Interaction_summary | The expression of five general intestinal genes, including GATA-regulated genes (ges-1, ifb-2) and genes that contribute to intestine structure development and maintenance (let-413, eps-8, and gob-1), was largely not affected by elt-2 knockdown. | ||||

Remark | Furthermore, knocking down the expression of ifb-2 did not affect susceptibility to PA14. Together, these results indicate that elt-2 knockdown in adult animals increases susceptibility to infection not through the impairment of general intestinal function but through its specific role in regulating immunity genes. |
