Background: Mucosal healing (MH) is the major therapeutic target for Crohn's disease (CD). As the most commonly involved intestinal segment, small bowel (SB) assessment is crucial for CD patients. Yet, it poses a significant challenge due to its limited accessibility through conventional endoscopic methods.

Platelet Count at Diagnosis Is Associated with Endoscopic Activity in Pediatric Patients with Crohn's Disease.

Pediatr Gastroenterol Hepatol Nutr

January 2025

Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, Korea.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the association between platelet count and endoscopy activity in pediatric patients with Crohn's disease (CD).

Methods: This single center retrospective study included children and adolescents aged <19 years who were newly diagnosed with CD. Comparison of baseline characteristics at diagnosis between two groups divided according to the presence and absence of thrombocytosis were conducted.

Development of a Second-Generation, Chemical Probe for PIKfyve.

J Med Chem

January 2025

Structural Genomics Consortium, UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599, United States.

We optimized our highly potent and cell-active chemical probe for phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate 5-kinase (PIKfyve), SGC-PIKFYVE-1, resulting in compounds with improved potency and demonstrated stability. Use of an in-cell, kinome-wide selectivity panel allowed for confirmation of excellent in-cell selectivity of our lead compound, , and another promising analogue, . Evaluation of the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of these two compounds revealed that both are well tolerated systemically and orally bioavailable.

The SERPINB4 gene mutation identified in twin patients with Crohn's disease impaires the intestinal epithelial cell functions.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Gastroenterology, The National Key Clinical Specialty, Clinical Research Center for Gut Microbiota and Digestive Diseases of Fujian Province, Key Laboratory for Intestinal Microbiome and Human Health of Xiamen, Zhongshan Hospital of Xiamen University, Xiamen, 361004, China.

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. To identify new targets related to the initiation of CD, we screened a pair of twins with CD, which is a rare phenomenon in the Chinese population, for genetic susceptibility factors. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) of these patients revealed a mutation in their SERPINB4 gene.
