  • Publication number: 20230304095
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, kits and compositions for treating an inflammatory disease or condition, or fibrosis in a subject that has been determined to have increased fold-change in Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like cytokine 1A (TL1A) expression based, at least partially, on a presence of a combination of genotypes detected in a sample obtained from the subject. In some embodiments, the combination of genotypes is significantly associated with the increased fold-change in TL1A, and in some cases, may also be predictive of severe forms of the inflammatory disease or condition. In some embodiments, the inflammatory disease or condition is an inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

  • Publication number: 20220363745
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the finding that TL1A enhances differentiation of TH17 cells, and enhance IL17 secretion from TH17 cells. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method of treating an inflammatory disease comprising determining the presence of a TL1A signaling profile, and treating the disease by administering a composition comprising a therapeutically effective dosage of one or more inhibitors of TL1A or TH17 cell differentiation. In another embodiment, the disease is characterized by TH17 differentiation.

  • Patent number: 11473061
    Abstract: Organs-on-chips are microfluidic devices for culturing living cells in micrometer sized chambers in order to model physiological functions of tissues and organs. Engineered patterning and continuous fluid flow in these devices has allowed culturing of intestinal cells bearing physiologically relevant features and sustained exposure to bacteria while maintaining cellular viability, thereby allowing study of inflammatory bowl diseases. However, existing intestinal cells do not possess all physiologically relevant subtypes, do not possess the repertoire of genetic variations, or allow for study of other important cellular actors such as immune cells. Use of iPSC-derived epithelium, including IBD patient-specific cells, allows for superior disease modeling by capturing the multi-faceted nature of the disease.

  • Publication number: 20220290235
    Abstract: This invention provides methods of diagnosis, predicting and diagnosing susceptibility to, predicting disease progression and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and/or subtypes of Crohn's disease (CD) and/or Ulcerative Colitis (UC). In one embodiment, a method of the invention is practiced by determining the presence or absence of the genetic variants NOD2, TLR8, TLR2, CARD8, CARD15 and/or JAK3 to diagnose, predict and diagnose susceptibility and predict disease progression in an individual. In another embodiment, a method of the invention is practiced by determining the presence or absence of anti-Cbir1, anti-OmpC, ASCA, anti-I2 and/or pANCA in an individual. In another embodiment, the invention further associates the presence or absence of the risk variants with the expression of anti-Cbir1, anti-OmpC, ASCA, anti-I2 and/or pANCA for the diagnosis, prediction of susceptibility, prediction of disease progression and/or treatment of IBD, including CD and/or UC.
