Cytokines play an important role in the immunopathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, where they drive and regulate multiple aspects of intestinal inflammation. The imbalance between proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines that occurs in IBD results in disease progression and tissue damage and limits the resolution of inflammation. Targeting cytokines have been novel strategies in the treatment of IBD. Recent studies show the beneficial effects of anticytokine treatments to IBD patients, and multiple novel cytokines are found to be involved in the pathogenesis of IBD. In this review, we will discuss the recent advances of novel biologics in clinics and clinical trials, and novel proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines found in IBD with focusing on IL-12 family and IL-1 family members as well as their relevance to the potential therapy of IBD.

Abstract Background Parasitic helminths are known for their exceptional ability to modulate the host immune response in order to favour their survival. The excretory/secretory products (ESP), from Trichuris and Ascaris species are of keen interest for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis patients have benefitted from the administration of ova of T. suis in clinical trials, whereby symptoms were remediated through the ingestion of parasite ova, which subsequently hatch in the intestine. Our previous work has demonstrated the ability of T. suis ESP to downregulate secretion of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-12) and increase the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10) in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages. Aims This research aims to unveil the mechanisms of immune modulation by parasitic helminths in the context of IBD. We aim to characterize the cellular response in vitro, as well as the systemic response in vivo, in order to better characterize the scope of immune modulation that occurs with treatment. Methods Human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) monocytes were purified and treated with helminth-derived products. The products were removed, and fresh media was added containing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to stimulate cells. Supernatants were collected for cytokine analysis and cells were lysed and frozen. Mice were given 3% DSS or regular water for five days, and subsequently administered treatment with helminth-derived products, or a PBS control, once daily by intraperitoneal injection for 3–4 days. Weights were measured daily. On day 9 mice were sacrificed, colons lengths were measured, and spleens were collected for further analysis. Results We found that human PBMC monocytes treated with the ESP from T. suis and A. suum had decreased secretion of inflammatory cytokines (TNFα) and increased secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10). Additionally, we found that heminth products from A. suum had the ability to reverse the symptoms of weight loss and colon shrinking in DSS-mice compared to the control. Specifically, mice with DSS-induced colitis treated with metabolites increased their weight more than the PBS control (P < 0.0001) and had a longer colon compared to the PBS control (P < 0.001). Conclusions Taken together, these data generate an interest for intestinal helminth products as immunomodulators regarding treatment for patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Inflammatory bowel disease is characterized by extensive intestinal inflammation, and therapies against the disease target suppression of the inflammatory cascade. Nutrition has been closely linked to the development and suppression of inflammatory bowel disease, which to a large extent is attributed to the complex immunomodulatory properties of nutrients. Diets containing fish have been suggested to promote health and suppress inflammatory diseases. Even though most of the health-promoting properties of fish-derived nutrients are attributed to fish oil, the potential health-promoting properties of fish protein have not been investigated. Fish sidestreams contain large amounts of proteins, currently unexploited, with potential anti-inflammatory properties, and may possess additional benefits through bioactive peptides and free amino acids. In this project, we utilized fish protein hydrolysates, based on mackerel and salmon heads and backbones, as well as flounder skin collagen. Mice fed with a diet supplemented with different fish sidestream-derived protein hydrolysates (5% w/w) were exposed to the model of DSS-induced colitis. The results show that dietary supplements containing protein hydrolysates from salmon heads suppressed chemically-induced colitis development as determined by colon length and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. To evaluate colitis severity, we measured the expression of different pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines and found that the same supplement suppressed the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNFα and the chemokines Cxcl1 and Ccl3. We also assessed the levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and Tgfb and found that selected protein hydrolysates induced their expression. Our findings demonstrate that protein hydrolysates derived from fish sidestreams possess anti-inflammatory properties in the model of DSS-induced colitis, providing a novel underexplored source of health-promoting dietary supplements.

Diet plays a pivotal role in the onset and course of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Patients are keen to know what to eat to reduce symptoms and flares, but dietary guidelines are lacking. To advice patients, an overview of the current evidence on food (group) level is needed. This narrative review studies the effects of food (groups) on the onset and course of IBD and if not available the effects in healthy subjects or animal and in vitro IBD models. Based on this evidence the Groningen anti-inflammatory diet (GrAID) was designed and compared on food (group) level to other existing IBD diets. Although on several foods conflicting results were found, this review provides patients a good overview. Based on this evidence, the GrAID consists of lean meat, eggs, fish, plain dairy (such as milk, yoghurt, kefir and hard cheeses), fruit, vegetables, legumes, wheat, coffee, tea and honey. Red meat, other dairy products and sugar should be limited. Canned and processed foods, alcohol and sweetened beverages should be avoided. This comprehensive review focuses on anti-inflammatory properties of foods providing IBD patients with the best evidence on which foods they should eat or avoid to reduce flares. This was used to design the GrAID.
