Abstract
The opioid system plays a crucial role in maintaining gastrointestinal homeostasis. Endogenous opioid peptide enkephalins have anti-inflammatory effect and participate in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Here, we investigated the effect of natural enkephalinase inhibitor human opiorphin (HO) on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. Our results showed that central administration of HO attenuated DSS-induced colitis, as indicated by the reduction of disease activity index (DAI) scores, macroscopic scores, histological scores, and the myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. Moreover, HO alleviated DSS-induced inflammation by decreasing inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, and increasing anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in both serum and colon tissues in DSS-treated mice. The potential anti-inflammatory effect of HO at a dose of 40 μg/kg was observed as evidenced by a decrease in nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) p65, toll-like receptor-4 (TLR-4), iNOS, and COX-2. HO also improved intestinal barrier function by enhancing the expression of tight junction proteins. Furthermore, HO treatment significantly inhibited activities of neutral endopeptidase (NEP) and aminopeptidase N (APN), elevated serum enkephalins concentrations, and increased expressions of mu and delta opioid receptors. In addition, pretreatment with opioid receptor antagonist naloxone hydrochloride (NH) compromised the protective effect of HO and aggravated colitis symptoms, as indicated by inhibited anti-inflammatory effects, disrupted intestinal barrier function, and decreased opioid receptor activity. In conclusion, these data indicate that HO protects against DSS-induced colitis by inhibiting TLR4/NF-κB pathway activation and improving intestinal barrier function through activation of the endogenous opioid system. Therefore, targeting the opioid system with peptidase inhibitors intervention would be a novel strategy in the therapy of IBD.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) comprises a group of intestinal disorders, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Currently, the incidence and prevalence of IBD are increasing globally. Although both biologic agents and small molecule drugs have been available for treatment of IBD patients, approximately one third of treated patients do not respond to these treatments. Therefore, novel therapy or repurposing of drugs have been extensively studied to obtain an effective therapy for IBD patients. Among these drugs, metformin has been reported to exert beneficial effects in many organs via its anti-inflammatory effect. Additionally, evidence from cellular to clinical models of IBD demonstrated significant positive effects of metformin on inflammatory pathways, oxidative stress, gut barrier integrity, and gut microbiota. In this review, the beneficial effects of metformin on IBD are comprehensively summarized and discussed using the results of in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies. Increased understanding of these protective effects and the underlying mechanisms may pave the way for effective use of metformin in IBD patients.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a recurring inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract with unclear etiology, but it is thought to be related to factors like immune abnormalities and gut microbial dysbiosis. Probiotics can regulate host immunity and gut microbiota; thus, we investigated the alleviation effect and mechanism of the strain Lactobacillus gasseri G098 (G098) on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. Three groups of mice (n = 8 per group) were included: normal control (NC), DSS-induced colitis mice (DSS), and colitis mice given strain (G098). Our results showed that administering G098 effectively reversed DSS-induced colitis-associated symptoms (mitigating weight loss, reducing disease activity index and pathology scores; p < 0.05 in all cases) and prevented DSS-induced mortality (62.5% in DSS group; 100% in G098 group). The mortality rate and symptom improvement by G098 administration was accompanied by a healthier serum cytokine balance (significant decreases in serum pro-inflammatory factors, interleukin (IL)-6 [p < 0.05], IL-1β [p < 0.01], and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α [p < 0.001], and significant increase in the serum anti-inflammatory factor IL-13 [p < 0.01], compared with DSS group) and gut microbiome modulation (characterized by a higher gut microbiota diversity [p < 0.05], significantly more Firmicutes and Lachnoclostridium [p < 0.05], significantly fewer Bacteroidetes [p < 0.05], and significant higher gene abundances of sugar degradation-related pathways [p < 0.05], compared with DSS-treated group). Taken altogether, our results suggested that G098 intake could mitigate DSS-induced colitis through modulating host immunity and gut microbiome, and strain treatment is a promising strategy for managing IBD.

Abstract
Although there are number of available therapies for ulcerative colitis (UC), many patients are unresponsive to these treatments or experience secondary failure during treatment. Thus, the development of new therapies or alternative strategies with minimal side effects is inevitable. Strategies targeting dysbiosis of gut microbiota have been tested in the management of UC due to the unquestionable role of gut microbiota in the etiology of UC. Advanced molecular analyses of gut microbiomes revealed evident dysbiosis in UC patients, characterized by a reduced biodiversity of commensal microbiota. Administration of conventional probiotic strains is a commonly applied approach in the management of the disease to modify the gut microbiome, improve intestinal barrier integrity and function, and maintain a balanced immune response. However, conventional probiotics do not always provide the expected health benefits to a patient. Their benefits vary significantly, depending on the type and stage of the disease and the strain and dose of the probiotics administered. Their mechanism of action is also strain-dependent. Recently, new candidates for potential next-generation probiotics have been discovered. This could bring to light new approaches in the restoration of microbiome homeostasis and in UC treatment in a targeted manner. The aim of this paper is to provide an updated review on the current options of probiotic-based therapies, highlight the effective conventional probiotic strains, and outline the future possibilities of next-generation probiotic and postbiotic supplementation and fecal microbiota transplantation in the management of UC.

Abstract
BackgroundSeveral studies have shown that neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Parkinson’s disease [PD] and Alzheimer’s disease [AD]) are associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but the causality and direction of their associations remain unclear. Mendelian randomization (MR) studies have explored the causal effects of IBD on PD and AD. However, only a few studies examined this reverse association. Thus, this study aimed to explore whether there are causal associations of genetically predicted PD and AD with IBD, using a two-sample MR study.MethodsSummary statistics for IBD, ulcerative colitis (UC), and Crohn’s disease (CD) were derived from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis, which included the International IBD Genetics Consortium and the UK IBD Genetics Consortium (n=59,957). Genetic variants associated with the largest meta-analysis of GWAS of PD (n=1,474,097) and AD (n=455,258) were used as instrumental variables. We used multiple methods, including inverse variance weighted (IVW), weighted median (WM), MR-Egger regression, weighted mode, and Robust Adjusted Profile Score (RAPS) methods, to estimate the effects of genetically predicted PD and AD on IBD. To confirm the validity of the analysis, we also evaluated the pleiotropic effects, heterogeneity, and leave-one-out sensitivity analysis that drive causal associations.ResultsThe results of the IVW method, WM, and RAPS showed that genetically predicted PD was significantly associated with an increased risk of UC (odds ratio [OR]IVW=1.068, ORWM=1.107, ORRAPS=1.069, all P<0.05). Additionally, we found that there were significant associations of genetically predicted PD with CD (ORIVW=1.064, ORRAPS=1.065, all P<0.05) and IBD (ORIVW=1.062, ORRAPS=1.063, all P<0.05) using the IVW method and RAPS. However, there was no significant causal evidence of genetically predicted AD in IBD, UC, or CD among all MR methods. In all MR analyses, there were no horizontal pleiotropy (all P>0.05), or statistical heterogeneity. The sensitivity analysis results of the leave-one-out sensitivity analysis showed that the causal effect estimations of genetically predicted PD and AD on IBD were robust.ConclusionsOur MR study corroborated a causal association between genetically predicted PD and IBD but did not support a causal effect of genetically predicted AD on IBD. More animal experiments or population-based observational studies are required to clarify the underlying mechanisms of PD and IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic relapsing-remitting inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract that are typically categorized into two subtypes: Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Although MSCs therapy has achieved encouraging outcomes in IBD therapy, objective responses are limited in colon fibrosis stenosis owing to the complicated microenvironment of CD and MSCs heterogeneity of quality. Here, we chose IFN-γ and kynurenic acid (KYNA) to overcome the low response and heterogeneity of human adipose-derived MSCs (hADSCs) to treat IBD and expand the therapeutic effects based on the excellent ability of IFN-γ and KYNA to promote indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO-1) signaling, providing a potential protocol to treat IBD and fibrosis disease. METHODS hADSCs were isolated, cultured, and identified from human abdominal adipose tissue. The CD pathology-like acute colitis and chronic colon fibrosis rat model was induced by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzen sulfonic acid (TNBS). hADSCs were pretreated in vitro with IFN-γ and KYNA and then were transplanted intravenously at day 1 and 3 of TNBS administration in colitis along with at day 1, 15, and 29 of TNBS administration in chronic colonic fibrosis. Therapeutic efficacy was evaluated by body weights, disease activity index, pathological staining, real-time PCR, Western blot, and flow cytometry. For knockout of IDO-1, hADSCs were transfected with IDO-1-targeting small gRNA carried on a CRISPR-Cas9-lentivirus vector. RESULTS hADSCs treated with IFN-γ and KYNA significantly upregulated the expression and secretion of IDO-1, which has effectively ameliorated CD pathology-like colitis injury and fibrosis. Notably, the ability of hADSCs with IDO-1 knockout to treat colitis was significantly impaired and diminished the protective effects of the primed hADSCs with IFN-γ and KYNA. CONCLUSION Inflammatory cytokines IFN-γ- and KYNA-treated hADSCs more effectively alleviate TNBS-induced colitis and colonic fibrosis through an IDO-1-dependent manner. Primed hADSCs are a promising new strategy to improve the therapeutic efficacy of MSCs and worth further research.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases are considered immune disorders with a complex genetic architecture involving constantly changing endogenous and exogenous factors. The rapid evolution of genomic technologies and the emergence of newly discovered molecular actors are compelling the research community to reevaluate the knowledge and molecular processes. The human intestinal tract contains intestinal human microbiota consisting of commensal, pathogenic, and symbiotic strains leading to immune responses that can contribute and lead to both systemic and intestinal disorders including IBD. In this review, we attempted to highlight some updates of the new IBD features related to genomics, microbiota, new emerging therapies and some major established IBD risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal T cells are key in gut barrier function. Their role in early stages of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) remain unknown. AIM To explore the links between intestinal T cells, microbial translocation and ALD METHODS: Patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) following a rehabilitation programme were compared to subjects with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and healthy controls. Clinical and laboratory data (liver stiffness, controlled attenuation parameter, AST, ALT, K18-M65) served to identify AUD patients with isolated steatosis (minimal liver disease) or steatohepatitis/fibrosis (ALD). Serum microbial translocation markers were measured by ELISA, duodenal and plasma levels of sphingolipids by targeted LC-MS. T lymphocytes in duodenal biopsies were characterised by immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry and RNA sequencing on FACS-sorted cells. Mechanisms for T-cell alterations were assessed in vitro. RESULTS Patients with ALD, but not those with minimal liver disease, showed reduced numbers of duodenal CD8+ T resident memory (TRM) cells compared to controls or patients with NAFLD. TRM transcriptomic analysis, in vitro analyses and pharmacological inhibition of cathepsin B confirmed TRM apoptosis driven by lysosomal membrane permeabilisation and cathepsin B release into the cytosol. Altered lipid metabolism and increased duodenal and plasma sphingolipids correlated with apoptosis. Dihydroceramide dose-dependently reduced viability of TRM. Duodenal TRM phenotypic changes, apoptosis and transcriptomic alterations correlated with increased levels of microbial translocation markers. Short-term abstinence did not reverse TRM cell death in patients with ALD. CONCLUSIONS Duodenal CD8+ TRM apoptosis related to functional changes in lysosomes and lipid metabolism points to impaired gut adaptive immunity specifically in patients with AUD who developed early ALD.

Proteomic analyses do not reveal subclinical inflammation in fatigued patients with clinically quiescent inflammatory bowel disease. Sci Rep 2022; 12:14581. [PMID: 36028644 PMCID: PMC9418325 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-17504-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2022] [Accepted: 07/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Fatigue is a common and clinically challenging symptom in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), occurring in ~ 50% of patients with quiescent disease. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether fatigue in patients with clinically quiescent IBD is reflected by circulating inflammatory proteins, which might reflect ongoing subclinical inflammation. Ninety-two (92) different inflammation-related proteins were measured in plasma of 350 patients with clinically quiescent IBD. Quiescent IBD was defined as clinical (Harvey-Bradshaw Index < 5 or Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index < 2.5) and biochemical remission (C-reactive protein < 5 mg/L and absence of anemia) at time of fatigue assessment. Leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIF-R) concentrations were inversely associated with severe fatigue, also after adjustment for confounding factors (nominal P < 0.05). Although solely LIF-R showed weak ability to discriminate between mild and severe fatigue (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.61, 95%CI: 0.53–0.69, P < 0.05), a combined set of the top seven (7) fatigue-associated proteins (all P < 0.10) was observed to have reasonable discriminative performance (AUC = 0.82 [95%CI: 0.74–0.91], P < 0.01). Fatigue in patients with IBD is not clearly reflected by distinct protein signatures, suggesting there is no subclinical inflammation defined by the studied inflammatory proteins. Future studies are warranted to investigate other proteomic markers that may reflect fatigue in clinically quiescent IBD.

Rapamycin Alleviates 2,4,6-Trinitrobenzene Sulfonic Acid-Induced Colitis through Autophagy Induction and NF-κB Pathway Inhibition in Mice. Mediators Inflamm 2022; 2022:2923216. [PMID: 36032781 PMCID: PMC9410967 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2923216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Revised: 07/17/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Recent genetic studies indicated that variants of autophagy genes were associated with the predisposition of Crohn's disease (CD). The autophagy deficiency may affect the innate and adaptive immunity, which is related to persistent and excessive inflammation of the bowel. However, it remains unclear how autophagy modulates the expression of immune response regulator NF-κB and proinflammatory cytokine TNF-α in CD. Aim We aimed to investigate the role of rapamycin on the expression of NF-κB p65 and TNF-α in 2, 4, 6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced mouse colitis and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced HT-29 cells. Methods TNBS-induced colitis mice were treated with saline or rapamycin, and the disease activity index (DAI) and histological scores of colonic mucosa were evaluated. The expressions of p65, ATG16L1 and LC3 were detected by western blot and immunohistochemistry staining. The monodansylcadaverine (MDC) staining and transmission electron microscopy were developed to study the autophagy in LPS-induced HT-29 cells. Expression of TNF-α from colon tissue and HT-29 cells were detected by ELISA. The expressions of p65, ATG16L1 and LC3 in active CD patients were also investigated. Results Significantly more autophagosomes were observed in rapamycin-treated cells than in controls. Rapamycin remarkably upregulated the expression of ATG16L1 and LC3II, inhibited p65 nucleus translocation and secretion of TNF-α both in vivo and in vitro. The expression of both ATG16L1 and LC3II increased in mild to moderate CD specimens, while no significant difference was noted between severe CD and normal controls. The expression of p65 increased notably in severe CD compared to those in mild to moderate patients. Conclusions In LPS-treated HT-29 cells and TNBS-induced colitis, p65 is overexpressed, which results in exaggerated secretion of TNF-α and induce or worsen the inflammation in the bowel. Rapamycin protects against colitis through induction of autophagy, thus inhibiting the activation of NF-κB pathway and secretion of TNF-α.

Deficiency of the Two-Pore Potassium Channel KCNK9 Impairs Intestinal Epithelial Cell Survival and Aggravates Dextran Sodium Sulfate-Induced Colitis. Cell Mol Gastroenterol Hepatol 2022; 14:1199-1211. [PMID: 35973573 PMCID: PMC9579309 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcmgh.2022.08.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2021] [Revised: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/10/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The 2-pore potassium channel subfamily K member 9 (KCNK9) regulates intracellular calcium concentration and thus modulates cell survival and inflammatory signaling pathways. It also was recognized as a risk allele for inflammatory bowel disease. However, it remains unclear whether KCNK9 modulates inflammatory bowel disease via its impact on immune cell function or whether its influence on calcium homeostasis also is relevant in intestinal epithelial cells. METHODS Kcnk9-/- mice were challenged with 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) to induce experimental acute colitis. Primary cultures of intestinal epithelial cells were generated, and expression of potassium channels as well as cytosolic calcium levels and susceptibility to apoptosis were evaluated. Furthermore, we evaluated whether KCNK9 deficiency was compensated by the closely related 2-pore potassium channel KCNK3 in vivo or in vitro. RESULTS Compared with controls, KCNK9 deficiency or its pharmacologic blockade were associated with aggravated DSS-induced colitis compared with wild-type animals. In the absence of KCNK9, intestinal epithelial cells showed increased intracellular calcium levels and were more prone to mitochondrial damage and caspase-9-dependent apoptosis. We found that expression of KCNK3 was increased in Kcnk9-/- mice but did not prevent apoptosis after DSS exposure. Conversely, increased levels of KCNK9 in Kcnk3-/- mice were associated with an ameliorated course of DSS-induced colitis. CONCLUSIONS KCNK9 enhances mitochondrial stability, reduces apoptosis, und thus supports epithelial cell survival after DSS exposure in vivo and in vitro. Conversely, its increased expression in Kcnk3-/- resulted in less mitochondrial damage and apoptosis and was associated with beneficial outcomes in DSS-induced colitis.

Abstract
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBDs) are chronic disorders with iterative intestinal mucosal inflammation which remain unmet medical needs. PDE4 inhibitors were reported to be novel anti-IBD agents, but their clinical use was hampered by side effects such as emesis and nausea. Herein, structure-based discovery of natural mangostanin (1) targeting the M-pocket resulted in the novel and potent PDE4 inhibitor 22d (IC50 = 3.5 nM) and favorable physico-chemical properties. X-Ray study revealed that 22d interacted tightly with the M-pocket and maintained the key interactions between PDE4 and roflumilast. Worthy to note that compounds 22d and our previously reported 4e and 18a, originating from mangostanin, all caused no emesis on beagle dogs at the oral dose of 10 mg/kg, confirming the safety superiority of scaffold in mangostanin derivatives over that in positive roflumilast. Finally, administration of 22d (5.0 mg/kg, twice-daily) exhibited comparable anti-IBD effects to the positive control dipyridamole (25.0 mg/kg, twice-daily) in the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced IBD mice model, indicating its potential as a novel anti-IBD agent.

Abstract
Cepharanthine (CEP) is an active alkaloid isolated from Stephania Cepharantha Hayata. It is reported that the anti-inflammatory properties of CEP could be employed to treat a variety of diseases. In this study, we first found that CEP ameliorates ulcerative colitis (UC) induced by DSS. The effect of CEP on gut microbiota was further evaluated by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, antibiotic pretreatment and faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Results showed that the abundances of gut microbiota, such as Romboutsia, Turicibacter and Escherichia-Shigella (especially Romboutsia), were significantly reduced after CEP treatment. Additionally, we explored the mechanisms of CEP by a strategy integrating transcriptomics with network pharmacology. The transcriptome data confirmed that CEP functioned through cytokine and cytokine receptor pathways. The expression levels of 10 pro-inflammatory hub genes (such as CXCL1, CXCL9, CCL7) were positively correlated with the abundance of Romboutsia. Our data identified Romboutsia as a potential pathobiont in UC. Collectively, we confirmed that CEP relieved colon inflammation by modulating gut microbiota and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. CEP can be adopted to design novel effective therapeutic strategies for UC.

Abstract
Deubiquitinates (DUBs) alter the stabilities, localizations or activities of substrates by removing their ubiquitin conjugates, which are closely related to the development of inflammatory response. Here, we show that ubiquitin-specific protease 47 (USP47) prevents inflammation development in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Compared with wild-type mice, Usp47 knockout mice are more susceptible to dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced acute and chronic colitis with higher inflammatory cytokines expression and severe intestinal tissue damage. Chimeric mouse experiments suggest that non-hematopoietic cells mainly contribute to the phenotype. And, DSS-induced colitis of the Usp47 knockout mice depends on commensal bacteria. Mechanistically, down-regulation of USP47 aggravates the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway by increasing the K63-linked poly-ubiquitination of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) in intestinal epithelial cells. Furthermore, the expression of USP47, negatively correlated with the degree of inflammation, is lower at colonic inflammatory lesions than that non-inflammatory sites from the intestine from ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) patients. These data, taken together, indicate that USP47 regulates intestinal inflammation through de-ubiquitination of K63-linked poly-ubiquitination TRAF6 in intestinal epithelial cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Thiopurines are widely used to maintain remission in both ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Reported effectiveness and tolerability rates have been variable across studies. There are only sparse data in Asian population regarding the long-term efficacy and safety of thiopurines. METHODS Records of 5351 patients followed up at inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) clinic, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi from 2004 to 2020 were evaluated retrospectively. Safety was evaluated in terms of long-term adverse events and development of malignancy. RESULTS Of 5351 patients with IBD, 1093 who received thiopurine for > 3 months (UC = 788 [proctitis-1.9%, left-sided colitis-44.9%, & pancolitis-53.1%] & CD = 305 [inflammatory-42.6%, stricturing-46.9%, & fistulizing-10.5%]) were included (60.8%-male patients). Follow up and treatment duration on thiopurine were 7 (4-12) years and 39.4 ± 40.3 months, respectively, with 254 (23.2%) patients receiving thiopurines for more than 5 and 68 (6.2%) receiving for more than 10 years. Three hundred and fifty-nine (UC: 249 [31.6%]; CD: 110 [36.1%]; P = 0.1) patients developed adverse events; commonest was myelosuppression (23.4%) followed by gastrointestinal intolerance (3%), flu-like illness (1.7%), and arthralgia/myalgia (1.4%). Myelosuppression was the commonest cause of thiopurine withdrawal. No patient (including 254 patients on thiopurine for ≥ 5 years) developed lymphoma or non-melanoma skin cancer. The cumulative probability of staying free from adverse events in overall IBD cohort at 1, 2, and 5 years was 78.6%, 71.9%, and 68.4%, respectively, and this was comparable between UC and CD (P = 0.09). CONCLUSION Long-term follow up of patients with IBD from northern India on thiopurine monotherapy demonstrated minimal risk of development of lymphoma as well as non-melanoma skin cancer.

Dextran sodium sulfate potentiates NLRP3 inflammasome activation by modulating the KCa3.1 potassium channel in a mouse model of colitis. Cell Mol Immunol 2022; 19:925-943.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, has increased in incidence and prevalence in recent decades. Both clinical and animal studies are critical for understanding the pathogenesis of this disease. Dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis is a frequently used animal model of IBD, but the underlying mechanism of the model remains incompletely understood. In this study, we found that NOD-like receptor family pyrin containing 3 (NLRP3) depletion markedly mitigated DSS-induced colitis and was accompanied by decreased activation of the inflammasome in the colons of mice. However, in vitro assays showed that DSS did not directly trigger but instead potentiated NLRP3 inflammasome assembly in macrophages in response to suboptimal ATP or nigericin stimulation. Mechanistically, DSS potentiated NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages by augmenting KCa3.1-mediated potassium ion (K+) efflux. Furthermore, we found that pharmacologic blockade of the K+ channel KCa3.1 with TRAM-34 or genetic depletion of the Kcnn4 gene (encoding KCa3.1) not only ameliorated the severity of DSS-induced colitis but also attenuated in vivo inflammasome assembly in the colonic tissues of mice, suggesting a causal link between KCa3.1-mediated augmentation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and DSS-induced inflammatory injuries. Collectively, these results indicate that KCa3.1 plays a critical role in mediating DSS-induced colitis in mice by potentiating NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Our data provide a previously unknown mechanism by which DSS induces colitis in mice and suggests that KCa3.1 is an alternative therapeutic target for treating IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Disease Severity Index (DSI) is a novel tool to predict disease severity in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, its ability to predict disease complications and the presence of psychosocial comorbidity is unclear. AIMS To assess prospectively associations between the DSI and psychological symptoms, quality-of-life (QoL) and disease outcomes in an IBD cohort. METHODS Patients with IBD undergoing ileocolonoscopy were followed prospectively for 12 months. DSI, psychological symptoms (perceived stress (PSS-10), depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7)) and QoL (IBDQ-32) scores were assessed at baseline. Logistic regression identified variables predicting a complicated IBD course at 12 months (composite outcome of need for escalation of biological/immunomodulator for disease relapse, recurrent corticosteroid use, IBD-related hospitalisation and surgery). Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis identified optimal DSI thresholds predicting a complicated disease course and multivariable logistic regression assessed the risk of reaching this outcome. RESULTS One hundred and seventy-two patients were recruited (100 Crohn's disease, 91 female). Median DSI was 21 (IQR 11-32) and 97 patients had endoscopically active disease at baseline. The DSI was significantly higher in patients with symptoms of moderate-severe stress (PSS-10 > 14, p < 0.01), depression (PHQ-9 ≥ 10, p < 0.01), anxiety (GAD-7 ≥ 10, p < 0.05) and impaired quality-of-life (IBDQ-32 < 168, p < 0.01). Only the baseline DSI (OR 1.05, p < 0.01) and endoscopically active disease (OR 6.12, p < 0.01) were associated with a complicated IBD course. A DSI > 23 was strongly predictive of a complicated IBD course (OR 8.31, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The DSI is associated with psychological distress, impaired QoL and predicts a more complicated disease course in patients with IBD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic immune-mediated disease of the gastrointestinal tract comprising Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). While any part of the digestive tract can be affected in CD, mucosal inflammation in UC is limited to the colon. Differences and similarities between the two conditions are reflected by their pathophysiology. AREAS COVERED An overview of immunological aspects, pharmacological management, and biomarkers of IBD is provided. The role of adsorptive granulocyte and monocyte apheresis (GMA) is reviewed including its primary and secondary effects on the immune system, as well as clinical studies in IBD (mainly UC), and potential biomarkers for adsorptive GMA. EXPERT OPINION In UC, adsorptive GMA with Adacolumn (Adacolumn®, JIMRO Co., Ltd. Takasaki, Gunma, Japan) selectively depletes elevated myeloid lineage leukocytes and has a range of beneficial secondary immune effects. Adsorptive GMA is a safe and effective non-pharmacological treatment option for UC. Pilot studies have reported promising results for adsorptive GMA in combination with biological agents, although larger studies are required. Fecal calprotectin concentrations, neutrophil counts in histological samples and/or the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio in peripheral blood may prove to be useful biomarkers for predicting GMA effectiveness in the future.

Serological biomarkers of type I, III and IV collagen turnover are associated with the presence and future progression of stricturing and penetrating Crohn's disease. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2022; 56:675-693. [PMID: 35661188 PMCID: PMC9544881 DOI: 10.1111/apt.17063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2022] [Revised: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased collagen remodelling is a key pathophysiological component underlying intestinal stricture and fistula development in Crohn's disease (CD). AIMS To investigate associations between serological biomarkers of collagen turnover and disease behaviour according to the Montreal classification in patients with CD. METHODS Serological biomarkers of type III/IV collagen formation (PRO-C3, PRO-C4) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) or granzyme-B (GrzB)-mediated type I, III, IV and VI collagen degradation (C1M, C3M, C4M, C4G, C6Ma3) were measured using neo-epitope protein fingerprint assays in 101 patients with CD (Montreal B1: n = 37; B2: n = 27; B3: n = 37) and 96 controls. Patients were followed up until their last outpatient visit to monitor stricturing/penetrating disease progression and recurrence and the occurrence of surgical interventions. RESULTS C1M, C3M and C4M were significantly reduced in patients with stricturing disease (Montreal B2) and accurately differentiated them from patients with either non-stricturing, non-penetrating (B1) or penetrating (B3) disease (all p < 0.001, multivariable analysis). Similarly, the type IV collagen formation/degradation (PRO-C4/C4M) ratio demonstrated high discriminative capacity (B1/B2: AUC = 0.90; B1/B3: AUC = 0.87, both p < 0.001, multivariable analysis). Prospectively, higher baseline levels of C1M and C4G were associated with an increased risk of penetrating disease progression (C4G: hazard ratio [HR] 1.71 [1.05-2.81], p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Elevated degradation of type I, III and IV collagen and excessive (relative) formation of type IV collagen strongly associates with stricturing CD. Type I and IV collagen fragments show predictive potential for the risk of penetrating disease progression. These biomarkers may become valuable tools for detection and prediction of stricturing and penetrating CD.

Abstract
As a group of chronic and idiopathic gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by recurrent intestinal mucosal inflammation. Oral administration is critical for the treatment of IBD. Unfortunately, it is difficult to target the bowel located in the GI tract due to multiple physical barriers. The unique physicochemical properties of nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) and their enhanced permeability and retention effects in the inflamed bowel, render nanomedicines to be used to implement precise drug delivery at diseased sites in IBD therapy. In this review, we described the pathophysiological features of IBD, and designed strategies to exploit these features for intestinal targeting. In addition, we introduced the types of currently developed nano-targeted carriers, including synthetic nanoparticle-based and emerging naturally derived nanoparticles (e.g., extracellular vesicles and plant-derived nanoparticles). Moreover, recent developments in targeted oral nanoparticles for IBD therapy were also highlighted. Finally, we presented challenges associated with nanotechnology and potential directions for future IBD treatment.

Abstract
During the 21st century, the incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is rising globally. Despite the pathogenesis of IBD remaining largely unclear, the interactions between environmental exposure, host genetics and immune response contribute to the occurrence and development of this disease. Growing evidence implicates that food additives might be closely related to IBD, but the involved molecular mechanisms are still poorly understood. Food additives may be categorized as distinct types in accordance with their function and property, including artificial sweeteners, preservatives, food colorant, emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners and so on. Various kinds of food additives play a role in modifying the interaction between gut microbiota and intestinal inflammation. Therefore, this review comprehensively synthesizes the current evidence on the interplay between different food additives and gut microbiome alterations, and further elucidates the potential mechanisms of food additives–associated microbiota changes involved in IBD.

Abstract
Mucosal healing in the gut is an essential process when it comes to chronic inflammatory disorders such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) but also to the creation of intestinal anastomosis. Despite an improvement of surgical techniques, the rates of anastomotic leakage remain substantial and represent a significant health-care and socio-economic burden. Recent research has focused on intrinsic factors such as mucosal linings and differences in the intestinal microbiota and identified specific endoluminal bacteria and epithelial proteins which influence intestinal wound healing and re-establishment of mucosal homeostasis. Despite the lack of large clinical studies, previous data indicate that the identified bacteria such as aerotolerant lactobacilli or wound-associated Akkermansia muciniphila as well as epithelial-expressed sialyl Lewis glycans or CD47 might be critical for wound and anastomotic healing in the gut, thus, providing a potential novel approach for future treatment strategies in colorectal surgery and IBD therapy. Since microbiota and mucosa are interacting closely, we outline the current discoveries about both subsets in this review together to demonstrate the significant interplay

Epithelial chemerin-CMKLR1 signaling restricts microbiota-driven colonic neutrophilia and tumorigenesis by up-regulating lactoperoxidase. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2022; 119:e2205574119.

Abstract
Intestinal barrier immunity is essential for controlling gut microbiota without eliciting harmful immune responses, while its defect contributes to the breakdown of intestinal homeostasis and colitis development. Chemerin, which is abundantly expressed in barrier tissues, has been demonstrated to regulate tissue inflammation via CMKLR1, its functional receptor. Several studies have reported the association between increased expression of chemerin-CMKLR1 and disease severity and immunotherapy resistance in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. However, the pathophysiological role of endogenous chemerin-CMKLR1 signaling in intestinal homeostasis remains elusive. We herein demonstrated that deficiency of chemerin or intestinal epithelial cell (IEC)-specific CMKLR1 conferred high susceptibility to microbiota-driven neutrophilic colon inflammation and subsequent tumorigenesis in mice following epithelial injury. Unexpectedly, we found that lack of chemerin-CMKLR1 signaling specifically reduced expression of lactoperoxidase (LPO), a peroxidase that is predominantly expressed in colonic ECs and utilizes H2O2 to oxidize thiocyanates to the antibiotic compound, thereby leading to the outgrowth and mucosal invasion of gram-negative bacteria and dysregulated CXCL1/2-mediated neutrophilia. Importantly, decreased LPO expression was causally linked to aggravated microbiota-driven colitis and associated tumorigenesis, as LPO supplementation could completely rescue such phenotypes in mice deficient in epithelial chemerin-CMKLR1 signaling. Moreover, epithelial chemerin-CMKLR1 signaling is necessary for early host defense against bacterial infection in an LPO-dependent manner. Collectively, our study reveals that the chemerin-CMKLR1/LPO axis represents an unrecognized immune mechanism that potentiates epithelial antimicrobial defense and restricts harmful colonic neutrophilia and suggests that LPO supplementation may be beneficial for microbiota dysbiosis in IBD patients with a defective innate antimicrobial mechanism.

Abstract
The development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with alterations in the gut microbiota. There is currently no universal treatment for this disease, thus emphasizing the importance of developing innovative therapeutic approaches. Gut microbiome-derived metabolite butyrate with its well-known anti-inflammatory effect in the gut is a promising candidate. Due to increased intestinal permeability during IBD, butyrate may also reach the liver and influence liver physiology, including hepatic drug metabolism. To get an insight into this reason, the aim of this study was set to clarify not only the protective effects of the sodium butyrate (SB) administration on colonic inflammation but also the effects of SB on hepatic drug metabolism in experimental colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) in mice. It has been shown here that the butyrate pre-treatment can alleviate gut inflammation and reduce the leakiness of colonic epithelium by restoration of the assembly of tight-junction protein Zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) in mice with DSS-induced colitis. In this article, butyrate along with inflammation has also been shown to affect the expression and enzyme activity of selected cytochromes P450 (CYPs) in the liver of mice. In this respect, CYP3A enzymes may be very sensitive to gut microbiome-targeted interventions, as significant changes in CYP3A expression and activity in response to DSS-induced colitis and/or butyrate treatment have also been observed. With regard to medications used in IBD and microbiota-targeted therapeutic approaches, it is important to deepen our knowledge of the effect of gut inflammation, and therapeutic interventions were followed concerning the ability of the organism to metabolize drugs. This gut–liver axis, mediated through inflammation as well as microbiome-derived metabolites, may affect the response to IBD therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Intestinal fibrosis is a common complication of inflammatory bowel diseases. Medical treatment of intestinal fibrosis is an unmet therapeutic need. CD147 overexpression can induce myofibroblast differentiation associated with extracellular matrix deposition, favouring the development of fibrosis. To understand whether CD147 may promote intestinal fibrosis, we analysed its expression and blocked its function by using its specific inhibitor AC-73 [3-{2-[([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-ylmethyl) amino]-1-hydroxyethyl} phenol] in the murine TNBS [trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid]-chronic colitis model associated with intestinal fibrosis. METHODS TNBS chronic colitis was induced by weekly intrarectal administration of escalating doses of TNBS. Ethanol-treated and untreated mice were used as controls. Separated groups of TNBS, ethanol-treated or untreated mice received AC-73 or vehicle administered intraperitoneally from day 21 to day 49. At day 49, mice were killed, and colons collected for histological analysis, protein and RNA extraction. CD147, α-SMA and activated TGF-β1 protein levels, CD147/ERK/STAT3 signalling pathway and autophagy were assessed by Western blot, collagen and inflammatory/fibrogenic cytokines mRNA tissue content by quantitative PCR. RESULTS In mice with chronic TNBS colitis, CD147 protein level increased during fibrosis development in colonic tissue, as compared to control mice. CD147 inhibition by AC-73 treatment reduced intestinal fibrosis, collagen and cytokine mRNA tissue content, without significant modulation of activated TGF-β1 protein tissue content. AC-73 inhibited CD147/ERK1/2 and STAT3 signalling pathway activation and induced autophagy. CONCLUSIONS CD147 is a potential new target for controlling intestinal fibrosis and its inhibitor, AC-73, might represent a potential new anti-fibrotic therapeutic option in IBD.

Biomarkers of Metabolomics in Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Damp-Heat Syndrome: A Preliminary Study. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:3319646.

Abstract
Aims This study aims to investigate the potential biomarkers of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and IBD with damp-heat syndrome (IBD-DH) by metabolomics. Methods Plasma and urine samples were collected from 15 healthy controls and 30 IBD patients, including 15 IBD-DH and 15 IBD with spleen deficiency syndrome (IBD-SD), which was coded as SF8G and SF70 according to the International Classification of Diseases Eleventh Revision (ICD-11) issued by World Health Organization. Pseudotargeted metabolomics method was used based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry and triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry. Results Under the condition of false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05, variable importance projection (VIP) > 1.0, and fold change (FC) > 1.5 or < 2/3, we found 57 plasma differential metabolites and 20 urinary differential metabolites in IBD. Then, with area under the curve (AUC) ≥ 0.85 and FC ≥ 2 or ≤ 0.3, 11 potential biomarkers were identified, such as acylcarnitine (ACar 20:4, ACar 18:1, and ACar 20:3), 3-indoleacetic acid, hippuric acid, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, which is related to intestinal microbiota and immune response. However, less obvious differences were observed in IBD-DH when compared with IBD-SD. Under the condition of FDR < 0.2, VIP >1.0, and FC > 1.5 or < 2/3, we identified 16 plasma differential metabolites. In urine samples, IBD-DH and IBD-SD had the same metabolite pattern. With AUC ≥ 0.80, 7 differential plasma metabolites, mainly glycerophospholipids, were identified in IBD-DH. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis indicated that metabolic pathways, such as citrate cycle and amino acids metabolism, were mainly responsible for the distinction between IBD and healthy controls, whereas glycerophospholipid metabolism perturbation was not only a manifestation of IBD but also an important pathway to distinguish two subtypes defined by traditional medicine, IBD-DH and IBD-SD. Conclusion In this study, we found that several metabolites of aromatic acids and lipid derivatives could act as potential biomarkers to discriminate IBD from healthy controls. Glycerophospholipids metabolites might be used to differentiate IBD-DH from IBD-SD.

Abstract
Background Crohn's disease (CD) is characterized by excessive protease activity and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. To date, 30-50% of patients experience non-response to anti-TNF-α treatment. This study aimed to assess whether serological biomarkers of ECM turnover could monitor or predict response to infliximab (IFX) induction therapy in patients with and without a surgical history. Methods Serum biomarkers of type I (C1M), III (C3M), IV (C4M), and VI (C6Ma3) collagen degradation, type III (PRO-C3) and VI (PRO-C6) collagen formation, basement membrane turnover (PRO-C4), and T-cell activity (C4G), were measured at baseline and week 14, in 63 patients with CD undergoing IFX induction therapy. Patients were stratified according to surgical history. Results C4M was elevated at baseline in responders with a surgical history (n = 10) and associated with response at baseline (P < 0.05). Additionally, C6Ma3, PRO-C3, and PRO-C6 were elevated at week 14 in responders compared with non-responders (n = 8) and could differentiate between the two groups (P < 0.05). Two biomarker ratios (C4M/C4G and PRO-C4/C4G) were elevated at week 14 in non-responders (n = 5) without a surgical history compared with responders (n = 40) and could differentiate between the response groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion Baseline levels of a serological biomarker for type IV collagen degradation associated with response to IFX induction therapy, and biomarkers of type III and VI collagen formation may be used to monitor response at the end of induction therapy in patients with a surgical history. Biomarker ratios of type IV collagen turnover demonstrated promising results in monitoring treatment response in patients without a surgical history.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Nearly one-third of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) do not achieve remission despite our best therapies. When this happens, it is critical to understand the reason for treatment failure. Once nonresponse is confirmed, these patients should be referred to an IBD centre for multidisciplinary care. This review will discuss the remaining treatment options, including escalation of biologics to unlicensed doses, combination biologics, nonvalidated therapies and surgical options. It will additionally provide updates in the management of acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC). RECENT FINDINGS There is an increasing interest in combination biologics to treat refractory IBD, although data supporting its safety and effectiveness are limited. The use of hyperbaric oxygen, mesenchymal stem cell therapy and dietary interventions also show early promise in this area. Studies have additionally focused on personalized therapy to identify aggressive phenotypes and predict treatment response in these challenging patients. In ASUC, infliximab and cyclosporine remain mainstays of treatment, and tofacitinib shows promise as a salvage therapy. SUMMARY Refractory IBD is common, yet large knowledge gaps remain. Recent and ongoing studies have focused on medical, surgical and dietary approaches with mixed success. Larger prospective studies are desperately needed to address this complex issue.

[PMID: 35844584 PMCID: PMC9283574 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.931761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM cells) have been shown to play an instrumental role in providing local immune responses for pathogen clearance in barrier tissues. However, their contribution to inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) and the underlying regulation are less clear. Here, we identified a critical role of T-cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and ITIM (TIGIT) in regulating CD4+ TRM cells in an experimental model of intestinal inflammation. We found that CD4+ TRM cells were increased and correlated with disease activities in mice with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. Phenotypically, these CD4+ TRM cells could be classified into CD69+CD103− and CD69+CD103+ subsets. Functionally, these CD4+ TRM cells were heterogeneous. CD69+CD103− CD4+ TRM cells were pro-inflammatory and produced interferon-γ (IFNγ) and interleukin-17A (IL-17A), which accounted for 68.7% and 62.9% of total IFNγ+ and IL-17A+ CD4+ T cells, respectively, whereas CD69+CD103+ CD4+ TRM cells accounted for 73.7% Foxp3+ regulatory T cells. TIGIT expression was increased in CD4+ T cells in the gut of mice with DSS-induced colitis. TIGIT deficiency impaired IL-17A expression in CD69+CD103− CD4+ TRM cells specifically, resulting in ameliorated gut inflammation and tissue injury. Together, this study provides new insights into the regulation of gut inflammation that TIGIT deficiency protects mice from DSS-induced colitis, which might have a potential therapeutic value in the treatment of IBDs.

Abstract
Pulmonary manifestation (PM) of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children is a rare condition. The exact pathogenesis is still unclear, but several explanatory concepts were postulated and several case reports in children were published. We performed a systematic Medline search between April 1976 and April 2022. Different pathophysiological concepts were identified, including the shared embryological origin, "miss-homing" of intestinal based neutrophils and T lymphocytes, inflammatory triggering via certain molecules (tripeptide proline-glycine-proline, interleukin 25), genetic factors and alterations in the microbiome. Most pediatric IBD patients with PM are asymptomatic, but can show alterations in pulmonary function tests and breathing tests. In children, the pulmonary parenchyma is more affected than the airways, leading histologically mainly to organizing pneumonia. Medication-associated lung injury has to be considered in pulmonary symptomatic pediatric IBD patients treated with certain agents (i.e., mesalamine, sulfasalazine or infliximab). Furthermore, the risk of pulmonary embolism is generally increased in pediatric IBD patients. The initial treatment of PM is based on corticosteroids, either inhaled for the larger airways or systemic for smaller airways and parenchymal disease. In summary, this review article summarizes the current knowledge about PM in pediatric IBD patients, focusing on pathophysiological and clinical aspects.

Abstract
Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are chronic inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract that share similar genetic risk factors. However, while fibrotic stricture of the intestine is a major characteristic of CD; it is rarely observed in UC. Deposition of collagen in the extracellular matrix contributes to the formation of fibrotic strictures in CD, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. In the present study, we found that heat shock protein 47 (HSP47), a stress-response protein that acts as a molecular chaperone during the processing and secretion of collagen, expressed in the intestinal tissue from patients with CD. Serum HSP47 levels and anti-HSP47 antibody titers were significantly higher in patients with CD than in those with UC. Furthermore, anti-HSP47 antibody levels correlated significantly with fibrosis in CD. In addition, HSP47 inhibition significantly suppressed collagen production in fibroblasts in vitro. These findings suggest that HSP47 is a biomarker for differentiating fibrotic from non-fibrotic forms of CD. Additionally, we propose that HSP47 could be a potential target for treating fibrosis in patients with CD.

Epigenetic DNA methylation of Zbtb7b regulates the population of double-positive CD4 +CD8 + T cells in ulcerative colitis. J Transl Med 2022; 20:289. [PMID: 35761286 PMCID: PMC9235105 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-022-03477-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a heterogeneous disorder with complex pathogenesis. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to assess genome-wide DNA methylation changes associated explicitly with the pathogenesis of UC. METHODS DNA methylation changes were identified by comparing UC tissues with healthy controls (HCs) from the GEO databases. The candidate genes were obtained and verified in clinical samples. Moreover, the underlying molecular mechanism related to Zbtb7b in the pathogenesis of UC was explored using the dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis model. RESULTS Bioinformatic analysis from GEO databases confirmed that Zbtb7b, known as Th-inducing POZ-Kruppel factor (ThPOK), was demethylated in UC tissues. Then, we demonstrated that Zbtb7b was in a hypo-methylation pattern through the DSS-induced colitis model (P = 0.0357), whereas the expression of Zbtb7b at the mRNA and protein levels was significantly up-regulated in the inflamed colonic tissues of UC patients (qRT-PCR, WB, IHC: P < 0.0001, P = 0.0079, P < 0.0001) and DSS-induced colitis model (qRT-PCR, WB, IHC: P < 0.0001, P = 0.0045, P = 0.0004). Moreover, the expression of Zbtb7b was positively associated with the degree of UC activity. Mechanically, over-expression of Zbtb7b might activate the maturation of CD4+T cells (FCM, IF: P = 0.0240, P = 0.0003) and repress the differentiation of double-positive CD4+CD8+T (DP CD4+CD8+T) cells (FCM, IF: P = 0.0247, P = 0.0118), contributing to the production of inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α (P = 0.0005, P = 0.0005), IL-17 (P = 0.0014, P = 0.0381), and IFN-γ (P = 0.0016, P = 0.0042), in the serum and colonic tissue of DSS-induced colitis model. CONCLUSIONS Epigenetic DNA hypo-methylation of Zbtb7b activated the maturation of CD4+T cells and repressed the differentiation of DP CD4+CD8+ T cells, resulting in the production of inflammatory cytokines and colonic inflammation in UC. Therefore, Zbtb7b might be a diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker for UC, and hypo-methylation might affect the biological function of Zbtb7b.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease. The main pathological features are progressive degeneration of neurons and abnormal accumulation of α-synuclein. At present, the pathogenesis of PD is not completely clear, and many changes in the intestinal tract may be the early pathogenic factors of PD. These changes affect the central nervous system (CNS) through both nervous and humoral pathways. α-Synuclein deposited in the intestinal nerve migrates upward along the vagus nerve to the brain. Inflammation and immune regulation mediated by intestinal immune cells may be involved, affecting the CNS through local blood circulation. In addition, microorganisms and their metabolites may also affect the progression of PD. Therefore, paying attention to the multiple changes in the intestinal tract may provide new insight for the early diagnosis and treatment of PD.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to determine the frequency of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV) in mucosa and blood of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients in China and evaluate their correlation with the clinical disease activities. Methods Peripheral blood and endoscopic fresh colonic mucosal samples were collected from a cohort of 287 IBD patients and 50 controls. Viral DNA load was analyzed through quantitative real-time PCR. The clinical disease activity of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) was assessed by the Mayo Clinic Score and Crohn’s disease activity index, respectively. Results Among 287 IBD patients, 228 (79.4%) were positive for EBV and 99 (34.5%) were positive for CMV. EBV and CMV infection rates are significantly higher than those in the control group (28.0%, p < 0.05; 4.0%, p < 0.05). In addition, EBV/CMV prevalence increases as clinical activities progress [For EBV infection, the prevalence was 53.93% (48/89) in the mild group, 87.00% (87/100) in the moderate group, and 94.90% (93/98) in the severe group; and for CMV infection, the prevalence was 3.37% (3/89) in the mild group, 27.00% (27/100) in the moderate group, and 70.41% (69/98) in the severe group]. EBV and CMV loads are related to clinical disease activities (p < 0.05). In addition, viral load in the intestinal mucosa of patients with acute exacerbation of IBD is higher than that of patients in remission. Conclusion High prevalence of EBV and CMV is found in patients with IBD, and their prevalence is related to clinical disease activities. In addition, the viral load in the intestinal mucosa is associated with the status of mucosa in the same patients (active phase versus remission phase). Detection of viral load on mucosal specimens with quantitative real-time PCR is a feasible method to monitor EBV and CMV infection in IBD patients.

Abstract
The incidence rate of ulcerative colitis (UC) has increased significantly over the past decades and it places an increasing burden on health and social systems. The current studies on UC implicate a strong correlation between host gut microbiota immunity and the pathogenesis of UC. Meanwhile, more and more functional oligosaccharides have been reported as prebiotics to alleviate UC, since many of them can be metabolized by gut microbiota to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). The present review is focused on the structure, sources and specific applications of various functional oligosaccharides related to the prevention and treatment of UC. The available evidence for the usage of functional oligosaccharides in UC treatment are summarized, including fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), chito-oligosaccharides (COS), alginate-oligosaccharides (AOS), xylooligosaccharides (XOS), stachyose and inulin.

Abstract
Currently approved therapeutical strategies for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) suffer from variable efficacy and association with risk of serious side effects. Therefore, efforts have been made in searching for alternative therapeutics strategies utilizing gut microbiota manipulation. In this study, we show that the probiotic strain Ligilactobacillus salivarius Li01 (Li01) and the phytochemical prebiotic resveratrol (RSV) have synergistic effect in ameliorating colitis in mice. Oral coadministration of Li01 (109 CFU/d) and RSV (1.5 g/kg/d) promoted restoration of various inflammatory injuries and gut microbiota composition, exhibiting a favorable anti-inflammatory effect in DSS-induced colitis mice. The combination treatment was associated with reductions in the levels of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6 and increases in the levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-17A in mouse serum. Moreover, the combination treatment was found to alter the composition and metabolism of the gut microbiota, especially influencing the production of short chain fatty acids and anti-inflammatory related molecules. The mechanism underlying the improved anti-inflammatory effect from the RSV and Li01 combination treatment was found to be associated with the environmental sensor mammalian aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and tryptophan metabolism pathway. Administration of RSV in combination with Li01 in different mouse model led to enhanced conversion of RSV into metabolites, including dihydroresveratrol (DHR), resveratrol-sulfate, and resveratrol-glucuronide. DHR was found to be the dominant metabolite of RSV in conventional and colitis mice. An increased DHR/RSV ratio was confirmed to activate AHR and contribute to an enhanced anti-inflammatory effect. DHR is considered as a potential AHR ligand. The DHR/RSV ratio also affected the serotonin pathway by controlling the expression of Tph1, SERT, and 5-HT7R leading to amelioration of colitis in mice. Our data suggest that treatment with a combination of Li01 and RSV has potential as a therapeutic strategy for IBD; further investigation of this combination in clinical settings is warranted.

Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Show IgG Immune Responses Towards Specific Intestinal Bacterial Genera. Front Immunol 2022; 13:842911. [PMID: 35693832 PMCID: PMC9174456 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.842911] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2021] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by a disturbed gut microbiota composition. Patients with IBD have both elevated mucosal and serum levels of IgG-antibodies directed against bacterial antigens, including flagellins. In this study, we aimed to determine to which intestinal bacteria the humoral immune response is directed to in patients with IBD. Methods Fecal and serum samples were collected from patients with IBD (n=55) and age- and sex-matched healthy controls (n=55). Fecal samples were incubated with autologous serum and IgG-coated fractions were isolated by magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) and its efficiency was assessed by flow cytometry. The bacterial composition of both untreated and IgG-coated fecal samples was determined by 16S rRNA-gene Illumina sequencing. Results IgG-coated fecal samples were characterized by significantly lower microbial diversity compared to the fecal microbiome. Both in patients with IBD and controls, serum IgG responses were primarily directed to Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Enterococcus, Veillonella and Enterobacteriaceae, as well as against specific Lachnospiraceae bacteria, including Coprococcus and Dorea (all P<0.001), and to Ruminococcus gnavus-like bacteria (P<0.05). In contrast, serological IgG responses against typical commensal, anaerobic and colonic microbial species were rather low, e.g. to the Lachnospiraceae members Roseburia and Blautia, to Faecalibacterium, as well as to Bacteroides. Patients with IBD showed more IgG-coating of Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, and Lactococcus bacteria compared to healthy controls (all P<0.05). No differences in IgG-coated bacterial fractions were observed between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, between active or non-active disease, nor between different disease locations. Conclusion The IgG immune response is specifically targeted at distinct intestinal bacterial genera that are typically associated with the small intestinal microbiota, whereas responses against more colonic-type commensals are lower, which was particularly the case for patients with IBD. These findings may be indicative of a strong immunological exposure to potentially pathogenic intestinal bacteria in concordance with relative immune tolerance against commensal bacteria.

Abstract
The anthraquinones (AQs) and derivatives are widely distributed in nature, including plants, fungi, and insects, with effects of anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation, antibacterial and antiviral, anti-osteoporosis, anti-tumor, etc. Inflammation, including acute and chronic, is a comprehensive response to foreign pathogens under a variety of physiological and pathological processes. AQs could attenuate symptoms and tissue damages through anti-inflammatory or immuno-modulatory effects. The review aims to provide a scientific summary of AQs on immune responses under different pathological conditions, such as digestive diseases, respiratory diseases, central nervous system diseases, etc. It is hoped that the present paper will provide ideas for future studies of the immuno-regulatory effect of AQs and the therapeutic potential for drug development and clinical use of AQs and derivatives.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves an abnormal immune response to healthy gut bacteria. When a person develops IBD, their susceptibility to anxiety and/or depression increases. The ACTforIBD programme, specifically designed for people with IBD and comorbid psychological distress, draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which promotes acceptance of situations that cannot be solved such as persistent physical symptoms. There are no ACT trials for IBD using an active control group or a telemedicine approach, which is important to improve accessibility, particularly in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The ACTforIBD programme is administered online with a 4-hour therapist involvement per participant only; if successful it can be widely implemented to improve the well-being of many individuals with IBD. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Our team have codesigned with consumers the ACTforIBD programme, an 8-week intervention of 1-hour sessions, with the first three sessions and the last session delivered one-to-one by a psychologist, and the other sessions self-directed online. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of ACTforIBD to reduce psychological distress in patients with IBD. Using a randomised controlled trial, 25 participants will be randomised to ACTforIBD, and 25 patients to an active control condition. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This protocol has been approved by Deakin University Research Ethics Committee in September 2021 (Ref. 2021-263) and the New Zealand Central Health and Disability Ethics Committee in December 2021 (Ref. 2021 EXP 11384). The results of this research will be published in peer-reviewed journals and shared with various stakeholders, including community members, policy-makers and researchers, through local and international conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ACTRN12621001316897.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is a pro-inflammatory cell death executed by gasdermin family proteins that involve the formation of pores on cells, recognition of danger signals, and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. Pyroptosis modulates mucosal innate immunity and enteropathogenic bacterial infection. Similarly, the gasdermin family has been reported to be involved in the defense of the intestinal epithelium against bacterial infection and in the regulation of intestinal inflammation. Pyroptosis initiates damage signals that activate multiple pathways to cause inflammation, which may be a potential cause of chronic intestinal inflammation. In this review, we discuss the impact of pyroptosis on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with a focus on the executive proteins of pyroptosis (GSDMB, GADMD, and GSDME) and IBD-related endogenous damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) produced by pyroptosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND T helper 17 and regulatory T cells balance have crucial effects on the development of ulcerative colitis (UC). Currently, how to break this balance has not yet been found. Protein kinase CK2 is involved in the pathogenesis of immune-related disorders. However, its effects on the development of UC are obscure. METHODS The level of CK2 in the colonic tissues of UC patients was quantified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immune-histochemistry. Peripheral blood CD4+ T cells were treated with CK2 inhibitor CX4945 or transfected with Csnk2-interfering lentivirus; the mRNA expression and protein levels of inflammatory cytokines were detected by qRT-PCR, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and flow cytometry. Moreover, CX4945 was administered to trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis mice model for determining the function of CK2 on the regulation of intestinal inflammation. RESULTS The CK2 level was markedly increased in inflamed mucosa of UC and highly expressed in CD4+ T cells. Blockade of CK2 by CX4945 inhibited Th17 but promoted regulatory T-cell (Treg) immune responses in CD4+ T cells from patients with UC. Moreover, CK2 blockade alleviated TNBS-induced colitis in mice. Inhibition of CK2 suppressed Th17 but promoted Treg differentiation by decreasing the phosphorylation level of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 3 and increasing the phosphorylation level of STAT5. The RNA-Seq and co-immunoprecipitation analysis further showed that CK2 could interact with Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and downregulate SIRT1 expression, which participated in Th17 inhibition but promoted Treg differentiation. Sirtuin 1 upregulation ameliorated TNBS-induced colitis, whereas SIRT1 blockade aggravated TNBS-induced colitis in mice. CONCLUSIONS CK2 have crucial effects on the development of UC by maintaining reciprocal balance between Th17 and Treg cells. Protein kinase CK2 blockade might be considered as a new therapeutic approach for UC treatment.

Abstract
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect any portion of the gastrointestinal tract. Associated symptoms can vary based on the severity of disease, extent of involvement, presence of extraintestinal manifestations, and development of complications. Diagnosis is based on a constellation of findings. Many diseases can mimic Crohn's disease and lead to diagnostic conundrums. These include entities associated with the gastrointestinal luminal tract, vascular disease, autoimmune processes, various infections, malignancies and complications, drug- or treatment-induced conditions, and genetic diseases. Careful consideration of possible causes is necessary to establish the correct diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α antibody (ATA) and biologics/molecular targeted agents with other mechanisms (non-ATA) are currently available for refractory ulcerative colitis (UC). However, the knowledge about optimal drug selection after the initial treatment with ATA failure is lacking. This study assessed whether the response to the initial ATA could be a basis for selecting subsequent agents in UC patients. METHODS Ulcerative colitis patients treated with ATA or non-ATA as the subsequent biologic after the failure of initial ATA were retrospectively analyzed. The efficacy at 14 weeks was examined according to the response to initial ATA. RESULTS Of 163 patients treated with the first ATA, the efficacy of subsequent ATA and non-ATA was evaluated in 63 and 36, respectively. Remission and response to subsequent-line therapy, regardless of ATA or non-ATA, were lower in patients with primary nonresponse (PNR) to initial ATA than in patients with efficacy to initial ATA (33.3% vs 69.2%, P < 0.01). In patients with PNR to initial ATA, the remission rate with subsequent ATA was significantly lower than with subsequent non-ATA (4.3% vs 26.3%, P = 0.04). In patients who showed efficacy to initial ATA, the remission rate with subsequent ATA was also lower than that with subsequent non-ATA (30.6% vs 56.3%, P = 0.08). PNR with initial ATA was the predictor of PNR to subsequent ATA (odds ratio: 5.62, 95% confidence interval: 1.50-21.7). CONCLUSION Non-ATA may be suitable in UC patients as the subsequent biologics regardless of the outcome of the first ATA.

Abstract
Immune cell trafficking is a critical element of the intestinal immune response, both in homeostasis and in pathological conditions associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This process involves adhesion molecules, chemoattractants and receptors expressed on immune cell surfaces, blood vessels and stromal intestinal tissue as well as signalling pathways, including those modulated by sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). The complex biological processes of leukocyte recruitment, activation, adhesion and migration have been targeted by various monoclonal antibodies (vedolizumab, etrolizumab, ontamalimab). Promising preclinical and clinical data with several oral S1P modulators suggest that inhibition of lymphocyte egress from the lymph nodes to the bloodstream might be a safe and efficacious alternative mechanism for reducing inflammation in immune-mediated disorders, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Although various questions remain, including the potential positioning of S1P modulators in treatment algorithms and their long-term safety, this novel class of compounds holds great promise. This Review summarizes the critical mediators and mechanisms involved in immune cell trafficking in IBD and the available evidence for efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of S1P receptor modulators in IBD and other immune-mediated disorders. Further, it discusses potential future approaches to incorporate S1P modulators into the treatment of IBD.

Abstract
Abstract
Amino acid intake plays a crucial role in the Warburg effect of cancer. The gut microbes could regulate intestinal amino acid metabolism. However, it is still unknown whether a probiotic therapy can protect the host from intestinal tumor invasion by reducing amino acid intake. With in vitro methods, three acid tolerant strains from fermented pickles were screened out. Using AOM/DSS induced colon cancer models, we evaluated the therapeutic effects of Lactobacillus brevis CLB3, Lactobacillus plantarum XLP and Lactobacillus johnsonii CM on model mice. Their functional mechanism were further explained through anatomy section, qRT-PCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemical staining analyses as well as database mining and gut culturomics. The L. brevis CLB3 treatment significantly improved clinical signs and symptoms of colon cancer, alleviated colon damage, and inhibited colon carcinogenesis in mice. In addition, this treatment significantly increased gut cultivable Lactobacillus abundance, inhibited the expression and translation levels of the tumor metabolism-related solute carrier (SLC) amino acid transporter including SLC7A5 and SLC7A11, lowered circulating IL-6 and IL-17A levels, and improved the accumulation of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and cancer proliferation factors. These findings suggest that L. brevis CLB3 can reduce amino acid transport, inhibit mTOR signaling and enhance intestinal anti-tumor immune responses, which provides a potential targeting amino acid transporters strategy for preventing colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been seen as a novel treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The results on microbial alterations and their relationship to treatment efficacy are varied among studies. We performed a systematic review to explore the association between microbial features and therapy outcomes. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases from inception to November 2020. Studies that investigated the efficacy of FMT and baseline microbial features or dynamic alteration of the microbiome during FMT were included. The methodological quality of the included cohort studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) and the Cochrane risk of bias tool, respectively. A total of 30 studies were included in the analysis. Compared to non-responders, the microbial structure of patients who responded to FMT had a higher similarity to that of their donors after FMT. Donors of responders (R-d) and non-responders (NR-d) had different microbial taxa, but the results were inconsistent. After FMT, several beneficial short-chain fatty acids- (SCFA-) producing taxa, such as Faecalibacterium, Eubacterium, Roseburia, and species belonging to them, were enriched in responders, while pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli and Escherichia-Shigella) belonging to the phylum Proteobacteria were decreased. Alterations of microbial functional genes and metabolites were also observed. In conclusion, the response to FMT was associated with the gut microbiota and their metabolites. The pre-FMT microbial features of recipients, the comparison of pre- and post-FMT microbiota, and the relationship between recipients and donors at baseline should be further investigated using uniform and standardized methods.
