Immuno-Pathogenic Mechanisms Of IBD - Dr. Shnyra Flashcards
What happens in IBD
- Ulcerative Colitis : chronic inflammation and ulcers in innermost lining of colon + rectum
- Crohn’s Disease : inflammation GI lining spreading deep in to affected tissues (any part of GI, usually no rectum)
What 2 disease can seem like IBD only are not
Celiac Disease and IBS
IBD is what type of inflammation
Chronic relapsing idiopathic
= increased intestinal permeability
= irreversible impairments of function and structure of GI
What can increase incidence of IBD
Hyagien hypothesis = allergic and autoimmune diseases can
Reason permeability increases with IBD inflammation
Tight junctions are impaired and causes epithelial barrier to increase permeability
How does IBD happen or begin
The commensal bacteria of normal microbiota causes mucosal inflammation
= leading to bacteria crossing the mucosal barrier into immune cells activating innate and adaptive IS
= both cellular and humoral responses from this commensal bacteria
Main thing happening in Ulcerative colitis
Barrier is disrupted beginning the IBD
Main thing happening in Crohn’s disease
Microbe sensing by TLR in lamina Propria is disrupted beginning the IBD
SX CD
ABD pain , obstruction , fever
SX UC
Bloody D, urgency
CD where in GI
UC where in GI
CD : mouth to anus
UC : anus or rectum
CD pathology
Abscesses, fistulas, strictures, granulomas, transmural inflammation
UC Pathology
Pseudopolyps
Toxic megacolon
Mucosal / submucosal inflammation
DX CD
- Skip lesions
- Barium X -ray : String sign
- Cobblestone appearance = endoscopy
UC DX
- Ulcerations, edema, erythema or colon mucosa
- stool cultures
- Continuous disease
TX and outcome of CD and UC
CD : surgery, not curable
UC : surgery, curable
Lab tests that are positive in CD, and UC
CD : ASCA + (anti-saccharomyces cerevisioe Abs)
UC : pANCA +(pernuclear Anti- neutrophil cytoplasmic Abs)
Environmental factors in IBD percentage in UC andCD
CD : 50% rate of transmission
UC : 10% rate of transmission
IBD develops in what types of areas
High bacterial concentrated area like ileum and colon
LN in IBD
Reactivity ageists fecal Ags
Surgery and IBD
Diverge the fecal system past the IBD area can prevent inflammation
What can one eat that helps with IBD
Antibiotics and probiotics
Most common 2 bacteria in LI + 2 other ones that are still in there
- Firmicutes
- Bacteroidetes
- Actinobacteria
- Proteobacteria
Bacterial composition in UC
Most common is Proteobacteria and then some Bactroidets and firmicutes
Bacterial composition in CD
Mostly Firmicutes taking up everything then a lot of Actinobacteria also
Colitis in mouse with germ free environments
Don’t get IBD
mice in germ free environments get IBD how
Introduced to commensal bacteria
Or EVER HIGHE if IBD donor transplant
Cytokines most important to prevent IBD
IL10
Babies from IBD mothers
Have ow bacterial diversity and dysbiosis = alters adaptive immune system
