P146 NOD2 IS REQUIRED FOR RECOVERY AGAINST MYCOBIOTA-DRIVEN INTESTINAL DISEASE AND FOR GENERATION OF PROTECTIVE TYPE 1 AND 3 HOST RESPONSES

The microbiota has emerged as a critical contributor to intestinal inflammatory diseases, however most studies have focused on bacteria despite the presence of fungi. Several clinical and experimental observations have shown that the mycobiota are impo… Continue reading

P147 NOVEL JUNCTIONAL ADHESION MOLECULE-LIKE (JAML) REGULATES NEUTROPHIL TRANSEPITHELIAL MIGRATION DURING INTESTINAL INFLAMMATION

Neutrophil (PMN) migration in the intestine is an essential component of host defense and wound repair. However, dysregulated PMN recruitment is a hallmark of chronic active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by persistent inflammation. Dis… Continue reading

P148 ROLE OF IL-33-DEPENDENT INNATE IMMUNE RESPONSES IN COLITIS-ASSOCIATED CANCER

IBD patients have an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer, however, the immune cells and cytokines that mediate the transition from intestinal inflammation to cancer are poorly understood. Mucosal IL-33 is increased in UC patients, in additio… Continue reading

P149 TARGETING OF THE INTESTINAL GLYCAN SLEA INCREASES BARRIER INTEGRITY, REDUCED INFLAMMATION DURING COLITIS AND IMPROVES COLONIC MUCOSAL WOUND HEALING

Dysregulated neutrophil (PMN) trafficking into the mucosa and associated tissue damage is a pathological hallmark of numerous human diseases including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In addition to excessive trafficking of PMN, mucosal inflammation i… Continue reading

P150 THE HUMAN FC GAMMA RIIA H131 POLYMORPHISM IS A NEONATAL RECEPTOR (FCRN)-DEPENDENT HIGH RESPONDER VARIANT IN INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE

Human FcγRIIa (CD32a) contains a prevalent and clinically relevant polymorphism, possessing either a histidine (H) (CD32aH)- or arginine (R) (CD32aR) at amino acid position 131. Individuals expressing the CD32aH variant have higher risk of Crohn’s d… Continue reading

P151 THE LONG NON-CODING RNA, IFNG-AS1/NEST, IS ASSOCIATED WITH IBD AND DRIVES A PRO-INFLAMMATORY SIGNALING CASCADE

The output of genomic transcriptional activity primarily results in the production of non-coding RNA transcripts. However, their role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathophysiology has yet to be determined. Our previous work identified IFNG-AS1/Ne… Continue reading

P152 ANALYSIS OF HUMAN COLONIC TISSUE AND PERIPHERAL BLOOD BY MASS CYTOMETRY REVEALS IMMUNE SIGNATURES DIFFERENTIATING INFLAMMATORY STATES IN UC, CD, AND CONTROLS

Intro: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), consisting of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), leads to chronic intestinal inflammation associated with significant morbidity. The underlying mucosal dysregulation is not entirely understood… Continue reading

P153 LOSS OF NEUTROPHIL EXTRACELLULAR TRAPS VIA PEPTIDYL ARGININE DEIMINASE-4 DEFICIENCY AGGRAVATES CITROBACTER RODENTIUM- INDUCED GUT INFLAMMATION

Citrobacter rodentium (CR) is an attaching-effacing enteropathogen which infects mice and causes intestinal inflammation. The CR infection model is appropriate for investigating host-pathogen interactions in the gut and understanding the pathogenesis o… Continue reading

P154 SINGLE-CELL ANALYSIS OF T CELL PATHOGENESIS IN PEDIATRIC CROHN’S DISEASE

Crohn’s disease (CD) is chronic complex autoimmune condition characterized by inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Pediatric CD diagnosed in patients younger than 20 years of age comprises 30% of all diagnosed CD. There is significant data to … Continue reading
