Interestingly, WGA-cage-NCs were capable of invading rat intestinal villi and reaching to lamina propria by transcytosis across goblet cells, which behaved like a foodborne pathogen, Listeria monocytogenes.
It has been proposed that in the intestine, tissue-resident DCs are educated by epithelial cells to be tolerogenic, whereas newly infiltrating DCs induce inflammatory responses.56 In such a scenario, DCs can tolerate commensals, whereas pathogens capable of invading or activating epithelial cells will trigger the recruitment of pro-inflammatory DCs that will elicit immunity.
