Development of strains expressing Cre in a more finely lineage-restricted pattern may help resolve this issue.
马尼卡萨米等人(2010 年 8 月 13 日,第 849 页)在肠道免疫细胞中使用 CD11c 驱动的 Cre 重组酶删除 β-连环蛋白,从而减少抗炎介质并增加炎症性肠病。然而,巨噬细胞中 β-连环蛋白的缺失仍然是他们的解释中的一个警告,即 Wnt 信号通路将树突状细胞编程为耐受状态。表达 Cre 的菌株在更精细的谱系限制模式下的发展可能有助于解决这个问题。
