The intestine is composed of many distinct cell types that respond to commensal microbiota or pathogens with immune tolerance and proinflammatory signals respectively. ROS produced by mucosa-resident cells or by newly recruited innate immune cells are essential for antimicrobial responses and regulation of signalling pathways including processes involved in wound healing. Impaired ROS production due to inactivating patient variants in genes encoding NADPH oxidases as ROS source has been associated with Crohn's disease and pancolitis, whereas overproduction of ROS due to up-regulation of oxidases or altered mitochondrial function was linked to ileitis and ulcerative colitis. Here, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of how maintaining a redox balance is crucial to preserve gut homeostasis.

肠道由许多不同的细胞类型组成,这些细胞类型分别以免疫耐受和促炎信号对共生微生物群或病原体作出反应。黏膜驻留细胞或新招募的固有免疫细胞产生的活性氧(ROS)对于抗菌反应和信号通路的调节至关重要,这些信号通路包括伤口愈合过程。由于编码作为ROS来源的NADPH氧化酶的基因中的失活患者变体导致ROS产生受损,这与克罗恩病和全结肠炎有关,而由于氧化酶上调或线粒体功能改变导致的ROS过量产生与回肠炎和溃疡性结肠炎有关。在这里,我们讨论了在理解维持氧化还原平衡对维持肠道稳态至关重要方面的最新进展。
