- 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.

- 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.
