  1. Selective Enhancement of NOD2 Anti-Bacterial Defenses in the Context of Crohn’s Disease Christine McDonald, PhD Department of Pathobiology Lerner Research Institute Cleveland Clinic

  2. DISCLOSURES • Nothing to disclose

  3. Crohn’s is a Multi-Factorial Disease Inappropriate Immune Response to Microbes in a Genetically Susceptible Individual

  4. Current Treatment Options • Anti-Inflammatory • Immune Suppressant • Biologic Therapies • Surgery Do Not Address the Underlying Cause of Disease

  5. NOD LRR CARD 1 28 220 273 577 744 1020 1040 Crohn’s Associated NOD2 Variants X XD R702W G980R L1007fsinsC • 3 major variants found in or near LRRs • Disease prevalence: • 1 variant: 30-50% prevalence, 2-4x increased risk • 2 variants: 10% carry, ~17-40x increased risk • Associated with early & aggressive disease • Variants result in loss of NOD2 function

  6. Novel Therapeutic Concept P A L A R702W G908R L1007fs NOD2 NOD2 is defective in many CD patients Restoration of NOD2 function will restore health

  8. PALA Enhances NOD2 Bacterial Killing Mouse Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophages

  9. Selective Enhancement of NOD2 Function Bacterial Clearance Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine Secretion Human Blood Monocyte-Derived Macrophages

  11. Summary • Decreased NOD2 function is linked to CD • CAD is a negative regulator of NOD2 • CAD inhibitor treatment: • Enhances bactericidal NOD2 functions without increasing inflammation • Protectsagainst experimental colitis • Increases function of CD-associated NOD2 variants • May represent a novel approach to CD therapy
