Abstract
Background: Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are well-defined phenotypes of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). A mechanism of inflammation in these diseases is partially controlled by the intestinal dendritic cell (DC). In this study, we observed a mature CD83+ DC in colonic bioptic samples, and its correlation with disease phenotype and activity. Methods: The study included 219 subjects: 100 with UC, 44 with CD and 75 healthy subjects. Colonic biopsy specimens were incubated with the primary antibody Anti-CD83. Intraepithelial CD83+ DCs were counted per 100 enterocytes. The presence of CD83+ DC was analysed according to the type of IBD, histopathologic inflammation activity and treatment outcome. Results: The presence of mature CD83+ DCs (0, ≥1) differed according to disease types of IBD (p = 0.001), histologic inflammation activity (p = 0.049) and applied therapy (p = 0.001). The odds for CD83+ DC presence were 5.2 times higher in the CD group than in the control/UC group. The odds for CD83+ DC presence were 2.6 times higher in subjects without inflammation or chronic inflammation than with acute inflammation. They were also 3.7 times higher in subjects without therapy. The cut-off value 0.5 CD83+ DC (Rock analysis area = 0.699; SE 0.046; p < 0.001; 95% CI: 0.609-0.788) had been assessed as a differentiation marker between UC and CD. Conclusion: Presence of CD83+ DC could be used as a possible parameter in distinction between UC and CD, as well as a predictor of inflammation activity and treatment outcome.
