Chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, involves complex immune, genetic, and environmental factors. Current treatments focus on corticosteroids, sulphasalazine, and newer agents like mesalazine and immunosuppressants.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Immunology
  • Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
  • Molecular and Genetic Factors in IBD

Context:

  • IBD, encompassing ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), lacks a defined etiology.
  • Diagnosis relies on a synthesis of clinical, radiological, endoscopic, and histopathological findings.
  • Recent research explores immune mechanisms, infectious agents, gut microbiota, diet, genetics, and other factors in IBD pathogenesis.

Purpose:

  • To review the current understanding of IBD pathogenesis.
  • To discuss the multifaceted factors contributing to IBD development.
  • To outline established and emerging therapeutic strategies for IBD.

Summary:

  • IBD pathogenesis involves a complex interplay of genetic predisposition and environmental triggers, leading to dysregulated immune responses.

  • Key inflammatory mediators include cytokines, complement peptides, and eicosanoids, amplified by free oxygen radicals.
  • Current therapies include corticosteroids, sulphasalazine (SAZ), mesalazine, immunosuppressants (azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine), and metronidazole for specific conditions.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a comprehensive overview of IBD etiology and pathophysiology.
    • Highlights the therapeutic advancements and challenges in managing IBD.
    • Informs future research directions for novel IBD treatments.
