AbstractCurrent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) therapies are ineffective in a high proportion of patients. Combining bulk and single-cell transcriptomics, quantitative histopathology and in situ localization across three cohorts of patients with IBD (total n = 376), we identify coexpressed gene modules within the heterogeneous tissular inflammatory response in IBD that map to distinct histopathological and cellular features (pathotypes). One of these pathotypes is defined by high neutrophil infiltration, activation of fibroblasts and vascular remodeling at sites of deep ulceration. Activated fibroblasts in the ulcer bed display neutrophil-chemoattractant properties that are IL-1R, but not TNF, dependent. Pathotype-associated neutrophil and fibroblast signatures are increased in nonresponders to several therapies across four independent cohorts (total n = 343). The identification of distinct, localized, tissular pathotypes will aid precision targeting of current therapeutics and provides a biological rationale for IL-1 signaling blockade in ulcerating disease.

AbstractCurrent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) therapies are ineffective in a high proportion of patients. Combining bulk and single-cell transcriptomics, quantitative histopathology, and in situ localisation, we describe heterogeneity of the tissular inflammatory response in IBD treatment failure. Among inflammatory pathotypes, we found high neutrophil infiltration, activation of fibroblasts, and vascular remodelling at sites of deep ulceration was a feature of non-response to several anti-inflammatory therapies. Activated fibroblasts in the ulcer bed display neutrophil chemoattractant properties that are IL-1R- but not TNF-dependent. The identification of distinct, localised, tissular pathotypes associated with treatment non-response will aid precision targeting of current therapeutics and provide a biological rationale for IL-1 signalling blockade in ulcerating disease.

Background:Аnkylosing Spondylitis (AS) is closely associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). About 6-46% of patients with IBD have various lesions of the musculoskeletal system [1]. 5-10% of patients with spondylarthritis (SpA) eventually develop IBD, with Crohn’s disease (CD) being more common than Ulcerative colitis (UC) [2]. Determining the level of fecal calprotectin (FC) is a study that allows to diagnose IBD. The concentration of FC directly depends on the neutrophil infiltration of the intestinal mucosa and has a direct connection with the activity of the inflammatory process [3]. It is known that level of FC increases in 2/3 of patients with AS and is closely related to parameters reflecting higher disease activity [4].Objectives:The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of IBD in patients with AS using an assessment of FC level.Methods:In the analysis were included 40 patients with AS, fulfilling the modified New York criteria, among them man -26 (65%), woman -14 (35%), mean age of patients was 41.2 ±10.5, mean disease duration - 13±8.8 years. All patients were examined with ESR, CRP, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy and quantitative analysis of the fecal calprotectin levels using the method of lateral immunochromatography with the BUHLMANN Quantum Blue rapid test. Standart range: 100-1800 µg /g.Results:All patients had a high disease activity, mean BASDAI was 5.2 ± 1.7, mean ASDAS CRP 3.8 ± 1.1. 35 patients (87.5 %) had FC level more than 100 µg / g, the remaining 5 patients (12.5%) less than 100 µg /g. 12 patients (30 %) had FC level more than 1,800 µg / g, 23 (57.5 %) from 101 µg / g to 1800 µg / g. All patients with FC levels more than 100 µg / g showed an increase CRP (mean 28.4 mg / l) and ESR (mean 36.3 mm\h) levels. IBD were diagnosed in 9 cases (22.5%): 5 patients (12.5 %) with CD and 4 patients (10 %) - UC, in the remaining cases (77.5%) was no intestinal pathology.Conclusion:The results showed high frequency of IBD in patients with AS. Patients with high FC levels (more than 100 μg/g) had high disease activity (AS). In most cases, inflammatory bowel disease were diagnosed in patients with FC levels more than 100 µg/g.References:[1] Bernstein CN, Blanchard JF, Rawsthorne P, Yu N.

Aim. The incidence and clinical manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are thought to have gender differences, which suggests that the estrogen signaling pathway and intestinal flora may play key roles in the pathogenesis of IBD. In IBD, microRNA-155 (miR-155) is upregulated and regulates G protein coupled estrogen receptor (GPER1), which affects the intestinal flora. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of the estrogen receptors and miR-155 in the pathogenesis of IBD. Methods. From July 2018 to July 2019, in the Department of Gastroenterology at Daping Hospital, Army Military Medical University, a total of 50 patients with IBD were included in this study, and 24 healthy examinees were randomly selected as the control group. Colonoscopies were performed, and clinical characteristics and blood samples were collected from all of the subjects. The serum cytokine levels in the patients with IBD and the health donors were detected by ELISA, and the estrogen receptor level measurements for all of the participants were assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). The miR-155 levels were detected by qPCR in all of the participants, and miR-155−/− mice were used to investigate the mechanism of miR-155 in the pathogenesis of IBD. Results. The clinical characteristics and medications were different for the IBD patients when gender was considered. The male patients produced more proinflammatory cytokines, and while GPER1 expression was downregulated, miR-155 was upregulated in the patients with IBD. MiR-155 showed proinflammatory activity, while GPER1 showed an anti-inflammatory response during the pathogenesis of IBD. The miR-155−/− mice showed improvements in weight loss, survival, rectal bleeding, colon length, and histopathological changes compared with the wild-type mice. Furthermore, the male miR-155−/− mice showed increased inflammation compared to the female miR-155−/− mice in the above aspects. Conclusion. This study presents evidence indicating that miR-155 plays a key role in the pathogenesis of IBD for the different genders. MiR-155 was upregulated and showed proinflammatory activity, whereas GPER1 showed an anti-inflammatory response during the pathogenesis of IBD. The results demonstrated that more proinflammatory cytokines and reduced GPER1 levels were observed in the male IBD patients. Thus, miR-155 was involved in the regulation of GPER1 and induced gender differences in IBD patients. MiR-155 may be a potential marker for IBD-targeted therapy.

Neutrophils have been found to play an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and anti-TNF-α mAb (i.e., infliximab) therapy is demonstrated to be effective in the induction of clinical remission and mucosal healing in these patients. However, how anti-TNF-α mAb regulates the functions of neutrophils is still unknown. Herein, we found that anti-TNF-α therapy significantly downregulated infiltration of neutrophils in inflamed mucosa of IBD patients. Importantly, anti-TNF-α mAb could inhibit neutrophils to produce proinflammatory mediators, such as ROS, calprotectin, IL-8, IL-6, and TNF-α. These data indicate that TNF-α plays a critical role in the induction of mucosal inflammatory response, and that blockade of TNF-α modulates intestinal homeostasis through balancing immune responses of neutrophils.
