Substance P Mediates Proinflammatory Cytokine Release From Mesenteric Adipocytes in Inflammatory Bowel Disease PatientsSummary

Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2015
Background & Aims: Substance P (SP) neurokinin-1 receptors (NK-1Rs) are expressed in mesenteric preadipocytes, and SP binding activates proinflammatory signaling in these cells. We evaluated the expression levels of SP (Tac-1), NK-1R (Tacr-1), and NK-2R (

Identification of a Novel Substance P–Neurokinin-1 Receptor MicroRNA-221-5p Inflammatory Network in Human Colonic Epithelial CellsSummary

Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2015
Background & Aims: Substance P (SP), a neuropeptide member of the tachykinin family, plays a critical role in colitis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression.

Assessment of Circulating MicroRNAs for the Diagnosis and Disease Activity Evaluation in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis by Using the Nanostring Technology [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Clinical decision and patient care management in inflammatory bowel diseases is largely based on the assessment of clinical symptoms, while the biomarkers currently in use poorly reflect the actual disease activity.

Mesenteric excision surgery or conservative limited resection in Crohn’s disease: study protocol for an international, multicenter, randomized controlled trial

Trials, 2020
Background The structures of the mesentery including adipose tissue, nerves, and lymphatics play an important role in the pathogenesis and disease progression of Crohn’s disease (CD).

Cytokines in inflammatory bowel disease [PDF]

Mediators of Inflammation, 1997
Over the past decade, much has been learned regarding the role of various cytokines in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. Several cytokine ‘knockout’ models in mice have been shown to develop colitis, while alterations in the production of various cytokines has been documented in human Crohn′s disease and ulcerative colitis.

CT enterography for evaluation of disease activity in patients with ileocolonic Crohn's disease

BMC Gastroenterology, 2022
Background CT enterography (CTE) is used routinely for assessment of activity and severity in Crohn's disease (CD), but there are few CTE scoring systems.

Fibrotic and Vascular Remodelling of Colonic Wall in Patients with Active Ulcerative Colitis [PDF]

, 2016
open16noIntestinal fibrosis is a complication of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. Although fibrostenosis is a rare event in ulcerative colitis [UC], there is evidence that a fibrotic rearrangement of the colon occurs in the later stages.
