The patients of Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are increasing worldwide. IBD has the characteristics of recurring and difficult to cure, and it is also one of the high-risk factors for colorectal cancer (CRC). The occurrence of IBD is closely related to genetic factors, which prompted us to identify IBD-related genes. Based on the hypothesis that similar diseases are related to similar genes, we purposed a SVM-based method to identify IBD-related genes by disease similarities and gene interactions. One hundred thirty-five diseases which have similarities with IBD and their related genes were obtained. These genes are considered as the candidates of IBD-related genes. We extracted features of each gene and implemented SVM to identify the probability that it is related to IBD. Ten-cross validation was applied to verify the effectiveness of our method. The AUC is 0.93 and AUPR is 0.97, which are the best among four methods. We prioritized the candidate genes and did case studies on top five genes.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, inflammatory, and autoimmune disorder, and its incidence of comorbid with major depressive disorder (MDD) is significantly higher than the general population. However, many patients lack proper recognition and necessary psychological health treatments. We aimed to identify potential biomarkers and mechanisms involved in the development of IBD comorbid with MDD (IBD-MDD).

Background: Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBDs), encompassing Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn's Disease (CD), are chronic, recurrent inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. The microRNA (miRNA) -mRNA regulatory network is pivotal in the initiation and progression of IBDs. Although individual studies provide valuable insights into miRNA mechanisms in IBDs, they often have limited scope due to constraints in population diversity, sample size, sequencing platform variability, batch effects, and potential researcher bias.

Background: Monocytes and macrophages play an indispensable role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis and modulating mucosal immune responses in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Although numerous studies have described macrophage properties in IBD, the underlying mechanisms whereby the monocyte-macrophage lineage modulates intestinal homeostasis during gut inflammation remain elusive.
Main Body: In this review, we decipher the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing the generation of intestinal mucosal macrophages and fill the knowledge gap in understanding the origin, maturation, classification, and functions of mucosal macrophages in intestinal niches, particularly the phagocytosis and bactericidal effects involved in the elimination of cell debris and pathogens.

Background & Aims: Biomarkers that integrate genetic and environmental factors and predict outcome in complex immune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD; including Crohn's disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC]) are needed. We showed that morphologic patterns of ileal Paneth cells (Paneth cell phenotype [PCP]; a surrogate for PC function) is one such cellular biomarker for CD. Given the shared features between CD and UC, we hypothesized that PCP is also associated with molecular/genetic features and outcome in UC.
