Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and relapsing immune-mediated disease of the gastrointestinal tract with a gradually increasing global incidence and prevalence. A prolonged course of IBD leads to a decline in patient quality of life and the creation of a substantial economic burden on society. Owing to the lack of specific diagnostic markers, the diagnosis of IBD still needs a gold standard based on a combination of clinical manifestations, imaging, laboratory, and endoscopic results. Accordingly, the current goals of IBD treatment are to alleviate clinical symptoms and reduce recurrence rates. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a standard set of procedures to diagnose and treat IBD. In this review, we summarize prominent and emerging studies, outline classical and contemporary approaches to diagnosing and managing IBD, and integrate multiple guidelines. Furthermore, we propose the possibility of establishing an early and comprehensive diagnostic workflow and personalized management strategy in the future. We aim to enhance the quality and standardization of diagnostic and treatment procedures for IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data are available on the outcome of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in patients with solid organ transplantation (SOT). We describe the natural history of pre-existing IBD and de novo IBD after SOT. METHODS This was a retrospective, multicenter study that included patients with pre-existing IBD at the time of SOT and patients with de novo IBD after SOT. The primary outcome was IBD progression, defined by escalation of medical treatment, surgical therapy, or hospitalization due to refractory IBD. Risk factors were identified using multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis. RESULTS A total of 177 patients (106 pre-existing IBD and 71 de novo IBD) were included. Most patients with pre-existing IBD (92.5%) were in remission before SOT. During follow-up, 32% of patients with pre-existing IBD had disease progression, with a median time between SOT and IBD progression of 2.2 (interquartile range, 1.3-4.6) years. In the de novo cohort, 55% of patients had disease progression with a median time to flare of 1.9 (interquartile range, 0.8-3.9) years after diagnosis. In the pre-existing IBD cohort, active IBD at the time of SOT (hazard ratio, 1.80; 95% confidence interval, 1.14-2.84; P = .012) and the presence of extraintestinal manifestations (hazard ratio, 3.10; 95% confidence interval, 1.47-6.54; P = .003) were predictive factors for IBD progression. CONCLUSIONS One-third of patients with pre-existing IBD and about half of patients with de novo IBD have disease progression after SOT. Active IBD at the time of SOT and the presence of extraintestinal manifestations were identified as risk factors for IBD progression.

Association between inflammatory bowel disease, nephrolithiasis, tubulointerstitial nephritis, and chronic kidney disease: A propensity score-matched analysis of US nationwide inpatient sample 2016-2018. J Dig Dis 2023; 24:572-583. [PMID: 37823607 DOI: 10.1111/1751-2980.13233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), mainly including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), are increasing globally. We aimed to evaluate the potential association between IBD and nephrolithiasis, tubulointerstitial nephritis, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS Data of hospitalized adults ≥20 years of age were extracted from the U.S. National Inpatient Sample (NIS) during 2016-2018. Patients with UC, CD, or CKD were identified through the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis (1:1) was conducted to balance the characteristics between groups. Logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the relationships between UC or CD and kidney conditions. RESULTS Three cohorts were included for analysis after PSM analysis. Cohorts 1, 2 and 3 contained 235 262 subjects (117 631 with CD or without IBD), 140 856 subjects (70 428 with UC or without IBD), and 139 098 subjects (69 549 with CD or UC), respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that compared to non-IBD individuals, CD patients were significantly associated with greater odds for nephrolithiasis (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.25, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.08-2.43), tubulointerstitial nephritis (aOR 1.31, 95% CI 1.24-1.38), CKD at any stage (aOR 1.28, 95% CI 1.24-1.32), and moderate-to-severe CKD (aOR 1.22, 95% CI 1.17-1.26), while UC was associated with a higher rate of nephrolithiasis. Compared to UC, CD was associated with higher odds for all such kidney conditions. CONCLUSIONS Patients with CD are more likely to have nephrolithiasis, tubulointerstitial nephritis, CKD at any stage, and moderate-to-severe CKD compared to non-IBD individuals.

Abstract
The gut microbiome has been considered to play an important role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Our previous study reported that tacrolimus-altered gut microbiota elicited immunoregulatory effects in both colonic mucosa and circulation, contributing to an increased allograft survival rate in mice. Here, we aimed to observe the changes in the tacrolimus-induced microbiome in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mouse model and explore the possibility and efficacy of combination therapy with tacrolimus and the microbiome on colitis. Mice were divided into the control, DSS, tacrolimus monotherapy and tacrolimus plus Lactobacillus plantarum 550 (Lacto)-treated groups. The body weight, stool consistency, hematochezia and survival of mice were observed daily. Total RNA from colonic mucosa was extracted and subjected to transcriptome sequencing. Cecal contents were collected and the 16S rRNA sequencing was performed to characterize the gut microbiome and the ultrahigh- performance liquid chromatography-MS/MS (UHPLC-MS/MS) was used for targeted quantification of bile acids. The results confirmed that tacrolimus significantly ameliorated DSS-induced colitis in mice. Beneficial alterations of the gut microbiome characterized by a remarkable expansion of the genus Lactobacillus were induced by tacrolimus treatment. Oral supplementation with Lacto further improved the tacrolimus-mediated suppression of body weight loss in colitis, while the survival time of mice was further prolonged and the inflammation of colonic mucosa was obviously relieved. The immune and inflammation-related signaling pathways, including IFN-γ and IFN-α response, allograft rejection, IL2 STAT5 signaling and the inflammatory response pathways, were further downregulated in the tacrolimus plus Lacto cotreatment group. Cotreatment also improved the diversity of the gut microbiome and rescued the concentration of taurochenodeoxycholic acid (TCDCA) in colitis. The latter was positively correlated with the abundance of Lactobacillus but negatively related to the disease activity index score. Overall, our results indicated that Lactobacillus plantarum promoted the therapeutic effect of tacrolimus in experimental colitis, offering a promising strategy to combine tacrolimus and Lactobacillus in the treatment of colitis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As best practices for treating children with severe-onset ulcerative colitis remain controversial in the era of biologic agents, we prospectively investigated treatments and outcomes in a multicenter cohort. METHODS Using a Web-based data registry maintained in Japan between October 2012 and March 2020, we compared management and treatment outcomes in an S1 group defined by a Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index of 65 or more points at diagnosis with those in an S0 group defined by an index value below 65. RESULTS Three hundred one children with ulcerative colitis treated at 21 institutions were included, with follow-up for 3.6 ± 1.9 years. Among them, 75 (25.0%) were in S1; their age at diagnosis was 12.3 ± 2.9 years, and 93% had pancolitis. Colectomy free rates in S1 were 89% after 1 year, 79% after 2, and 74% after 5, significantly lower than for S0 (P = 0.0003). Calcineurin inhibitors and biologic agents, respectively, were given to 53% and 56% of S1 patients, significantly more than for S0 patients (P < 0.0001). Among S1 patients treated with calcineurin inhibitors when steroids failed, 23% required neither biologic agents nor colectomy, similarly to the S0 group (P = 0.46). CONCLUSIONS Children with severe ulcerative colitis are likely to require powerful agents such as calcineurin inhibitors and biologic agents; sometimes colectomy ultimately proves necessary. Need for biologic agents in steroid-resistant patients might be reduced to an extent by interposing a therapeutic trial of CI rather than turning to biologic agents or colectomy immediately.

Abstract
Renal and urinary tract complications related to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have been relatively understudied in the literature compared with other extraintestinal manifestations. Presentation of these renal manifestations can be subtle, and their detection is complicated by a lack of clarity regarding the optimal screening and routine monitoring of renal function in IBD patients. Urolithiasis is the most common manifestation. Penetrating Crohn's disease involving the genitourinary system as an extraintestinal complication is rare but associated with considerable morbidity. Some biologic agents used to treat IBD have been implicated in progressive renal impairment, although differentiating between drug-related side effects and deteriorating kidney function due to extraintestinal manifestations can be challenging. The most common findings on renal biopsy of IBD patients with renal injury are tubulointerstitial nephritis and IgA nephropathy, the former also being associated with drug-induced nephrotoxicity related to IBD medication. Amyloidosis, albeit rare, must be diagnosed early to reduce the chance of progression to renal failure. In this review, we evaluate the key literature relating to renal and urological involvement in IBD and emphasize the high index of suspicion required for the prompt diagnosis and treatment of these manifestations and complications, considering the potential severity and implications of acute or chronic loss of renal function. We also provide suggestions for future research priorities.

Abstract
Background Intravenous corticosteroid is the mainstay for managing acute severe ulcerative colitis, but one-third of patients do not respond to intravenous corticosteroid. Tacrolimus, a salvage therapy before colectomy, is usually orally administered, though its bioavailability is low compared intravenous administration. The efficacy of intravenous tacrolimus has not been widely studied. Aim To determine the efficacy and safety of intravenous tacrolimus for the treatment of acute severe ulcerative colitis. Methods Eighty-seven hospitalized acute severe ulcerative colitis patients were enrolled for a prospective cohort study between 2009 and 2017. Sixty-five patients received intravenous tacrolimus and 22 received oral tacrolimus. The primary outcome was the achievement of clinical remission within 2 weeks. Relapse and colectomy incidence and adverse events were assessed at 24 weeks. Results Response rates of both treatments exceeded 50% but were not significantly different. The remission rate was higher in intravenous tacrolimus compared with oral tacrolimus. At 24 weeks, oral and intravenous tacrolimus showed similar relapse-free survival rates; however, colectomy-free survival rates were higher in intravenous tacrolimus compared with oral tacrolimus. Conclusions Patients receiving intravenous tacrolimus achieved superior remission and colectomy-free survival rates compared with patients receiving oral tacrolimus. Safety was similar between the two treatments.

Analysis of the Long-Term Prognosis in Japanese Patients with Ulcerative Colitis Treated with New Therapeutic Agents and the Correlation between Prognosis and Disease Susceptibility Loci. Inflamm Intest Dis 2021; 6:154-164. [PMID: 34722645 DOI: 10.1159/000518371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
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
Gastrointestinal complications are common after renal transplantation, and they have a wide clinical spectrum, varying from diarrhoea to post-transplant inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Chronic immunosuppression may increase the risk of post-transplant infection and medication-related injury and may also be responsible for IBD in kidney transplant re-cipients despite immunosuppression. Differentiating the various forms of post-transplant colitis is challenging, since most have similar clinical and histological features. Drug-related colitis are the most frequently encountered colitis after kidney transplantation, particularly those related to the chronic use of mycophenolate mofetil, while de novo IBDs are quite rare. This review will explore colitis after kidney transplantation, with a particular focus on different clinical and histological features, attempting to clearly identify the right treatment, thereby improving the final outcome of patients.

Abstract
Nowadays, non-biological treatments remain valuable approaches among the therapeutic armamentarium of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Mesalamine is the core treatment of mild‑to‑moderate ulcerative colitis (UC) and corticosteroids are crucial for the induction of remission of moderate‑to‑severe flares in both UC and Crohn's disease (CD). Even approaches as cyclosporine, tacrolimus, azathioprine, methotrexate, and surgery still have a nuclear position as strategies to induce and/or maintain remission in IBD. Due to their particularities and to the accumulated evidence, each of these strategies conquered peculiar roles in the overall IBD strategy, all of them contributing to better outcomes. This review emphasizes the particular roles that non-biological treatments gained over time: recent mesalamine formulations to increase adhesion rates, higher doses of 5-ASA for high-risk patients, MMX technology to improve drug release and attain higher bowel concentrations, cyclosporine as a bridge to vedolizumab, tacrolimus as a potential alternative to thiopurines or infliximab, azathioprine in combination therapy with infliximab and dubious in monotherapy, and surgery as a mean to a "better end".

CYP3A5 Genotype as a Potential Pharmacodynamic Biomarker for Tacrolimus Therapy in Ulcerative Colitis in Japanese Patients. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21124347. [PMID: 32570960 PMCID: PMC7352351 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21124347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2020] [Revised: 06/12/2020] [Accepted: 06/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Tacrolimus has been used to induce remission in patients with steroid-refractory ulcerative colitis. It poses a problem of large individual differences in dosage necessary to attain target blood concentration and, often, this leads to drug inefficacy. We examined the difference in mRNA expression levels of ATP binding cassette transporter B1 (ABCB1) between inflamed and non-inflamed tissues, and the influence of CYP3A5 genotype on tacrolimus therapy. The mRNA expression of CYP3A4 in colonic mucosa and that of cytochrome p450 3A5 (CYP3A5) and ABCB1 in inflamed and non-inflamed areas were examined in 14 subjects. The mRNA expression levels of CYP3A5 were higher than that of CYP3A4. The mRNA expression of ABCB1 was lower in the inflamed than in the non-inflamed mucosa, despite that of CYP3A5 mRNA level being not significantly changed. Hence, the deterioration of the disease is related to the reduction of the barrier in the inflamed mucosa. The relationship between CYP3A5 genotype and blood concentration, dose, and concentration/dose (C/D) ratio of tacrolimus in 15 subjects was studied. The tacrolimus dose to maintain equivalent blood concentrations was lower in CYP3A5*3/*3 than in CYP3A5*1 carriers, and the C/D ratio was significantly higher in the latter. Thus, CYP3A5 polymorphism information played a role in determining the initial dose of tacrolimus. Furthermore, since the effect of tacrolimus appears earlier in CYP3A5*3/*3 than in CYP3A5*1/*1 and *1/*3, it seems necessary to change the evaluation time of therapeutic effect by CYP3A5 genotype. Additionally, the relationship between CYP3A5 genotype and C/D ratio of tacrolimus in colonic mucosa was investigated in 10 subjects. Tacrolimus concentration in the mucosa was two-fold higher in CYP3A5*3/*3 than in CYP3A5*1 carriers, although no significant difference in tacrolimus-blood levels was observed. Therefore, the local concentration of tacrolimus affected by CYP3A5 polymorphism might be related to its therapeutic effect.
