Differential expression of mucosal trefoil factors and mucins in pediatric inflammatory bowel diseases
In the intestinal mucosa trefoil factors (TFF) and mucins (Muc) - primarily produced by goblet cells - are thought to play a major role in providing barrier function during infection and inflammation. To investigate their role in pediatric Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) we obtained mucosal biopsies of children with CD, UC and healthy controls and analyzed genetic expression. L...
متن کاملSerum human trefoil factor 3 is a biomarker for mucosal healing in ulcerative colitis patients with minimal disease activity.
BACKGROUND The goals of treating ulcerative colitis (UC) have shifted from clinical remission to mucosal healing. Non-invasive biomarkers are required to assess mucosal healing as endoscopic assessment is inconvenient for patients. Enhanced expression of trefoil factor 3 (TFF3, a mucin-associated peptide) is observed after injury of the gastrointestinal tract. The present study was designed to ...
متن کاملMucosal healing and mortality in coeliac disease.
BACKGROUND Coeliac disease (CD), characterised by the presence of villous atrophy (VA) in the small intestine, is associated with increased mortality, but it is unknown if mortality is influenced by mucosal recovery. AIMS To determine whether persistent VA is associated with mortality in CD. METHODS Through biopsy reports from all pathology departments (n = 28) in Sweden, we identified 7648...
متن کاملDepressive symptoms predict mucosal wound healing.
OBJECTIVE There is mounting evidence that psychosocial stress can delay wound healing, but this literature almost exclusively pertains to dermal wound healing. Many surgical procedures involve damage to mucosal tissues and the time course and the role of repair processes, such as inflammation, in the healing of these tissues are markedly different from those in dermal healing. Feelings of depre...
متن کاملTargeting mucosal healing in Crohn's disease.
The goal of medical treatment for Crohn's disease includes improving patients' quality of life while reducing the need for hospitalization and surgery. The current medical armamentarium includes 5-aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, and biologic agents. In the past, response to treatment was measured by clinical improvement in symptoms; however, with the advent of disease-modif...
