Abstract
Macrophages are crucial cells in the human body's innate immunity and are engaged in a variety of non-inflammatory reactions. Macrophages can develop into two kinds when stimulated by distinct internal environments: pro-inflammatory M1-like macrophages and anti-inflammatory M2-type macrophages. During inflammation, the two kinds of macrophages are activated alternatively, and maintaining a reasonably steady ratio is critical for maintaining homeostasis in vivo. M1 macrophages can induce inflammation, but M2 macrophages suppress it. The imbalance between the two kinds of macrophages will have a significant impact on the illness process. As a result, there are an increasing number of research being conducted on relieving or curing illnesses by altering the amount of macrophages. This review summarizes the role of macrophage polarization in various inflammatory diseases, including autoimmune diseases (RA, EAE, MS, AIH, IBD, CD), allergic diseases (allergic rhinitis, allergic dermatitis, allergic asthma), atherosclerosis, obesity and type 2 diabetes, metabolic homeostasis, and the compounds or drugs that have been discovered or applied to the treatment of these diseases by targeting macrophage polarization.

[PMID: 38591914 PMCID: PMC11005811 DOI: 10.1080/19490976.2024.2337269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease associated with psychological distress and intestinal microbial changes. Here, we examined whether a 3-month period of Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness with Daily Exercise (COBMINDEX) intervention, which improves the wellbeing and inflammatory state of CD patients, may also affect their gut microbiome. Gut microbiota, circulating inflammatory markers and hormones were analyzed in 24 CD patients before (T1) and after 3 months of COBMINDEX (T2), and in 25 age- and sex-matched wait-list control patients at the corresponding time-points. Microbiota analysis examined relative taxonomical abundance, alpha and beta diversity, and microbiome correlations with inflammatory and psychological parameters. At T1, CD patients exhibited a characteristic microbial profile mainly constituted of Proteobacteria (17.71%), Firmicutes (65.56%), Actinobacteria (8.46%) and Bacteroidetes (6.24%). Baseline bacterial abundances showed significant correlations with psychological markers of distress and with IFNγ . Following COBMINDEX, no significant changes in alpha and beta diversity were observed between both study groups, though a trend change in beta diversity was noted. Significant changes occurred in the abundance of phyla, families and genera only among the COBMINDEX group. Furthermore, abundance of phyla, families and genera that were altered following COBMNIDEX, significantly correlated with levels of cytokines and psychological parameters. Our results demonstrated that a short-term intervention of COBMINDEX was associated with changes in microbial indices, some of which are linked to psychological manifestations and systemic inflammation in CD patients. Psychological interventions to reduce chronic stress, such as COBMINDEX, appear to be beneficial in mitigating the pathobiology of CD patients, and may thus provide a useful adjunct to pharmacological therapy.

Hsa_circRNA_103124 upregulation in Crohn's disease promoted macrophage M1 polarization to maintain an inflammatory microenvironment via activation of the AKT2 and TLR4/NF-κB pathways. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 123:110763. [PMID: 37567009 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
An accumulating body of research indicates that circular RNAs participate in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD). Hsa_circRNA_103124, which was upregulated in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with CD, was reported to inhibit autophagy in our previous studies. However, how hsa_circRNA_103124 participates in CD progression remains unclear. In this study, TLR4 was found to be upregulated in THP1 cells overexpressing hsa_circRNA_103124. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that overexpressed hsa_circRNA_103124 was associated with the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and TLR4-associated innate immunity in inflammatory bowel disease. Therefore, we inferred a possible role for hsa_circRNA_103124 in macrophage polarization. Hsa_circRNA_103124, AKT2 and TLR4 were significantly upregulated in the PBMCs of patients with CD. Further analysis revealed a positive correlation between hsa_circRNA_103124 and AKT2 (r = 0.8029, p < 0.0001), TLR4 (r = 0.2529, p = 0.0089) and the Crohn's disease activity index (r = 0.4535, p < 0.0001) in patients with CD. Notably, hsa_circRNA_103124 promoted macrophage M1 polarization with increased expression of CD80 and CD86, while it inhibited macrophage M2 polarization with decreased expression of CD206 and CD163. Hsa_circRNA_103124 promoted an inflammatory microenvironment by activating the AKT2 and TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathways in M1 polarized THP1 cells. Nevertheless, hsa-miR-650 reversed the role of hsa_circRNA_103124 in M1 polarization. Hsa_circRNA_103124 promoted the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps and reduced the expression of ZO-1. In summary, the results of this study indicated that hsa_circRNA_103124 promoted macrophage M1 polarization to maintain an inflammatory microenvironment via activation of the TLR4/NF-κB pathway in a hsa-miR-650/AKT2 dependent manner. Hsa_circRNA_103124 could serve as a potential biomarker and a novel therapeutic target in CD progression.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study is to understand the feelings and experiences of the main caregivers of temporary ostomy patien ts with Crohn's disease (CD). And explore the caregivers' inner feelings, to provide reference and basis for constructing the health education content of the main caregivers of CD patients with a temporary stoma. Methods A qualitative descriptive approach was used to conduct an unstructured interview among 11 primary caregivers of CD patients with temporary enterostomy from the gastroenterology department of The Second Hospital of Nanjing. Participants were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected between July 2021 and September 2021. The interviews were audio recorded and then transcribed for a qualitative thematic analysis. Results Five themes and accompanying subthemes were identified: (1) negative psychological experience (2) perceived caregiver burden (3) future uncertainty (4) disease benefit (5) insufficien support system. Conclusions Study findings suggest that caregivers of CD temporary enterostomy patients have problems such as negative psychology, heavy caregiver burden, uncertain future, lack of support system, etc., but they also have positive experience of feeling of benefit from the disease, and are eager to obtain more disease information from more channels.Therefore, medical staff should improve their professionalism and health education capabilities, carry out diversified and targeted health education activities to reduce the burden of care, stimulate positive caregiver responses and help caregivers respond to and deal with caregiving problems in a timely and accurate manner.

[PMID: 37635462 DOI: 10.1080/00365521.2023.2245938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression increases the risk of Crohn's disease (CD) and worsens its prognosis. Monocytes/macrophages, immune modulate cells, play vital roles in both depression and CD. OBJECTIVES We investigated whether monocyte/macrophage could mediate the impact of depression on CD through induction of CD4 + T lymphocyte differentiation and epithelial barrier dysfunction, in addition to the alteration of their own phagocytic ability and cytokines production. METHODS Circulating monocytes and intestinal macrophages were isolated from eligible CD patients, divided into depressed and non-depressed groups. Phagocytosis was determined using flow cytometry while in vitro cytokine production was quantified using Luminex assay and qPCR. CD4 + T cells were cocultured with monocytes, then Type 1 Helper T Lymphocytes Th1/Type 2 Helper T Lymphocytes (Th2) /Type 17 Helper T Lymphocytes (Th17)/Treg subsets were analyzed using flow cytometry and qPCR. Caco-2 monolayers simulating epithelial barrier were cocultured with macrophages, and integrity and proliferation were evaluated. Tight junction protein expression was detected using immunofluorescence and western blot. RESULTS Decreased monocyte/macrophage phagocytosis and enhanced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines including Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were revealed in the depressed versus non-depressed CD groups. Higher proportions of Th1 and Th17 cells with a lower proportion of Treg cell were observed after cocultured with monocytes from the depressed versus non-depressed CD patients. So were the expressions of their corresponding transcription factors T-bet, Retinoic Acid Related Orphan Nuclear Receptor gamma T (RORγt) and Forkhead box protein P3 (FoxP3). Caco-2 cells cocultured with macrophages from depressed CD displayed lower Transepithelial electric resistance (TEER), reduced proliferation activity, and decreased tight junction protein expressions compared with their counterpart cocultured with macrophages from non-depressed CD. CONCLUSIONS Monocyte/macrophage may underlie the impact of depression upon CD via decreased phagocytosis, increased pro-inflammatory cytokine production, inducing CD4 + T cell differentiation toward Th1/Th17 cells rather than Treg cell, and impairing macrophage-enhanced epithelial barrier.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Monocytes/macrophages play important roles in inflammatory bowel disease and depression, but few studies had focused on the change of monocytes/macrophages in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients with psychiatric disorders. METHODS UC patients were divided into two groups based on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Demographic and clinical data were captured. Peripheral blood samples and intestinal biopsies were collected for the analysis of monocyte immunophenotype, phagocytic function, and CD4 + T cell differentiation. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultrastructure of intestinal macrophages. RESULTS A total of 139 UC patients were included. 37.41% and 32.37% of UC patients had symptoms of anxiety and depression. In patients with symptoms of anxiety/depression, mayo score, platelet count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and endoscopic score, histological scores were significantly higher than those in UC patients without. In patients with symptoms of anxiety/depression, the percentages of CD14 + + CD16 + monocytes and CD14 + CD16++ monocytes were higher, and the phagocytosis was decreased. Patients with symptoms of anxiety/depression had more CD68 + cells and higher M1/M2 ratios in the intestine mucosal layer compared to those without. CONCLUSIONS Monocytes and intestinal macrophages from UC patients with anxiety/depression tended to polarize to pro-inflammatory subtypes, and their function was also impaired.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Crohn's disease (CD) has been related to an increased prevalence of psychiatric disorders and suicide risk (SR). However, the nature of their relationship still deserves clarification. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of major depressive disorder (MDD) in patients with CD, and to investigate the relationship between MDD and CD outcomes. METHODS A cross-sectional study involving CD patients was performed. CD activity was evaluated by the Harvey-Bradshaw index and CD phenotype by the Montreal classification. The presence of MDD was assessed by the Patient Health Questionnaire score-9 (PHQ-9). Sociodemographic data and other characteristics were retrieved from electronic medical records. RESULTS 283 patients with CD were included. The prevalence of MDD was 41.7%. Females had a risk of MDD 5.3 times greater than males. CD disease duration was inversely correlated with MDD severity. Individuals with active CD were more likely to have MDD (OR = 796.0; 95% CI 133.7‒4738.8) than individuals with CD remission. MDD was more prevalent in inflammatory behavior (45.5%) and there were no statistical differences regarding the disease location. 19.8% of the sample scored positive for SR. CONCLUSION The present results support data showing an increased prevalence of MDD in individuals with CD. Additionally, it indicates that MDD in CD might be related to the activity of CD. Prospective studies are warranted to confirm these results and to address whether MDD leads to CD activity, CD activity leads to MDD or both ways are existent.

Abstract
Intestinal inflammation and intestinal barrier damage are important pathological changes in Crohn's disease (CD). Vindoline is a natural monomer with anti-inflammatory effects. We employed CD model mice to explore the effect of Vindoline on CD-like colitis and the possible mechanism. Il-10-deficient (Il-10-/- ) mice and wild-type (WT) mice (both aged 15 weeks, male) were used to explore the effect of Vindoline on colitis and intestinal barrier damage, as well as macrophage-mediated inflammation. Bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and colonic organoids from mice were used to explore the inhibitory effect of Vindoline on macrophage-mediated inflammation and the protective effect on inflammation-induced intestinal barrier damage as well as the possible mechanism. We found that Vindoline significantly ameliorated colitis in CD mice, as evidenced by increased weight change and colon length and decreased the colon macroscopic injury score, histological inflammatory score, and the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators. Vindoline also protected against intestinal barrier damage in CD mice. Furthermore, Vindoline inhibited macrophage-mediated inflammation and protected against inflammation-induced intestinal barrier damage in the coculture system. In addition, Vindoline ameliorated colitis in CD mice by protecting against inflammation-induced intestinal barrier damage, which may be caused by inhibition of MAPK signaling pathway. This protective effect suggests that Vindoline has potential value for clinical application in the treatment of CD.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), mainly including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), is an autoimmune gastrointestinal disease characterized by chronic inflammation and frequent recurrence. Accumulating evidence has confirmed that chronic psychological stress is considered to trigger IBD deterioration and relapse. Moreover, studies have demonstrated that patients with IBD have a higher risk of developing symptoms of anxiety and depression than healthy individuals. However, the underlying mechanism of the link between psychological stress and IBD remains poorly understood. This review used a psychoneuroimmunology perspective to assess possible neuro-visceral integration, immune modulation, and crucial intestinal microbiome changes in IBD. Furthermore, the bidirectionality of the brain–gut axis was emphasized in the context, indicating that IBD pathophysiology increases the inflammatory response in the central nervous system and further contributes to anxiety- and depression-like behavioral comorbidities. This information will help accurately characterize the link between psychological stress and IBD disease activity. Additionally, the clinical application of functional brain imaging, microbiota-targeted treatment, psychotherapy and antidepressants should be considered during the treatment and diagnosis of IBD with behavioral comorbidities. This review elucidates the significance of more high-quality research combined with large clinical sample sizes and multiple diagnostic methods and psychotherapy, which may help to achieve personalized therapeutic strategies for IBD patients based on stress relief.

Dig Dis Sci 2022; 68:1269-1279. [PMID: 36088512 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-022-07679-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2021] [Accepted: 08/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/09/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and concurrent depression are predisposed to severer disease activity and a worse prognosis. Macrophage polarization toward the M1 phenotype may contribute to the exacerbation of IBD with comorbid depression. Moreover, interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is involved in the pathogenesis of IBD. The aim of this study was to explore the role of IRF5 in macrophage polarization in the impact of depression upon colitis. METHODS Depressive-like behavior was induced by repeated forced swim stress. Colon length, disease activity index (DAI), colon morphology, histology, ultrastructure of epithelial barrier, lamina propria macrophage polarization, and expression of IRF5 were compared between DSS colitis rats with and without depressive-like behavior. IRF5 shRNA was constructed to affect the rat peritoneal macrophages polarization in vitro. After IRF5 shRNA lentivirus was introduced into colon by enema, the colitis severity, lamina propria macrophage polarization, and TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-10 of colon tissues were measured. RESULTS The study found severer colonic inflammation in depressed versus non-depressed DSS-colitis rats. Depressed DSS-colitis rats exhibited smaller subepithelial macrophages size and reduced intracellular granule diversity compared with nondepressed DSS-colitis rats. Increased polarization toward the M1 phenotype, elevated expression of IRF5, and co-expression of IRF5 with CD86 were found in depressed versus nondepressed DSS-colitis rats. Lentivirus-mediated shRNA interference with IRF5 expression switched rat peritoneal macrophage polarization from the M1 to the M2 phenotype, downregulated TNF-α, IL-1β expression to a greater extent in depressed versus nondepressed colitis rats. CONCLUSIONS IRF5-mediated macrophage polarization may likely underlie the deterioration of DSS-induced colitis caused by depression.

Chemokine receptor 4 expression on blood T lymphocytes predicts severity of major depressive disorder. J Affect Disord 2022; 310:343-353. [PMID: 35526724 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2022.05.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Revised: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 05/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemokines and their receptors regulate inflammatory processes in major depressive disorder (MDD). Here, we characterize the expression pattern of the C-C chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) and its ligands CCL17 and CCL22 in MDD and its clinical relevance in predicting disease severity. METHODS Expression of CCR4 on peripheral blood lymphocytes and serum CCL17/CCL22 levels were measured using multiparameter flow cytometry and multiplex assays in 33 depressed inpatients at baseline (T0) and after 6-week multimodal treatment (T1) compared with 21 healthy controls (HC). Using stratified and correlation analysis, we examined the associations of CCR4-CCL17/CCL22 expression with depression severity and symptoms according to standard clinical rating scales and questionnaires. Additionally, we assessed whether polygenic risk score (PRS) for psychiatric disorders and chronotype are associated with disease status or CCR4-CCL17/CCL22 expression. Regression analysis was performed to assess the capacity of CCR4 and PRS in predicting disease severity. RESULTS Compared with HC, MDD patients showed significantly decreased CCR4 expression on T cells (T0 and T1), whereas CCL17/CCL22 serum levels were increased. Stratified and correlation analysis revealed an association of CCR4 expression on CD4+ T cells with depression severity as well as Beck Depression Inventory-II items including loss of pleasure, agitation and cognitive deficits. CCR4 expression levels on CD4+ T cells together with cross-disorder and chronotype PRS significantly predicted disease severity. LIMITATIONS This exploratory study with small sample size warrants future studies. CONCLUSIONS This newly identified CCR4-CCL17/CCL22 signature and its predictive capacity for MDD severity suggest its potential functional involvement in the pathophysiology of MDD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Anxiety and depression are prevalent in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), especially during IBD flares. IBD therapies can profoundly affect the mood of patients with IBD. We aimed to determine the long-term impact of anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) and immunomodulators (IM) on anxiety and depressive symptoms in IBD patients. METHODS We compared three treatment groups with IM only (group A), anti-TNF ± IM (group B) and no such therapy (group C). Patients completed the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) at 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years after start of treatment. RESULTS In total, 581 patients with IBD (42.9% Crohn's disease, 57.1% ulcerative colitis/IBD unclassified) participated in this study. Effects of treatment were analyzed in a mixed effects model, with and without correction for confounders. Compared with group C, group B showed a significant treatment-related improvement in both anxiety and depressive symptoms within the first 2.5 years and also thereafter. Group A showed a significant long-term improvement of anxiety and both short-term and long-term improvement in depressive symptoms. The significance of these results was maintained after correction for confounders, including corticosteroid treatment. Additionally, both groups A and B showed a significant decrease in disease activity in the first 2.5 years after start of treatment and also thereafter. Anti-TNF and IM treatment were associated with a similarly significant decrease in anxiety and depressive symptoms over an observation period of up to 5 years. CONCLUSION Besides a clear benefit for disease activity, anti-TNF and IM apparently improve the mood of patients with IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both depression and anxiety are identified as significant experiences in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); whether these are a consequence of the disease or an active contributor to the disease remains controversial. This review aimed to identify and critique recent evidence regarding mental health in IBD. SOURCES OF DATA PubmedⓇ, OvidⓇ, EmbaseⓇ, EBSCO PsychInfo and Google-Scholar were searched within the last 5 years (2016-2020). AREAS OF AGREEMENT Overall, both depression and anxiety affect disease activity, relapse and healthcare utilization. AREAS OF CONTROVERSY There is some controversy on whether depression and anxiety affect IBD outcomes differently depending on IBD subtype. GROWING POINTS The data support the need for depression and anxiety assessment to be incorporated in the routine management of IBD patients; prompt psychiatric and psychological management may ultimately reduce disease activity, relapses and healthcare costs. AREAS TIMELY FOR DEVELOPING RESEARCH More longitudinal research may further enlighten the role of depression and anxiety in IBD. Similarly, randomized controlled trials to investigate and clarify the effect of psychiatric/psychological management on IBD outcomes.

Lancet Gastroenterol Hepatol 2021; 6:359-370. [PMID: 33721557 DOI: 10.1016/s2468-1253(21)00014-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 241] [Impact Index Per Article: 80.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2020] [Revised: 01/07/2021] [Accepted: 01/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a lifelong condition with no cure. Patients with IBD might experience symptoms of common mental disorders such as anxiety and depression because of bidirectional communication via the gut-brain axis and chronicity of symptoms, and because of impaired quality of life and reduced social functioning. However, uncertainties remain about the magnitude of this problem. We aimed to assess prevalence of symptoms of anxiety or depression in adult patients with IBD. METHODS In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE, Embase, Embase Classic, and PsycINFO for papers published from inception to Sept 30, 2020, reporting observational studies that recruited at least 100 adult patients with IBD and that reported prevalence of symptoms of anxiety or depression according to validated screening instruments. We excluded studies that only used a structured interview to assess for these symptoms and studies that did not provide extractable data. We extracted data from published study reports and calculated pooled prevalences of symptoms of anxiety and depression, odds ratios (OR), and 95% CIs. FINDINGS Of 5544 studies identified, 77 fulfilled the eligibility criteria, including 30 118 patients in total. Overall, pooled prevalence of anxiety symptoms was 32·1% (95% CI 28·3-36·0) in 58 studies (I2=96·9%) and pooled prevalence of depression symptoms was 25·2% (22·0-28·5) in 75 studies (I2=97·6%). In studies that reported prevalence of anxiety or depression in patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis within the same study population, patients with Crohn's disease had higher odds of anxiety symptoms (OR 1·2, 95% CI 1·1-1·4) and depression symptoms (1·2, 1·1-1·4) than patients with ulcerative colitis. Overall, women with IBD were more likely to have symptoms of anxiety than were men with IBD (pooled prevalence 33·8% [95% CI 26·5-41·5] for women vs 22·8% [18·7-27·2] for men; OR 1·7 [95% CI 1·2-2·3]). They were also more likely to have symptoms of depression than men were (pooled prevalence 21·2% [95% CI 15·4-27·6] for women vs 16·2% [12·6-20·3] for men; OR 1·3 [95% CI 1·0-1·8]). The prevalence of symptoms of anxiety (57·6% [95% CI 38·6-75·4]) or depression (38·9% [26·2-52·3]) was higher in patients with active IBD than in patients with inactive disease (38·1% [30·9-45·7] for anxiety symptoms and 24·2% [14·7-35·3] for depression symptoms; ORs 2·5 [95% CI 1·5-4·1] for anxiety and 3·1 [1·9-4·9] for depression). INTERPRETATION There is a high prevalence of symptoms of anxiety and depression in patients with IBD, with up to a third of patients affected by anxiety symptoms and a quarter affected by depression symptoms. Prevalence was also increased in patients with active disease: half of these patients met criteria for anxiety symptoms and a third met criteria for depression symptoms. Encouraging gastroenterologists to screen for and treat these disorders might improve outcomes for patients with IBD. FUNDING None.

Abstract
Background Autoimmune disease (AID) patients always present with increased risk of psychiatric disorders, and thyroid function or thyroid hormone may play a critical role in the development of anxiety and depression. Thus, this study aimed to assess the free triiodothyronine (FT3), free tetraiodothyronine (FT4), thyroid‐stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, and their correlations with anxiety/depression in patients with AID. Methods Ninety‐eight AID patients and 100 health controls (HCs) were recruited. Serum samples were obtained from all the participants to detect FT3, FT4, and TSH levels. Anxiety and depression were determined using the HADS assessment. Results HADS‐Anxiety score, anxiety subject percentage, HADS‐Depression score, and depression subject proportion were elevated in AID patients compared with HCs. FT3 and FT4 were downregulated while TSH was upregulated in AID patients compared with HCs. In AID patients, FT3 and FT4 negatively correlated with HADS‐Anxiety score, and they were downregulated in patients with anxiety compared to patients without anxiety. Meanwhile, FT3 and FT4 were negatively associated while TSH level positively associated with HADS‐Depression score. Besides, FT3 and FT4 reduced, but TSH level was of no difference in patients with depression compared to patients without depression. Additionally, increased FT4 independently correlated with both reduced anxiety risk and depression risk. Conclusions FT3, FT4, and TSH are dysregulated, and FT4 has the potential to serve as an independent biomarker related to anxiety as well as depression in AID patients. These findings may provide some information on the values of thyroid hormones in facilitating the management of AID patients with anxiety/depression.

Clinical Significance of M1/M2 Macrophages and Related Cytokines in Patients with Spinal Tuberculosis. DISEASE MARKERS 2020; 2020:2509454.

Abstract
Background Macrophages are important immune cells involved in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) infection. To further investigate the degree of disease development in patients with spinal tuberculosis (TB), we conducted research on macrophage polarization. Methods Thirty-six patients with spinal TB and twenty-five healthy controls were enrolled in this study. The specific morphology of tuberculous granuloma in spinal tissue was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining. The presence and distribution of bacilli were observed by Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining. Macrophage-specific molecule CD68 was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). M1 macrophages play a proinflammatory role, including the specific molecule nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and the related cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ). M2 macrophages exert anti-inflammatory effects, including the specific molecule CD163 and related cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10). The above markers were all detected by quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and IHC. Results Typical tuberculous granuloma was observed in the HE staining of patients with spinal TB. ZN staining showed positive expression of Ag85B around the caseous necrosis tissue and Langerhans multinucleated giant cells. At the same time, IHC results indicated that CD68, iNOS, CD163, IL-10, TNF-α, and IFN-γ were expressed around the tuberculous granuloma, and their levels were obviously higher in close tissue than in the distant tissue. RT-PCR and ELISA results indicated that IL-10, TNF-α, and IFN-γ levels of TB patients were also higher than those of the healthy controls. Conclusion The report here highlights that two types of macrophage polarization (M1 and M2) are present in the tissues and peripheral blood of patients with spinal TB. Macrophages also play proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory roles. Macrophage polarization is involved in spinal TB infection.
