Chem Biol Interact 2024; 398:111074. [PMID: 38844255 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2024.111074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is a first-line agent in both remission and maintenance therapy for ulcerative colitis (UC). However, the mucosal concentration of 5-ASA was significantly lower in patients with severe histological inflammation, which further led to a poor response to 5-ASA treatment. Our study aimed to clarify the mechanism of 5-ASA uptake into colonic epithelial cells and to further explore the reason for the decreased colonic mucosal 5-ASA concentration in UC patients. Our results demonstrated that the colonic 5-ASA concentration was notably reduced in DSS-induced colitis mice and inversely correlated with colonic inflammation. 5-ASA was not a substrate of carnitine/organic cation transporter 1/2 (OCTN1/2) or multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1), whereas organic anion transporting polypeptide 2B1 (OATP2B1) and sodium-coupled monocarboxylate transporter 1 (SMCT1) mediated the uptake of 5-ASA, with a greater contribution from OATP2B1 than SMCT1. Inhibitors and siRNAs targeting OATP2B1 significantly reduced 5-ASA absorption in colonic cell lines. Moreover, OATP2B1 expression was dramatically downregulated in colon tissues from UC patients and dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis mice, and was also negatively correlated with colonic inflammation. Mechanistically, mixed proinflammatory cytokines downregulated the expression of OATP2B1 in a time- and concentration-dependent manner through the hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 α (HNF4α) pathway. In conclusion, OATP2B1 was the pivotal transporter involved in colonic 5-ASA uptake, which indicated that inducing OATP2B1 expression may be a strategy to promote 5-ASA uptake and further improve the concentration and anti-inflammatory efficacy of 5-ASA in UC.

Abstract
Ferroptosis of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) had been identified as a key factor in the development of ulcerative colitis (UC). Therefore, targeted inhibition of ferroptosis may provide a new strategy for the treatment of UC. Isorhamnetin (ISO) was an O-methylated flavonol with therapeutic effects on a variety of diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders and tumors. However, the role and mechanism of ISO in ferroptosis and associated colitis were rarely investigated. In this study, we demonstrated that ISO could effectively alleviate intestinal inflammation by inhibiting ferroptosis of IECs in DSS-induced mice. Moreover, our results shown that ISO acted as a potent and common ferroptosis inhibitor in multiple human and murine cell lines. Mechanistically, ISO inhibited ferroptosis independent of its previously reported targets MEK1 and PI3K, but alleviated oxidative stress by targeting and activating NRF2. Furthermore, ISO could also directly chelate iron to hinder ferroptosis. In conclusion, our study indicated that ISO as a novel potential ferroptosis inhibitor, providing a promising therapeutic strategy for ferroptosis-related colitis.

Abstract
Background/Objectives: The treatment of patients with mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis (UC) is challenging. Although there are commonly used guidelines, therapy optimization is not standardized. We conducted a survey to investigate the management and treatment of patients with mild-to-moderate UC. Methods: Physicians with experience in treating inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) were invited to participate in an anonymous, multiple-choice survey between June and July 2023. The survey addressed various issues of patient care such as patient monitoring, treatment optimization, follow-up, treatment decision making, and therapy de-escalation. Results: The survey included 222 physicians (59.9% men; mean age = 50.4 years) from 66 countries worldwide. Gastroenterologists were the most represented specialists (89.6%), followed by surgeons (3.2%), and internal medicine doctors (2.7%). Two-thirds of the participants (66.7%) had >10 years of experience in the field of IBD. The combination of oral (≥4 g/day) and rectal 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) was the preferred choice when optimizing therapy. Budesonide MMX (41.8%) and systemic steroids (39.9%) were preferred in patients who failed 5-ASA. Treatment decisions were predominantly based on endoscopic (99.0%) or clinical (59.8%) activity. A significant percentage of clinicians did not optimize therapy in the case of increased fecal calprotectin alone (45.1%) or radiological/ultrasound activity (39.8%) alone. Conclusions: The guidelines for the management of mild-to-moderate UC are well accepted in clinical practice. Endoscopic remission remains the main therapeutic target, followed by clinical remission. Fecal calprotectin and intestinal ultrasound still elicit complaints from physicians.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is the first-line drug for the treatment of mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis (UC). Three oral sustained-release formulations are often used. However, no unified view of their actual use in routine medical practice has been presented to date. METHODS Using a health insurance claims database, we extracted patients with an initial diagnosis of mild-to-moderate UC during the period from December 1, 2017, to March 31, 2022. For the three types of oral 5-ASA formulation, we calculated and compared descriptive statistics of medication persistence rates (MPR), proportions of days covered (PDC), and adherence proportion (PDC ≥80%) in the extracted population. RESULTS An oral 5-ASA formulation was used in combination with a topical preparation (cohort 1) in 899 patients, and oral 5-ASA was used alone (cohort 2) in 1,829 patients. In cohort 1, MPR at days 151-180 with concomitant use of topical formulation was significantly higher for the Multi Matrix System™ (MMX) formulation (65.2%) compared with that for pH-dependent formulation (51.7%, p < 0.025), while MPR tended to be higher for MMX than for the time-dependent formulation (56.4%, not significant). During days 151-180 after starting the oral formulation, MPR for MMX (66.7% and 65.8%) was higher than for pH-dependent (55.9% and 55.3%) and time-dependent (57.6% and 55.9%) formulations in cohorts 1 + 2 and 2, respectively. In cohort 1, there was a significant difference between MMX (68.3%) and pH-dependent (57.1%) formulations, but no significant difference was seen with time-dependent formulations (61.8%). In terms of the proportion of adherence until day 180, MMX was significantly better than the other formulations. CONCLUSION The analyses of the three oral 5-ASA formulations suggested that both MPR and medication adherence were better for the MMX formulation than for time-dependent or pH-dependent formulations.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic gastrointestinal disease that can be managed with 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), the standard treatment for UC. However, the effectiveness of 5-ASA is not always optimal. Our study revealed that despite 5-ASA treatment, cells continued to experience excessive ferroptosis, which may hinder mucosal healing in UC and limit the success of this treatment approach in achieving disease remission. We found that combining 5-ASA with the ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1 led to a significant inhibition of ferroptosis in macrophages present in the colon tissue, along with an increase in the proportion of M2 macrophages, suggesting that targeting ferroptosis in M2 macrophages could be a potential therapeutic strategy for alleviating UC. Our study also demonstrated that M2 macrophages are more susceptible to ferroptosis compared to M1 macrophages, and this susceptibility is associated with the activated arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism pathway mediated by ERK-cPLA2-ACSL4. Additionally, we found that the expression of cPLA2 gene pla2g4a was increased in the colon of UC patients compared to healthy controls. Furthermore, targeted metabolomics analysis revealed that the combination treatment group, as opposed to the 5-ASA treatment group, exhibited the ability to modulate AA metabolism. Overall, our findings emphasize the importance of addressing macrophage ferroptosis in order to enhance macrophage anti-inflammation, improve mucosal healing, and achieve better therapeutic outcomes for patients with UC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare, benign inflammatory breast disease. Corticosteroids and surgery are the primary treatment options, and a growing number of publications have shown the effectiveness of local steroid administration (intralesional injection and topical corticosteroids). However, less is known about the specific details and effects of this treatment approach. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to summarize the details and evaluate the efficacy of local steroid administration for IGM. METHODS The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and SinoMed databases were systematically searched from inception to July 2023 to identify relevant randomized controlled trials. The quality of the included studies was assessed, and meta-analysis and subgroup analysis were conducted to obtain the pooled effect sizes of the outcomes of interest. RESULTS Eight trials comprising 613 patients were included. Local steroid administration included intralesional injection and topical steroid ointment, and control groups were mainly given systemic therapy (oral steroid) and surgical treatment. The meta-analysis showed that local steroid administration had a significant effect on the response rate (risk ratio [RR] = 1.35, 95% CI = [1.14-1.59], P = 0.0004). The incidence of side effects was also lower than that of systemic treatment (RR = 0.24, 95% CI = [0.13-0.43], P<0.0001). There was no difference in the recurrence rate (RR = 0.8, 95% CI = [1.42-1.51], P = 0.48). CONCLUSIONS Local steroid administration can increase the RR and decrease the incidence of side effects for IGM patients. There is no significant difference in the recurrence rate between the local steroid administration group and the control group. Further studies are needed to identify the effect in different stages and among pregnant women.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with a significant health-care burden worldwide. While medical therapy aims to induce and maintain remission, optimal management of mild to moderate UC remains challenging due to heterogeneity in severity classifications and non-standardized approaches. This comprehensive review summarizes current evidence and knowledge gaps to optimize clinical decision-making in patients with mild to moderate UC. AREAS COVERED After an extensive literature search of PubMed, Medline, and Embase through August 2023, we provide an overview of definitions utilized to characterize mild to moderate UC severity and established therapeutic targets. Current medical treatments including mesalazine formulations, corticosteroids, and their combinations are surveyed. The role of emerging intestinal ultrasound, telemedicine, and home testing is explored. Individualized, patient-centered paradigms aiming to streamline care delivery through proactive identification of relapses are also examined. EXPERT OPINION Addressing inconsistencies in disease activity stratification will better align tailored regimens with each patient's profile. Advancing noninvasive technologies like ultrasound criteria and home testing could improve UC management by enabling personalized models. Realizing individualized plans through informed shared-decision making between health-care providers and fully engaged patients holds promise to maximize quality of life outcomes. Continuous improvement relies on innovation bridging different domains to overcome current limitations and push the field toward more predictive and tailored care.

Abstract
For decades, the therapeutic goal of conventional treatment among inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients is alleviating exacerbations in acute phase, maintaining remission, reducing recurrence, preventing complications, and increasing quality of life. However, the persistent mucosal/submucosal inflammation tends to cause irreversible changes in the intestinal structure, which can barely be redressed by conventional treatment. In the late 1990s, monoclonal biologics, mainly anti-TNF (tumor necrosis factor) drugs, were proven significantly helpful in inhibiting mucosal inflammation and improving prognosis in clinical trials. Meanwhile, mucosal healing (MH), as a key endoscopic and histological measurement closely associated with the severity of symptoms, has been proposed as primary outcome measures. With deeper comprehension of the mucosal microenvironment, stem cell niche, and underlying mucosal repair mechanisms, diverse potential strategies apart from monoclonal antibodies have been arising or undergoing clinical trials. Herein, we elucidate key steps or targets during the course of MH and review some promising treatment strategies capable of promoting MH in IBD.

Abstract
The prevalence and incidence of Ulcerative Colitis (UC), a recurrent and remitting inflammatory condition, are rising. Any part of the colon may be affected, beginning with inflammation of the mucosa in the rectum and continuing proximally continuously. Bloody diarrhea, tenesmus, fecal urgency, and stomach pain are typical presenting symptoms. Many patients present with extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) including musculoskeletal, ocular, renal, hepatobiliary, and dermatological presentation, among others. Most cases are treated with pharmacological therapy including mesalazine and glucocorticoids. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a novel procedure that is increasingly being used to treat UC, however, its use yet remains controversial because of uncertain efficacy. FMT can lower gut permeability and consequently disease severity by boosting short-chain fatty acids production, helping in epithelial barrier integrity preservation. Upadacitinib (JAK Kinase inhibitor) is another newer treatment option, which is an FDA-approved drug that is being used to treat UC. This review article provides a comprehensive review of the EIMs of UC, the role of FMT along with various recent clinical trials pertaining to FMT as well as other diagnostic and therapeutic updates.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex heterogeneous disorder defined by recurring chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, attributed to a combination of factors including genetic susceptibility, altered immune response, a shift in microbial composition/microbial insults (infection/exposure), and environmental influences. Therapeutics generally used to treat IBD mainly focus on the immune response and include non-specific anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive therapeutics and targeted therapeutics aimed at specific components of the immune system. Other therapies include exclusive enteral nutrition and emerging stem cell therapies. However, in recent years, scientists have begun to examine the interplay between these therapeutics and the gut microbiome, and we present this information here. Many of these therapeutics are associated with alterations to gut microbiome composition and functionality, often driving it toward a "healthier profile" and preclinical studies have revealed that such alterations can play an important role in therapeutic efficacy. The gut microbiome can also improve or hinder IBD therapeutic efficacy or generate undesirable metabolites. For certain IBD therapeutics, the microbiome composition, particularly before treatment, may serve as a biomarker of therapeutic efficacy. Utilising this information and manipulating the interactions between the gut microbiome and IBD therapeutics may enhance treatment outcomes in the future and bring about new opportunities for personalised, precision medicine.

Abstract
Oral antioxidant nanozymes bring great promise for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatment. To efficiently eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS), various metal-based nanozymes have been developed for the treatment of IBD but their practical applications are seriously impaired by unstable ROS-eliminating properties and potential metal ion leakage in the digestive tract. Here, the authors for the first time propose metal-free melanin nanozymes (MeNPs) with excellent gastrointestinal stability and biocompatibility as a favorable therapy strategy for IBD. Moreover, MeNPs have extremely excellent natural and long-lasting characteristics of targeting IBD lesions. In view of the dominant role of ROS in IBD, the authors further reveal that oral administration of MeNPs can greatly alleviate the six major pathological features of IBD: oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, apoptosis, inflammation, gut barrier disruption, and gut dysbiosis. Overall, this strategy highlights the great clinical application prospects of metal-free MeNPs via harnessing ROS scavenging at IBD lesions, offering a paradigm for antioxidant nanozyme in IBD or other inflammatory diseases.

Vedolizumab is superior to infliximab in biologic naïve patients with ulcerative colitis. Sci Rep 2023; 13:1816.

Abstract
There are no prospective, head-to-head, controlled trials comparing the efficacy and safety of Infliximab (IFX) and Vedolizumab (VDZ) for the treatment of moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC), while only a few real-life retrospective studies have been published so far. We assessed the efficacy of IFX vs. VDZ in two cohorts of biologic-naïve outpatients with moderate-to-severe UC or mild, but refractory, disease. Data were extracted from patients' files and reviewed. The duration of follow-up (FU) was 52 weeks. The primary endpoint was the clinical remission (CR) at the end of FU. Secondary endpoints were: drug persistency, time to obtain CR, clinical response at the end of the induction phase (IP), steroid-free CR (compared to patients who used steroids at baseline) at the end of FU, need for drug optimization, adverse events (AEs), and normalization of C-reactive protein (CRP). We also analyzed the causes of dropping out (primary non-response), or secondary loss of response (immunogenic or not), for each group. We enrolled 82 patients (50 IFX and 32 VDZ) who met the inclusion criteria. At the end of FU, CR was obtained in 32% of the patients on IFX and 75% on VDZ (p = 0.0003). Drug persistency was superior for VDZ compared to IFX (78% vs. 52%, p = 0.033). Clinical response at the end of induction was reached in 54% and in 81% in the IFX and VDZ group, respectively (p = 0.014). Steroid-free clinical remission at the end of FU was 62% and 94% in the IFX vs. VDZ group, respectively (p = 0.036). The need for drug optimization was higher for VDZ than for IFX (28% vs. 57%, p = 0.009), while the time to obtain CR, the incidence of AEs, mean duration of FU, and rate of CRP normalization at the end of IP were comparable between the two groups. There was a prevalence of patients dropping out because of primary non-response in IFX group (p = 0.027), while the incidence of secondary loss of response was similar in the two groups. At the multivariate analysis, CRP and Partial Mayo Score (PMS) at T0 did not correlate with CR at the end of FU in both groups. In this retrospective, real world data study in biologic-naïve patients, VDZ was superior to IFX in CR, clinical response rate at the end of IP, drug persistency, steroid-free remission, and need for optimization at the end of FU.

Abstract
Several new treatments for ulcerative colitis have been developed recently. The depletion of leukocytes by granulocyte and monocyte adsorption apheresis (GMA) was developed and adapted for patients with ulcerative colitis with rare adverse events. We investigated whether treatment with GMA and prednisolone (GMA + PSL) is more effective than PSL alone for patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. Forty-seven patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 47 patients, 27 received PSL, while 20 received GMA + PSL. The clinical activity of ulcerative colitis was evaluated using the Lichtiger clinical activity index (CAI) and serum levels of C-reactive protein. Mayo endoscopic score (MES) was used to examine endoscopic activity. The clinical remission rate was significantly higher in the GMA + PSL group than in the PSL group (65% vs 29.6%, p = 0.0206). The mucosal healing rate was also significantly higher in the GMA + PSL group than in the PSL group (60% vs 26%, p = 0.0343). The combination of GMA and steroids may be more effective than steroids alone for inducing clinical remission and mucosal healing in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.

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
Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic and debilitating inflammatory bowel disease that impairs quality of life. Cuproptosis, a recently discovered form of cell death, has been linked to many inflammatory diseases, including UC. This study aimed to examine the biological and clinical significance of cuproptosis-related genes in UC. Methods Three gene expression profiles of UC were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to form the combined dataset. Differential analysis was performed based on the combined dataset to identify differentially expressed genes, which were intersected with cuproptosis-related genes to obtain differentially expressed cuproptosis-related genes (DECRGs). Machine learning was conducted based on DECRGs to identify signature genes. The prediction model of UC was established using signature genes, and the molecular subtypes related to cuproptosis of UC were identified. Functional enrichment analysis and immune infiltration analysis were used to evaluate the biological characteristics and immune infiltration landscape of signature genes and molecular subtypes. Results Seven signature genes (ABCB1, AQP1, BACE1, CA3, COX5A, DAPK2, and LDHD) were identified through the machine learning algorithms, and the nomogram built from these genes had excellent predictive performance. The 298 UC samples were divided into two subtypes through consensus cluster analysis. The results of the functional enrichment analysis and immune infiltration analysis revealed significant differences in gene expression patterns, biological functions, and enrichment pathways between the cuproptosis-related molecular subtypes of UC. The immune infiltration analysis also showed that the immune cell infiltration in cluster A was significantly higher than that of cluster B, and six of the characteristic genes (excluding BACE1) had higher expression levels in subtype B than in subtype A. Conclusions This study identified several promising signature genes and developed a nomogram with strong predictive capabilities. The identification of distinct subtypes of UC enhances our current understanding of UC's underlying pathogenesis and provides a foundation for personalized diagnosis and treatment in the future.

Clinical significance and long-term prognosis of ulcerative colitis patients with appendiceal orifice inflammation. BMC Gastroenterol 2022; 22:532.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Appendiceal orifice inflammation (AOI) or peri-appendiceal red patch is a skip lesion with segments of continuous colitis from the rectum. Frequently observed in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, this lesion might be associated with proximal extension in some studies. However, the clinical significance of this lesion and long-term outcomes including therapy remain unclear. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical implication of AOI during long-term periods in patients with UC. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 376 patients with UC who performed complete colonoscopic examinations between April 2000 and December 2020. We compared clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients manifesting AOI with those who did not show AOI during a mean follow-up period of 66.1 months. Long-term outcomes included maximal extent of colitis, proximal extension, therapeutic medical histories, UC-related hospitalization, and relapse. RESULTS Ninety-eight (26.1%) patients showed AOI without evidence of inflammation in the right colon. Mild disease activity at the diagnosis of UC was more included in patients with AOI than in those without AOI. Other baseline characteristics including disease extent, smoking history, external intestinal manifestation, and terminal ileal ulceration were not significantly different between the two groups. During follow-up periods, patients with and without AOI showed no significant difference in proximal extension, Mayo endoscopic score at the last endoscopic examination, UC-related hospitalization, or relapse. Of medication history, patients with AOI were less included in the group treated with high-dose aminosalicylates than those without AOI. However, therapeutic histories of steroids, immunosuppressive agents, and biologics were not significantly different. Of 62 patients with AOI who underwent follow-up colonoscopy, 36 (58.1%) showed resolution of AOI. Clinical outcomes of the resolution group were not different than those of the non-resolution group. Biopsy results of 77 patients with AOI showed chronic active or erosive colitis. CONCLUSIONS Long-term outcomes of UC patients with AOI were not different from those without AOI. Outcomes of resolution and non-resolution groups of AOI patients were not different either. Thus, AOI might have no prognostic implication in distal UC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Distal ulcerative colitis (UC) is responsible for distressing symptoms and reduces quality of life (QoL). Oral and topical formulations of 5-amino-salicylic acid are the first line therapy for mild to moderate distal UC. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to evaluate the impact of mesalazine treatment for mild to moderate ulcerative proctitis and proctosigmoiditis on patient QoL. METHODS Ninety-three patients with mild to moderate ulcerative proctitis and proctosigmoiditis, initiating a treatment with Pentasa, were prospectively included. The primary endpoint was the change from baseline to W8 in patient health-related QoL (HRQoL) as measured by the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ) total score. RESULTS More than 80% of patients were prescribed with a rectal formulation, either alone (47.9%) or with an oral formulation (35.1%), and 17.0% of patients were prescribed oral formulation alone. Mean SIBDQ score was improved at W8 in patients affected with mild and moderate disease ( P < 0.001 versus baseline in both groups, as well as in patients who achieved clinical remission ( P < 0.001). Patients who achieved clinical remission at W8 reached a mean change of +6.7 (±7.1), whereas those who did not achieve clinical remission had a mean change of +1.1 (±8.9). Seventy-five per cent of patients had an improvement of their disability index at W8. Fecal incontinence was also improved at W8. CONCLUSION HRQoL measuring with the SIBDQ is proportionally related to disease activity in patients with distal UC treated with mesalazine.

[PMID: 36186201 PMCID: PMC9516903 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v10.i27.9750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2022] [Revised: 03/25/2022] [Accepted: 08/17/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are well documented, myocarditis has only rarely been reported as an extraintestinal manifestation, and it can be fatal. The various clinical presentations and causes of myocarditis in IBD patients complicate making a correct and timely diagnosis.
CASE SUMMARY Here we report a 15-year-old boy who presented with myocarditis as the initial presentation of a relapse of ulcerative colitis. In reviewing the literature for cases of myocarditis complicating IBD, we found 21 other cases, allowing us to expand our understanding of the clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of this rare condition. The most frequent diagnostic clues for myocarditis in IBD patients are dyspnea, chest pain, tachycardia, raised cardiac biomarkers, and abnormalities on trans-thoracic echocardiography. Additionally, we discuss the etiology of myocarditis in IBD patients, which include an extraintestinal manifestation, the adverse effects of mesalamine and infliximab, selenium deficiency, and infection, to help provide a framework for diagnosis and management.
CONCLUSION Myocarditis as an extraintestinal manifestation of IBD can be life-threatening. Trans-thoracic echocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance may assist its diagnosis.

Cell Mol Life Sci 2022; 79:460.

Abstract
Colitis develops via the convergence of environmental, microbial, immunological, and genetic factors. The medicine 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is widely used in clinical practice for colitis (especially ulcerative colitis) treatment. However, the significance of gut microbiota in the protective effect of 5-ASA on colitis has not been explored. Using a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mouse model, we found that 5-ASA ameliorated colitis symptoms in DSS-treated mice, accompanied by increased body weight gain and colon length, and a decrease in disease activity index (DAI) score and spleen index. Also, 5-ASA alleviated DSS-induced damage to colonic tissues, as indicated by suppressed inflammation and decreased tight junction, mucin, and water-sodium transport protein levels. Moreover, the 16S rDNA gene sequencing results illustrated that 5-ASA reshaped the disordered gut microbiota community structure in DSS-treated mice by promoting the abundance of Bifidobacterium, Lachnoclostridium, and Anaerotruncus, and reducing the content of Alloprevotella and Desulfovibrio. Furthermore, 5-ASA improved the abnormal metabolism of bile acids (BAs) by regulating the Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and Takeda G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) signaling pathways in DSS-treated mice. In contrast, 5-ASA did not prevent the occurrence of colitis in mice with gut microbiota depletion, confirming the essential role of gut microbiota in colitis treatment by 5-ASA. In conclusion, 5-ASA can ameliorate DSS-induced colitis in mice by modulating gut microbiota and bile acid metabolism. These findings documented the new therapeutic mechanisms of 5-ASA in clinical colitis treatment.

A novel fluorescent probe for real-time imaging of thionitrous acid under inflammatory and oxidative conditions. Redox Biol 2022; 54:102372. [PMID: 35728302 PMCID: PMC9214870 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2022.102372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2022] [Revised: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Thionitrous acid (HSNO), a crosstalk intermediate of two crucial gasotransmitters nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide, plays a critical role in redox regulation of cellular signaling and functions. However, real-time and facile detection of HSNO with high selectivity and sensitivity remains highly challenging. Herein we report a novel fluorescent probe (SNP-1) for HSNO detection. SNP-1 has a simple molecular structure, but showing strong fluorescence, a low detection limit, a broad linear detection range (from nanomolar to micromolar concentrations), ultrasensitivity, and high selectivity for HSNO in both aqueous media and cells. Benefiting from these unique features, SNP-1 could effectively visualize changes of HSNO levels in mouse models of acute ulcerative colitis and renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Moreover, the good correlation between colonic HSNO levels and disease activity index demonstrated that HSNO is a promising new diagnostic agent for acute ulcerative colitis. Therefore, SNP-1 can serve as a useful fluorescent probe for precision detection of HSNO in various biological systems, thereby facilitating mechanistic studies, therapeutic assessment, and high-content drug screening for corresponding diseases. HSNO was the preferred intermediate to study crosstalk between H2S and NO. HSNO displayed translational potential for diagnosis and assessment of diseases. SNP-1 displayed excellent fluorescence performance for HSNO detection. SNP-1 could effectively image HSNO in cells and mouse models.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Curcumin, an active polyphenol extracted from Traditional Chinese medicine Curcuma longa (turmeric), has shown many health-related benefits and pharmacological effects. Adjuvant curcumin therapy for ulcerative colitis has become increasingly popular, but its efficacy and safety of which is still controversial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjuvant curcumin therapy in ulcerative colitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Medline, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, WanFang, and SinoMed databases were searched from inception to June 2021, to identify all randomized controlled clinical trials with adjuvant curcumin therapy in ulcerative colitis. The primary outcomes were clinical and endoscopic remission, and subgroup analyses were also performed. RESULTS Six randomized trials with a total of 385 participants were included in this study. Qualified trials recommended that adjuvant curcumin therapy for ulcerative colitis was effective in inducing clinical remission (RR = 2.10, 95% CI 1.13 to 3.89), but not in clinical improvement (RR = 1.62, 95% CI 1.00 to 2.61), endoscopic remission (RR = 4.17, 95% CI 0.63 to 27.71) or endoscopic improvement (RR = 4.13, 95% CI 0.20 to 87.07). Included studies showed that appropriate dosage, formation, longer duration, and topical medication may have a greater potential advantage. No severe adverse effects had been reported. CONCLUSIONS Available evidence suggested that adjuvant curcumin therapy may be effective for clinical remission in ulcerative colitis patients without causing severe adverse effects. The appropriate methods of administration can achieve better curative effect, which requires further study to verify.

Abstract
The main goals of Ulcerative Colitis (UC) treatment are to both induce and maintain the clinical and endoscopic remission of disease, reduce the incidence of complications such as dysplasia and colorectal carcinoma and improve quality of life. Although a curative medical treatment for UC has not yet been found, new therapeutic strategies addressing specific pathogenetic mechanisms of disease are emerging. Notwithstanding these novel therapies, non-biological conventional drugs remain a mainstay of treatment. The aim of this review is to summarize current therapeutic strategies used as treatment for ulcerative colitis and to briefly focus on emerging therapeutic strategies, including novel biologic therapies and small molecules. To date, multiple therapeutic approaches can be adopted in UC and the range of available compounds is constantly increasing. In this era, the realization of well-designed comparative clinical trials, as well as the definition of specific therapeutic models, would be strongly suggested in order to achieve personalized management for UC patients.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common complications in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Curcumin has a wide range of bioactive and pharmacological properties and is commonly used as an adjunct to the treatment of UC and DM. However, the role of curcumin in UC complicated by DM has not been elucidated. Therefore, this study was conducted to construct a model of UC complicating diabetes by inducing UC in DB mice (spontaneously diabetic) with dextran sodium sulfate. In this study, curcumin (100 mg/kg/day) significantly improved the symptoms of diabetes complicated by UC, with a lower insulin level, heavier weight, longer and lighter colons, fewer mucosal ulcers and less inflammatory cell infiltration. Moreover, compared to untreated DB mice with colitis, curcumin‐treated mice showed weaker Th17 responses and stronger Treg responses. In addition, curcumin regulated the diversity and relative abundance of intestinal microbiota in mice with UC complicated by DM at the phylum, class, order, family and genus levels. Collectively, curcumin effectively alleviated colitis in mice with type 2 diabetes mellitus by restoring the homeostasis of Th17/Treg and improving the composition of the intestinal microbiota

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are exposed to drug-related nephrotoxicity and kidney-related extra-intestinal manifestations (EIMs). Patients should be monitored but guidance is lacking in current international recommendations. The objective of the Kidney Function Monitoring in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (MONITORED) initiative was to achieve an expert consensus about monitoring kidney function in IBD. METHODS A literature review was first conducted. Then, an expert consensus meeting, involving 28 attendees representing French-speaking gastroenterologists and nephrologists, was held as part of an academic initiative on May 28, 2021. An anonymous Delphi process was used to discuss and vote on statements. Agreement was defined as at least 75% of participants voting for any one statement. RESULTS Experts reached consensus on 11 criteria for referral to the nephrologist. Concerning kidney function monitoring, participants unanimously validated the use of serum creatinine with estimation of the glomerular filtration rate via the MDRD or CKD-EPI equations. A blood ionogram and a urine sample with measurement of a protein-to-creatinine ratio were also broadly agreed validated. Experts recommended performing this monitoring at IBD diagnosis, prior introducing a new treatment, and annually for EIMs screening and evaluation of treatment tolerance. An evaluation 3 months after starting mesalamine and then every 6 months was felt necessary, while for biologics an annually monitoring was deemed sufficient. CONCLUSION The MONITORED consensus proposed guidelines on how to monitor kidney function in IBD. These recommendations should be considered in clinical practice to preserve kidney function and ensure the best approach to our patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The long-term outcomes of paediatric-onset inflammatory bowel disease [pIBD] in non-Caucasian populations are unknown. We therefore evaluated and compared the clinical features and long-term outcomes of pIBD with those of adult-onset IBD [aIBD] using a population-based cohort in the Songpa-Kangdong district of Seoul, Korea. METHODS Clinical characteristics and prognoses were compared between the two groups: pIBD [defined as <18 years of age at diagnosis] and aIBD [18-59 years of age at diagnosis]. RESULTS We identified 131 patients with pIBD (48 ulcerative colitis [UC], 83 Crohn's disease [CD]) and 1192 patients with aIBD [866 UC, 326 CD] during 1986-2015. Extensive colitis at diagnosis was more prevalent in pUC than in aUC [45.8% vs 22.3%, p < 0.001], and the overall exposure to corticosteroids, thiopurines and anti-tumour necrosis factor agents was higher in pUC than in aUC [p < 0.001]. The cumulative risk of colectomy was higher in pUC than in aUC during a median follow-up of 125.0 and 112.1 months, respectively [8.9% vs 1.8% at 10 years after diagnosis, p = 0.030]. Ileocolonic location and inflammatory behaviour at diagnosis were more common in pCD than in aCD; however, patients with pCD and aCD did not differ regarding treatment or disease course during a median follow-up of 137.2 and 120.9 months, respectively. CONCLUSION Our study showed clear differences between pIBD and aIBD, especially in UC. pUC presents with more extensive diseases and may have a more severe disease course, as suggested by an earlier time to administering medications and performing colectomy.

[PMID: 35082846 PMCID: PMC8786549 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9872230] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2021] [Revised: 12/10/2021] [Accepted: 01/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Background A substantial percentage of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) have irritable bowel syndrome- (IBS-) like symptoms despite adequate treatment and endoscopic remission. In this study, we evaluated the clinical efficacy of probiotic therapy for residual IBS-like symptoms in patients with UC in endoscopic remission. Methods We conducted a multicenter, observational study between April 2018 and December 2020 across two university hospitals in Korea. Patients with UC whose IBS-like symptoms persisted during endoscopic remission were included in this study. Endoscopic remission was defined as a Mayo endoscopic score ≤ 1, and IBS-like symptoms were defined as those meeting the ROME-IV diagnostic criteria. A Biotop capsule® (Lactobacillus acidophilus, 75 mg; Clostridium butyricum TO-A, 25 mg; Bacillus mesentericus TO-A, 25 mg; and Streptococcus faecalis T-110, 5 mg) was administered three times daily for one month. All patients completed bowel-related symptom questionnaires and short inflammatory bowel disease questionnaires (SIBDQs) at the start and end of the 4-week treatment period. Results A total of 43 patients were enrolled and analyzed. Statistically significant improvements from baseline were observed at the end of the 4-week treatment. The total SIBDQ score improved from 50.6 to 53.6 (P = 0.005). SIBDQ scores of bowel function (P = 0.018), systemic function (P = 0.040), and social function (P = 0.005) improved. Stool frequency and Bristol stool scale scores improved after probiotic therapy (P < 0.05). Conclusion This study showed that probiotic administration improved bowel-related symptoms and quality of life in patients with UC whose IBS-like symptoms persisted during endoscopic remission. As this is an observational study and has no placebo-controlled arm, further prospective randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
Oral gene therapy has emerged as a potential optimal treatment for ulcerative colitis (UC). Nucleic acid drugs possessing versatility can not only inhibit inflammation but realize colon mucosal healing, fulfilling the clinical objective of UC therapy. However, the effective accumulation and distribution of oral nucleic acid drugs in the colon remain a considerable challenge. Furthermore, current delivery systems pay more attention to the accumulation of nucleic acid drugs in the colon, while the distribution of nucleic acid drugs in the colon, which plays a key role in the UC treatment, never catches the attention of researchers. Here, we used miR-320 as a model nucleic acid drug to develop a kind of multistage-responsive nanocomplexes (MSNs) based on polymeric nanocapsules and alginate. MSNs possess the pH responsiveness in the stomach, the enzyme responsiveness in the colonic lumen, and the redox responsiveness in the cytoplasm. In vivo imaging results showed that MSNs reach the colon within 2 h and effectively release miR-320 nanocapsules in the colonic lumen. The nanocapsules can further deliver miR-320 to the submucosal layer and even the muscular layer. Moreover, MSNs decreased the activity of myeloperoxidase and proinflammatory cytokines and exhibited anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the phosphorylation of IκBα and AKT, reducing colonic inflammation and enhancing mucosal repair. Therefore, MSNs can successfully alleviate UC by improving the accumulation and distribution of oral nucleic acid drugs in the colon, promoting the clinical translational application of nucleic acid drugs in the treatment of UC.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an immune-related disorder with enhanced prevalence globally. Early diagnosis is critical for the effective treatment of UC. However, it still lacks specific diagnostic signatures. The aim of our study was to explore efficient signatures and construct the diagnostic model for UC. Microarray data of GSE87473 and GSE48634, which were obtained from tissue biopsy samples, were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and differently expressed genes (DEGs), GO, and KEGG analyses were performed. We constructed the PPI network via STRING database. The immune infiltration of the samples was evaluated using CIBERSORT methods combined with the LM22 feature matrix. The logistic regression model was constructed, with the expression of selected genes as the predictor variable, and the UC occurrence as the responsive variable. As a result, a total of 126 DEGs between the UC patients and normal counterparts were identified. The GO and KEGG analysis revealed that multiple biological processes, such as antimicrobial humoral immune response mediated by antimicrobial peptide and IL-17 signaling pathway, were enriched. The infiltration of eight immune cell types (B cells naive, Dendritic.cells.activated, Macrophages.M0, Macrophages.M2, Mast.cells.resting, Neutrophils, Plasma.cells, and T.cells.follicular.helper) was significantly different between patients with UC and normal counterparts. The top 50 most significant DEGs were selected for the construction of the PPI network. The average AUC of the logistic regression model in the fivefold cross-validation was 0.8497 in the training set, GSE87473. The AUC of another independent verification set of GSE48634 from the GEO database was 0.7208. In conclusion, we identified potential hub genes, including REG3A, REG1A, DEFA6, REG1B, and DEFA5, which might be significantly associated with UC progression. The logistic regression model based on the five genes could reliably diagnose UC patients.

Abstract
Objective: Due to its well-known anti-inflammatory property, oxymatrine (OMT) has received more attention on the aspect of treating ulcerative colitis. Although efforts have been undertaken to understand the therapeutic mechanism of OMT on ulcerative colitis (UC), the remedial principle is still ambiguous. Numerous studies have shown that TLR9/Myd88/NF-κB signal pathway played a key role in the pathogenesis of UC. Moreover, TLR9/Myd88/NF-κB signal pathway is a part of the most important pathways for regulating the immune response.Methods: We explored the influence of OMT with different dosages on UC by establishing a 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis model. Moreover, the participation of TLR9/Myd88/NF-κB signal pathway and whether OMT protects against UC though targeting this pathway are further studied.Results: Our data revealed that OMT could significantly relieve the symptom of TNBS-induced colitis in rats by reactivating the tight junction protein and, more important, by inhibiting the activation of TLR9/Myd88/NF-κB pathway and protein expression levels of its downstream inflammatory factors.Conclusion: OMT could relieve colitis in rat models by impacting tight junction proteins' TLR9/Myd88/NF-κB signal pathways and activity.

Abstract
Background Recently, decision-making process has become increasingly complex. But there is limited information on Chinese patients’ views of shared decision making (SDM) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This questionnaire investigation aimed to understand Chinese patients’ perspectives and expectations of SDM in IBD and analyze the possible factors that influence their views. Methods An online survey was conducted from July 19th to 24th, 2020. A total of 1118 patients completed the survey. Results One-third of patients were dissatisfied with the current decision-making model, and the satisfaction of inpatients was lower than that of outpatients. 84% of patients preferred to participate in SDM, who were young and had a high education level, high income, commercial insurance, strong learning ability and knowledge of SDM. Most of those who did not want to participate (72%) were worried about the cost. The kind of medicine (948, 84.8%), surgical indications (505, 45.2%) and operation methods (482, 43.1%) were the topics that patients thought most require SDM. Side effects of medicine (837, 74.9%), costs of therapy (675, 60.4%), and surgical risks (563, 50.4%) were considered to be the most influential factors for SDM. 52.7% of all patients hoped experts in different disciplines would participate in SDM. The most desirable amount of time for discussion was 30 to 60 min (562/1118, 50.3%), that were associated with the cost of SDM. Conclusion We can meet the needs of patients by reducing costs and strengthening online patient education and exploring a model suitable for Chinese IBD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A meta-analysis was conducted on the incidence of colon cancer in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between UC and colon cancer, and provide a theoretical guidance for clinical diagnoses and treatments of UC. METHODS Articles were searched in Chinese database with "ulcerative colitis", "UC", "colon cancer", "colorectal cancer", "incidence", and "meta-analysis" as the search terms. Articles were searched in English database with "ulcerative colitis", "UC", "colon cancer", "incidence rate", and "meta-analysis" as the search terms. Moreover, articles with the topic of "correlation between UC and colon cancer" were screened. The quality of articles was assessed using Rev Man 5.3 software provided by Cochrane system. RESULTS Eleven articles were included, most of which were of medium and high quality. Results of meta-analysis showed that 12,216 patients with UC were included in this study, and 110 patients developed colon cancer. There was statistical heterogeneity (Chi2=103.10, I2=90%, P<0.00001). Random-effect model analyses showed that there were no significant differences between colon cancer in patients with UC and those without colon cancer (Z=12.44, P<0.00001). A systematic review of articles found that the course and development of colon cancer in patients with UC might affect the occurrence of colon cancer. UC was a risk factor for colorectal cancer. DISCUSSION It was found that the course of disease and the occurrence and development of UC might affect the occurrence of colon cancer through a systematic review of articles. UC was one of the risk factors of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic nonspecific inflammatory disease of colon and rectum with unknown etiology, and the lesions are mainly confined to the mucosa and submucosa of large intestine. The main clinical features of UC include diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloody purulent stool and tenesmus, which seriously affect patients' quality of life. Most of UC patients would receive drug therapy with the exception of surgery for some severe cases. However, current drugs for the treatment of UC have certain limitations including difficulty of radical treatment, adverse reactions and drug resistance after long-term use and exorbitant price of some drugs. The research and development of new drugs for the treatment of UC is urgent, and natural alkaloids are an important source. This research paid close attention to the progress of natural alkaloids from diverse medicinal plants for treating UC in the last twenty years. The potential mechanisms for the natural alkaloids in the treatment of UC was closely related to its modulation of oxidative stress, immune response, intestinal flora and improvement of the gut barrier function. Remarkable effectiveness and safety of natural-derived alkaloids make them potential candidates of UC therapy.

Abstract
Background New therapeutic agents, including biologics and small-molecule drugs, are widely used to treat ulcerative colitis (UC). This study evaluates long-term prognosis in Japanese patients treated with these agents and the association between prognosis and genetic susceptibility to UC. Methods We evaluated surgery-free rates using the Kaplan-Meier method in the total cohort and in patients treated with prednisolone and new therapeutic agents. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify clinical factors affecting surgical rates using Cox's proportional hazard model. The rate of use of new therapeutic agents was compared using the Kaplan-Meier method, and multivariate analysis was conducted to investigate the correlation between the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs117506082 and long-term prognosis. Results Surgery-free survival decreased over time. There was no significant difference in this parameter between patients who were administered prednisolone and those who were administered new therapeutic agents. Poor response to prednisolone and treatment without topical 5-aminosalicylic acid were poor prognostic factors. Shorter time from diagnosis to initiation of treatment with new therapeutic agents was a risk factor for colectomy. The AA genotype of SNP rs117506082 was associated with a shorter time to surgery and increased use of new therapeutic agents. Conclusions The use of new therapeutic agents might improve long-term prognosis in patients with more severe UC. Previously identified genetic risk factors were not significantly associated with a higher rate of colectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines are published by international gastroenterology societies regarding the management of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) to help clinicians to provide high-quality patient care. We examined the guidelines for the quality and strength of evidence used to develop the recommendations, methods for grading evidence, differences in disease-specific recommendations, conflicts of interest, and plans for guideline updates. METHODS A systematic search was performed on PubMed using "ulcerative colitis," "Crohn's disease," and "guidelines" in April 2019. International gastroenterology society websites were searched for UC- and CD-specific guidelines. Guidelines from 12 societies were examined by two authors. Chi-squared tests were used for comparing evidence-level grades, strength of recommendations, and reported conflicts of interest. Linear-regression modeling was used to evaluate the relationship between the number of authors and the number of recommendations in a given guideline. RESULTS Of 28 guidelines reviewed, 25 (89%) used a total of three different systems to grade the level of evidence and 2 (7%) used an unknown system. Three (11%) reviewed guidelines did not provide a conflict-of-interest statement, while three (11%) provided a timeline for guideline updates. Of 1,265 total statements examined, 246 (19%) reported no grade of evidence quality or explicitly stated that the recommendation was based on "expert opinion." One hundred and thirty-five (22%) UC recommendations were noted to be "weak/conditional" and 95 (16%) did not have a recommendation strength. Two hundred and forty-two (37%) CD recommendations were noted to be "weak/conditional" and 151 (23%) did not have a recommendation strength. CONCLUSION The majority of UC and CD guidelines are based on a low/very low quality of evidence and are further weakened due to the lack of homogeneity in specific aspects of management recommendations as well as conflicts of interest.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Prevention of vaccine-preventable diseases is important in the care of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Thus, accurate immunization histories are critical. Many providers rely on patient self-report when assessing immunization status. The primary aim of our study was to determine the accuracy of self-reported influenza vaccination status in a cohort of patients with IBD. METHODS We conducted a prospective study of patients with IBD who answered a vaccination status questionnaire and compared their responses to the Wisconsin Immunization Registry, a state-wide electronic immunization information system. The primary outcome was the sensitivity and specificity of self-reported influenza vaccination status. A secondary outcome evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of pneumococcal vaccination status. RESULTS A total of 200 patients with IBD were included in the study. Documented immunization rates were 74.5% for influenza vaccinations and 79.9% for pneumococcal vaccinations. Influenza vaccination self-report had a sensitivity of 98.7%, a specificity of 90.2%, a positive predictive value (PPV) of 96.7% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 95.8%. In comparison, the sensitivity for pneumococcal vaccination was 83.5% with a specificity of 86.2%, PPV of 96.4%, and NPV of 54.3%. CONCLUSIONS Self-reported influenza immunization status is sensitive and specific in patients with IBD. Accuracy for pneumococcal vaccination is slightly lower, but responses were notable for a high PPV. Self-report is an effective way to determine influenza immunization status and provides useful information for receipt of pneumococcal vaccine in patients with IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM 5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) nephrotoxicity is a rare and idiosyncratic condition in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which may lead to end-stage kidney failure. Kidney function monitoring is recommended in clinical practice to prevent this complication. However, no data is available regarding the knowledge and adherence of patients with IBD to this monitoring. METHODS As a part of routine practice, patients with IBD under treatment or previously treated with 5-ASA were systematically interviewed about knowledge of 5-ASA nephrotoxicity and adherence to kidney function monitoring. We reported here the experience among the first 103 consecutive patients seen in a French referral center. RESULTS A total of 103 patients (93.2% ulcerative colitis, 5.8% Crohn's disease, and 1% unclassified colitis) were analyzed. Among them, 70% were informed about the need for kidney function monitoring, and in most cases, information was provided by their gastroenterologist (94.4%). The adherence rate to monitoring was very high (84.7%). Monitoring consisted of serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate in most cases (97.2%), while 24-h proteinuria was less frequently used (69.4%). These tests were performed twice or ≥3 times per year by 44.4 and 41.7% of patients, respectively. One case of isolated elevation of proteinuria related to 5-ASA treatment was observed. CONCLUSION We reported for the first time that patients with IBD are well informed and adherent to kidney function monitoring of treatment with 5-ASA. The monitoring performed by their treating physician was generally in accordance with current recommendations.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease incidence has been constantly rising for the past few decades. Current therapies attempt to mitigate its symptoms since no cure is established. The most commonly prescribed drug for these patients is 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA). Due to the low rate and seriousness of side effects compared to other therapies, 5-ASA is still largely prescribed in many stages of inflammatory bowel disease, including scenarios where evidence suggests low effectiveness. Although commercialized formulations have come a long way in improving pharmacokinetics, it is still necessary to design and develop novel delivery systems capable of increasing effectiveness at different stages of the disease. In particular, micro- and nano-sized particles might be the key to its success in Crohn's disease and in more serious disease stages. This review provides an overview on the clinical significance of 5-ASA formulations, its limitations, challenges, and the most recent micro- and nanoparticle delivery systems being designed for its controlled release. Emergent alternatives for 5-ASA are also discussed, as well as the future prospects for its application in inflammatory bowel disease therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 5-Aminosalicylates [5-ASAs] are the mainstay of treatment for ulcerative colitis [UC]. The optimum preparation, dose, and route of administration for UC remain unclear. We conducted a network meta-analysis to examine this issue. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, EMBASE Classic, and the Cochrane central register of controlled trials from inception to December 2020. We included randomised controlled trials [RCTs] comparing oral, topical, or combined oral and topical 5-ASAs, with each other or placebo for induction of remission or prevention of relapse of UC. Results were reported as pooled relative risks [RRs] with 95% confidence intervals [CIs] to summarise effect of each comparison tested, with treatments ranked according to P-score. RESULTS We identified 40 RCTs for induction of remission and 23 for prevention of relapse. Topical mesalazine [P-score 0.99], or oral and topical mesalazine combined [P-score 0.87] ranked first and second for clinical and endoscopic remission combined. Combined therapy ranked first in trials where ≥50% of patients had left-sided/extensive disease, and topical mesalazine first in trials where ≥50% of patients had proctitis/proctosigmoiditis. High-dose [≥3.3 g/day] oral mesalazine ranked third in most analyses, with the most trials and most patients. For relapse of disease activity, combined therapy and high-dose oral mesalazine ranked first and second, with topical mesalazine third. 5-ASAs were safe and well tolerated, regardless of regimen. CONCLUSIONS Our results support previous evidence; however, higher doses of oral mesalazine had more evidence for induction of remission than combined therapy and were significantly more efficacious than lower doses. Future RCTs should better establish the role of combined therapy for induction of remission, as well as optimal doses of oral 5-ASAs to prevent relapse.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adalimumab and golimumab are subcutaneously administered anti-tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) biologics used in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). To date, no studies have directly compared treatment patterns and healthcare resource utilization (HRU) among patients with UC receiving these therapies in a real-world setting. The objective of this study was to compare these outcomes among patients with UC treated with either adalimumab or golimumab using a US claims database. METHODS Patients with UC treated with golimumab or adalimumab were identified using the US Optum Clinformatics® Data Mart database. Outcomes of interest included treatment patterns (discontinuations, dose optimizations, persistence, and concomitant medication use) and HRU (outpatient office visits, emergency room [ER] visits, and inpatient stays). Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to account for differences in confounding variables between groups. RESULTS Overall, 990 patients were identified (golimumab: n = 277; adalimumab: n = 713). After PSM, 246 patients were included in each group. There were no significant differences between the adalimumab and golimumab groups over the full follow-up period in terms of treatment discontinuations (53.7% vs. 51.2%; P = 0.5881), dose optimizations (35.4% vs. 39.4%; P = 0.3515), or persistence (338.2 vs. 361.2 days; P = 0.4194). During the year after initiating therapy, there were no significant differences in concomitant immunosuppressant (21.9% vs. 21.7%; P = 0.9686) or corticosteroid use (74.7% vs. 78.8%; P = 0.3573) or in HRU outcomes including outpatient office visits (93.3% vs. 94.0%; P = 0.7660), ER visits (15.2% vs. 10.9%; P = 0.2238), and inpatient stays (15.2% vs. 13.6%; P = 0.6680). CONCLUSIONS In this nationwide PSM cohort study of patients with UC receiving golimumab or adalimumab, no significant differences were observed between groups for treatment patterns or HRU outcomes. High rates of concomitant corticosteroid use, treatment discontinuations, and HRU while on therapy highlight key unmet needs in the treatment of UC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The kidney function monitoring is recommended in routine practice to detect 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) related nephrotoxicity, although is not standardized. The optimal monitoring is unknown, especially the best timing and which tests to perform. We summarized why, how, and when to perform the monitoring for patients treated with 5-ASA and provided an overview of the current guidelines on this topic. METHOD Relevant studies on this topic were searched in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases from July to August 2020. RESULTS Serum creatinine, the estimated glomerular filtration rate, and 24-h proteinuria are the 3 main tests used for the monitoring in daily practice. Regarding the timing, several monitoring strategies have been proposed and guidelines are available too, but they provide conflicting information. To date, there is no medical evidence-based that one strategy is better than another. Comorbidities, chronic renal disease, use of nephrotoxic drugs or concomitant steroid therapy also impact the nephrotoxicity risk. Based on the literature review we proposed a kidney function monitoring strategy to guide physicians in clinical practice. CONCLUSION A baseline assessment should be performed in all patients treated with 5-ASA. The monitoring should be carried out according to the other nephrotoxic factors. A tight monitoring may reduce morbidity and mortality of drug nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein (LRG) may be a novel serum biomarker for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The association of LRG with the endoscopic activity and predictability of mucosal healing (MH) was determined and compared with those of C-reactive protein (CRP) and fecal markers (fecal immunochemical test [FIT] and fecal calprotectin [Fcal]) in 166 ulcerative colitis (UC) and 56 Crohn's disease (CD) patients. In UC, LRG was correlated with the endoscopic activity and could predict MH, but the performance was not superior to that of fecal markers (areas under the curve [AUCs] for predicting MH: LRG: 0.61, CRP: 0.59, FIT: 0.75, and Fcal: 0.72). In CD, the performance of LRG was equivalent to that of CRP and Fcal (AUCs for predicting MH: LRG: 0.82, CRP: 0.82, FIT: 0.70, and Fcal: 0.88). LRG was able to discriminate patients with MH from those with endoscopic activity among UC and CD patients with normal CRP levels. LRG was associated with endoscopic activity and could predict MH in both UC and CD patients. It may be particularly useful in CD.

Abstract
To investigate the effects of RNA-binding proteins cold-inducible RNA binding protein (CIRP) and human antigen R (HuR) on expression of Claudin1 and mucosal barrier function in ulcerative colitis (UC). The clinical specimens of UC patients and healthy volunteers were collected. In the clinical experiments, the expressions of CIRP, Claudin1, and HuR, along with their correlations in tissues of UC patients were analyzed by qRT-PCR, Western blot and Pearson correlation coefficient, respectively. The chi-square test was utilized to assess the relevance between CIRP/HuR/Claudin1 level and clinicopathological characteristics of UC patients. The in vitro and in vivo models of UC were established by lipopolysaccharide treatment or dextran sulfate sodium injection. For cell experiments, after loss- and gain-of-function, the roles of CIRP or HuR in the apoptosis and proliferation of enterocytes were examined by flow cytometry and CCK-8 assay. The intestinal epithelial barrier function was inspected after determination on transepithelial electrical resistance value, horseradish peroxidase permeability and expressions of tight junction proteins (Occludin, ZO-1, and JAM-1). The relationship between HuR, CIRP, and Claudin1 was performed by RNA immunoprecipitation and dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. For in vivo experiments, the disease activity index score, weight loss and colon length of mice were assessed to observe the effect of CIRP or HuR on the UC mouse models. Histological analysis of colon tissues was conducted by H&E staining. FITC-dextran tracking was applied to inspect the intestinal mucosal barrier function of UC mouse models. In this study, high expression of CIRP and low expressions of HuR and Claudin1 were observed in patients, cells and mouse models of UC. The expressions of CIRP, HuR, and Claudin1 were correlated with the severity of patients with UC. There was a negative correlation between CIRP and Claudin1, and as a positive correlation between HuR and Claudin1. Claudin1 can be suppressed by CIRP, while enhanced by HuR. HuR and CIRP can competitively bind to Claudin1. HuR upregulation or CIRP downregulation promoted proliferation, suppressed apoptosis and ameliorated the damage of the barrier function in enterocytes. The in vivo experiments verified that the ameliorated damage of the intestinal mucosal barrier function in UC mice occurred with HuR overexpression or CIRP knockdown. CIRP and HuR confer pivotal effect on the intestinal mucosal barrier function of UC through competitively binding to Claudin1 mRNA.

Abstract
(Poly)phenols (PPs) may have a therapeutic benefit in gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of this review is to summarise the evidence-base in this regard. Observational evidence does not give a clear indication that PP intake has a preventative role for IBD or IBS, while interventional studies suggest these compounds may confer symptomatic and health-related quality of life improvements in known patients. There are inconsistent results for effects on markers of inflammation, but there are promising reports of endoscopic improvement. Work on the effects of PPs on intestinal permeability and oxidative stress is limited and therefore conclusions cannot be formed. Future work on the use of PPs in IBD and IBS will strengthen the understanding of clinical and mechanistic effects.

Shao BZ, Yao Y, Zhai JS, Zhu JH, Li JP, Wu K. The Role of Autophagy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Front Physiol 2021; 12:621132. [PMID: 33633585 PMCID: PMC7902040 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2021.621132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2020] [Accepted: 01/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an idiopathic intestinal inflammatory disease, including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). The abnormality of inflammatory and immune responses in the intestine contributes to the pathogenesis and progression of IBD. Autophagy is a vital catabolic process in cells. Recent studies report that autophagy is highly involved in various kinds of diseases, especially inflammation-related diseases, such as IBD. In this review, the biological characteristics of autophagy and its role in IBD will be described and discussed based on recent literature. In addition, several therapies for IBD through modulating the inflammasome and intestinal microbiota taking advantage of autophagy regulation will be introduced. We aim to bring new insight in the exploration of mechanisms for IBD and development of novel therapeutic strategies against IBD.

Multicenter survey on mesalamine intolerance in patients with ulcerative colitis. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2021; 36:137-143. [PMID: 32525567 DOI: 10.1111/jgh.15138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2020] [Revised: 05/27/2020] [Accepted: 06/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Although oral mesalamine is the first-choice drug for treating mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis (UC), some patients show symptoms of intolerance, including exacerbation of diarrhea and abdominal pain. The present study clarified the current state and clinical courses of patients with mesalamine intolerance. METHODS Patients who were diagnosed with UC and administered oral mesalamine at eight hospitals in Japan with a follow-up period exceeding 1 year were analyzed. RESULTS Sixty-seven (11%) of 633 patients showed intolerance to at least one formulation of oral mesalamine. The frequency of mesalamine intolerance has increased in recent years, rising from 5.3% in 2007-2010 to 9.1% in 2011-2013 and 16.2% in 2014-2016. The most common complications were the exacerbation of diarrhea (n = 29), a fever (n = 25), and abdominal pain (n = 22). Readministration of mesalamine/sulfasalazine was attempted in 43 patients, mostly with other types of formulation of mesalamine, and more than half of these patients proved to be tolerant. The risk factors for mesalamine intolerance were female gender (odds ratio [OR] = 1.83; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08-3.12), age < 60 years old (OR = 2.82; CI, 1.19-8.33), and pancolitis (OR = 2.09; 95% CI, 1.23-3.60). There were no significant differences in the use of anti-tumor necrosis factor-α agents, colectomy, or steroid-free remission at the last visit between patients with and without mesalamine intolerance. CONCLUSIONS Mesalamine intolerance is not rare, and its frequency has been increasing recently. The prognosis of patients with mesalamine intolerance did not differ significantly from that of those without intolerance.
