Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of recurrent chronic inflammatory diseases, including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Although IBD has been extensively studied for decades, its cause and pathogenesis remain unclear. Existing research suggests that IBD may be the result of an interaction between genetic factors, environmental factors and the gut microbiome. IBD is closely related to non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). NcRNAs are composed of microRNA(miRNA), long non-coding RNA(lnc RNA) and circular RNA(circ RNA). Compared with miRNA, the role of lnc RNA in IBD has been little studied. Lnc RNA is an RNA molecule that regulates gene expression and regulates a variety of molecular pathways involved in the pathbiology of IBD. Targeting IBD-associated lnc RNAs may promote personalized treatment of IBD and have therapeutic value for IBD patients. Therefore, this review summarized the effects of lnc RNA on the intestinal epithelial barrier, inflammatory response and immune homeostasis in IBD, and summarized the potential of lnc RNA as a biomarker of IBD and as a predictor of therapeutic response to IBD in the future.

Schreiber ME, Schneider MA, Murray FR, Turina M, Gubler C. Routine Endoscopy Prior to Surgical Ostomy Closure: An Obsolete Concept. Dig Dis Sci 2023; 68:4130-4139. [PMID: 37707748 PMCID: PMC10570172 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-023-08088-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Closure of temporary diverting ostomies is commonly preceded by an endoscopic study of the colonic mucosa and anastomosis, despite lacking evidence of its relevance and impact on subsequent operative management. AIM We sought to determine the incidence of pathological findings and therefore evaluate the clinical benefit of routine pre-operative endoscopy in asymptomatic patients, hypothesizing sole evaluation of the anastomotic integrity to be sufficient in these cases. METHODS We retrospectively identified all adult patients with ostomy installations who were followed up for potential reversal surgery between 2002 and 2020 at the University Hospital of Zurich, Switzerland. Main outcome measures were the incidence of endoscopically identified pathological findings in the asymptomatic case cohort and their impact on the subsequent course of treatment. RESULTS Pre-procedural endoscopic data of 187 cases evaluated for ostomy closure were evaluated. Relevant mucosal findings in the asymptomatic cohort were documented in 26.3% and findings at the anastomotic site detected in 8.7%. A change in subsequent surgical management was noted in 10 patients of the entire cohort (5.3%) and in 9 (5.1%) of all asymptomatic cases. Upon multivariate analyses, the age range of 51 to 60 years old was found to be significantly linked to the presence of endoscopic findings entailing a change in patient management. CONCLUSION Our findings strongly suggest ostomy closure surgery without previous assessment of the bowel mucosa by means of endoscopy to be acceptable in asymptomatic patients. However, we found it to be indicated in all patients meeting the screening criteria for colorectal carcinoma.

Which long noncoding RNAs and circular RNAs contribute to inflammatory bowel disease? Cell Death Dis 2020; 11:456. [PMID: 32541691 PMCID: PMC7295799 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-020-2657-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2020] [Revised: 05/28/2020] [Accepted: 05/29/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic relapsing gastrointestinal inflammatory disease, mainly comprises ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). Although the mechanisms and pathways of IBD have been widely examined in recent decades, its exact pathogenesis remains unclear. Studies have focused on the discovery of new therapeutic targets and application of precision medicine. Recently, a strong connection between IBD and noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) has been reported. ncRNAs include microRNAs (miRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs). The contributions of lncRNAs and circRNAs in IBD are less well-studied compared with those of miRNAs. However, lncRNAs and circRNAs are likely to drive personalized therapy for IBD. They will enable accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and prediction of therapeutic responses and promote IBD therapy. Herein, we briefly describe the molecular functions of lncRNAs and circRNAs and provide an overview of the current knowledge of the altered expression profiles of lncRNAs and circRNAs in patients with IBD. Further, we discuss how these RNAs are involved in the nosogenesis of IBD and are emerging as biomarkers.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), mainly including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Despite improvements in detection, drug treatment and surgery, the pathogenesis of IBD has not been clarified. A number of miRNAs have been found to be involved in the initiation, development and progression of IBD, and they may have the potential to be used as biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Here, we have summarized the recent advances about the roles of miRNAs in IBD and analyzed the contribution of miRNAs to general diagnosis, differential diagnosis and activity judgment of IBD. Furthermore, we have also elaborated the promising role of miRNAs in IBD-related cancer prevention and prognosis prediction.

Abstract
Crohn’s disease (CD) is characterized by transmural inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract leading to inflammatory, stricturing and/or and fistulizing disease. Once a patient develops medically refractory disease, mechanical obstruction, fistulizing disease or perforation, surgery is indicated. Unfortunately, surgery is not curative in most cases, underscoring the importance of bowel preservation and adequate perioperative medical management. As many of the medications used to treat CD are immunosuppressive, the concern for postoperative infectious complications and anastomotic healing are particularly concerning; these concerns have to be balanced with preventing and treating residual or recurrent disease. We herein review the available literature and make recommendations regarding the preoperative, perioperative and postoperative administration of immunosuppressive medications in the current era of biological therapy for CD. Standardized algorithms for perioperative medical management would greatly assist future research for optimizing surgical outcomes and preventing disease recurrence in the future.
