CADHERIN-11, AN ESSENTIAL REGULATOR OF CELL-CELL ADHESION UPREGULATED IN IBD PATIENTS, PLAYS ESSENTIAL ROLES IN PROMOTING FIBROBLAST ACTIVATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF INTESTINAL INFLAMMATION AND FIBROSIS
Intestinal fibrosis is a severe complication of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) leading to intestinal strictures and need for surgery. No effective anti-fibrotic therapy is available. Cadherin-11 (Cad-11) is an adherens junction protein, which is upr… Continue reading
TARGETING SIDEROPHORES TO REDUCE COLONIZATION OF ADHERENT INVASIVE E. COLI IN CROHN’S DISEASE
The pathovar adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) is a mucosa-associated bacterium that is frequently found in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD), but targeted treatment options are currently lacking. During intestinal inflammation, host-mediated … Continue reading
OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND IBD: ULCERATIVE COLITIS VERSUS CROHN’S DISEASE- AN ANALYSIS OF THE NATIONAL INPATIENT SAMPLE 2015–2017
There is a scarcity of data on the influence of sex, race, insurance status on mortality, hospital length of stay (LOS), and total hospital charges for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) versus patients with Cro… Continue reading
OBSTRUCTED LYMPHATIC TRANSPORT AND LEAKAGE DRIVEN BY MESENTERIC TERTIARY LYMPHOID ORGANS IS A FEATURE OF CROHN’S DISEASE MOUSE MODEL
Pioneer reports of Crohn’s disease (CD) suggested that impaired lymphatic flow might drive its pathogenesis but remains unsettled. Nodules of tertiary lymphoid organs (TLO) are found in association with collecting lymphatic vessels (CLVs) of the mesent… Continue reading
MINIMAL INVASIVE MANAGEMENT OF PEDIATRIC CROHN’S ANORECTAL STRICTURE, LESS IS MORE
Anorectal stricture (ARS) is an uncommon but potentially disabling manifestation of perianal Crohn disease (CD) in pediatric patients. Various treatment options are available but there is little data regarding their efficacy, particularly in the pediat… Continue reading
NEUTROPHILS ALTER DSB REPAIR PATHWAY IN INFLAMED MUCOSA TO PROMOTE COLON CARCINOGENESIS
Due to exacerbated inflammation and recurring tissue injury patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) are at higher risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC). Although, PMN infiltration of the intestinal mucosa is a hallmark of IBD, and is associ… Continue reading
IDENTIFYING INADEQUATE RESPONSE AMONG CROHN’S DISEASE PATIENTS ON A BIOLOGIC IN A REAL-WORLD ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS DATABASE
The purpose of this analysis was to assess the frequency of inadequate response (IR) over 1 year from biologic initiation among Crohn’s disease (CD) patients in the United States using a claims-based algorithm. Baseline factors associated with IR to a … Continue reading
GPR120 MAINTAINS INTESTINAL HOMEOSTASIS THROUGH REGULATION OF CD4+ T CELL IL-10 PRODUCTION
Irregular CD4+ effector T cell responses play an essential role in the intestinal inflammation, while IL-10 produced by effector T cells limits their pathogenesis to maintain the intestinal homeostasis. Dietary free fatty acids are actively involved in… Continue reading
A NOVEL LANGERIN EXPRESSING TYPE 2-CONVENTIONAL DENDRITIC CELL IS SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED IN CROHN’S DISEASE
Crohn’s disease is a chronic relapsing auto-inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract that primarily affects young individuals with an increasing incidence rate. There is still no cure for Crohn’s disease and current treatment-options are li… Continue reading
TRANSFER RNA QUEUOSINE MODIFICATION ENZYME MANIPULATES TIGHT JUNCTION PROTEINS IN INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE
Transfer RNA (tRNA) queuosine (Q)-modification occur at the wobble anticodon position of four special cellular tRNAs. In eukaryotes, tRNA-Q modification relies on the intestinal microbial product queuine and eukaryotic tRNA-guanine transglycosylase com… Continue reading
