- BACKGROUND: Success in personalised medicine in complex disease is critically dependent on biomarker discovery. We profiled serum proteins using a novel proximity extension assay (PEA) to identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).METHODS: We conducted a prospective case-control study in an inception cohort of 552 patients (328 IBD, 224 non-IBD), profiling proteins recruited across 6 centres. Treatment escalation was characterised by the need for biological agents or surgery after initial disease remission. Nested leave-one-out cross validation was used to examine the performance of diagnostic and prognostic proteins.RESULTS: A total of 66 serum proteins differentiated IBD from symptomatic non-IBD controls including MMP-12 (Holm adjusted p=4.1×10 -23 ) and OSM (p=3.7×10 -16). Nine of these proteins associate with cis- germline variation (59 independent SNPs). Fifteen proteins, all members of TNF independent pathways including IL-1 and OSM predicted escalation, over a median follow-up of 518 (IQR 224-756) days. Nested cross-validation of the entire data set allows characterisation of 5-protein-models (96% comprising five core proteins ITGAV, EpCAM, IL18, SLAMF7, and IL8) which define a high-risk subgroup in IBD (HR 3.90, CI: 2.43-6.26), or allows distinct 2, and 3 protein models for UC and CD respectively.CONCLUSION: We have characterised a simple oligo-protein panel that has the potential to identify IBD from symptomatic controls and to predict future disease course. Further prospective work is required to validate our findings.

- Method: We examined faecal samples, using the GA-map (TM) Dysbiosis Test, to associate gut microbiota composition with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) and to identify markers for future biomarker identification. We conducted a prospective case-control study (EU-ref. no. 305676) in an inception cohort of 324 individuals (64 CD, 84 UC, 116 symptomatic non-IBD controls and 44 healthy controls) across five European centres and examined 54 predetermined bacterial markers. We categorized patients according to the Montreal Classification and calculated the dysbiosis index (DI). Non-parametric tests were used to compare groups and the Bonferroni correction to adjust for multiple comparisons.Results: The fluorescent signals (FSSs) for Firmicutes and Eubacterium hallii were lower in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) vs. symptomatic controls (p<.05). FSS for Firmicutes, Lachnospiraceae, Eubacterium hallii and Ruminococcus albus/bromii were lower, whereas the signal fo rBacteroides Fragilis was higher in UC vs. symptomatic controls (p<.05). FSS was higher for Bifidobacterium spp., Eubacterium hallii, Actinobacteria and Firmicutes among patients with ulcerative proctitis, compared to extensive colitis (p<.05). In CD, we observed no association with disease location. The DI correlated with faecal-calprotectin in both CD and in UC (p<.001). In terms of treatment escalation and anti-TNF response, differences were observed for some bacterial markers, but none of these associations were statistically significant.Conclusion: Our data reveal that the GA-map (TM) Dysbiosis Test holds the potential to characterize the faecal microbiota composition and to assess the degree of dysbiosis in new-onset IBD. On the other hand, our results cannot demonstrate any proven diagnostic or predictive value of this method to support clinical decision making.

- Background & Aims: Preclinical ulcerative colitis is poorly defined. We aimed to characterize the preclinical systemic inflammation in ulcerative colitis, using a comprehensive set of proteins.Methods: We obtained plasma samples biobanked from individuals who developed ulcerative colitis later in life (n = 72) and matched healthy controls (n = 140) within a population-based screening cohort. We measured 92 proteins related to inflammation using a proximity extension assay. The biologic relevance of these findings was validated in an inception cohort of patients with ulcerative colitis (n = 101) and healthy controls (n = 50). To examine the influence of genetic and environmental factors on these markers, a cohort of healthy twin siblings of patients with ulcerative colitis (n = 41) and matched healthy controls (n = 37) were explored.Results: Six proteins (MMP10, CXCL9, CCL11, SLAMF1, CXCL11 and MCP-1) were up-regulated (P < .05) in preclinical ulcerative colitis compared with controls based on both univariate and multivariable models. Ingenuity Pathway Analyses identified several potential key regulators, including interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor, interferon-gamma, oncostatin M, nuclear factor-κB, interleukin-6, and interleukin-4. For validation, we built a multivariable model to predict disease in the inception cohort. The model discriminated treatment-naïve patients with ulcerative colitis from controls with leave-one-out cross-validation (area under the curve = 0.92). Consistently, MMP10, CXCL9, CXCL11, and MCP-1, but not CCL11 and SLAMF1, were significantly up-regulated among the healthy twin siblings, even though their relative abundances seemed higher in incident ulcerative colitis.Conclusions: A set of inflammatory proteins are up-regulated several years before a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. These proteins were highly predictive of an ulcerative colitis diagnosis, and some seemed to be up-regulated already at exposure to genetic and environmental risk factors.

- Anemia is a common complication of inflammatory bowel diseases. An international working party has formed and developed guidelines for evaluation and treatment of anemia and iron deficiency that should serve practicing gastroenterologists. Within a total of 16 statements, recommendations are made regarding diagnostic measures to screen for iron- and other anemia-related deficiencies regarding the triggers for medical intervention, treatment goals, and appropriate therapies. Anemia is a common cause of hospitalization, prevents physicians from discharging hospitalized patients, and is one of me most frequent comorbid conditions in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. It therefore needs appropriate attention and specific care. Copyright © 2007 Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America, Inc.
