Aljinović J, Šošo D, Petrić M, Perković D, Marasović Krstulović D, Kero D, Marinović I. Clinical Phenotype of HLA B*44 Patients in a Rheumatology Outpatient Clinic Favors Peripheral Arthropathies. J Clin Med 2024; 13:5440. [PMID: 39336927 PMCID: PMC11432423 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13185440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2024] [Revised: 09/04/2024] [Accepted: 09/12/2024] [Indexed: 09/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective: The genetic background of HLA-B*27 in spondyloarthritis is known, and the search for another gene with similar role is ongoing. We wanted to investigate clinical presentations of HLA-B*44 patients in rheumatology practice. Methods: A cross-sectional retrospective study of 303 HLA-B*44 adult patients from the outpatient rheumatology clinic from 5/2018-5/2024. Clinical phenotype, confirmed or excluded rheumatic diagnosis, therapy used, and data on HLA A, B, and DR alleles inherited with B*44 were analyzed. Results: A female predominance of 2.79:1 was noted. A total of 150 [49.5%] patients were referred due to peripheral joint pain, 77 [25.4%] due to combined spine and peripheral joint pain or spine alone (57 [18.8%]). A total of 19 [6.3%] patients had no symptoms of the musculoskeletal system. Statistically significant peripheral joint affection was proved in females but not in males (p = 0.04). A total of 121 [40%] patients from B*44 group had established rheumatic disease, with the rest being excluded or under observation. The most common working diagnoses were polyarthritis (32 [10.5%]) and mono-oligoarthritis (14 [4.6%]). A second allele in addition to HLA B*44 showed a similar frequency to the general population. Patients with HLA B*44/44 and B*27/44 genotypes were at the most risk for having definitive rheumatic disease (>60%). Conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) were used in 38.6% of patients, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were used in 31.6% of patients, biologic DMARDs were used in 8.9% of patients, and corticosteroids were used in 7.3% of patients. Conclusions: The most common presentation in HLA-B*44 patients is peripheral joint affection. Most patients with HLA-B*27/44 and B*44/44 genotypes had definitive rheumatic disease. B*44 homozygosity or B*27/44 might be risk factors for arthritis development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-associated peripheral spondyloarthritis (pSpA) decreases quality of life and remains poorly understood. Given the prevalence of this condition and its negative impact, it is surprising that evidence-based disease definitions and diagnostic strategies are lacking. This systematic review summarizes available data to facilitate development and validation of diagnostics, patient-reported outcomes, and imaging indices specific to this condition. METHODS A literature search was conducted. Consensus or classification criteria, case series, cross-sectional studies, cohort studies, and randomized controlled trials related to diagnosis were included. RESULTS A total of 44 studies reporting data on approximately 1500 patients with pSpA were eligible for analysis. Data quality across studies was only graded as fair to good. Due to large heterogeneity, meta-analysis was not possible. The majority of studies incorporated patient-reported outcomes and a physical examination. A total of 13 studies proposed or validated screening tools, consensus, classification, or consensus criteria. A total of 28 studies assessed the role of laboratory tests, none of which were considered sufficiently accurate for use in diagnosis. A total of 17 studies assessed the role of imaging, with the available literature insufficient to fully endorse any imaging modality as a robust diagnostic tool. CONCLUSIONS This review highlights existing inconsistency and lack of a clear diagnostic approach for IBD-associated pSpA. Given the absence of an evidence-based approach, a combination of existing criteria and physician assessment should be utilized. To address this issue comprehensively, our future efforts will be directed toward pursuit of a multidisciplinary approach aimed at standardizing evaluation and diagnosis of IBD-associated pSpA.

Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:3550. [PMID: 38066792 PMCID: PMC10706745 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13233550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2024] Open
Abstract
The strong genetic association between HLA-B*27 and spondyloarthritis (SpA) accounts for about 90% of the susceptibility to axial SpA (axSpA), and the presence of HLA-B*27 is helpful in classifying patients according to the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) classification criteria. However, over the years, other HLA-B alleles have been associated with an increased risk of developing SpA; on this basis, the aim of our study was to describe the demographic, clinical, and radiological characteristics of a cohort of SpA patients who were negative for HLA-B*27. We identified 85 patients with a clinical diagnosis of SpA displaying HLA-B alleles other than HLA-B*27; HLA-B*51 emerged as the most prevalent allele (N = 33, 39%), regardless of the fulfilment of either the axial or the peripheral ASAS criteria. The second most prevalent allele in the full cohort (N = 16, 19%) and in the patients fulfilling either the axial or the peripheral criteria was HLA-B*35. The third most prevalent allele in the full cohort was HLA-B*18 (N = 12, 15%), which was also the second most prevalent allele in the patients fulfilling neither of the two sets of criteria. Overall, the clinical picture was similar across the subgroups fulfilling the different sets of ASAS criteria; however, the patients not fulfilling any ASAS criteria had a higher likelihood of having arthritis compared to the patients fulfilling the axial criteria, whereas the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index was significantly higher in those patients fulfilling the axial criteria compared to those who did not fulfill any criteria. Our results indicate that other HLA alleles, beyond HLA-B*27, could be useful in facilitating SpA diagnosis, particularly in patients with a clinical picture which is consistent with SpA but does not fulfill the ASAS classification criteria.

Abstract
The term spondyloarthritis (SpA) encompasses a group of interrelated disorders characterised by the involvement of the musculoskeletal system as well as extra-articular manifestations like acute anterior uveitis, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Likewise, IBD may present with various extra-intestinal manifestations among which those involving the musculoskeletal system, namely peripheral and axial SpA are the most common. The identification of patients with both SpA and IBD is of paramount importance in clinical practice since the coexistence of these two entities has been associated with great disability and decreased quality of life. In order to achieve an early diagnosis of IBD-SpA it is instrumental that rheumatologists seek for gastrointestinal symptoms in SpA patients and likewise that gastroenterologists seek for inflammatory musculoskeletal symptoms in patients with IBD. This narrative review aims at critically appraising the available evidence about SpA occurring in IBD patients versus IBD occurring in patients with SpA and at highlighting similarities and differences between the two scenarios.

Biomolecules 2023; 13:1178. [PMID: 37627243 PMCID: PMC10452486 DOI: 10.3390/biom13081178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Cell surface HLA-I molecules (Face-1) consist of a polypeptide heavy chain (HC) with two groove domains (G domain) and one constant domain (C-domain) as well as a light chain, B2-microglobulin (B2m). However, HCs can also independently emerge unfolded on the cell surface without peptides as B2m-free HC monomers (Face-2), B2m-free HC homodimers (Face 3), and B2m-free HC heterodimers (Face-4). The transport of these HLA variants from ER to the cell surface was confirmed by antiviral antibiotics that arrest the release of newly synthesized proteins from the ER. Face-2 occurs at low levels on the normal cell surface of the lung, bronchi, epidermis, esophagus, breast, stomach, ilium, colorectum, gall bladder, urinary bladder, seminal vesicles ovarian epithelia, endometrium, thymus, spleen, and lymphocytes. They are upregulated on immune cells upon activation by proinflammatory cytokines, anti-CD3 antibodies, antibiotics (e.g., ionomycin), phytohemagglutinin, retinoic acid, and phorbol myristate acetate. Their density on the cell surface remains high as long as the cells remain in an activated state. After activation-induced upregulation, the Face-2 molecules undergo homo- and hetero-dimerization (Face-3 and Face-4). Alterations in the redox environment promote dimerization. Heterodimerization can occur among and between the alleles of different haplotypes. The glycosylation of these variants differ from that of Face-1, and they may occur with bound exogenous peptides. Spontaneous arthritis occurs in HLA-B27+ mice lacking B2m (HLA-B27+ B2m-/-) but not in HLA-B27+ B2m+/- mice. The mice with HLA-B27 in Face-2 spontaneous configuration develop symptoms such as changes in nails and joints, hair loss, and swelling in paws, leading to ankyloses. Anti-HC-specific mAbs delay disease development. Some HLA-I polyreactive mAbs (MEM series) used for immunostaining confirm the existence of B2m-free variants in several cancer cells. The upregulation of Face-2 in human cancers occurs concomitantly with the downregulation of intact HLAs (Face-1). The HLA monomeric and dimeric variants interact with inhibitory and activating ligands (e.g., KIR), growth factors, cytokines, and neurotransmitters. Similarities in the amino acid sequences of the HLA-I variants and HLA-II β-chain suggest that Face-2 could be the progenitor of both HLA classes. These findings may support the recognition of these variants as a neo-HLA class and proto-HLA.

Abstract
Seronegative spondyloarthropathy (SpA) usually starts in the third decade of life with negative rheumatoid factor, human leukocyte antigen-B27 genetic marker and clinical features of spinal and peripheral arthritis, dactylitis, enthesitis and extra-articular manifestations (EAMs). Cases can be classified as ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, enteropathic arthritis, or juvenile-onset spondyloarthritis. Joint and gut inflammation is intricately linked in SpA and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with shared genetic and immunopathogenic mechanisms. IBD is a common EAM in SpA patients, while extraintestinal manifestations in IBD patients mostly affect the joints. Although individual protocols are available for the management of each disease, the standard therapeutic guidelines of SpA-associated IBD patients remain to be established. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are recommended as initial therapy of peripheral and axial SpA, whereas their use is controversial in IBD due to associated disease flares. Conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs are beneficial for peripheral arthritis but ineffective for axial SpA or IBD therapy. Anti-tumor necrosis factor monoclonal antibodies are effective medications with indicated use in SpA and IBD, and a drug of choice for treating SpA-associated IBD. Janus kinase inhibitors, approved for treating SpA and ulcerative colitis, are promising therapeutics in SpA coexistent with ulcerative colitis. A tight collaboration between gastroenterologists and rheumatologists with mutual referral from early accurate diagnosis to appropriately prompt therapy is required in this complex clinical scenario.

Abstract
Hemophilia is a rare inherited disease which causes bleeding due to Factor VIII or Factor IX deficiency. It is usually X-linked recessive and typically affects males. Arthropathy occurs as a result of cartilage damage and chronic synovitis due to recurrent intra-articular bleeding in hemophilic patients and is mostly seen in the knee, shoulder, hip and ankle joints. There are many other diseases that cause chronic synovitis ankylosing spondylitis (AS), which is a subtype of spondyloarthropathies that cause chronic low back pain, more common in men younger than 45 years of age. In addition to axial involvement, peripheral arthritis, uveitis, enthesitis and dactylitis can be seen. Although the etiology is not fully known, genetic and environmental factors are responsible for the pathogenesis. In this study, we aimed to present congenital hemophilia and AS coexistence in a 22-year-old male patient.

Abstract
Granulomatous inflammation (GI) diseases are a group of chronic inflammation disorders characterized by focal collections of multinucleated giant cells, epithelioid cells and macrophages, with or without necrosis. GI diseases are closely related to microbes, especially virulent intracellular bacterial infections are important factors in the progression of these diseases. They employ a range of strategies to survive the stresses imposed upon them and persist in host cells, becoming the initiator of the fighting. Microbe-host communication is essential to maintain functions of a healthy host, so defense capacity of hosts is another influence factor, which is thought to combine to determine the result of the fighting. With the development of gene research technology, many human genetic loci were identified to be involved in GI diseases susceptibility, providing more insights into and knowledge about GI diseases. The current review aims to provide an update on the most recent progress in the identification and characterization of bacteria in GI diseases in a variety of organ systems and clinical conditions, and examine the invasion and escape mechanisms of pathogens that have been demonstrated in previous studies, we also review the existing data on the predictive factors of the host, mainly on genetic findings. These strategies may improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying GI diseases, and open new avenues for the study of the associated conditions in the future.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is clinically closely associated with arthritis. Three major arthritis clinical subtypes have been described, peripheral arthritis type 1 (PeA1), peripheral arthritis type 2 (PeA2), and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). While genetic overlaps between IBD and arthritis have been defined, detailed pathophysiology for these three major subtypes of arthritis in patients with IBD has only recently begun to be established. The genetic and molecular mechanisms distinguishing axial and peripheral arthropathies in patients with UC and CD need to be better described. Understanding the pathophysiology for PeA1, PeA2, and axSpA in the settings of both UC and CD is necessary to provide the fundamental biology underlying the clinical phenotypes in IBD arthritis. This has been attempted for CD-associated spondyloarthritis, differentiating this from both CD and axSpA, while observing unique peripheral blood mononuclear cells linking gut inflammation to joint disease. We should know more about the processes by which immune cells are perturbed in these disorders, how they translocate to joints, how they are activated, what other molecules and mediators are involved, and how gut microbes and microbial products damage joints. Information from such studies are needed to elucidate whether distinctions between IBD-related peripheral and axSpA are clinically meaningful. IBD-related peripheral and axSpA studies are needed to elucidate whether distinctions between peripheral and axSpA are clinically meaningful, to better understand immunopathogenesis, and to develop novel targeted therapies.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by intestinal inflammation; however, it is also known to have extraintestinal manifestations. Ocular manifestations of IBD include keratopathy, episcleritis, scleritis, and uveitis and are among the most common extraintestinal manifestations. These diseases can lead to significant ocular morbidity if unrecognized and left untreated. A review of the literature was performed on PubMed and is summarized and critically appraised in this article with the aim being to describe the varying ocular manifestations of IBD and outlining their treatments. Ultimately, a framework is provided to investigate ocular symptoms in patients with IBD. An ocular review of systems is also provided as a tool to equip gastroenterologists and internal medicine physicians to be able to recognize and triage ocular complaints appropriately.

Abstract
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that presents with psoriasis (PsO), peripheral and axial arthropathy. The heterogeneity of disease presentation leads to the term "psoriatic disease (PsD)" which is thought to better encompass the range of clinical manifestations. PsA is associated with several comorbidities such as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome and other extra-articular manifestations including uveitis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). While novel therapeutics are being developed following advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease, the diverse combinations of PsA with its various comorbidities still pose a clinical challenge in managing patients with PsA. This article reviews our current understanding of the pathogenesis of PsA and how various pathways in the pathogenesis lead to the two comorbid extra-articular manifestations - uveitis and IBD. We also review current evidence of treatment strategies in managing patients with PsA with comorbidities of uveitis and/or IBD.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has markedly impacted on cultural, political, and economic structures all over the world. Several aspects of its pathogenesis and related clinical consequences have not yet been elucidated. Infection rates, as well morbidity and mortality differed within countries. It is intriguing for scientists to understand how patient genetics may influence the outcome of the condition, to clarify which aspects could be related the clinical variability of SARS-CoV-2 disease. We reviewed the studies exploring the role of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) genotypes on individual responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or progression, discussing also the contribution of the immunological patterns MHC-related. In March 2021, the main online databases were accessed. All the articles that investigated the possible association between the HLA genotypes and related polymorphisms with susceptibility, severity and progression of COVID-19 were considered. Although both genetic and environmental factors are certainly expected to influence the susceptibility to or protection of individuals, the HLA and related polymorphisms can influence susceptibility, progression and severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The crucial role played by HLA molecules in the immune response, especially through pathogen-derived peptide presentation, and the huge molecular variability of HLA alleles in the human populations could be responsible for the different rates of infection and the different patients following COVID-19 infection.

Ultrasound-Verified Peripheral Arthritis in Patients with HLA-B*35 Positive Spondyloarthritis. Life (Basel) 2021; 11:life11060524.

Abstract
Background: We aimed to investigate possible association between the HLA-B*35 allele and peripheral arthritis, tenosynovitis and enthesitis. Methods: Ultrasound of peripheral joints and tendons was performed in 72 HLA-B*35 positive patients with preliminary diagnosis of undifferentiated axial form of spondyloarthitis and joint and tendon pain. Patients with other known types of axial and peripheral spondyloarthritis were excluded as well as patients with other known types of arthritis. Results: Pathological changes were found in the joints of 33 (46%) patients and on the tendons in 13 (18%) patients. The most common ultrasound findings were joint effusion and synovial proliferation with positive power Doppler signal grade 1. The most common ultrasound finding in patients with painful tendons was tenosynovitis. A higher disease activity and an increased incidence of elevated CRP (≥5 mg/L) were more often observed in the group with positive ultrasound findings. Conclusion: In this study, we showed that the HLA-B*35 allele could be a potential risk factor for developing peripheral arthritis, but not for tenosynovits and enthesitis in patients with the undifferentiated axial form of spondyloarthritis. This result may influence the follow up of these patients, especially since it gives us an opportunity to consider the use of different types of DMARDs in the treatment of these patients.

Abstract
Spondylarthritis (SpA) is one of the most frequent extraintestinal manifestations of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Several arthritogenic enterobacterial infections can induce sequelae such as reactive SpA. Studies on the gut-synovium axis in view of genetic, immunological, clinical and therapeutic aspects has made enterogenic SpA a model disease of all forms of SpA. The same applies for investigating IBD, as subclinical gut inflammation seen in SpA patients has provided significant evidence for a better understanding of mucosa-associated early immune events in Crohn's disease (CD). This article summarizes the pathognomonic clinical features, diagnostic steps, differential diagnosis and current pathogenetic models of enterogenic SpA. Knowledge of pathogenetic contexts leads to concrete treatment recommendations. These vary individually depending on the underlying IBD, on the inflammatory intestinal or rheumatic activity and on the rheumatological manifestation pattern.

Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common form of inflammatory spinal arthritis with a complex polygenic aetiology. Genome-wide association studies have identified more than 100 loci, including some involved in antigen presentation (HLA-B27, ERAP1, and ERAP2), some in Th17 responses (IL6R, IL23R, TYK2, and STAT3), and others in macrophages and T-cells (IL7R, CSF2, RUNX3, and GPR65). Such observations have already helped identify potential new therapies targeting IL-17 and GM-CSF. Most AS genetic associations are not in protein-coding sequences but lie in intergenic regions where their direct relationship to particular genes is difficult to assess. They most likely reflect functional polymorphisms concerned with cell type-specific regulation of gene expression. Clarifying the nature of these associations should help to understand the pathogenic pathways involved in AS better and suggest potential cellular and molecular targets for drug therapy. However, even identifying the precise mechanisms behind the extremely strong HLA-B27 association with AS has so far proved elusive. Polygenic risk scores (using all the known genetic associations with AS) can be effective for the diagnosis of AS, particularly where there is a relatively high pre-test probability of AS. Genetic prediction of disease outcomes and response to biologics is not currently practicable.

Abstract
The axial SpAs (axSpAs) are clearly clinically a heterogeneous set of diseases with markedly varying extra-articular features. These diseases are all highly heritable and have overlapping but differing genetic origins. Shared features include association with HLA class I alleles and genes of the IL-23 pathway, among other things. Significant differences do exist however, both in the genetic loci involved and at specific loci in the individual genetic variants associated with each disease. These similarities and differences are of great interest in regards to disease pathogenesis and treatment development, although individually they are too small in effect to be of prognostic or diagnostic value. Polygenic risk scores, which capture a high proportion of the genetic variation between disorders, have been shown to have clinically useful discriminatory capacity in axSpA. This suggests they have the potential to enable improved disease classification, incorporating basic pathogenic features such as genomics, and ultimately benefitting clinical care. The aim of this article is to review the genetic characteristics of the spectrum of axSpAs and to discuss how this influences our understanding of the disease pathogenesis and the clinical implications of this understanding.

Abstract
Background and Aim Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a subtype of inflammatory bowel disease that can develop extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) in a subgroup of patients. The aim of this work was to study the frequency and clinical factors associated with the development of EIMs. Methods We evaluated a total of 260 Mexican patients with confirmed UC who were followed retrospectively in order to identify the factors associated with the presence of EIMs. Results The frequency of EIM was 55.8%. The factors associated with the development of EIM were pancolitis (p = 0.003, OR = 2.44, 95% CI = 1.34-4.56) and previous colectomy (p = 0.024, OR = 7.54, 95% CI = 1.20-60.44). A clinical course of initial activity and then long remission for >5 years was found to be a protective factor (p = 0.002, OR = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.14-0.67). Conclusion The frequency of EIM was 55.8% in our population, and the factors associated with their development were pancolitis and colectomy; meanwhile, a clinical course of initial activity and then long remission was a protector feature.

Abstract
Background/Aims Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Some patients with this condition have been reported to present with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), a renal complication that can cause end-stage renal failure, but the frequency of this comorbidity has not been described. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of IgAN in patients with IBD. Methods This study included 620 patients with IBD (338 with ulcerative colitis [UC] and 282 with Crohn’s disease [CD]) from the Hiroshima University Hospital outpatient department. IgAN cases were identified from medical interviews, blood examinations (serum immunoglobulin A), and urinalyses (occult blood, proteinuria). Definitive IgAN cases were diagnosed by renal biopsies, while those detected through the clinical course and test results, but not clinically recommended for renal biopsy, were defined as suspected IgAN. Results We analyzed 427 cases meeting the inclusion criteria (220 with UC and 207 with CD). The incidence of IgAN across all patients with IBD was 3.0%. The frequency of IgAN was significantly higher in patients with CD (11/207, 5.3%) than in those with UC (2/220, 0.9%) (P< 0.01). Moreover, a significant correlation was found between CD patients with ileostomy or colostomy and a diagnosis of IgAN. Conclusions Patients with IBD present a high incidence of IgAN, especially those with CD who have undergone ileostomy or colostomy.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is chronic, idiopathic disease that affects the colon and the rectum and the underlying pathogenesis of UC remains to be known. The clinical drugs are mainly work based on anti-inflammation and immune system. However, most of them are expensive and have severe side effects. Therefore, identification of novel targets and exploring new drugs are urgently needed. In this study, several bioinformatics approaches were used to discover key genes and further in order to explore the pathogenesis of UC. Two microarray datasets, GSE38713 and GSE9452 were selected from NCBI-Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differentially expression genes (DEGs) were identified by using LIMMA Package of R. Then, we filtered clustered candidate genes into Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analysis with the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID), KEGG pathway based on functions and signaling pathways with significant enrichment analysis. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed by the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/ Proteins (STRING) analysis, and visualized by Cytoscape and further analyzed by Molecular Complex Detection. Lastly, 353 up-regulated and 145 down-regulated genes were than recognized. After consulting a number of references and network degree analysis, four hub genes, namely FCGR2A, C3, INPP5A, and ACAA1 were identified, and these genes were mainly enriched in complement and coagulation cascades, mineral absorption, and Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR) signaling pathways. In conclusion, this study would provide new clues for the pathogenesis and identification of drug targets of UC in the near future.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBDs), including the two main subtypes of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, not only affects the gastrointestinal system, but also has a wide range of extra-intestinal manifestations (EIMs) that are major sources of morbidity and disability, and therefore represent what can be considered a real syndrome. The pathogenetic mechanisms underlying these EIMs are unknown, but some may share a common pathogenesis with IBD and others may be due to IBD treatment. The aim of this review is to examine our current knowledge of IBD EIMs and their treatment.

Abstract
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) are a heterogeneous group of inflammatory chronic diseases characterized by sharing common pathogenic, clinical and radiologic features. The aim of this review is to support clinicians in understanding and managing this complex disease, from pathogenesis to therapeutic targets, through a systematic review of the current literature in accordance with PRISMA guidelines and checklist. HLA-B27 has been found to be associated with axial involvement either in SA and in PsA patients: it might be involved through presentation of an "arthritogenic peptide" to autoreactive CD8+ T cells or might accumulate in misfolded form and induce production pro-inflammatory cytokines by binding to several innate immune receptors. This genetic background in combination with mechanical stress leads to the activation of both innate and acquired immune responses as well as a possible role of autoimmunity in SpA pathogenesis. The release of IL-23 and IL-17 is relevant for their systemic and local effect on bone, inducing the activation of osteoclasts. Thus, the regulatory role of IL-17 on fibroblasts, osteoblasts and chondrocytes has an impact in both synovial inflammation and joint destruction. Innovative therapies targeting IL-12/23 and IL-17 and the use of small targeted synthetic molecules, as JAK-inhibitors, proved to be effective in SpA patients representing an alternative strategy to TNF-inhibitors.

[PMID: 32717807 PMCID: PMC7432860 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21155205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 61] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2020] [Revised: 07/06/2020] [Accepted: 07/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The spread of COVID-19 is showing huge, unexplained, differences between northern and southern Italy. We hypothesized that the regional prevalence of specific class I human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles, which shape the anti-viral immune response, might partly underlie these differences. Through an ecological approach, we analyzed whether a set of HLA alleles (A, B, C), known to be involved in the immune response against infections, correlates with COVID-19 incidence. COVID-19 data were provided by the National Civil Protection Department, whereas HLA allele prevalence was retrieved through the Italian Bone-Marrow Donors Registry. Among all the alleles, HLA-A*25, B*08, B*44, B*15:01, B*51, C*01, and C*03 showed a positive log-linear correlation with COVID-19 incidence rate fixed on 9 April 2020 in proximity of the national outbreak peak (Pearson’s coefficients between 0.50 and 0.70, p-value < 0.0001), whereas HLA-B*14, B*18, and B*49 showed an inverse log-linear correlation (Pearson’s coefficients between −0.47 and −0.59, p-value < 0.0001). When alleles were examined simultaneously using a multiple regression model to control for confounding factors, HLA-B*44 and C*01 were still positively and independently associated with COVID-19: a growth rate of 16% (95%CI: 0.1–35%) per 1% point increase in B*44 prevalence; and of 19% (95%CI: 1–41%) per 1% point increase in C*01 prevalence. Our epidemiologic analysis, despite the limits of the ecological approach, is strongly suggestive of a permissive role of HLA-C*01 and B*44 towards SARS-CoV-2 infection, which warrants further investigation in case-control studies. This study opens a new potential avenue for the identification of sub-populations at risk, which could provide Health Services with a tool to define more targeted clinical management strategies and priorities in vaccination campaigns.

TNF-α inhibitor therapy can improve the immune imbalance of CD4+ T cells and negative regulatory cells but not CD8+ T cells in ankylosing spondylitis. Arthritis Res Ther 2020; 22:149. [PMID: 32560733 PMCID: PMC7304211 DOI: 10.1186/s13075-020-02226-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2020] [Accepted: 05/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies into ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and its relationship with immune imbalance are controversial, and the correlation between the efficacy of TNF-α inhibitor and changes in immune imbalance is unclear. METHODS A total of 40 immune cells were tested with flow cytometry, and the results of 105 healthy control (HC) subjects, 177 active-stage AS patients, and 23 AS cases before and after 12 weeks of TNF-α inhibitor therapy (Anbainuo) were analyzed. RESULTS Compared with the HC group, the proportion of immune cells, such as naïve and central memory CD4+T cells, in AS increased (P < 0.0001), but effector memory and terminally differentiated CD4+T cells were decreased (P < 0.01 and 0.0001, respectively). Naïve, central memory, and effector memory CD8+T cells were increased (P < 0.0001, 0.001, and 0.01, respectively), but terminally differentiated CD8+T cells were decreased (P < 0.0001). Th1 cells (helper T cells-1), Tfh1 cells (follicular helper T cells-1), Tc1 cells (cytotoxic T cells-1), and Tregs (regulatory T cells) were lower (P < 0.01, 0.05, 0.0001, and 0.001, respectively), but Th17 cells, Tfh17 cells, and Tc cells were higher (P < 0.001, 0.0001, and 0.001, respectively). The proportions of total B cells and class-switched B cells were increased (P < 0.05), but non-switched B cells, plasma cells, memory B cells, and immature Bregs (regulatory B cells) were lower (P < 0.01, 0.0001, 0.0001, and 0.0001, respectively). After Anbainuo therapy, the percentage of naïve CD4+ T cells had decreased (P < 0.05) but Tregs and B10 cells (IL-10-producing regulatory B cells) had increased (P < 0.01 and 0.05, respectively), and the increase in Tregs was positively correlated with the decrease in C-reactive protein (CRP) (r = 0.489, P = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS We found that active-stage AS patients have an immunity imbalance of frequency involving multiple types of immune cells, including CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells, Th cells, Tfh cells, Tc cells, Tregs, Bregs, and B cells. TNF-α inhibitor Anbainuo can not only help to inhibit disease activity but can also improve the immune imbalance of CD4+ T cells and negative regulatory cells in frequency. But CD8+ T cells have not been rescued.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extra-intestinal manifestations (EIM) are common in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and may affect up to 40% of the patients during the course of the disease. Peripheral arthralgia (PA) is by far the most common EIM. To date, TNFα inhibitors are the most established treatment for EIMs in IBD. Infliximab (IFX) trough levels (TL) and anti-IFX antibodies (ATI) are correlated with multiple outcomes in IBD such as clinical response and remission, mucosal healing, fistular healing, and more. So far, a correlation between PA and IFX TL\ATI has not been evaluated. METHODS This retrospective study included IBD patients followed by the gastroenterology department of Sheba Medical Center. Patients with active PA at onset of IFX treatment were included. IFX TL and ATI were evaluated at week 6, 14, and 26 and correlated with PA persistence. RESULTS Forty patients (37 Crohn's and 3 ulcerative colitis) with IBD-related PA were included. The overall prevalence of PA was 55% (22/40), 42.5% (17/40), and 55% (22/40) after 6, 14, and 26 weeks, respectively. IFX trough drug levels were not associated with reported PA at week 6 [median, 11.8 μg/ml (IQR 6.6-15.5) vs 10.05 μg/ml (IQR 7.35-12.87), p = 0.56], week 14 [median, 4.7 μg/ml (IQR 2.3-7) vs 3.1 μg/ml (IQR 1.35-7.35), p = 0.55], and week 26 [median, 3 μg/ml (IQR 1.15-5.17) vs 3.4 μg/ml (IQR 0.13-6.75), p = 0.94]. Detectable ATI were significantly more prevalent in patients with PA than in patients without PA at week 26 [11/22 (50%) vs 3/18 (16.7%), p = 0.028]. CONCLUSIONS In patients with IBD-related PA, ATI are associated with an increased risk of persistence of PA. No direct correlation was demonstrated between IFX TL and persistence of PA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the relationship among smoking, TNF-α-blocker therapy, and the dynamic changes in gut microbiota in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). METHODS Using a 16S rRNA sequence, 98 fecal samples of 20 AS patients collected after 0, 1, 3 and 6 months of anti-TNF-α treatment and from 20 matched health controls were examined. The variation in composition, abundance, and diversity of gut microbiota was analyzed. The dynamic effects of smoking and treatment on gut microbiota and therapeutic efficacy in AS patients were studied. RESULTS The increased relative abundance of microbiota in AS nonsmokers was g_Comamonas and g_Desulfovibrio, while that in AS smokers was g_Actinomyces, g_Collinsella, g_Lachnospiraceae_UCG-008, and g_Paraprevotella. The relative abundance of gut microbiota showed dynamic variation. The improvement rate of ASDAS in AS nonsmokers was higher than that in AS smokers (2.297 vs 1.736) after anti-TNF-α treatment. The β-diversity of gut microbiota in AS smokers was lower than that in AS nonsmokers and improved with treatment. CONCLUSIONS Both smoking and TNF-α-blocker had significant effects on the composition, relative abundance, and diversity of gut microbiota in AS patients. The AS smokers characteristically shared g_Collinsella and g_Dorea. The relative abundance of gut microbiota revealed high variability and was in dynamic fluctuation during treatment. The response of gut microbiota to anti-TNF-α treatment was found to be heterogeneous and selective. AS nonsmokers showed a greater improvement rate of ASDAS-CRP with treatment than AS smokers did. The AS smokers showed a lower β-diversity of gut microbiota, and improved after treatment. Key Points • Characterized the dynamic variation in gut microbiota in AS patients classified as smokers and nonsmokers during treatment with anti-TNF-α. • Confirmed the interaction between smoking, anti-TNF-α therapy, and gut microbiota.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The human leucocyte antigen (HLA) complex, located at chromosome 6p21.3 is a highly polymorphic region containing the classical class I and II HLA genes. The region is highly associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), largely through genome-wide association studies (GWAS). AIMS To review the role of HLA in immune function, summarise data on risk/protective HLA genotypes for IBD, discuss the role of HLA in IBD pathogenesis, treatment and examine limitations that might be addressed by future research. METHODS An organised search strategy was used to collate articles describing HLA genes in IBD, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. RESULTS All classical HLA genes with variation (including HLA-A, B, C, DRB1, DQA1, DQB1, DPA1 and DPB1) harbour IBD-associated genotypes. The most implicated gene is HLA-DRB1, with HLA-DRB1*03:01 the most associated risk allele in both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Elucidating precise disease associations is challenging due to high linkage disequilibrium between HLA genotypes. The mechanisms by which risk alleles cause disease are multifactorial, with the best evidence indicating structural and electrostatic alteration impacting antigen binding and downstream signalling. Adverse medication events have been associated with HLA genotypes including with thiopurines (pancreatitis) and anti-TNF agents (antibody formation). CONCLUSIONS The HLA complex is associated with multiple risk/protective alleles for IBD. Future research utilising long-read technology, ascertainment of zygosity and integration in disease modelling will improve the functional understanding and clinical translation of genetic findings.

Abstract
AS is a common rheumatic condition characterized by inflammation and new bone formation. The pathogenesis of AS is likely multifactorial and has not been fully elucidated to date. A major genetic role has been demonstrated. The strongest genetic association is with HLA B27. Numerous other associated genetic polymorphisms have been identified, including those affecting the type 17 immune pathway, although the precise link between genetics and pathogenesis remains unexplained. Several immunological alterations, together with recent therapeutic advances, support a central role for IL-23- and IL-17-producing immune cells in disease pathogenesis. Recently, perturbations of gut microbiota of AS patients have further catalysed research and offer potential for future therapeutic intervention. In this review we outline the genetic basis of AS and describe the current hypotheses for disease pathogenesis. We synthesize recent experimental research data and clinical studies to support a central role for the type 17/23 immune axis in AS.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) represent a complex array of disease processes with variable epidemiologic penetrance, genetic antecedents, and phenotypic presentations. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of primary and secondary EIMs as well as salient treatment strategies utilized. RECENT FINDINGS While the genetic antecedents remain incompletely understood, the treatment armamentarium for EIMs has expanded with new pharmaceutical drug classes that effectively treat IBD. EIMs are an increasingly recognized complication of IBD that require prompt recognition, multidisciplinary management, and a multifaceted therapeutic approach. This review highlights the complexities and ramifications of EIM management and offers therapeutic guidance.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder, primarily of, but not restricted to the gut. Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) are frequently observed and involve the joints, eyes, hepatobiliary tract, and skin. Areas covered: In this review, we discuss classical EIM focusing on epidemiology, genetics, and pathogenesis, highlighting recent advances in the understanding of EIM. We further discuss treatment-induced immunological phenomena, which are increasingly recognized and might challenge IBD-treating physicians in the era of biological treatment. Expert opinion: EIM considerably contributes to morbidity and mortality. Genetic studies have revealed a common genetic background between EIM and IBD and among specific EIM. Identified protein interactions have been shown to cluster in shared biological pathways. However - despite these recent advances - pathogenesis of EIM is at best partially understood. Several pathogenic mechanisms have been proposed such as upregulation of tumor necrosis factor, aberrant lymphocyte homing, and cross-reactive antigen presentation. It still remains unclear whether EIM is a direct result of the inflammatory process in the gut or rather a consequence of a shared genetic background leading to dysfunctional immune responses to environmental stimuli. Exploration and understanding of EIM genetics and pathophysiology will pave the road for better and more efficacious treatment options in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Extraintestinal cutaneous manifestations of IBD represent a severe disease complication and an early and accurate treatment might positively influence the disease course. Using the patient collective of the Swiss IBD Cohort Study (SIBDCS), we analysed epidemiological as well as clinical factors being associated with the onset of pyoderma gangrenosum, erythema nodosum and aphthous ulcers in IBD patients. METHODS We included 3266 SIBDCs patients, 1840 with Crohn's disease (CD) and 1426 with ulcerative colitis (UC) or IBD unclassified (IBDU) and analysed the association of cutaneous manifestations with age, age at diagnosis time, type of disease, gender, family history, HLA-allotype, smoking, intestinal disease activity, therapy and other extraintestinal manifestations (EIM). RESULTS 354 CD patients and 136 UC/IBDU patients presented with skin manifestations at any time during their disease course. In both, CD and UC, female gender and younger age at IBD diagnosis were significantly associated with extraintestinal skin manifestations. For CD, we also detected a positive family history as associated factor. As an indicator of more intensive intestinal disease activity, patients with cutaneous manifestations of IBD needed more frequently therapy with antibiotics, steroids, immunomodulators and anti-TNF. Multivariate analysis revealed female gender, younger age at diagnosis and presence of other extraintestinal manifestations as factors being associated with skin EIM in IBD patients and anti-TNF as well as immunomodulatory treatment in CD patients. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that young females with a positive family history of IBD might be at increased risk for the onset of skin manifestations and require a careful screening for such complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine associations of HLA class I and class II alleles with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in three cohorts of patients of European, Asian and African ancestry. METHODS HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQB1 and HLA-DPB1 alleles were genotyped in 1948 unrelated white and 67 African-American patients with AS from the Prospective Study of Outcomes in Ankylosing Spondylitis cohort, the North American Spondylitis Consortium and Australo-Anglo-American Spondyloarthritis Consortium, 990 white and 245 African-American Controls and HLA-B alleles in 442 Han Chinese patients with AS and 346 controls from Shanghai and Gansu, China. In addition to the case:control analyses, HLA-B*27-negative patients with AS were analysed separately, and logistic regression and 'relative predispositional effects' (RPE) analyses were carried out to control for the major effect of HLA-B*27 on disease susceptibility. RESULTS Although numerous associations were seen between HLA alleles and AS in whites, among HLA-B*27-negative patients with AS , positive associations were seen with HLA-A*29, B*38, B*49, B*52, DRB1*11 and DPB1*03:01 and negative associations with HLA-B*07, HLA-B*57, HLA-DRB1*15:01, HLA-DQB1*02:01 and HLA-DQB1*06:02. Additional associations with HLA-B*14 and B*40 (B60) were observed via RPE analysis, which excludes the HLA-B*27 alleles. The increased frequency of HLA-B*40:01 and decreased frequency of HLA-B*07 was also seen in Han Chinese and African-Americans with AS. HLA-B*08 was decreased in whites with acute anterior uveitis. CONCLUSIONS These data, analysing the largest number of patients with AS examined to date in three ethnic groups, confirm that other HLA class I and II alleles other than HLA-B*27 to be operative in AS predisposition.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that encompasses Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Inflammatory bowel disease is not exclusive to the gastrointestinal system, as it has been identified to be associated with extraintestinal manifestations that encompass every other organ system in the human body. This review article will comprehensively review the current knowledge on extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease. In addition, it will discuss the recommendations for screening and surveillance for extraintestinal manifestations in these patients since early appropriate diagnosis is imperative in preventing morbidity and cancer development.

Abstract
Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) are frequently observed in adult and pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The most common EIMs involve the joints, skin, and eyes, but they can affect various organs and result in significant morbidity. Since EIMs can appear years before the diagnosis of IBD is made, clinicians should be aware of their various manifestations to help decrease diagnostic delay of IBD and establish appropriate treatment plans.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a systemic, chronic autoimmune disease of the digestive tract. The etiology and pathophysiology of IBD is not fully understood, though it is believed to be due to a complex interaction among the patient's genotype, immune system, and environmental factors. Inflammatory bowel disease is frequently accompanied by extraintestinal manifestations that occur in almost half of all patients. The most common extraintestinal manifestation that occurs is joint disease, collectively termed the arthropathies of IBD. While epidemiological studies have estimated that the arthropathies of IBD occur in over 46% of the IBD population, there is a paucity of nursing literature concerning the extraintestinal manifestations of IBD and the role of nurses in patient care. Thus, the purpose of this article is to facilitate a greater understanding for nurses and nurse clinicians regarding the arthropathies associated with IBD including classifications, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management.

Abstract
Genetic investigations on ancient human remains affected by rheumatological pathologies are a research field of particular interest for identifying the pathogenesis of diseases, especially those having an autoimmune background such as spondyloarthopaties (SpA). Reliable studies concerning this topic require collaboration between multiple disciplines, usually starting from paleopathologic observations up to molecular genetic screening. Here, we focused our investigation in a medieval necropolis in the Basque Country (13th-15th century, N = 163), which presents a high frequency of joint pathologies through two approaches: on the one hand, the analysis of joint manifestations for the differential diagnosis of the SpA and, on the other hand, the determination of the alleles of the HLA-B gene. The morphological analysis allowed determining that 30% of the individuals had rheumatic bone manifestations, with SpA being the most frequent (45%). The genetic analysis of individuals with and without pathologies, based on the study of the HLA-B gene, allowed finding 17 alleles for this gene, with HLA-B40, HLA-B27 and HLA-B35 being the most frequent. Although these alleles have been traditionally described as genetic markers associated to the development of SpA, in this study they were also found in individuals with other rheumatic diseases (osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis) and even in individuals without pathologies. These data confirm the complexity of the relationship of the HLA-B gene variants with SpA, since it is not possible to establish a diagnosis of SpA with these variants alone. However, we suggest that allele HLA-B40, in combination with some specific rheumatic bone manifestations, facilitates the diagnosis of SpA.

Abstract
Since the discovery of the first Crohn's disease (CD) gene NOD2 in 2001, 140 genetic loci have been found in whites using high-throughput genome-wide association studies. Several genes influence the CD subphenotypes and treatment response. With the observations of increasing prevalence in Asia and developing countries and the incomplete explanation of CD variance, other underexplored areas need to be integrated through novel methodologies. Algorithms that incorporate specific genetic risk alleles with other biomarkers will be developed and used to predict CD disease course, complications, and response to specific therapies, allowing precision medicine to become real in CD.

Abstract
Background: Musculoskeletal manifestations (MSM) of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are usually the most frequent extraintestinal manifestations. However, they are not paid enough attention during regular office visits. This cross-sectional study aimed to draw a clinical picture of MSM and their relationships with other findings in patients with IBD. Materials and Methods: Patients of our IBD cohort between March 2012 and September 2013 were consecutively evaluated. Those with current or past history of any MSM were examined by a rheumatologist. The outcome of interest was different MSMs. Distribution of IBD manifestations between the two groups of patients with (n = 20) and without (n = 253) MSM was compared. Logistic regression analysis was employed to find the relationships of demographic, clinical, and laboratory findings with MSM. Results: Two hundred and seventy-three patients were enrolled. Forty-two patients (15.4%) had extraintestinal manifestations of which twenty patients (7.5%) had at least one MSM. 7/20 patients (35%) versus 22/253 (8.7%) had other extraintestinal manifestations (P = 0.0001). 12/20 patients (57%) had arthritis (polyarthritis, 33% and oligoarthritis, 67%). The most frequent involved joints were knee and ankle observed in 8 (40%) and 7 (35%) patients, respectively. The inflammatory back pain was recorded in 5/20 patients (25%) whereas two patients (10%) had ankylosing spondylitis. In regression analysis, oral aphthous (odds ratio [OR] =8.8 [95% confidence intervals (CI), 1.7–45], P = 0.009) and other extraintestinal manifestations (OR = 5.2 [95% CI, 1.3–20], P = 0.02) were significantly related with arthritis. Conclusion: The most frequent extraintestinal manifestations in patients with IBD were MSM. Knee and ankle were the most frequent involved joints. Extraintestinal manifestations were determinant variables of arthritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Extraintestinal manifestations [EIMs] are common in inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. Data on epidemiology and risk factors of EIMs in IBD patients are limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of EIMs in a large cohort of Greek IBD patients and identify risk factors for their development. METHODS The study population consisted of IBD patients, who were followed in eight tertiary Greek hospitals. Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients were analysed. The diagnosis of EIMs was based on standard criteria and on specialist consultation. RESULTS In total, 1860 IBD patients (1001 with Crohn's disease [CD], 859 with ulcerative colitis [UC]) were registered. Among them 615 [33.1%] exhibited at least one EIM; 238 patients [38.6%] developed an EIM before IBD diagnosis. An association between active IBD and presence of an EIM was established in 61.1% of the patients. Arthritic [peripheral arthritis], mucocutaneous [erythema nodosum], and ocular [episcleritis] were the most common manifestations. EIMs were more prevalent in females, patients with CD, smokers [for all p <0.0001], patients with extensive UC [p = 0.007], and patients with a previous appendectomy [p < 0.0001] or a major IBD-related surgery [p = 0.012]. CONCLUSIONS About one-third of Greek IBD patients developed at least one EIM. Of those, more than one-third had their EIM diagnosed before IBD, and in about two-thirds it was related to disease activity. EIMs were more frequently present in females and patients with extensive UC in multivariate analysis.

Abstract
Genetic factors play a significant role in determining inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) susceptibility. Epidemiologic data support genetic contribution to the pathogenesis of IBD, which include familial aggregation, twin studies, and racial and ethnic differences in disease prevalence. Recently, several new genes have been identified to be involved in the genetic susceptibility to IBD. The characterization of novel genes potentially will lead to the identification of therapeutic agents and clinical assessment of phenotype and prognosis in patients with IBD. The development of genetic markers associated with clinical outcomes in patients with IBD will be very important in the future. The progress of molecular biology tools (microarrays, proteomics, and epigenetics) have progressed the field of the genetic markers discovery. The advances in bioinformatics coupled with cross-disciplinary collaborations have greatly enhanced our ability to retrieve, characterize, and analyze large amounts of data generated by the technological advances. The techniques available for markers development are genomics (single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping, pharmacogenetics, and gene expression analyses) and proteomics. This could be a potential great benefit in predicting the course of disease in individual patients and in guiding appropriate medical therapy.

Abstract
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a frequent extra-intestinal manifestation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), although its real diffusion is commonly considered underestimated. Abnormalities in the microbioma and genetic predisposition have been implicated in the link between bowel and joint inflammation. Otherwise, up to date, pathogenetic mechanisms are still largely unknown and the exact influence of the bowel activity on rheumatic manifestations is not clearly explained. Due to evidence-based results of clinical studies, the interest on clinically asymptomatic SpA in IBD patients increased in the last few years. Actually, occult enthesitis and sacroiliitis are discovered in high percentages of IBD patients by different imaging techniques, mainly enthesis ultrasound (US) and sacroiliac joint X-ray examinations. Several diagnostic approaches and biomarkers have been proposed in an attempt to correctly classify and diagnose clinically occult joint manifestations and to define clusters of risk for patient screening, although definitive results are still lacking. The correct recognition of occult SpA in IBD requires an integrated multidisciplinary approach in order to identify common diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The use of inexpensive and rapid imaging techniques, such as US and X-ray, should be routinely included in daily clinical practice and trials to correctly evaluate occult SpA, thus preventing future disability and worsening of quality of life in IBD patients.

Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is the main type of chronic inflammatory bowel disease of unknown etiology. Evidence from family and twin studies suggests that genetics plays a significant role in predisposing an individual to develop Crohn's disease. A susceptibility locus for Crohn's disease has been mapped 3 to chromosome 16: a frameshift variant and two missense variants of NOD2, encoding a member of the Apaf-1/Ced-4 superfamily of apoptosis regulators which is expressed in hematopoietic compartment cells and intestinal epithelial cells as well as in paneth cells, where NOD2 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of Crohn disease in the gastrointestinal system. This leads to alteration the structure of either the leucine-rich repeat domain of the protein or the adjacent region. NOD2 activates nuclear factor NF-kB; this activating function is regulated by the carboxy-terminal leucine-rich repeat domain, which has two functions, first an inhibitory role and also acts as an intracellular receptor for components of microbial pathogens. Thus, NOD2 gene product confers susceptibility to Crohn's disease by altering the recognition of these components and/or by over-activating NF-kB in intestinal epithelial cells as well as in paneth cells. Further confirmation of a genetic predisposition comes from studies of the association between the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system and CD. The immunogenetic predisposition may be considered an important requirement for the development of CD, as several alleles of human major histocompatibility complex had an association with CD. Although it is difficult to estimate the importance of this region in determining overall genetic susceptibility in a population, studies of HLA allele sharing within families suggest that this region contributes between 10% and 33% of the total genetic risk of Crohn's disease.

Abstract
Extraintestinal manifestations (EIM) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are frequent and may occur before or after IBD diagnosis. EIM may impact the quality of life for patients with IBD significantly requiring specific treatment depending on the affected organ(s). They most frequently affect joints, skin, or eyes, but can also less frequently involve other organs such as liver, lungs, or pancreas. Certain EIM, such as peripheral arthritis, oral aphthous ulcers, episcleritis, or erythema nodosum, are frequently associated with active intestinal inflammation and usually improve by treatment of the intestinal activity. Other EIM, such as uveitis or ankylosing spondylitis, usually occur independent of intestinal inflammatory activity. For other not so rare EIM, such as pyoderma gangrenosum and primary sclerosing cholangitis, the association with the activity of the underlying IBD is unclear. Successful therapy of EIM is essential for improving quality of life of patients with IBD. Besides other options, tumor necrosis factor antibody therapy is an important therapy for EIM in patients with IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most commonly prescribed analgesics for treatment of variety of pain and inflammatory conditions. Their effects on the gastrointestinal tract are well described, but their possible propensity to cause clinical relapse in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains somewhat unclear. AIM We reviewed case reports, case-control and cohort studies, as well as clinical trials of NSAIDs in patients with quiescent IBD in order to better assess the magnitude and type of effect. RESULTS The published literature on this subject is of mixed quality and many of the studies are open to criticism. The majority of patients with IBD tolerate these medications, while in the sole clinical trial of NSAIDs 20% experienced a clinical and laboratory documented relapse of disease, within 7-10 days of NSAID ingestion. The data on cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-selective anti-inflammatory analgesic are somewhat unclear, but nimesulide, celecoxib and etoricoxib do not appear to be associated with relapse of disease. CONCLUSION Conventional NSAIDs may cause clinical relapse in about 20% of patients with quiescent IBD, which may be due to dual inhibition of the COX enzymes. Certain COX-2-selective NSAIDs appear to be safe.

Abstract
Objective.The Assessment of Spondyloarthritis international Society (ASAS) classification criteria for axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) have added nonradiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA) to the classic ankylosing spondylitis (AS) as defined by the modified New York criteria. However, some confusion remains about differences between classification and diagnosis of axSpA. Our objective was to analyze differences between classification and diagnostic criteria by discussing each feature of the classification criteria based on real cases.Methods.The clinical features of the ASAS classification criteria were evaluated in relation to their significance for an expert diagnosis of axSpA. Twenty cases referred to our tertiary center outpatient clinic were selected because of an incorrect diagnosis of axSpA: 10 cases in which axSpA had been excluded initially because the classification criteria were not fulfilled, and 10 patients who had been previously diagnosed with axSpA because the classification criteria were fulfilled. Upon reevaluation, the former were diagnosed with axSpA while the latter had other diseases.Results.All items that are part of the classification criteria show some variability related to their relevance for a diagnosis of axSpA. There are clinical features suggestive of axSpA that are not part of the classification criteria. Misinterpretation of imaging procedures contributed to false-positive results. Rarely, other diseases may mimic axSpA.Conclusion.Because the sensitivity and specificity of the axSpA classification criteria have been around 80% in clinical trials, some false-positive and false-negative cases were expected. It is hoped that their detailed description and discussion will help to increase the understanding of diagnosing axSpA in relation to the ASAS classification criteria.

Abstract
The articular involvement in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases is included in the group of immune-mediated extra-intestinal manifestations, occurring approximately in a range from 6.2–36% of the patients. This group is also made up of the skin and eyes manifestations, that usually but not invariably are correlated with intestinal inflammatory disease activity. Rheumatic manifestations are the most frequent extra-intestinal findings of this group with a prevalence from 20–50%. They are divided into two different clinical subsets: peripheral and axial joint involvement (including sacroiliitis with or without spondylitis). Peripheral arthritis is the most frequent finding in both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, occurring with a frequency ranging from 17–20%, and it is more common in Crohn's disease. Axial involvement is more common in Crohn's disease (5–22%) than in ulcerative colitis (2–6%) and generally the prevalence of sacroiliitis (asymptomatic and symptomatic) is between 12–20% and of spondylitis is between 2–16%. The IBD is also associated with other rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren syndrome, Takayasu arteritis and fibromyalgia. The management of patients with EA requires an active cooperation between gastroenterologists and rheumatologists.
