abstract = {Environmental triggers acting at the intestinal barrier are
thought to contribute to the initiation of autoimmune
disorders. The transforming growth factor beta inhibitor
Smad7 determines the phenotype of CD4+ T cells. We
hypothesized that Smad7 in intestinal CD4+ T cells controls
initiation of opticospinal encephalomyelitis (OSE), a murine
model of multiple sclerosis (MS), depending on the presence
of gut microbiota. Smad7 was overexpressed or deleted in OSE
CD4+ T cells to determine the effect on clinical
progression, T cell differentiation, and T cell migration
from the intestine to the central nervous system (CNS).
Smad7 overexpression worsened the clinical course of OSE and
increased CNS inflammation and demyelination. It favored
expansion of intestinal CD4+ T cells toward an inflammatory
phenotype and migration of intestinal CD4+ T cells to the
CNS. Intestinal biopsies from MS patients revealed decreased
transforming growth factor beta signaling with a shift
toward inflammatory T cell subtypes. Smad7 in intestinal T
cells might represent a valuable therapeutic target for MS
to achieve immunologic tolerance in the intestine and
suppress CNS inflammation.},
