X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) deficiency causes refractory inflammatory bowel disease. The XIAP protein plays a pivotal role in the pro-inflammatory response through the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing signaling pathway that is important in mucosal homeostasis. We analyzed the molecular mechanism of non-synonymous pathogenic variants (PVs) of XIAP BIR2 domain. We generated N-terminally green fluorescent protein-tagged XIAP constructs of representative non-synonymous PVs. Co-immunoprecipitation and fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy showed that wild-type XIAP and RIP2 preferentially interacted in live cells, whereas all non-synonymous PV XIAPs failed to interact properly with RIP2. Structural analysis showed that various structural changes by mutations, such as hydrophobic core collapse, Zn-finger loss, and spatial rearrangement, destabilized the two loop structures (174-182 and 205-215) that critically interact with RIP2. Subsequently, it caused a failure of RIP2 ubiquitination and loss of protein deficiency by the auto-ubiquitination of all XIAP mutants. These findings could enhance our understanding of the role of XIAP mutations in XIAP-deficient inflammatory bowel disease and may benefit future therapeutic strategies.

Impact of 5-Aminosalicylic Acid on Ustekinumab in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Retrospective Medical Claims Analysis.

Department of Gastroenterology, Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka Metropolitan University, Abeno-ku, Osaka, Japan.
Background: The efficacy of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) in combination with advanced therapies (ADTs), particularly ustekinumab (UST), for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains unclear.
Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis used data from the Medical Data Vision database, including patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) who had initiated UST therapy. Cumulative UST continuation rates and factors associated with UST failure were analyzed, and post hoc subgroup analyses based on prior ADT use were conducted.

Accumulating evidence suggests that gut microbiota (GM) plays a crucial role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis and progression. This narrative review explores the complex interplay between GM, the immune system, and the central nervous system in AD. We discuss mechanisms through which GM dysbiosis can compromise intestinal barrier integrity, enabling pro-inflammatory molecules and metabolites to enter systemic circulation and the brain, potentially contributing to AD hallmarks.

Description: The aim of this American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Clinical Practice Update (CPU) is to provide best practice advice (BPA) statements for gastroenterologists and other health care providers who provide care to patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The focus is on IBD-specific screenings (excluding colorectal cancer screening, which is discussed separately) and vaccinations. We provide guidance to ensure that patients are up to date with the disease-specific cancer screenings, vaccinations, as well as advice for mental health and general wellbeing.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with gastrointestinal tract (GIT) disorders, while genetic correlation, pleiotropic loci and shared risk genes remain to be explored.
Methods: Leveraging genome-wide association study statistics for MDD (n = 170,756), peptic ulcer disease (PUD; n = 16,666), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD; n = 54,854), PUD and/or GORD and/or medications (PGM; n = 90,175), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS; n = 28,518), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD; n = 7045), we determined global and local genetic correlations, identified pleiotropic loci, performed gene-level evaluations, and inferred causal associations using bidirectional Mendelian randomization.
Results: We found global correlation of MDD with PUD (r = 0.

Grading activity of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using standardized histopathological scoring systems remains challenging due to limited availability of pathologists with IBD expertise and inter-observer variability. In this study, a deep learning model was developed to classify activity grades in hematoxylin and eosin-stained whole slide images (WSIs) from patients with IBD, offering a robust approach for general pathologists. This study utilized 2,077 WSIs from 636 patients who visited Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in 2018 and 2019, scanned at 40× magnification (0.
