Beneficial Bacteria in the Gut Microbiota May Lead to Improved Metabolic and Immunological Status in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Med Sci (Basel) 2024; 12:41. [PMID: 39189204 PMCID: PMC11348168 DOI: 10.3390/medsci12030041] [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: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/09/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by functional changes in the airways. The lung-gut axis and gut microbiota (GM) have been linked to the pathophysiology of airway diseases. Regarding COPD, studies have shown that GM alterations could be related the stages of this disease. However, the relationship between GM and clinical, biochemical and immunological parameters in patients with COPD are not well understood. The aim of this study was to compare the relative abundance of specific groups of beneficial gut bacteria between COPD patients and healthy controls (CTLs) in order to evaluate relationships with metabolic and inflammatory markers in COPD. METHODS We included 16 stable COPD patients and 16 healthy volunteer CTLs. The relative abundances of Bifidobacterium spp. (Bf) and Akkermansia muciniphila (Akk) bacteria and the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes phyla were assessed by qPCR. Pulmonary function was evaluated by spirometry, biochemical parameters by colorimetric methods and plasma cytokine levels by cytometric bead array analysis. RESULTS The Firmicutes/Bacteroides ratio was related to emergency hospital visits and six-minute walk test (6MWT) results. Furthermore, the relative abundance of Bf was associated with plasma concentrations of glucose, triglycerides, HDL-C and IL-10. In addition, Firmicutes levels and the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio were associated with the IL-12/IL-10 ratio, while Akk abundance was linked to IL-12 levels. CONCLUSIONS The present findings suggest that the abundance of beneficial bacteria in the GM could influence clinical presentation and immunoregulation in COPD.

Li R. Thirty-day outcomes of non-emergent colectomy for inflammatory bowel disease in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol 2024; 48:102445. [PMID: 39111578 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinre.2024.102445] [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: 07/22/2024] [Revised: 07/31/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can have significant colonic involvement and carries a long-term risk of surgical resection. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and IBD share multiple inflammatory pathways, suggesting a bidirectional relationship through proposed pulmonary-intestinal cross-talk. This study aimed to examine the association between COPD and 30-day outcomes following non-emergent colectomies for IBD. METHODS Patients with IBD as the primary indication for colectomy were selected from National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) colectomy database 2012-2022. Emergency colectomy cases were excluded. A 1:3 propensity-score matching was used to balance the preoperative characteristics of COPD and non-COPD patients. Thirty-day postoperative outcomes were compared. RESULTS Among 25,285 patients who underwent colectomy for IBD, 365 (1.44 %) had COPD. Patients with COPD were older and had more comorbidities. After propensity-score matching, all COPD patients were matched to 1,095 patients without COPD. COPD and non-COPD patients had comparable 30-day mortality (3.29 % vs 2.19 %, p = 0.25). However, COPD patients had higher pulmonary complications (14.79 % vs 7.21 %, p < 0.01) attributed to pneumonia (10.14 % vs 4.02 %, p < 0.01), sepsis (12.88 % vs 8.68 %, p = 0.02), prolonged postoperative nothing by mouth (NPO) or nasogastric tube (NGT) use (28.22 % vs 22.10 %, p = 0.02), discharge not to home (40.28 % vs 34.02 %, p = 0.04), and longer length of stay (p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Therefore, given their mortality rates, colectomy is an effective treatment for IBD patients with concurrent COPD, while their postoperative care should include close monitoring of pulmonary symptoms and timely interventions to prevent further complications. Future research should explore the long-term prognosis of COPD patients after colectomy for IBD.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and healthcare burden worldwide. The progression of COPD is a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors, primarily cigarette smoking, and the underlying mechanisms are still unknown. Intestinal microecology impacts host immunity, metabolism, and resistance to pathogenic infections, which may be involved in pulmonary disease. Moreover, substantial interaction occurs between the intestinal and respiratory immune niches. After reviewing nearly 500 articles, we found the gut-lung axis plays an important role in the development of COPD. COPD patients often have dysbiosis of the intestinal microenvironment, which can affect host immunity through a series of mechanisms, exacerbating or protecting against COPD progression. This paper summarizes how the gut-lung axis influences COPD, including the alterations of intestinal microecology, the pathological mechanisms, and the involved immune responses. Finally, we summarize the latest research advances in COPD treatment from the perspective of regulating the gut-lung axis and intestinal immunity and evaluate the potential value of the gut-lung axis in improving COPD prognosis.

Abstract
Introduction The Lifei Decoction (LD) is a commonly utilized Chinese medicine for the treatment of sepsis and bronchial inflammation. However, its therapeutic potential in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains unknown. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the therapeutic efficacy and underlying mechanism of LD in a mouse model of COPD induced by cigarette smoke (CS) combined with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods Hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining was employed to observe the pathological alterations in lung tissue, while ELISA was utilized for the detection of levels of inflammatory factors in both lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Additionally, Western blot analysis was conducted to assess the expression of p-NF-κB, GDF11, ZO-1, and Occludin-1 proteins. The changes in intestinal flora were evaluated using the viable bacteria count method. Results The administration of LD demonstrates significant efficacy in mitigating pulmonary tissue damage in a murine model, while concurrently inhibiting the activation of the inflammatory pathway NF-κB to attenuate the levels of pro-inflammatory factors. Moreover, LD exhibits the capacity to enhance the expression of intestinal functional proteins ZO-1 and Occludin-1, thereby rectifying dysbiosis within the gut microbiota. Conclusion The LD shows great promise as a potential treatment for COPD.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and smokers have a higher incidence of intestinal disorders. The aim of this study was to gain insight into the transcriptomic changes in the lungs and intestines, and the fecal microbial composition after cigarette smoke exposure. Mice were exposed to cigarette smoke and their lung and ileum tissues were analyzed by RNA sequencing. The top 15 differentially expressed genes were investigated in publicly available gene expression datasets of COPD and Crohn's disease (CD) patients. The murine microbiota composition was determined by 16S rRNA sequencing. Increased expression of MMP12, GPNMB, CTSK, CD68, SPP1, CCL22, and ITGAX was found in the lungs of cigarette smoke-exposed mice and COPD patients. Changes in the intestinal expression of CD79B, PAX5, and FCRLA were observed in the ileum of cigarette smoke-exposed mice and CD patients. Furthermore, inflammatory cytokine profiles and adhesion molecules in both the lungs and intestines of cigarette smoke-exposed mice were profoundly changed. An altered intestinal microbiota composition and a reduction in bacterial diversity was observed in cigarette smoke-exposed mice. Altered gene expression in the murine lung was detected after cigarette smoke exposure, which might simulate COPD-like alterations. The transcriptomic changes in the intestine of cigarette smoke-exposed mice had some similarities with those of CD patients and were associated with changes in the intestinal microbiome. Future research could benefit from investigating the specific mechanisms underlying the observed gene expression changes due to cigarette smoke exposure, focusing on identifying potential therapeutic targets for COPD and CD.

Abstract
Background An increasing number of studies have proved that gut microbiota is involved in the occurrence and development of various lung diseases and can interact with the diseased lung. The concept of the gut-lung axis (GLA) provides a new idea for the subsequent clinical treatment of lung diseases through human microbiota. This review aims to summarize the microbiota in the lung and gut and the interaction between them from the perspectives of traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine. Method We conducted a literature search by using the search terms "GLA," "gut microbiota," "spleen," and "Chinese medicine" in the databases PubMed, Web of Science, and CNKI. We then explored the mechanism of action of the gut-lung axis from traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine. Results The lung and gut microbiota enable the GLA to function through immune regulation, while metabolites of the gut microbiota also play an important role. The spleen can improve the gut microbiota to achieve the regulation of the GLA. Conclusion Improving the gut microbiota through qi supplementation and spleen fortification provides a new approach to the clinical treatment of lung diseases by regulating the GLA. Currently, our understanding of the GLA is limited, and more research is needed to explain its working principle.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by airflow limitation, respiratory symptoms, inflammation of the airways, and systemic manifestations of the disease. Genetic susceptibility and environmental factors are important in the development of the disease, particularly exposure to cigarette smoke which is the most notable risk factor. Mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene are the cause of cystic fibrosis (CF), which shares several pathophysiological pulmonary features with COPD, including airway obstruction, chronic airway inflammation and bacterial colonization; in addition, both diseases also present systemic defects leading to comorbidities such as pancreatic, gastrointestinal, and bone-related diseases. In patients with COPD, systemic CFTR dysfunction can be acquired by cigarette smoking, inflammation, and infection. This dysfunction is, on average, about half of that found in CF. Herein we review the literature focusing on acquired CFTR dysfunction and the potential role in the pathogenesis of comorbidities associated with COPD and chronic bronchitis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has a rising global prevalence. However, the understanding of its impact on mortality remains inconsistent so we explored the association between IBD and all-cause and cause-specific mortality. METHODS This study included 502,369 participants from the UK Biobank, a large, population-based, prospective cohort study with mortality data through 2022. IBD was defined by baseline self-report or from primary care or hospital admission data. We estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for all-cause and cause-specific mortality in multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models. RESULTS A total of 5799 (1.2%) participants had a history of IBD at baseline. After a median follow-up of 13.7 years, 44,499 deaths occurred. Having IBD was associated with an increased risk of death from all causes (HR = 1.16, 95% CI = 1.07-1.24) and cancer (HR = 1.16, 95% CI = 1.05-1.30), particularly colorectal cancer (CRC) (HR = 1.56, 95% CI = 1.17-2.09). We observed elevated breast cancer mortality rates for individuals with Crohn's disease, and increased CRC mortality rates for individuals with ulcerative colitis. In stratified analyses of IBD and all-cause mortality, mortality risk differed by individuals' duration of IBD, age at IBD diagnosis, body mass index (BMI) (PHeterogeneity = 0.03) and smoking status (PHeterogeneity = 0.01). Positive associations between IBD and all-cause mortality were detected in individuals diagnosed with IBD for 10 years or longer, those diagnosed before the age of 50, all BMI subgroups except obese individuals, and in never or current, but not former smokers. CONCLUSIONS We found that having IBD was associated with increased risks of mortality from all causes, all cancers, and CRC. This underscores the importance of enhanced patient management strategies and targeted prevention efforts in individuals with IBD.

Abstract
Background: Observational studies suggest an association between gastrointestinal diseases and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the causal relationship remains unclear. Methods: We conducted bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using summary data from genome-wide association study (GWAS) to explore the causal relationship between common gastrointestinal diseases and COPD. Gastrointestinal diseases included gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease (PUD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), functional dyspepsia (FD), non-infectious gastroenteritis (NGE), and constipation (CP). Significant MR analysis results were replicated in the COPD validation cohort. Results: Bidirectional MR analysis supported a bidirectional causal relationship between GERD and COPD, and COPD was also found to increase the risk of IBS and CP. Our study also provided evidence for a bidirectional causal relationship between PUD and COPD, although the strength of evidence may be insufficient. Furthermore, we provided evidence that there is no causal association between CD, UC, FD, NGE, and COPD. Conclusion: This study offers some evidence to clarify the causal relationship between common gastrointestinal diseases and COPD. Further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms of these associations.

Abstract
The interaction between the microbial environment and the host is important for immune homeostasis. Recent research suggests that microbiota dysbiosis can be involved in respiratory diseases. Emphysema is a chronic inflammatory disease, but it is unclear whether dysbiosis caused by antibiotics can affect disease progression. Here, we tried to elucidate the effect of systemic antibiotics on smoking-exposed emphysema models. In this study, the antibiotic mixture caused more alveolar destruction and airspace expansion in the smoking group than in the smoking only or control groups. This emphysema aggravation as a result of antibiotic exposure was associated with increased levels of inflammatory cells, IL-6, IFNγ and protein concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Proteomics analysis indicated that autophagy could be involved in antibiotic-associated emphysema aggravation, and increased protein levels of LC3B, atg3, and atg7 were identified by Western blotting. In microbiome and metabolome analyses, the composition of the gut microbiota was different with smoking and antibiotic exposure, and the levels of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including acetate and propionate, were reduced by antibiotic exposure. SCFA administration restored emphysema development with reduced inflammatory cells, IL-6, and IFNγ and decreased LC3B, atg3, and atg7 levels. In conclusion, antibiotics can aggravate emphysema, and inflammation and autophagy may be associated with this aggravation.

Abstract
Both lung and gut belong to the common mucosal immune system (CMIS), with huge surface areas exposed to the external environment. They are the main defense organs against the invasion of pathogens and play a key role in innate and adaptive immunity. Recently, more and more evidence showed that stimulation of one organ can affect the other, as exemplified by intestinal complications during respiratory disease and vice versa, which is called lung-gut crosstalk. Intestinal microbiota plays an important role in respiratory and intestinal diseases. It is known that intestinal microbial imbalance is related to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), this imbalance could impact the integrity of the intestinal epithelial barrier and leads to the persistence of inflammation, however, gut microbial disturbances have also been observed in respiratory diseases such as asthma, allergy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and respiratory infection. It is not fully clarified how these disorders happened. In this review, we summarized the latest examples and possible mechanisms of lung-gut crosstalk in respiratory disease and IBD and discussed the strategy of shaping intestinal flora to treat respiratory diseases.

Abstract
Background The pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been studied in relation to the microbiome, providing space for more targeted interventions and new treatments. Numerous papers on the COPD microbiome have been reported in the last 10 years, yet few publications have used bibliometric methods to evaluate this area. Methods We searched the Web of Science Core Collection for all original research articles in the field of COPD microbiome from January 2011 to August 2022 and used CiteSpace for visual analysis. Results A total of 505 relevant publications were obtained, and the number of global publications in this field is steadily increasing every year, with China and the USA occupying the first two spots in international publications. Imperial College London and the University of Leicester produced the most publications. Brightling C from the UK was the most prolific writer, while Huang Y and Sze M from the USA were first and second among the authors cited. The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine had the highest frequency of citations. The top 10 institutions, cited authors and journals are mostly from the UK and the US. In the ranking of citations, the first article was a paper published by Sze M on changes in the lung tissue's microbiota in COPD patients. The keywords "exacerbation", "gut microbiota", "lung microbiome", "airway microbiome", "bacterial colonization", and "inflammation" were identified as cutting-edge research projects for 2011-2022. Conclusion Based on the visualization results, in the future, we can use the gut-lung axis as the starting point to explore the immunoinflammatory mechanism of COPD, and study how to predict the effects of different treatments of COPD by identifying the microbiota, and how to achieve the optimal enrichment of beneficial bacteria and the optimal consumption of harmful bacteria to improve COPD.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic relapsing diseases that affect the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly the colon. A link between the gut and the lung is suggested since patients with IBD have an increased susceptibility for chronic inflammatory lung disease. Furthermore, in the absence of overt lung disease, IBD patients have worsened lung function and more leukocytes in sputum than healthy individuals, highlighting a conduit between the gut and lung in disease. To study the gut-lung axis in the context of IBD, we used TCRδ-/- mice, which are highly susceptible to dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) due to the importance of γδ T cells in maintenance of barrier integrity. After induction of experimental colitis using DSS, the lungs of TCRδ-/- mice exhibited signs of inflammation and mild emphysema, which was not observed in DSS-treated C57BL/6 mice. Damage to the lung tissue was accompanied by a large expansion of neutrophils in the lung parenchyma and an increase in alveolar macrophages in the lung wash. Gene expression analyses showed a significant increase in Csf3, Cxcl2, Tnfa, and Il17a in lung tissue in keeping with neutrophil infiltration. Expression of genes encoding reactive oxygen species enzymes and elastolytic enzymes were enhanced in the lungs of both C57BL/6 and TCRδ-/- mice with colitis. Similarly, surfactant gene expression was also enhanced, which may represent a protective mechanism. These data demonstrate that severe colitis in a susceptible genetic background is sufficient to induce lung inflammation and tissue damage, providing the research community with an important tool for the development of novel therapeutics aimed at reducing co-morbidities in IBD patients.

Abstract
Here, clinical studies of patients were conducted to assess changes in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) associated with air pollution by PM. A comparative study of 100 patients with UC and 75 with IBS from highly (HPRs) and low (LPRs) PM2.5-polluted regions of Ukraine was conducted. Biopsy of the intestinal mucosa of patients with UC from HPRs showed severe cellular infiltration. Patients with IBS from HPRs had changes in the superficial epithelium (focal desquamation), and inflammatory-cellular infiltration of mucous membrane of the colon. In patients with UC, changes in mucus production were found, which were more significant in HPR patients. PAS response did not depend on the residence; the level of MUC2 was significantly lower in HPR patients with UC (1.12 vs 2.15 au). In patients with UC from HPRs, a decrease in Bacteroidetes (34.0 vs. 39.0 small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), ppm) and an increase in Proteobacteria compared to LPRs were shown. In IBS patients, significant differences were found in the level of Proteobacteria, which was higher in HPRs. The level of regulatory flora Akkermansia muciniphila and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii reduced in patients with UC from HPRs. In patients from LPRs, the level of Akkermansia muciniphila raised above normal (2.8 vs 4.7 SIBO, ppm). Similar changes of regulatory flora have been identified in patients with IBS from different regions. Therefore, a more severe course of the disease (more pronounced cellular infiltration and violation of the microbiota) was shown in patients with UC from HPRs as compared to LPRs.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the gut-lung axis in the context of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), highlighting the key role played by microbial dysbiosis and the impact of environmental and genetic factors on the innate and acquired immune system and on chronic inflammation in the intestinal and pulmonary tracts. Recent evidence indicates that Antigen-Presenting Cells (APCs) perform regulatory activity influencing the composition of the microbiota. APCs (macrophages, dendritic cells, B cells) possess membrane receptors known as Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs), a category of toll-like receptors (TLRs). PRRs recognise distinct microbial structures and microbial metabolites called Signals, which modulate the saprophytic microbial equilibrium of the healthy microbiota by recognising molecular profiles associated with commensal microbes (Microbe-Associated Molecular Patterns, MAMPs). During dysbiosis, pathogenic bacteria can prompt an inflammatory response, producing PAMPs (Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns) thereby activating the proliferation of inflammatory response cells, both local and systemic. This series of regulatory and immune-response events is responsible (together with chronic infection, incorrect diet, obesity, etc.) for the systemic chronic inflammation (SCI) known as "low-grade inflammation" typical of COPD and IBD. This review looks at immunological research and explores the role of the microbiota, looking at two recent clinical studies, SPIROMICS and AERIS. There is a need for further clinical studies to characterize the pulmonary microbiota and to obtain new information about the pathogenesis of lung disease to improve our knowledge and treatment strategies and identify new therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Introduction The risk of inflammatory bowel disease-associated colorectal cancer (IBD-CRC) is known to increase with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and a family history of CRC. However, the impact of comorbidities such as liver disease, obesity, diabetes, chronic lung, heart, and renal disease, and psychiatric illness on the risk of IBD-CRC remains unclear. We evaluated the effect of these comorbidities on the risk of IBD-CRC. Methods A retrospective review from 2009 to 2014 was conducted using the National Inpatient Sample data for adults 18 years and older. Patients with IBD (360,892), of whom 2,831 had CRC were identified using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes (ICD-9). Data on comorbidities were also obtained. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and confidence intervals (CI) were computed via logistic regression to evaluate the effect of comorbidities on the risk of IBD-CRC; the p-value was set at <0.05. Results The mean age of IBD patients in this study was 52.36±0.03. A majority of the patients with IBD-CRC were white and were significantly older compared to those without cancer (60 vs 52 years, p<0.05). The risk of colon cancer in IBD was increased by having a non-cholestatic liver disease (aOR 1.51, CI 1.23-1.86, p<0.01). Also, patients younger than 50 years with liver disease were at an increased risk of IBD-associated colon cancer in comparison to older patients (aOR 1.83 vs 1.34, p<0.05). Notably, diabetes, chronic pulmonary disease, renal failure, psychiatric illnesses, and rheumatoid diseases, were inversely associated with the risk of IBD-CRC (p<0.05). After stratifying by IBD subtypes, non-cholestatic liver disease was still independently associated with a higher risk for colon cancer in patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease (ulcerative colitis: aOR 1.43, CI 1.08-1.89; Crohn's disease: aOR 1.46, CI 1.10-2.00). Conclusions Patients with IBD who have non-cholestatic liver disease might have a higher risk for colon cancer, even at a younger age. These patients may require close colon cancer surveillance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing attention has been paid to the potential relationship between gut and lung. The bacterial dysbiosis in respiratory tract and intestinal tract is related to inflammatory response and the progress of lung diseases, and the pulmonary diseases could be improved by regulating the intestinal microbiome. This study aims to generate the knowledge map to identify major the research hotspots and frontier areas in the field of gut-lung axis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Publications related to the gut-lung axis from 2011 to 2021 were identified from the Web of Science Core Collection. CiteSpace 5.7.R2 software was used to analyze the publication years, journals, countries, institutions, and authors. Reference co-citation network has been plotted, and the keywords were used to analyze the research hotspots and trends. RESULTS A total of 3315 publications were retrieved and the number of publications per year increased over time. Our results showed that Plos One (91 articles) was the most active journal and The United States (1035 articles) published the most articles. We also observed the leading institution was the University of Michigan (48 articles) and Huffnagle Gary B, Dickson Robert P and Hansbro Philip M, who have made outstanding contributions in this field. CONCLUSION The Inflammation, Infection and Disease were the hotspots, and the regulation of intestinal flora to improve the efficacy of immunotherapy in lung cancer was the research frontier. The research has implications for researchers engaged in gut-lung axis and its associated fields.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Asthma is one of the most common chronic inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract. Previous studies have shown that the reduction of regulatory B cells (Bregs) can increase inflammation of the body and promote the formation of chronic airway inflammation in asthma, but the detailed mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. The intestinal flora Clostridium leptum (CL) has been reported to modulate immune regulatory cells in the body, but the specific mechanisms are not clear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of CL on the differentiation of interleukin (IL)- 10+ Bregs and the regulation of the asthmatic inflammation-associated immune network. METHODS The abundances of CL and the frequencies of blood Bregs from asthmatic patients and healthy controls were compared. The house dust mite (HDM)-induced asthma model was established in mice. The effects of CL exposure and B cell infusion on Breg differentiation, T cell cytokine production, and inflammatory cell infiltration in mouse lungs were examined. Bregs were cocultured with regulatory T cells (Tregs) and CD4+ non-Tregs to evaluate their roles on Foxp3 expression and T cell differentiation, respectively. RESULTS Compared with healthy controls, asthmatic patients had significantly reduced frequencies of blood Bregs and abundances of fecal CL, and these two parameters were positively correlated. In the asthma model, the frequencies of Bregs in lungs were significantly reduced; while the infusion of Bregs isolated from CL- supplemented mice significantly reduced airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness. In addition, Bregs inhibited the differentiation of cocultured non-Tregs into multiple effector cells and enhanced Foxp3 expression in cocultured Tregs. CONCLUSION Bregs contribute to the alleviation of airway inflammation, which provides insight on implementing CL-based microbial induction of Bregs in asthma therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comorbidity is an important predictor of how disease course in inflammatory bowel (IBD) evolves. AIMS To determine pre-diagnosis relative rates (RR) and post-diagnosis hazard ratios (HR) of component diseases of the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) in a cohort study of persons with IBD. METHODS The University of Manitoba IBD Epidemiology Database includes all Manitobans with IBD from 1 April 1984 through 31 March 2018 and matched controls. All outpatient physician claims and hospital discharge abstracts were searched for diagnostic codes for CCI component diseases. Some diseases were collapsed into one group such that we assessed 12 conditions. We report the RR of these conditions prior to IBD and the incidence of these diagnoses after IBD. Using Cox proportional hazards regression we report post-diagnosis HR. Confidence intervals were adjusted for Bonferroni correction. RESULTS The RR of cardiovascular diseases, peripheral vascular diseases, chronic pulmonary diseases, connective tissue disease/rheumatic diseases, renal disease, liver diseases, peptic ulcer disease, and cancer were all increased prior to diagnoses of IBD compared to controls. All comorbidities were increased post IBD diagnosis. The increased HR for dementia in persons with Crohn's disease was a concerning novel finding. The increased association with paraplegia/hemiplegia was unexpected. For all comorbidities, except diabetes, the age at diagnosis was younger in IBD than controls. CONCLUSIONS Persons with IBD have a higher comorbidity burden than persons without IBD. Optimal care plans for persons with IBD should include an assessment for other comorbidities that include just about every other organ system.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review will discuss recent studies showing that patients with chronic wasting diseases suffer from a variety of small intestinal impairments which might negatively impact the colonic microbiota and overall well-being. New insights will be addressed as well as novel approaches to assess intestinal function. RECENT FINDINGS Small intestinal dysfunction can enhance the amount and alter the composition of undigested food reaching the colon. As a result of reduced protein digestion and absorption, a large amount of undigested protein might reach the colon promoting the presence of pathogenic colonic bacteria and a switch from bacterial fiber fermentation to protein fermentation. While microbial metabolites of fiber fermentation, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), are mainly considered beneficial for overall health, metabolites of protein fermentation, i.e. ammonia, branched SCFAs, hydrogen sulfide, polyamines, phenols, and indoles, can exert beneficial or deleterious effects on overall health. Substantial advances have been made in the assessment of small intestinal dysfunction in chronic diseases, but studies investigating the connection to colonic microbial metabolism are needed. A promising new stable isotope approach can enable the measurement of metabolite production by the colonic microbiota. SUMMARY Several studies have been conducted to assess intestinal function in chronic diseases. Impairments in intestinal barrier function, sugar absorption, protein digestion, and absorption, as well as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth were observed and possibly might negatively impact colonic bacterial metabolism. We suggest that improving these perturbations will improve overall patient health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Owing to the potential role of the gut-lung axis in carcinogenesis, we assessed the incidence of gastric cancer in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS Using Quebec's administrative databases, we assembled a cohort of 118 913 patients aged 40 years and older with COPD from 1995 to 2015. We calculated age-standardized incidence rate ratio (IRR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for gastric cancer, comparing patients with COPD to the Quebec general population. We evaluated temporal changes in incidence by calculating annual percentage change (APC) and stratified the analysis by anatomical site. RESULTS Between 1995 and 2015, 279 patients with COPD developed gastric cancer (54.0 cases per 100 000 person-years). The overall age-standardized incidence rate in patients with COPD was comparable to the general population (IRR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.79-1.39). However, the IRR increased over time (APC, 4.40%; P = 0.0101), due to the growing rate of gastric cancer in patients with COPD (APC, 1.90%; P = 0.2666) and the declining rate in the Quebec population (APC, -2.40%; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS The overall risk of gastric cancer in patients with COPD did not differ from the general population; however, the risk among patients has increased over the years. These findings provide insights as to whether long-term follow-up for gastric cancer risk in COPD is warranted.

Ebselen prevents cigarette smoke-induced gastrointestinal dysfunction in mice. Clin Sci (Lond) 2021; 134:2943-2957. [PMID: 33125061 PMCID: PMC7676466 DOI: 10.1042/cs20200886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2020] [Revised: 10/16/2020] [Accepted: 10/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction is a common comorbidity of chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD) for which a major cause is cigarette smoking (CS). The
underlying mechanisms and precise effects of CS on gut contractility, however,
are not fully characterised. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to
investigate whether CS impacts GI function and structure in a mouse model of
CS-induced COPD. We also aimed to investigate GI function in the presence of
ebselen, an antioxidant that has shown beneficial effects on lung inflammation
resulting from CS exposure. Mice were exposed to CS for 2 or 6 months. GI
structure was analysed by histology and immunofluorescence. After 2 months of CS
exposure, ex vivo gut motility was analysed using video-imaging
techniques to examine changes in colonic migrating motor complexes (CMMCs). CS
decreased colon length in mice. Mice exposed to CS for 2 months had a higher
frequency of CMMCs and a reduced resting colonic diameter but no change in
enteric neuron numbers. Ten days cessation after 2 months CS reversed CMMC
frequency changes but not the reduced colonic diameter phenotype. Ebselen
treatment reversed the CS-induced reduction in colonic diameter. After 6 months
CS, the number of myenteric nitric-oxide producing neurons was significantly
reduced. This is the first evidence of colonic dysmotility in a mouse model of
CS-induced COPD. Dysmotility after 2 months CS is not due to altered neuron
numbers; however, prolonged CS-exposure significantly reduced enteric neuron
numbers in mice. Further research is needed to assess potential therapeutic
applications of ebselen in GI dysfunction in COPD.

Abstract
COVID-19 is a pandemic infection of the respiratory system caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) was found in many parts of the COVID-19 patients including the stool, suggesting a potential interaction with the host's gut microbiome. The gut microbiome also plays major roles in immunity and inflammation. It also impacts pulmonary functions through the gut-lung axis. There have been recent reports of the importance of the host microbiome in infection and pathogenicity. The understanding of the gut and lung microbiomes would open the gate to new therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are chronic inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts, respectively. These mucosal tissues bear commonalities in embryology, structure and physiology. Inherent similarities in immune responses at the two sites, as well as overlapping environmental risk factors, help to explain the increase in prevalence of IBD amongst COPD patients. Over the past decade, a tremendous amount of research has been conducted to define the microbiological makeup of the intestine, known as the intestinal microbiota, and determine its contribution to health and disease. Intestinal microbial dysbiosis is now known to be associated with IBD where it impacts upon intestinal epithelial barrier integrity and leads to augmented immune responses and the perpetuation of chronic inflammation. While much less is known about the lung microbiota, like the intestine, it has its own distinct, diverse microflora, with dysbiosis being reported in respiratory disease settings such as COPD. Recent research has begun to delineate the interaction or crosstalk between the lung and the intestine and how this may influence, or be influenced by, the microbiota. It is now known that microbial products and metabolites can be transferred from the intestine to the lung via the bloodstream, providing a mechanism for communication. While recent studies indicate that intestinal microbiota can influence respiratory health, intestinal dysbiosis in COPD has not yet been described although it is anticipated since factors that lead to dysbiosis are similarly associated with COPD. This review will focus on the gut-lung axis in the context of IBD and COPD, highlighting the role of environmental and genetic factors and the impact of microbial dysbiosis on chronic inflammation in the intestinal tract and lung.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) usually experience recurrent acute exacerbations. These patients, especially those with stable COPD, require an effective intervention for treating exacerbations. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Compound Caoshi silkworm granules (CCSGs) in stable COPD patients and to investigate their potential mechanism. METHODS A randomized controlled trial was performed at Jinhua Hospital, Zhejiang University. Patients were enrolled in this study if they met the criterion of stable COPD. A total of 40 patients were randomly divided into the following 2 groups: Group A (n = 20, routine treatment (RT) group) and Group B (n = 20, RT plus CCSGs [RT plus CCSGs] group). The duration of treatment was 3 months. Stool samples were collected from all patients on day 0 and the gut microbiota was analyzed using 16s rRNA sequencing. The St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) scores and lung function were assessed at month 0 and month 3. RESULTS The components of gut microbiota differed between stable COPD patients and the healthy population. The RT plus CCSGs group showed improved SGRQ scores compared to the RT group. There was no difference in forced expiratory volume-one second, forced vital capacity, and forced expiratory volume-one second/forced vital capacity between the two groups. Furthermore, the abundance of gut microbiota in patients with the top 10 SGRQ scores (Group N) differed from the abundance of gut microbiota in those with the lowest 10 SGRQ scores (Group T). CONCLUSION CCSGs have beneficial effects in the improvement of symptoms in stable COPD patients over a 3-month treatment period. The potential underlying mechanism may be attributable to the difference in gut microbiota among patients. However, more research is needed to confirm this conclusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The latest estimate of the prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the United States was based on 2009 data, which indicates a need for an up-to-date re-estimation. The objectives of this study were to investigate the prevalence of all forms of IBD including ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD), and IBD unspecified (IBDU). METHODS Pediatric (age 2-17) and adult (age ≥18) IBD patients were identified from 2 large claims databases. For each year between 2007 and 2016, prevalence was calculated per 100,000 population and standardized based on the 2016 national Census. A fixed-effects meta-analytical model was used for overall prevalence. RESULTS The pediatric prevalence of IBD overall increased by 133%, from 33.0/100,000 in 2007 to 77.0/100,000 in 2016. Among children, CD was twice as prevalent as UC (45.9 vs 21.6). Prevalence was higher in boys than girls for all forms of IBD, in contrast to the adult population where the prevalence was higher in women than men. We also found that the 10-17 age subgroup was the major contributor to the rising pediatric IBD prevalence. For adults, the prevalence of IBD overall increased by 123%, from 214.9 in 2007 to 478.4 in 2016. The prevalence rates of UC and CD were similar (181.1 vs 197.7) in 2016. CONCLUSIONS Inflammatory bowel disease continues to affect a substantial proportion of the US population. In 2016, 1 in 209 adults and 1 in 1299 children aged 2-17 were affected by IBD. Prevalence of IBD has been increasing compared with previously published 2009 data.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is an umbrella term that covers both ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), which are chronic inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal system. Airway diseases are one of the most commonly studied manifestations of IBD. It is observed that populations with pre-existing obstructive pulmonary conditions are at higher risk of new-onset IBD. This newly documented evidence of increased incidence of IBD among patients with pulmonary diseases and the higher than the estimated prevalence of pulmonary diseases among IBD sufferers support the hypothesis of a two-way association. This review article focuses on summarizing the current knowledge and available evidence regarding the association between IBD and obstructive pulmonary diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, bronchiectasis, and asthma. We utilized PubMed as the primary search source and database and included the free full-text articles available on it, published over the past five years. We reviewed literature from multiple regions of the world, such as the US, UK, China, and Canada and compiled this traditional review article utilizing the information collected from 4,966,459 patients. Specifications such as age and gender were not mentioned in all articles. This review will serve to strengthen the existing research database concerning the relationship between IBD and obstructive pulmonary diseases. It will help to highlight the significance of the two-way association between IBD and obstructive pulmonary disease and the importance of treating these two conditions simultaneously. It will also raise awareness about the importance of timely detection of IBD and associated airway complications, leading to decreased disease burden and the treatment cost.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is evidence of an association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and lung conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This systematic review and meta-analysis explored the risk of new onset IBD in patients with COPD and new onset COPD in IBD patients. METHODS We performed a systematic review of observational studies exploring the risk of both associations. Two independent reviewers explored the EMBASE, MEDLINE, LILACS and DOAJ databases, and the risk of bias was evaluated using the ROBBINS-I tool. Data from included studies was pooled in a random effect meta-analysis following a DerSimonian-Laird method. The quality of the evidence was ranked using GRADE criteria. RESULTS Four studies including a pooled population of 1355 new cases were included. We found association between new onset IBD in COPD population. The risk of bias was low in most of them. Only one study reported tobacco exposure as a potential confounding factor. The pooled risk ratio (RR) for a new diagnosis of IBD in COPD patients was 2.02 (CI, 1.56 to 2.63), I2 = 72% (GRADE: low). The subgroup analyses for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis yielded RRs of 2.29 (CI, 1.51 to 3.48; I2 = 62%), and 1.79 (CI, 1.39 to 2.29; I2 = 19%.), respectively. DISCUSSION According to our findings, the risk of new onset IBD was higher in populations with COPD compared to the general population without this condition. Based on our analysis, we suggest a potential association between IBD and COPD; however, further research exploring the potential effect of confounding variables, especially cigarette smoking, is still needed.

Abstract
Airway diseases are the most commonly described lung manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the similarities in disease pathogenesis and the sharing of important environmental risk factors and genetic susceptibility suggest that there is a complex interplay between IBD and airway diseases. Recent evidence of IBD occurrence among patients with airway diseases and the higher than estimated prevalence of subclinical airway injuries among IBD patients support the hypothesis of a two-way association. Future research efforts should be directed toward further exploration of this association, as airway diseases are highly prevalent conditions with a substantial public health impact.
