Tissue-specific reprogramming leads to angiogenic neutrophil specialization and tumor vascularization in colorectal cancer
Neutrophil (PMN) tissue accumulation is an established feature of ulcerative colitis (UC) lesions and colorectal cancer (CRC). To assess the PMN phenotypic and functional diversification during the transition from inflammatory ulceration to CRC we analyzed the transcriptomic landscape of blood and tissue PMNs. Transcriptional programs effectively separated PMNs based on their proximity to peripheral blood, inflamed colon, and tumors. In silico pathway overrepresentation analysis, protein-network mapping, gene signature identification, and gene-ontology scoring revealed unique enrichment of angiogenic and vasculature develo...

Automated Spatial Omics Landscape Analysis Approach Reveals Novel Tissue Architectures in Ulcerative Colitis
Res Sq [Preprint]. 2024 Mar 11:rs.3.rs-3965505. doi: 10.21203/rs.3.rs-3965505/v1.ABSTRACTThe utility of spatial omics in leveraging cellular interactions in normal and diseased states for precision medicine is hampered by a lack of strategies for matching disease states with spatial heterogeneity-guided cellular annotations. Here we use a spatial context-dependent approach that matches spatial pattern detection to cell annotation. Using this approach in existing datasets from ulcerative colitis patient colonic biopsies, we identified architectural complexities and associated difficult-to-detect rare cell types in ulcerativ...

Impact of cytomegalovirus on outcomes in acute severe ulcerative colitis: a retrospective observational study
CONCLUSION: CMV positivity was associated with worse outcomes of need for rescue therapy, hospital stay and readmissions. Antiviral therapy was not found to reduce the risk of colectomy but did extend the time to colectomy. Further prospective studies will be required to more clearly determine its benefit in patients with concomitant CMV and ASUC.PMID:38560721 | PMC:PMC10981253 | DOI:10.1177/20406223241233203 (Source: Adv Data)

Polysaccharides from an edible mushroom, Hericium erinaceus, alleviate ulcerative colitis in mice by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasomes and reestablish intestinal homeostasis
This study aimed to assess the effects of polysaccharides extracted from Hericium erinaceus fruiting bodies (HEFPs) on the inflammatory response to oxidative stress in a mouse model of ulcerative colitis (UC) induced by ingestion of dextran sodium sulfate. The results indicated reduced oxidative damage in the HEFPs groups, as evidenced by significantly decreased malondialdehyde levels and significantly increased levels of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase in colon homogenates, compared with those in the Model Control (MC) group. Additionally, compared with the levels in the MC group, the levels of t...

Tissue-resident memory T (Trm) cells are implicated in CD, yet their characteristics remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the transcriptional profiles and functional characteristics of Trm cells in the small bowel of CD and their interactions with immune cells. Seven patients with CD and four with ulcerative colitis as controls were included. Single-cell RNA sequencing and paired T cell receptor sequencing assessed T cell subsets and transcr...
