Background Antitumor necrosis alpha (TNFα) therapy is often used in the management of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and may have effects on lymphoid tissue architecture and function. The goal of our study was to characterize the effects of TNFα inhibitors on mesenteric lymph node and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue in patients with IBD. Methods We examined lymphoid tissue morphology in IBD patients treated with TNFα inhibitors compared to untreated controls. Intestinal resections from 19 patients (10 anti-TNFα treated and 9 controls) were reviewed. Immunohistochemistry for CD21, CD20, and CD3 was performed on ileocecal valve lymphoid tissue and mesenteric lymph nodes from the resection specimens to assess follicular architecture. Results Relative to control groups, TNFα-treated groups showed less preserved germinal center architecture, evidenced by lower overall semiquantitative scores for follicular architecture. Likewise, the percentage of secondary follicles to total follicles was decreased in patients treated with TNFα blockade. Conclusions Our results suggest that TNFα inhibitors may play a role in disruption of lymphoid germinal center architecture in patients with IBD. Awareness of this disrupted lymphoid morphology when examining histologic sections from patients with IBD treated with TNFα inhibitors may prevent unnecessary studies to exclude a lymphoproliferative disorder.

Epigenetic dysregulation is hypothesized to play a role in the observed association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colon tumor development. In the present work, DNA methylome, hydroxymethylome, and transcriptome analyses were conducted in proximal colon tissues harvested from the Helicobacter hepaticus (H. hepaticus)-infected murine model of IBD. Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) and oxidative RRBS (oxRRBS) analyses identified 1606 differentially methylated regions (DMR) and 3011 differentially hydroxymethylated regions (DhMR). These DMR/DhMR overlapped with genes that are associated with gastrointestinal disease, inflammatory disease, and cancer. RNA-seq revealed pronounced expression changes of a number of genes associated with inflammation and cancer. Several genes including Duox2, Tgm2, Cdhr5, and Hk2 exhibited changes in both DNA methylation/hydroxymethylation and gene expression levels. Overall, our results suggest that chronic inflammation triggers changes in methylation and hydroxymethylation patterns in the genome, altering the expression of key tumorigenesis genes and potentially contributing to the initiation of colorectal cancer.
