Digestive Disease Week 2009: Key Updates in IBD Basic Science

Rekha R Garg, PhD, Joseph R Mercado, and Theresa T Pizarro, PhD

Common themes in the IBD investigations presented during Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2009 included mechanism(s) of epithelial and immune regulation, the role of novel inflammatory/immune mediators, and the contribution of non-immune cells to the pathogenesis of IBD. This report summarizes the highlights of the IBD basic science presentations, with particular emphasis on novel, unpublished work.

  Patients with IBD commonly suffer from abdominal pain. While the pain may originate from worsening inflammation and/or its complications, chronic pain in IBD can have multiple influences. In particular, chronic pain is frequently driven by dysregulation of neurophysiological processes at spinal and supraspinal levels, and thus can be influenced by psychosocial factors that upregulate central pain control systems. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of IBD pain in terms of peripherally (gut) and centrally (brain and spinal cord) acting factors is required. This article details the pathophysiology of chronic pain in IBD and treatment strategies.

  IBD is complicated by inflammation at sites distant from the bowel in a large number of patients. In some cases, these extraintestinal events are transient and settle with treatment of the underlying gut disease; however, in a proportion, the extraintestinal features can be severe and persistent, causing as much morbidity as the underlying disease and sometimes even more. This article reviews the common extraintestinal manifestations seen in IBD and the treatments currently available to minimize their impact.
