Micronutrient Status and Prediction of Disease Outcome in Adults With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Receiving Biologic Therapy. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2024; 30:1233-1240. [PMID: 37611079 PMCID: PMC11291620 DOI: 10.1093/ibd/izad174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Micronutrient deficiencies are common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but whether they relate to disease outcomes remains unknown. This study assessed the micronutrient status of adults with IBD on treatment with biologic therapies and explored predictive relationships with disease outcomes. METHODS Seventeen micronutrients were measured in the blood of 216 adults with IBD on biologic therapy. Of these, 127 patients (58%) had Crohn's disease (CD), and the majority (70%) received treatment with infliximab. Patients were followed for 12 months and onset of adverse clinical outcomes (eg, requirement for treatment with corticosteroids, hospitalization, or surgical intervention) was recorded, and related to micronutrient status. RESULTS Among all patients, the most common deficiencies were for vitamin C (n = 35 of 212 [16.5%]), ferritin (n = 27 of 189 [14.3%]), folate (n = 24 of 171 [14.0%]), and zinc (n = 27 of 210 [12.9%]). During follow-up, 22 (10%) of the 216 patients developed 1 or more adverse clinical outcomes. Patients with CD and zinc deficiency were significantly more likely to require surgery (P = .002) or treatment with corticosteroids (P < .001). In contrast, patients with ulcerative colitis and selenium deficiency were significantly more likely to have a clinical flare of disease (P = .001), whereas those with CD were not. This relationship with selenium remained significant after adjustment for confounders. CONCLUSIONS A substantial proportion of adults with IBD present deficiencies for certain micronutrients, with selenium and zinc deficiency predicting adverse disease outcomes. For other micronutrients, deficiencies were less common and should not warrant routine screening. Intervention studies should explore the effect of micronutrient supplementation in modifying disease outcomes in IBD.

Abstract
The problem of treating inflammatory bowel disease continues to be a topic of great interest for researchers. Despite the complexity surrounding their treatment and strategies to prolong periods of remission, there is a promising exploration of various compounds that have potential in combating inflammation and alleviating symptoms. Selenium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron are among these compounds, offering a glimpse of hope in the treatment of IBD. These essential minerals not only hold the promise of reducing inflammation in these diseases, but also show the potential to enhance immune function and possibly influence the balance of intestinal microflora. By potentially modulating the gut microbiota, they may help support overall immune health. Furthermore, these compounds could play a crucial role in mitigating inflammation and minimising complications in patients with IBD. Furthermore, the protective effect of these compounds against mucosal damage in IBD and the protective effect of calcium itself against osteoporosis in this group of patients are notable.

Abstract
Background Despite numerous metabolomic studies on ulcerative colitis (UC), the results have been highly variable, making it challenging to identify key metabolic abnormalities in UC. Objectives This study aims to uncover key metabolites and metabolic pathways in UC by analyzing existing metabolomics data. Design A systematic review. Data sources and methods We conducted a comprehensive search in databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science) and relevant study references for metabolomic research on UC up to 28 December 2022. Significant metabolite differences between UC patients and controls were identified, followed by an analysis of relevant metabolic pathways. Results This review incorporated 78 studies, identifying 2868 differentially expressed metabolites between UC patients and controls. The metabolites were predominantly from 'lipids and lipid-like molecules' and 'organic acids and derivatives' superclasses. We found 101 metabolites consistently altered in multiple datasets within the same sample type and 78 metabolites common across different sample types. Of these, 62 metabolites exhibited consistent regulatory trends across various datasets or sample types. Pathway analysis revealed 22 significantly altered metabolic pathways, with 6 pathways being recurrently enriched across different sample types. Conclusion This study elucidates key metabolic characteristics in UC, offering insights into molecular mechanisms and biomarker discovery for the disease. Future research could focus on validating these findings and exploring their clinical applications.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an autoimmune intestinal disease that includes ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and indeterminate colitis. Patients with IBD are often at risk for malnutrition, including micronutrient deficiencies, due to dietary restrictions and poor intestinal absorption. Micronutrients, including vitamins and minerals, play an important role in the human body's metabolism and maintenance of tissue functions. This article reviews the role of micronutrients in IBD. Micronutrients can affect the occurrence and progression of IBD by regulating immunity, intestinal flora, oxidative stress, intestinal barrier function, and other aspects. Monitoring and timely supplementation of micronutrients are important to delay progression and improve clinical symptoms in IBD patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) develops through complex interplay of genetic, microbial, immune, and environmental factors. Trace elements alterations are commonly present in IBD and may have influence on IBD development. Heavy metal pollution is one of the major environmental issues nowadays and IBD incidence is rising in countries where industry starts to develop. Metals are implicated in processes that are connected to IBD pathogenesis. AIM The aim of this study was to investigate toxic and trace element levels in pediatric population of IBD patients both in serum and intestinal mucosa. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study enrolled children newly diagnosed with IBD in University children's hospital in Belgrade. Concentrations of thirteen elements: Al, As, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Se and Zn in serum and intestinal mucosa of 17 newly diagnosed children with IBD (10 Crohn's disease (CD) and 7ulcerative colitis (UC)) and 10 controls were assessed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Intestinal mucosa samples were taken from terminal ileum and six different colon segments (cecum, ascending colon, colon transversum, descending and sigmoid colon and rectum). RESULTS The results demonstrated significant alterations in serum and intestinal mucosa concentrations of investigated elements. Serum iron was significantly decreased in IBD and CD group, compared to controls while serum Cu significantly differed between three investigated groups with highest concentration observed in CD children. Serum manganese was the highest in the UC subgroup. Terminal ileums of IBD patients contained significantly lower amount of Cu, Mg, Mn and Zn with Mn being significantly decreased also in CD patients compared to control. IBD patients' caecum contained significantly less Mg and Cu while colon transversum tissue samples from IBD and Crohn's patients contained significantly more chromium than controls. Moreover, sigmoid colon of IBD patients were poorer in Mg than controls (p < 0.05). Colon Al, As and Cd were significantly reduced in IBD, and UC children compared to control. Correlations of investigated elements in CD and UC groups were different from controls. Biochemical and clinical parameters showed correlation with element concentrations in intestines. CONCLUSION Sera of CD, UC and control children significantly differ in Fe, Cu and Mn levels. Serum manganese was the highest in the UC subgroup creating the most prominent and only significant difference between UC and CD subgroups. Terminal ileum of IBD patients contained significantly lower amount of majority of investigated essential trace elements and toxic elements were significantly reduced in colon of IBD and UC patients. Investigation of macro- and microelement alterations in children and adults has potential to further elucidate IBD pathogenesis.

Abstract
Environmental factors, such as drinking water and diets, play an important role in the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aimed to investigate the associations of metal elements and disinfectants in drinking water with the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and to assess whether diet influences these associations. We conducted a prospective cohort study including 22,824 participants free from IBD from the Yinzhou cohort study in the 2016-2022 period with an average follow-up of 5.24 years. The metal and disinfectant concentrations were measured in local pipeline terminal tap water samples. Cox regression models adjusted for multi-level covariates were used to estimate adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). During an average follow-up period of 5.24 years, 46 cases of IBD were identified. For every 1 standard deviation (SD) increase in the concentration of manganese, mercury, selenium, sulfur tetraoxide (SO4), chlorine, and nitrate nitrogen (NO3_N) were associated with a higher risk of IBD with the HRs of 1.45 (95% CI: 1.14 to 1.84), 1.51 (95% CI: 1.24-1.82), 1.29 (95% CI: 1.03-1.61), 1.52 (95% CI: 1.26-1.83), 1.26 (95% CI: 1.18-1.34), and 1.66 (95% CI: 1.32-2.09), whereas zinc and fluorine were inversely associated with IBD with the HRs of 0.42 (95% CI: 0.24 to 0.73) and 0.68 (95% CI: 0.54-0.84), respectively. Stronger associations were observed in females, higher income groups, low education groups, former drinkers, and participants who never drink tea. Diets have a moderating effect on the associations of metal and nonmetal elements with the risk of IBD. We found significant associations between exposure to metals and disinfectants and IBD. Diets regulated the associations to some extent.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is becoming increasingly prevalent with the improvement of people's living standards in recent years, especially in urban areas. The emerging environmental contaminant is a newly-proposed concept in the progress of industrialization and modernization, referring to synthetic chemicals that were not noticed or researched before, which may lead to many chronic diseases, including IBD. The emerging contaminants mainly include microplastics, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, chemical herbicides, heavy metals, and persisting organic pollutants. In this review, we summarize the adverse health effect of these emerging contaminants on humans and their relationships with IBD. Therefore, we can better understand the impact of these new emerging contaminants on IBD, minimize their exposures, and lower the future incidence of IBD.

Abstract
The status of essential and toxic trace metals in the blood of Crohn's disease (CD) patients is unexplained. This study aimed to provide the first elemental profiling of the most recognized essential elements (Mn, Cu, Zn, Se) and selected toxic trace elements (As, Cd, Pb, and U) in sera and cell lysate (CL) samples of CD patients (n = 84). The results were compared with sex- and age-matched samples from the control group (CG). CD sera contained significantly higher levels of Mn, As, Cd, Pb, and U than did CG sera. An identical pattern, with the added inclusion of Cu (also higher in CD patients than in the CG), was obtained for CL samples. However, the most important finding was hypermanganesemia, which indicates that Mn could act as a toxic trace metal in CD. As, Cd, and U were the most significant toxic elements that showed antagonistic effects on the extrusion of essential Mn and Cu. Circulatory system screening markers for CD are hereby proposed (Mn/Cu, Mn/As, and Mn/Pb ratios). These three metal ratios were strongly and significantly correlated with F-Calprotectin levels, and deserve consideration as new markers of CD. The target metals and metal ratios should be taken into consideration as novel initiating and/or modifying factors for CD.

Gene-environment interaction analysis of redox-related metals and genetic variants with plasma metabolic patterns in a general population from Spain: The Hortega Study. Redox Biol 2022; 52:102314.

Abstract
Background Limited studies have evaluated the joint influence of redox-related metals and genetic variation on metabolic pathways. We analyzed the association of 11 metals with metabolic patterns, and the interacting role of candidate genetic variants, in 1145 participants from the Hortega Study, a population-based sample from Spain. Methods Urine antimony (Sb), arsenic, barium (Ba), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), molybdenum (Mo) and vanadium (V), and plasma copper (Cu), selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) were measured by ICP-MS and AAS, respectively. We summarized 54 plasma metabolites, measured with targeted NMR, by estimating metabolic principal components (mPC). Redox-related SNPs (N = 291) were measured by oligo-ligation assay. Results In our study, the association with metabolic principal component (mPC) 1 (reflecting non-essential and essential amino acids, including branched chain, and bacterial co-metabolism versus fatty acids and VLDL subclasses) was positive for Se and Zn, but inverse for Cu, arsenobetaine-corrected arsenic (As) and Sb. The association with mPC2 (reflecting essential amino acids, including aromatic, and bacterial co-metabolism) was inverse for Se, Zn and Cd. The association with mPC3 (reflecting LDL subclasses) was positive for Cu, Se and Zn, but inverse for Co. The association for mPC4 (reflecting HDL subclasses) was positive for Sb, but inverse for plasma Zn. These associations were mainly driven by Cu and Sb for mPC1; Se, Zn and Cd for mPC2; Co, Se and Zn for mPC3; and Zn for mPC4. The most SNP-metal interacting genes were NOX1, GSR, GCLC, AGT and REN. Co and Zn showed the highest number of interactions with genetic variants associated to enriched endocrine, cardiovascular and neurological pathways. Conclusions Exposures to Co, Cu, Se, Zn, As, Cd and Sb were associated with several metabolic patterns involved in chronic disease. Carriers of redox-related variants may have differential susceptibility to metabolic alterations associated to excessive exposure to metals. In a population-based sample, cobalt, copper, selenium, zinc, arsenic, cadmium and antimony exposures were related to some metabolic patterns. Carriers of redox-related variants displayed differential susceptibility to metabolic alterations associated to excessive metal exposures. Cobalt and zinc showed a number of statistical interactions with variants from genes sharing biological pathways with a role in chronic diseases. The metabolic impact of metals combined with variation in redox-related genes might be large in the population, given metals widespread exposure.

Abstract
Composite microecological agents have received widespread attention due to their advantageous properties, including safety, multiple effects, and low cost. This study was conducted to evaluate the protective effects of selenium (Se) nanoparticle (SeNP)-enriched Lactococcus lactis NZ9000 (L. lactis NZ9000-SeNPs) against enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88-induced intestinal barrier damage in C57BL/6 mice. The oral administration of L. lactis NZ9000-SeNPs significantly increased the villus height and the number of goblet cells in the ileum; reduced the levels of serum and ileal interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and interferon gamma (IFN-γ); and increased the activities of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) compared with the ETEC K88-infected group not treated with L. lactis NZ9000-SeNPs. In addition, L. lactis NZ9000-SeNPs significantly attenuated the reduction of the expression levels of occludin and claudin-1, dysbiosis of the gut microbiome, and activation of the Toll-like receptor (TLR)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB)-mediated signaling pathway induced by ETEC K88. These findings suggested that L. lactis NZ9000-SeNPs may be a promising and safe Se supplement for food or feed additives. IMPORTANCE The beneficial effects of microecological agents have been widely proven. Se, which is a nutritionally essential trace element for humans and animals, is incorporated into selenoproteins that have a wide range of pleiotropic effects, ranging from antioxidant to anti-inflammatory effects. However, sodium selenite, a common addition form of Se in feed and food, has disadvantages such as strong toxicity and low bioavailability. We investigated the protective effects of L. lactis NZ9000-SeNPs against ETEC K88-induced intestinal barrier injury in C57BL/6 mice. Our results show that L. lactis NZ9000-SeNPs effectively alleviate ETEC K88-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction. This study highlights the importance of developing a promising and safe Se supplement for the substitution of sodium selenite applied in food, feed, and biomedicine.

Associations Between Iron Intake and Serum Iron with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Chronic Diarrheal Symptoms in Adults: the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2007-2010. Biol Trace Elem Res 2021; 199:4084-4091.

Abstract
Iron may be involved in the etiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and chronic diarrhea by modulating gut microbiota and immune responses, but data from epidemiological studies in adults examining this relationship are limited. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the association between iron intake and serum iron levels with IBD and chronic diarrhea in adults. Data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES) between 2007 and 2010 for adults ≥ 20 years were obtained. Chronic diarrheal symptoms were determined by using the 2007-2010 NHANES questionnaire which included questions pertaining to bowel health. The presence of IBD was analyzed from the NHANES data, directly querying the presence or absence of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). A total of 9605 participants were initially included in this study. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used and stratified by gender. Compared with quartile 1 (the lowest quartile), the multivariate-adjusted ORs (95% CI) for risk of having chronic diarrheal symptoms were 1.01 (0.86-1.18), 1.29 (1.07-1.56) and 1.25 (1.02-1.54) across quartiles 2 to 4 of iron intake. This significant association remained among men, but not among women in subgroup analyses. No significant association between either iron intake or serum iron level and the risk of IBD was observed. Generally, there was a positive association between iron intake and chronic diarrheal symptoms in adults that was modified by sex.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition that may emerge at a young age and often lasts for life. It often goes through phases of recurrence and remission and has a devastating effect on quality of life. The exact etiology of the disease is still unclear, but it appears that an inappropriate immune response to intestinal flora bacteria in people with a genetic predisposition may cause the disease. Managing inflammatory bowel disease is still a serious challenge. Oxidative stress and free radicals appear to be involved in the pathogenesis of this disease, and a number of studies have suggested the use of antioxidants as a therapeutic approach. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of some trace elements have led some of the research to focus on studying these trace elements in inflammatory bowel disease. Zinc and selenium are among the most important trace elements that have significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Some studies have shown the importance of these trace elements in inflammatory bowel disease. In this review, we have attempted to provide a comprehensive overview of the findings of these studies and to gather current knowledge about the association of these trace elements with the inflammatory process and inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
The associations between copper and zinc intake with the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and fecal incontinence symptoms in the general population are not well understood. This study aims to evaluate the associations of zinc and copper intake with the risk of IBD and fecal incontinence symptoms in adults aged ≥ 20 years using data from the 2009-2010 National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES) (N = 5593). The presence of IBD was analyzed from the NHANES data, directly querying the presence or absence of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Fecal incontinence symptoms including accidental bowel leakage of gas, mucus, liquid, or solid stool were determined by using the bowel health questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regressions models were performed controlling for confounding factors (dietary, lifestyle, psychological, and health conditions). No associations between either zinc or copper intake with IBD were found. However, zinc intake was independently associated with increased risk of bowel leakage of gas or liquid. Compared with quartile 1, the multivariate-adjusted ORs (95%CI) of bowel leakage of gas across quartiles 2-4 of zinc intake were 1.41 (1.15-1.71), 1.30 (1.00-1.68), and 1.61 (1.16-2.23). Likewise, there was a trend for higher odds of bowel leakage of liquid among participants in the higher zinc intake. Compared with quartile 1, the multivariate-adjusted ORs (95%CI) of bowel leakage of liquid across quartiles 2-4 of zinc intake were 3.55 (0.94-13.41), 3.65 (1.27-10.47), and 5.06 (1.25-20.50). Future prospective studies are warranted to confirm these findings.

Ala M, Kheyri Z. The rationale for selenium supplementation in inflammatory bowel disease: A mechanism-based point of view. Nutrition 2021; 85:111153.

Abstract
Management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has always been a challenge for physicians. Current treatment protocols may cause numerous adverse effects. Selenium is known for its putative antiinflammatory properties. Selenium is needed for the biosynthesis of enzymatically active selenoproteins, which contribute to antioxidative defense, and effective function of immune systems. Several studies have shown that patients with IBD have a lower selenium level compared to healthy subjects. Hence, experimental studies mimicking ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease investigated the effect of selenium supplementation on IBD. Previous studies indicated the following: 1) Selenoproteins can curb the inflammatory response and attenuate oxidative stress. This antiinflammatory property caused remission in animal models of colitis. 2) Selenium supports protective gut microbiota, which indirectly improves management of IBD. 3) Selenium may block some of the predominant tumorigenesis pathways proposed in colitis-associated colorectal cancer. 4) Selenium supplementation showed promising results in preliminary clinical studies, particularly in patients with selenium deficiency. While selenium supplementation seems to be beneficial for IBD, clinical studies have remained too preliminary in this regard. Randomized clinical trials are needed to measure the short-term and long-term effects of selenium on both active and quiescent IBD, particularly in patients with IBD who have documented selenium deficiency.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient that has implications in human diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), especially with respect to Se deficiencies. Recently, selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have attracted significant attention due to their diversity of biological activities and unique advantages including low toxicity and high biological availability. In this study, an eco-friendly, efficient and low-cost method for synthesis of SeNPs by Kluyveromyces lactis GG799 (K. lactis GG799) was established, and the SeNPs were investigated for their physicochemical properties and anti-inflammatory activities in vivo. K. lactis GG799 was able to successfully transform sodium selenite into bright-red SeNPs with particle sizes of 80 and 150 nm and the nanoparticles accumulated intracellularly. Upon isolation, the SeNPs were found to be mainly capped by proteins and polysaccharides by components analysis. Dietary supplementation with 0.6 mg kg-1 Se (in the form of biogenic SeNPs) effectively attenuated dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) in mice by alleviating oxidative stress and intestinal inflammation. These findings suggested that SeNPs synthesized by K. lactis GG799 may be a promising and safe Se supplement for the prevention and treatment of IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have investigated the association between selenium levels and skin diseases, but reached inconsistent results. OBJECTIVE This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the association between selenium levels and skin diseases. METHODS A systematic search was conducted in public databases to identify all relevant studies, and study-specific standard mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were pooled to compare the selenium levels between different groups. RESULTS Twenty-seven studies were identified with a total of 1315 patient and 7181 healthy controls. Compared with controls, no significant difference in selenium was found in patients with vitiligo (SMD = 0.53, 95% CI: -0.40 to 1.45), alopecia areata (SMD = 0.47, 95% CI: -2.72 and 3.65), or eczema (SMD = 0.12, 95% CI: -0.24 to 0.48). A lower selenium level was found in patients with psoriasis (SMD = -0.62, 95% CI: -1.15 to -0.10), acne vulgaris (SMD = -1.02, 95% CI: -1.45 to -0.60), chloric acne (SMD = -2.35, 95% CI: -3.15 to -1.55), and atopic dermatitis (SMD = -2.62, 95% CI: -3.00 to -2.24). As for disease severity, severe patients had a higher selenium level than mild patients in psoriasis (SMD = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.07-1.38), but no difference was found in vitiligo (SMD = -0.26, 95% CI: -2.38 to 1.85) and alopecia areata (SMD = 0.46, 95% CI: -0.34 to 1.26). CONCLUSION Selenium levels were associated with several skin diseases and the disease severity, and high selenium levels tended to be a protective factor in certain skin diseases.
