Subclinical gut inflammation in spondyloarthropathy (SpA) shows transcriptome changes similar to Crohn's disease. This suggests potential for early Crohn's disease detection in SpA patients using genetic markers.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Immunology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Intestinal inflammation is a hallmark of spondyloarthropathy (SpA) and Crohn's disease (CD).
  • While CD presents clinically, SpA often exhibits subclinical gut inflammation.
  • A subset of SpA patients progress to overt CD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare transcriptome changes in subclinical gut lesions of SpA patients with those in CD.
  • To identify differentially expressed genes in non-inflamed colon biopsies from SpA patients.

Main Methods:

  • Macroarray analysis identified 2625 differentially expressed sequence tags in CD and SpA colons.
  • A custom microarray was constructed with 6779 clones (including controls).
  • Colon biopsy specimens from 15 SpA, 11 CD patients, and 10 controls were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • 95 differentially expressed genes were identified in both SpA with subclinical inflammation and CD patients.
  • Principal component analysis differentiated the three study groups based on gene expression.
  • SpA patients with subclinical inflammation clustered closely with CD patients.

Conclusions:

  • The intestinal transcriptome in SpA patients differs significantly from controls.
  • Gene expression patterns in SpA are comparable to those observed in CD.
  • These findings support the development of novel genetic markers for early CD detection in SpA.
