Background & Aims: Defective apoptosis of lamina propria T cells (LPTs) is involved in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease. Survivin, a member of the inhibitors of apoptosis family, prevents cell death and regulates cell division. Survivin has been studied extensively in cancer, but little is known about its role in Crohn's disease.
Methods: LPTs were isolated from mucosal samples of patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis and healthy individuals (controls). LPTs were activated with interleukin-2 or via CD3, CD2, and CD28 signaling, and cultured at 42°C to induce heat shock. Survivin expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy, and immunoblotting; survivin levels were reduced by RNA interference. Cell viability, apoptosis, and proliferation were measured by trypan blue exclusion, annexin-V/7-Aminoactinomycin D staining, and uptake of [3]thymidine, respectively.
Results: LPTs from patients with Crohn's disease had higher levels of survivin than LPTs from patients with ulcerative colitis or controls. RNA knockdown of survivin in LPTs inhibited their proliferation and promoted apoptosis. Levels of survivin were low in LPTs from patients with ulcerative colitis and controls as a result of ubiquitin-mediated proteasome degradation. In LPTs from patients with Crohn's disease, survivin bound to the heat shock protein (HSP)90, and therefore was resistant to proteasome degradation. Incubating LPTs with 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin, an inhibitor of HSP90, reduced levels of survivin and induced apoptosis.
Conclusions: Levels of survivin are increased in LPTs from patients with Crohn's disease (compared with ulcerative colitis and controls) because survivin interacts with HSP90 and prevents proteasome degradation. This allows LPTs to avoid apoptosis. Strategies to restore apoptosis to these cells might be developed to treat patients with Crohn's disease.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with the risk of developing prostate cancer (PCa) through a population-based study.
Materials And Methods: Male patients aged ≥40 years, diagnosed with IBD from 2010 to 2013 and without IBD were identified and followed-up till 2019. A matched cohort of male patients with and without IBD in a ratio of 1:4 was created based on age, income level, and Charlson comorbidity index.

Objectives: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic, immune-mediated disorders of the gastrointestinal system. Pancreas can be affected in IBD patients with a wide array of clinical conditions including acu-te pancreatitis, abnormalities of pancreatic duct and pancreatic insufficiency. Pancreatic steatosis (PS) is an important but often overlooked pathology of pancreas.
