NIK-Driven IL-23 Production by Myeloid Cells is a Key Factor in the Development of Autoimmune Inflammation [16S rRNA-seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This study investigates the role of NF-κB inducing kinase (NIK) in myeloid cells during the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). While NIK expression in circulating myeloid cells was found to be crucial for EAE pathogenesis, influencing T cell priming and IL-23 production, we sought to determine if these effects were mediated by alterations in the gut microbiota. To test this, we performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing on faecal samples from NIKfl/fl and NIK^CX3CR1 mice. Our results showed no significant differences in microbial composition between genotypes, indicating that the observed immune phenotype is independent of steady-state changes in the gut microbiome.
