Abstract
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a hallmark of leukocyte infiltration, followed by the release of cytokines and interleukins. Disease progression to Ulcerative Colitis (UC) or Crohn’s Disease (CD) remained largely incurable. The genetic and environmental factors disrupt enteral bacteria in the gut, which hampers the intestinal repairing capability of damaged mucosa. Commonly practiced pharmacological therapies include 5-aminosalicylic acid with corticosteroids and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. New interventions such as CDP571 and TNF-blocking RDP58 report the loss of patient response. This review discusses the non-pharmacologic selective granulocyte–monocyte-apheresis (GMA) and leukocytapheresis (LCAP) that have been proposed as treatment modalities that reduce mortality. GMA, an extracorporeal vein-to-vein technique, presents a strong safety profile case for its use as a viable therapeutic option compared to GMA's conventional medication safety profile. GMA reported minimal to no side effects in the pediatric population and pregnant women. Numerous studies report the efficacious nature of GMA in UC patients, whereas data on CD patients is insufficient. Its benefits outweigh the risks and are emerging as a favored non-pharmacological treatment option. On the contrary, LCAP uses a general extracorporeal treatment that entraps leukocytes and suppresses cytokine release. It has been deemed more efficacious than conventional drug treatments, the former causing better disease remission, and maintenance. Patients with UC/CD secondary to complications have responded well to the treatment. Side effects of the procedure have remained mild to moderate, and there is little evidence of any severe adverse event occurring in most age groups. LCAP decreases the dependence on steroids and immunosuppressive therapies for IBD. The review will discuss the role of GMA and LCAP.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition of gastrointestinal (GI) tract with dysregulated mucosal immune functions and disturbed commensal ecosystem of the intestinal lumen. IBD is categorized into two major subsets: Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Though advent of biologics has shifted the treatment with relatively longer remission compared to small molecule pharmaceuticals, patients still suffer from long-term complications. Since gut-microbiome is now accepted as another human organ holding potential for long-lasting human health, probiotics, and its engineering hold great promises to treat several previously untreatable chronic inflammatory conditions including IBD. Several emerging biological engineering tools have unlimited potential to manipulate probiotic bacterial system. These can produce useful therapeutic biologics with a goal to either ameliorate and/or treat previously untreatable chronic inflammatory conditions. As gut-microbiome is diverse and vary in different ethnic, geographic, and cultural human population, it will be important to develop vision for personalized probiotic treatment and develop the technology thereof to make personalized probiotic options a reality. The aim of this review paper is to present an overview of the current knowledge on both pharmacological and nonpharmacological IBD treatment modalities with a special emphasis on probiotic strains that are developed through the probiotic engineering. These engineered probiotics contain the most anti-inflammatory cytokines found within the human immune response and are currently being used to treat the intestinal inflammation in IBD for the IBD treatment.

Factors associated with the outcomes in ulcerative colitis patients undergoing granulocyte and monocyte adsorptive apheresis as remission induction therapy: A multicenter cohort study. Ther Apher Dial 2020; 25:502-512. [PMID: 33029920 DOI: 10.1111/1744-9987.13594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2020] [Revised: 08/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) patients harbor activated myeloid leukocytes, which exacerbate and perpetuate UC by releasing inflammatory cytokines. Granulocyte and monocyte adsorptive apheresis (GMA) with an Adacolumn depletes elevated myeloid leukocytes, inducing efficacy with favorable safety. To understand how the clinical outcome with GMA is affected by prior corticosteroid treatment or concomitant immunomodulators, a retrospective multicenter study in 102 UC patients, who had not responded well to first-line medications was undertaken. The remission rates after a course of GMA therapy were significantly higher in corticosteroid-naïve patients compared with those with prior corticosteroid exposure. Absence of corticosteroid background was an independent predictive factor of response to GMA. Further, in corticosteroid-naïve patients, the 1-year cumulative sustained remission rate in patients who did not receive immunomodulators was significantly higher than in patients who received immunomodulators. Accordingly, multivariate analysis revealed that immunomodulator was associated with higher risk of relapse. In conclusion, GMA was an effective treatment for corticosteroid-naïve patients and the efficacy sustained longer in those not receiving immunomodulators during GMA. GMA fulfills the notion that apheresis is to induce disease remission by removing from the body factors known to perpetuate disease. In therapeutic settings, these findings should help better decision making and avoid futile use of medical resources.

Abstract
Coexistence of Crohn's disease (CD) and familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a rare condition and knowledge about this clinical situation is limited with a few case reports in the literature. The treatment of both diseases depends on their individual therapies. However, it is very hard to deal with this coexistence when CD is refractory to standard therapies. Ongoing activity of CD triggers the clinical attacks of FMF and the symptoms like abdominal pain interfere with both disease presentations which can cause problems about diagnostic and therapeutic approach. The main therapeutic agent for FMF is colchicine and diarrhea is the most common side effect of this drug. This side effect also causes problems about management of these diseases when both of them are clinically active. Here we report probably the first case in the literature with coexisting CD and FMF who was successfully treated by leukopheresis since he was refractory to conventional therapies for CD.

Abstract
Selective apheresis procedures have been developed to target specific molecules, antibodies, or cellular elements in a variety of diseases. The advantage of the selective apheresis procedures over conventional therapeutic plasmapheresis is preservation of other essential plasma components such as albumin, immunoglobulins, and clotting factors. These procedures are more commonly employed in Europe and Japan, and few are available in the USA. Apheresis procedures discussed in this review include the various technologies available for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis, double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP), cryofiltration, immunoadsorption procedures, adsorption resins that process plasma, extracorporeal photopheresis, and leukocyte apheresis.

Abstract
Leukapheresis removes circulating leukocytes en route to the target organ. Hitherto unspecific matrixes have been used to remove leukocytes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This report describes a novel selective leukapheresis column based on chemokine-chemokine receptor interaction. We found an increased expression of the gut homing chemokine receptor CCR9 on CD14(+) monocytes and on CD3(+) T lymphocytes from IBD patients. Biologically active CCL25 was coupled to a Sepharose matrix and demonstrated to selectively remove CCR9-expressing cells leaving other cell populations largely unaffected. A patient with active ulcerative colitis, was subjected to CCL25-column leukapheresis. Four days after treatment, he experienced clinical improvement and stable disease improvement ensued. The study illustrates that specific cells can be targeted using high affinity interactions, i.e., CCL25-CCR9 interactions to remove pathogenic gut-homing cells. Leukapheresis using the bCCL25 column should be investigated in a clinical phase I trial of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
mϕ are heterogeneous in their functions, and although it is clear that inflammatory mϕ contribute to inflammation in IBDs, multiple lines of evidence suggest that M2a mϕ may offer protection during intestinal inflammation. In vivo SHIP-deficient mouse mϕ are M2a so SHIP-deficient mice provide a unique genetic model of M2a mϕ. Based on this, this study tested the hypothesis that SHIP-deficient, M2a mϕ protect mice from intestinal inflammation. The objectives were to compare the susceptibility of SHIP+/+ and SHIP-/- littermates with DSS-induced intestinal inflammation and to determine whether protection was mϕ-mediated and whether protection could be transferred to a susceptible host. We have found that SHIP-/- mice are protected during DSS-induced intestinal inflammation. SHIP-/- mice have delayed rectal bleeding and reduced weight loss, disruption of intestinal architecture, and immune cell infiltration during DSS-induced colitis relative to their WT littermates. Using liposome depletion of mϕ, we found that SHIP-/- mouse protection was indeed mϕ-mediated. Finally, we determined that SHIP-/- mϕ-mediated protection could be conferred to susceptible WT mice by adoptive transfer of M2a mϕ derived ex vivo. This study supports our hypothesis by demonstrating that SHIP-deficient, M2a mϕ are protective in this murine model of acute intestinal inflammation. Adoptive transfer of M2a mϕ to patients with IBDs offers a promising, new strategy for treatment that may be particularly useful in patients who are otherwise refractory to conventional therapies.
