[PMID: 38521452 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpeds.2024.114027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/25/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the association between early-life atopic manifestations and later risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), for which prospective data are scarce. STUDY DESIGN The population-based All Babies in Southeast Sweden (ABIS) and Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child (MoBa) cohorts follow children from birth (ABIS 1997-1999; MoBa 2000-2009) to the end of 2021. Based on validated questionnaires, parents prospectively reported information on asthma, food-related allergic symptoms, atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis by age 3. IBD was defined by ≥ 2 diagnostic records in the national health registries. Cox regression estimated hazard ratios adjusted (aHRs) for parental IBD, atopy, education level, smoking habits, and national origin. Cohort-specific estimates were pooled using a random-effects model. RESULTS We compiled data on 83 311 children (ABIS, n = 9041; MoBa, n = 74 270). In over 1 174 756 person-years of follow-up, 301 participants were diagnosed with IBD. Children with atopic dermatitis at age 3 had an increased risk of IBD (pooled aHR = 1.46 [95% CI = 1.13-1.88]), Crohn's disease (pooled aHR = 1.53 [95%CI = 1.04-2.26]), and ulcerative colitis (pooled aHR = 1.78 [95%CI = 1.15-2.75]). Conversely, any atopic manifestation by age 3 was not associated with IBD (pooled aHR = 1.20 [95%CI = 0.95-1.52]), nor were analyses specifically focused on early-life food-related allergic symptoms, asthma, and allergic rhinitis. CONCLUSION While atopic manifestations in early childhood were overall not associated with IBD, children with atopic dermatitis specifically were at increased risk of developing IBD, suggesting shared etiologic traits; these findings might be useful in identifying at-risk individuals for IBD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease (EGID), and functional abdominal pain disorder (FAPD) present with nonspecific gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms clinically and also have some similarities in pathogeneses associated with eosinophils. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the role of eosinophils in IBD compared to EGID and FAPD by investigating eosinophils in peripheral blood and GI tissue and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP). METHODS Pediatric patients with chronic GI symptoms who underwent endoscopic biopsies were enrolled. Complete blood cell counts, inflammatory markers, immunoglobulin E (IgE), serum ECP levels, and endoscopic and histopathologic findings were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS A total of 387 patients were included: 179 with EGID, 107 with IBDs, and 82 with FAPD. Peripheral absolute eosinophil count (AEC), total IgE, and serum ECP were significantly higher in both IBD and EGID than in FAPD (all p < 0.05). Statistically significant differences were noted among the three groups in tissue eosinophil counts in each segment of GI tract except for the esophagus (p < 0.05). Significant differences were observed in tissue eosinophil counts in the ascending, sigmoid colon, and rectum between EGID and IBD (p < 0.05). Peripheral and tissue eosinophils in the stomach and duodenum revealed positive correlation in both EGID and IBD (both p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Elevated eosinophil-related markers, as well as increased tissue eosinophilic infiltration in the affected areas of the GI tract in both IBD and EGID compared to FAPD, suggest that eosinophils might play a common important role in the pathogeneses of both diseases.

Abstract
Limited knowledge is available about the relationship between food allergies or intolerances and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Clinicians frequently encounter patients who report food allergies or intolerances, and gastroenterologists struggle distinguishing between patients with organic disorders and those with functional disorders, which the patients themselves may associate with specific dietary components. This task becomes even more arduous when managing patients with significant underlying organic conditions, like IBD. The aim of this review is to summarize and emphasize any actual associations between food allergies and intolerances and inflammatory diseases, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Through a narrative disceptation of the current literature, we highlight the increased prevalence of various food intolerances, including lactose, fructose, histamine, nickel, and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, in individuals with IBD. Additionally, we explore the association between increased epithelial barrier permeability in IBD and the development of food sensitization. By doing so, we aim to enhance clinicians' awareness of the nutritional management of patients with IBD when facing complaints or evidence of food allergies or intolerances.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous parallels exist between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and allergic rhinitis (AR), which include risk factors (such as environmental and genetic factors), pathogenesis (immune disorders, epithelial cell barriers, etc.), and treatment (immunosuppressants and immunomodulators, such as cyclosporine and steroids). However, the risk of AR in IBD patients is unknown. OBJECTIVE In this systematic review and meta-analysis, patients with IBD are examined for their risk of AR. METHODS Several databases are accessible in both Chinese and English, including PubMed, BioRXiv, WanFang, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Web of Science, METSTR, and MedRxiv. Findings presented at allergy, rhinology, thoracic, and gastrointestinal conferences were analyzed. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, two evaluators independently retrieved data, read the literature, and evaluated bias risk. The data analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.4. Case-control and cohort studies were eligible study designs for this research. RESULTS There were 10 case-control studies and 1 cohort study included in the meta-analysis. The experimental group consisted of 65,687 IBD patients, of whom 5838 had AR. A total of 345,176 participants without IBD were included in the control group, of whom 24,625 developed AR. The outcomes demonstrated that IBD patients had a higher risk of developing AR (odds ratio [OR] = 1.48, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.12, 1.95], Z = 2.78, P = 0.005) than those without IBD. CONCLUSION The risk of AR is higher in IBD patients. Further investigation is required to determine the mechanism behind the association between AR and IBD.

Abstract
The rising prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and food allergies and their partially overlapping mechanisms such as microbiome diversity reduction raise questions about the role of allergies in IBD. While data on their comorbidity are available, analysis of IgE-sensitization's influence on the clinical presentation of IBD is lacking and is the aim of this study. Histories of 292 children with newly diagnosed IBD (173 cases of ulcerative colitis, 119 cases of Crohn's disease) were analyzed. Disease age of onset, activity, location, behaviour, and anthropometric and laboratory parameters were tested for its dependence on the presence of chosen IgE sensitization markers. A.o. Chi2, OR and phi coefficient were assessed. In Crohn's disease (CD), elevated total IgE (tIgE) correlated with weight loss, rectal bleeding, ASCA IgG positivity (φ = 0.19 for all) and negatively correlated with complicated disease behaviour (φ = -0.19). TIgE > 5 × reference range correlated with being underweight (φ = 0.2), ASCA IgG positivity (φ = 0.3), ASCA double (IgA and IgG) positivity (φ = 0.25) and elevated total IgG (φ = 0.18). The presence of specific IgEs (sIgE) correlated with extraintestinal manifestations of IBD (φ = 0.19): Egg white sIgE correlated with upper GI involvement (L4b) (φ = 0.26), severe growth impairment (φ = 0.23) and colonic mucosal eosinophilia (φ = 0.19). In ulcerative colitis, decreased IgA correlated with egg white sIgE (φ = 0.3), as well as the presence of any (φ = 0.25) or multiple sIgEs (φ = 0.2); the latter correlated also with elevated IgG (φ = 0.22), fever (φ = 0.18), abdominal pain (φ = 0.16) and being underweight (φ = 0.15). Cow's milk sIgE correlated positively with growth impairment (φ = 0.15) and elevated IgG (φ = 0.17) and negatively with extensive colitis (φ = -0.15). Pancolitis correlated negatively with sIgE presence (φ = -0.15). In summary, single moderate and numerous weak but interesting relationships were observed.

Abstract
Food allergy is an aberrant immunological response to food antigen, which can result in potentially life-threatening reactions. It is often challenging to differentiate food allergy from other adverse reactions to food because their presentations can be indistinguishable. The purpose of this article is to give an overview of the classification, evaluation, and management of adverse food reactions, key differentiating features of food allergy, roles and limitations of various food allergy testing, and promising areas of emerging research. Case studies are used to highlight some of the clinical pearls in diagnosing and managing food-related diseases.

Abstract
The gut is among the most complex organs of the human body. It has to exert several functions including food and water absorption while setting up an efficient barrier to the outside world. Dysfunction of the gut can be life-threatening. Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract such as inflammatory bowel disease, infections, or colorectal cancer, therefore, pose substantial challenges to clinical care. The intestinal epithelium plays an important role in intestinal disease development. It not only establishes an important barrier against the gut lumen but also constantly signals information about the gut lumen and its composition to immune cells in the bowel wall. Such signaling across the epithelial barrier also occurs in the other direction. Intestinal epithelial cells respond to cytokines and other mediators of immune cells in the lamina propria and shape the microbial community within the gut by producing various antimicrobial peptides. Thus, the epithelium can be considered as an interpreter between the microbiota and the mucosal immune system, safeguarding and moderating communication to the benefit of the host. Type 2 immune responses play important roles in immune-epithelial communication. They contribute to gut tissue homeostasis and protect the host against infections with helminths. However, they are also involved in pathogenic pathways in inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. The current review provides an overview of current concepts regarding type 2 immune responses in intestinal physiology and pathophysiology.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic intestinal inflammation that is highly prevalent worldwide. Interleukin (IL)-10 can effectively inhibit negative cascades such as the production of inflammatory mediators (inducible nitric oxide synthase [iNOS], cyclooxygenase-2), accumulation of inflammatory infiltrates (macrophages, eosinophils, neutrophils), toxicity (lower T cell subsets), and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α) in tissues such as the spleen, mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN), Peyer's patch (PP), and colon. In this study, we investigated whether chlorogenic acid (CHA) can regulate inflammation in IL-10 knockout (KO) mice used as an IBD animal model. CHA significantly increased the ratio of CD4+/CD8+, T cell subsets in PP, and MLN of IL-10 KO mice. In addition, CHA also morphologically attenuated colon inflammation in IL-10 KO mice. We demonstrated that CHA significantly reduced the expression levels of iNOS, IL-1β, TNF-α, which were highly expressed in IL-10 KO mice. Therefore, CHA may provide beneficial effects for improving IBD by decreasing inflammations.

Abstract
Introduction There are many similarities between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and allergic diseases, including similar epidemiological data, pathomechanism, clinical course and even treatment methods. So far, many studies of IBD comorbidity with other diseases, including allergy, but mainly in adults, have been conducted. Aim To analyse the prevalence of allergic diseases, i.e. food allergy (FA), cow’s milk allergy (CMA), atopic dermatitis (AD), allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma in children with IBD. Material and methods The study included 105 IBD patients from the Department of Paediatrics, Allergology and Gastroenterology of Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz and 100 children without IBD from the Outpatient Clinics. The authors applied the validated questionnaire as a study method. Results At least one allergic disease was found in 26 (43%) IBD children. The allergological diagnosis was made in IBD children more frequently than in the control group (p = 0.04). The difference was more noticeable with regards to skin prick tests (p = 0.02). FA was the most common disease; it was noted in 19 (32%) IBD children; followed by: AD – in 13 (22%), CMA – in 12 (20%), AR – in 10 (17%) and asthma – in 6 (10%) children. The prevalence of allergic diseases in the control and study groups was comparable (p > 0.05). There was no correlation between age of IBD children and allergy (p > 0.05). Asthma was significantly more common in children undergoing biological treatment (p = 0.01). Conclusions Children with IBD should be constantly monitored by medical professionals, not only due to the underlying disease but also due to a possible concomitant allergic disease.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-33 belongs to IL-1 cytokine family which is constitutively produced from the structural and lining cells including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells of skin, gastrointestinal tract, and lungs that are exposed to the environment. Different from most cytokines that are actively secreted from cells, nuclear cytokine IL-33 is passively released during cell necrosis or when tissues are damaged, suggesting that it may function as an alarmin that alerts the immune system after endothelial or epithelial cell damage during infection, physical stress, or trauma. IL-33 plays important roles in type-2 innate immunity via activation of allergic inflammation-related eosinophils, basophils, mast cells, macrophages, and group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) through its receptor ST2. In this review, we focus on the recent advances of the underlying intercellular and intracellular mechanisms by which IL-33 can regulate the allergic inflammation in various allergic diseases including allergic asthma and atopic dermatitis. The future pharmacological strategy and application of traditional Chinese medicines targeting the IL-33/ST2 axis for anti-inflammatory therapy of allergic diseases were also discussed.

Abstract
The present study aimed to elucidate the effect of mast cells (MCs) and eosinophils (Eos) in trinitrobenzenosulphonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis in SD rats. A rat model of ulcerative colitis (UC) was established by intracolonic injection of 100 mg/kg TNBS (in 0.3 ml 50% ethanol). At 6, 11, 16, 21 days after TNBS injection, the rats were sacrificed to determine the colon injury scores, the counts, distribution, and ultrastructure of mast cells (MCs) and eosinophils (Eos), the concentration of whole blood, and colon histamine. The results showed that after TNBS injection, for 6 days, colon injury score was significantly increased in the distal colon of the rats (P < 0.01 vs. control), accompanied by markedly increased whole blood histamine level and Eos count (P < 0.01), but decreased colon histamine concentration (P < 0.01). At the following 11, 16, 21 days' detection, MCs count and colon histamine level were gradually increased while Eos count and blood histamine were decreased during 21 days' detection period. Furthermore, the correlation analysis revealed that the Eos counts were positively correlated with the colon injury score and blood histamine content (P < 0.05, respectively). The MCs count was negatively associated with the blood histamine content (P < 0.05), but positively associated with the colon tissue histamine content (P < 0.01). In conclusion, though no correlation was found between MCs and Eos counts in the TNBS-induced colitis in this study, their relationship with whole blood and colon histamine appear to play different roles in both the acute and repair stages of colitis.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) patients exhibit elevated histamine, but how histamine exacerbates disease is unclear as targeting histamine 1 receptor (H1R) or H2R is clinically ineffective. We hypothesized that histamine functioned instead through the other colon-expressed histamine receptor, H4R. In humans, UC patient biopsies exhibited increased H4R RNA and protein expression over control tissue, and immunohistochemistry showed that H4R was in proximity to immunopathogenic myeloperoxidase-positive neutrophils. To characterize this association further, we employed both the oxazolone (Ox)- and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced experimental colitis mouse models and also found upregulated H4R expression. Mast cell (MC)-derived histamine and H4R drove experimental colitis, as H4R-/- mice had lower symptom scores, neutrophil-recruitment mediators (colonic interleukin-6 (IL-6), CXCL1, CXCL2), and mucosal neutrophil infiltration than wild-type (WT) mice, as did MC-deficient KitW-sh/W-sh mice reconstituted with histidine decarboxylase-deficient (HDC-/-) bone marrow-derived MCs compared with WT-reconstituted mice; adaptive responses remained intact. Furthermore, Rag2-/- × H4R-/- mice had reduced survival, exacerbated colitis, and increased bacterial translocation than Rag2-/- mice, revealing an innate protective antibacterial role for H4R. Taken together, colonic MC-derived histamine initiates granulocyte infiltration into the colonic mucosa through H4R, suggesting alternative therapeutic targets beyond adaptive immunity for UC.

Abstract
Recent findings point toward diet having a major impact on human health. Diets can either affect the gut microbiota resulting in alterations in the host’s physiological responses or by directly targeting the host response. The microbial community in the mammalian gut is a complex and dynamic system crucial for the development and maturation of both systemic and mucosal immune responses. Therefore, the complex interaction between available nutrients, the microbiota, and the immune system are central regulators in maintaining homeostasis and fighting against invading pathogens at mucosal sites. Westernized diet, defined as high dietary intake of saturated fats and sucrose and low intake of fiber, represent a growing health risk contributing to the increased occurrence of metabolic diseases, e.g., diabetes and obesity in countries adapting a westernized lifestyle. Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and asthma are chronic mucosal inflammatory conditions of unknown etiology with increasing prevalence worldwide. These conditions have a multifactorial etiology including genetic factors, environmental factors, and dysregulated immune responses. Their increased prevalence cannot solely be attributed to genetic considerations implying that other factors such as diet can be a major contributor. Recent reports indicate that the gut microbiota and modifications thereof, due to a consumption of a diet high in saturated fats and low in fibers, can trigger factors regulating the development and/or progression of both conditions. While asthma is a disease of the airways, increasing evidence indicates a link between the gut and airways in disease development. Herein, we provide a comprehensive review on the impact of westernized diet and associated nutrients on immune cell responses and the microbiota and how these can influence the pathology of IBD and asthma.

Abstract
Vitamins are micronutrients which are essential for the maintenance of biological responses including immune system. Hence, vitamin deficiency increases a risk of infectious, allergic, and inflammatory diseases. Accumulating evidence has recently revealed the molecular and cellular mechanisms of vitamin-mediated regulation in the active and quiescent immune responses. In this review, we focus on the immunologic roles of vitamins in the regulation of homeostasis and surveillance in the gut.
