Inflammatory Bowel Diseases CD UC • Segmental inflammation involving full thickness of any part of GI tract • Immunologic ProfileTH1/17: IL-12, 17, 23, IFNg activated innate pathways (IL-1b, IL-6, TNF) • Diffuse inflammation limited to the mucosa of the colon, involves rectum • Immunologic Profile TH2: IL-13, activated innate pathways (IL-1b, IL-6, TNF, IL-12, IL-23) Genes HLA NOD 2 MDR1a ATG16L1 IL-23R IL-23R
2 patients with Crohn’s disease: similar presentations, different outcomes Onset: Two 12 y/o boys with failure to grow for one year, anemia weight loss, abdominal pain, nonbloody diarrhea Evaluation: Ileal Crohn’s disease Treatment: Prednisone, 6MP Patient APatient B Benign course Complications: Feels well, no flares intra-abdominal abscess, …………………………. drained, resection of 14” ileum Post op Infliximab
How to predict which patient will: • Have an aggressive course? • Respond to a potential treatment? • Have complications of disease or therapy? Understand mechanisms of disease in an individual at time of diagnosis Genetic, microbial, immunologic profiles and clinical phenotype

Etiologic Hypothesis of Crohn’s Disease (2014) • Chronic intestinal inflammation is due to overly aggressive TH1/17 cell responses to a subset of luminal bacteria • Susceptibility is determined by genes that encode immune responses, mucosal barrier function or bacterial clearance • Onset/reactivation is triggered by environmental stimuli that transiently break the mucosal barrier and initiate inflammation

Antibiotic use in childhood is a risk factor for developing Crohn’s disease (Anders Hviid et al, Gut 60:49-54, 2011) Prospective, nationwide cohort study of children born between 1995 – 2003 in Denmark (N= 577,622) Findings: Relative risk increased for IBD (1.84), and selectively for Crohn’s disease (RR 3.41), but not UC Time and dose response: dx within 3 months (RR 4.43) and >7 courses of antibiotics( RR 7.32) Conclusion: Unknown causal relationship or association with IBD symptoms before diagnosis?

Clinical evidence (mostly correlative)that enteric bacteria, viruses or fungi can induce Crohn’s disease • Disease located in areas of highest bacterial populations • Increased mucosal association and translocation • Abnormal composition commensals- dysbiosis • Certain CD- associated genes alter gut microbiota and bacterial killing • Infections can induce flares of IBD (C. diff toxin, CMV) • Fecal stream diversion prevents CD relapse, disease recurs upon restoration of fecal flow • Manipulating bacterial populations treats certain subsets • Microbe-specific serologic and T cell responses
