Background: New bio-mimetic approaches are needed to develop effective delivery systems for inflammation regulation in chronic diseases like ulcerative colitis, avoiding fast clearance by immune system. The cell membrane-coated nanoparticle with a therapeutic payload has been considered as a promising delivery system to address the requirement.
Methods: Here, Glibenclamide (GLY)-loaded PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) were constructed by a single emulsion procedure and camouflaged by a layer of monocyte membrane using the extrusion technique to fabricate bio-mimetic nanoghosts (NGs), followed by physiochemical and biological characterisations.
Results: Upon coating the NPs by the membrane, the hydrodynamic size and zeta potential of NGs was changed. The formation of the shell compartment with diameter of about 15.5 nm around NP core was confirmed by TEM. The expression levels of NLRP3, IL-1β, IL-18, caspase-1, TNF-α and IL-6 were decreased upon the NGs treatment. The lower cellular internalisation of the NGs exhibited potential for improved circulation stability against macrophage phagocytosis. Treatment of acetic acid-induced UC with NGs exhibited healing of the mucosal lining in the colon tissue.
Conclusion: The monocyte membrane-coated NPs with a sulfonylurea derivatives payload can be considered as an excellent biologically inspired candidate for management of inflammatory diseases like UC inflammation regulation.

Background: Clostridium innocuum is a vancomycin-resistant pathobiome associated with poor clinical outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In ulcerative colitis (UC), it correlates with reduced remission rates, while in Crohn's disease (CD), it is linked to creeping fat formation and intestinal strictures. Notably, some patients experience refractory or recurrent C.

Mucosal healing is the mainstream goal of modern treat-to-target strategy as it is associated with a significantly more favorable disease course in IBD patients with either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Recent advances in endoscopic imaging technologies have overcome the traditional concept of mucosal healing assessed with conventional white light imaging, allowing for multiple levels of endoscopic healing up to the boundaries of molecular and functional evaluation. In this review, we focused on conventional and emerging strategies to assess endoscopic healing in ulcerative colitis and ileocolonic Crohn's disease, examining their pros and cons in real life practice.

Single-wavelength endoscopy (SWE) has shown promising results in assessing histological disease activity in ulcerative colitis. Our objective was to validate the real-time performance of a bedside prototype of SWE computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) as proof of concept.A bedside module for real-time use evaluated histological disease activity when endoscopy was performed in the rectum and sigmoid based on white-light endoscopy and SWE (410 nm monochromatic light).

Targeting NLRP3 is a highly promising strategy for treating uncontrolled inflammation, which can cause a wide range of diseases or promote disease progression. More NLRP3-targeting inhibitors with different scaffolds are needed to increase the chances of developing safe and effective NLRP3 inhibitors and treating inflammation in different tissues. Here, we discovered the novel quinoline analogues that exhibit potent inhibitory activity against the NLRP3/IL-1β pathway in J774A.

A gene encoding the transcription factor RTF1 has been associated with an increased risk of ulcerative colitis (UC). In this study, we investigated its function in modulating T cells expressing interleukin-17A (Th17 cells), a cardinal cell type promoting intestinal inflammation. Our results indicate that Rtf1 deficiency disrupts the differentiation of Th17 cells, while leaving regulatory T cells (Treg) unaffected.
