    Abstract Despite the longstanding awareness of the presence of mesenteric alterations in Crohn's disease, the functional and clinical consequences of these alterations remain a topic of debate. Guidelines advise a limited resection without resection of the adjacent mesentery to prevent short bowel syndrome and postoperative complications. However, recently mesenteric resection has been proposed as an alternative to reduce recurrence rates in Crohn's disease patients. Here, we evaluate the data available on this topic in terminal ileitis, both from a fundamental research point of view and clinical perspective.

    Abstract SARS-CoV-2, the causative virus of COVID-19, continues to threaten global public health. COVID-19 is a multi-organ disease, causing not only respiratory distress, but also extrapulmonary manifestations, including gastrointestinal symptoms with SARS-CoV-2 RNA shedding in stool long after respiratory clearance. Despite global vaccination and existing antiviral treatments, variants of concern are still emerging and circulating. Of note, new Omicron BA.5 sublineages both increasingly evade neutralizing antibodies and demonstrate an increased preference for entry via the endocytic entry route. Alternative to direct-acting antivirals, host-directed therapies interfere with host mechanisms hijacked by viruses, and enhance cell-mediated resistance with a reduced likelihood of drug resistance development. Here, we demonstrate that the autophagy-blocking therapeutic berbamine dihydrochloride robustly prevents SARS-CoV-2 acquisition by human intestinal epithelial cells via an autophagy-mediated BNIP3 mechanism. Strikingly, berbamine dihydrochloride exhibited pan-antiviral activity against Omicron subvariants BA.2 and BA.5 at nanomolar potency, providing a proof of concept for the potential for targeting autophagy machinery to thwart infection of current circulating SARS-CoV-2 subvariants. Furthermore, we show that autophagy-blocking therapies limited virus-induced damage to intestinal barrier function, affirming the therapeutic relevance of autophagy manipulation to avert the intestinal permeability associated with acute COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 syndrome. Our findings underscore that SARS-CoV-2 exploits host autophagy machinery for intestinal dissemination and indicate that repurposed autophagy-based antivirals represent a pertinent therapeutic option to boost protection and ameliorate disease pathogenesis against current and future SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern.

    Abstract At the end of the suckling period, many mammalian species undergo major changes in the intestinal epithelium that are associated with the capability to digest solid food. This process is termed suckling-to-weaning transition and results in the replacement of neonatal epithelium with adult epithelium which goes hand in hand with metabolic and morphological adjustments. These complex developmental changes are the result of a genetic program that is intrinsic to the intestinal epithelial cells but can, to some extent, be modulated by extrinsic factors. Prolonged culture of mouse primary intestinal epithelial cells from late fetal period, recapitulates suckling-to-weaning transition in vitro. Here, we describe a detailed protocol for mouse fetal intestinal organoid culture best suited to model this process in vitro. We describe several useful assays designed to monitor the change of intestinal functions associated with suckling-to-weaning transition over time. Additionally, we include an example of an extrinsic factor that is capable to affect suckling-to-weaning transition in vivo, as a representation of modulating the timing of suckling-to-weaning transition in vitro. This in vitro approach can be used to study molecular mechanisms of the suckling-to-weaning transition as well as modulators of this process. Importantly, with respect to animal ethics in research, replacing in vivo models by this in vitro model contributes to refinement of animal experiments and possibly to a reduction in the use of animals to study gut maturation processes.

    Abstract The ATG16L1 T300A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is associated with Crohn's disease and causes an autophagy impairment. We have previously shown that this SNP is involved in the migration and hyperactivation of Rac1 in dendritic cells. Mucosal healing, currently the main target for inflammatory bowel disease treatment, depends on restoration of the epithelial barrier and requires appropriate migration of epithelial cells towards and over mucosal lesions. Therefore, we here further investigated the impact of autophagy on epithelial migration. ATG16L1 knockdown was established in the HT29 human colonic epithelial cell line using lentiviral transduction. Migratory capacity was evaluated using scratch assays and RhoAGTP was measured using G-LISA. Immunofluorescent ARHGAP18 and sequestome 1 (SQSTM1; also known as p62) staining was performed on HT29 cells and primary colonic tissue of Crohn's disease patients. We observed that ATG16L1 knockdown cells exhibited decreased autophagy and decreased migration capacity. Furthermore, activity of RhoA was decreased. These characteristics were phenocopied using ATG5 knockdown and pharmacological inhibition of autophagy. The migration defect was dependent on accumulation of SQSTM1 and was alleviated upon SQSTM1 knockdown. Strikingly, thiopurines also mitigated the effects of impaired autophagy. RhoA dysregulation appeared mediated through accumulation of the upstream regulator ARHGAP18, which was observed in cell lines, human foetal organoids and primary colonic tissue. Our results indicate that the ATG16L1 T300A Crohn's disease-associated SNP causes a decrease in migration capacity in epithelial cells, mediated by an increase in SQSTM1 and ARHGAP18 protein and subsequent reduced RhoA activation.

    Abstract Background: Previous studies have indicated that the appendix may be a priming site of ulcerative colitis (UC). Appendectomy is inversely associated with the development of UC, and is suggested to have a beneficial effect on the disease course in patients with refractory disease.
    Objective: The aim of the current study was to assess histological features of appendices from patients with UC and their clinical relevance.
    Methods: Patients with UC in remission and active UC (therapy refractory) that underwent appendectomy between 2012 and 2019 were included. Histological features of UC appendices were compared to those of patients with acute appendicitis and colon carcinoma. The Robarts Histopathology Index (RHI) was used to assess appendiceal inflammation. In patients with active UC, histological and clinical characteristics were compared between patients with and without endoscopic response following appendectomy.
    Results: In total, 140 appendix specimens were assessed (n = 35 UC remission, n = 35 active UC, n = 35 acute appendicitis, n = 35 colon carcinoma). Histological features of appendices from UC patients looked like UC rather than acute appendicitis. The presence of active appendiceal inflammation was comparable between patients in remission versus active disease (53.7% vs. 46.3%, p = 0.45) and limited versus extensive disease (58.5% vs. 41.5%, p = 0.50). Endoscopic response (Mayo 0-1) following appendectomy, assessed in 28 therapy refractory patients, was more frequently seen in patients with higher RHI scores (RHI > 6: 81.8% vs. RHI ≤ 6: 9.1%, p = 0.03) and limited disease (proctitis/left sided 63.6% vs. pancolitis 36.4%, p = 0.02).
    Conclusion: The presence of active appendiceal inflammation is common in UC and does not correlate with colonic disease activity. More than 50% of UC patients in remission showed active histological disease in the appendix. Favorable response to appendectomy for refractory UC was seen in cases with ulcerative appendicitis. These findings might support the role of the appendix as a pivotal organ in UC.

    Abstract Background and aims: Pouchitis is a common complication following formation of an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis [IPAA] after proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis [UC]. Gut-specific lymphocyte trafficking mechanisms have been identified as players in the pathogenesis of UC. In the present study, we aimed to characterise the presence of lymphocyte subsets expressing gut-homing molecules in pouches and peripheral blood of UC patients with and without pouchitis.
    Methods: Biopsy samples and peripheral blood were collected from 29 patients with an IPAA [seven with active inflammation, 22 without inflammation]. Expression of adhesion molecule MAdCAM-1 was assessed using immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry was used to characterise expression of integrin α4β7, C-chemokine receptor 9 [CCR9], and CD103 on T cell subsets.
    Results: MAdCAM-1 expression was significantly increased in case of active inflammation in the pouch. T cells expressing integrin α4β7 were abundant in the pouch mucosa, but the frequency of integrin α4β7-expressing T cells was decreased on CD4+ lymphocytes during inflammation. Co-expression of gut-homing markers CCR9 and α4β7 was more pronounced in biopsies compared with peripheral blood, but was not enhanced upon active inflammation.
    Conclusions: Gut-homing T cells are abundant in pouch mucosa, but the classic hypothesis that the chronic inflammatory state is maintained by an accumulation of α4β7-expressing effector T cells is not supported by our data.
