TLE1 Modifies the Effects of NOD2 in the Pathogenesis of Crohn's Disease

Epistatic and biological interactions between TLE1 and NOD2 are involved in IBD pathogenesis. NOD2 might be involved in a series of pathways such as epigenetic regulation of expression (via TLE1 and HTATIP), biosynthesis of mucin (via GALNT2), apoptosis (via PPP2R5E and FIS1), and integrity of the intracellular cytoskeleton (vimentin).
