Background and aims: The trigger hypothesis opens the possibility of anti-flare initiation therapies by stating that ulcerative colitis (UC) flares originate from inadequate responses to acute mucosal injuries. However, experimental evidence is restricted by a limited use of suitable human models. We thus aimed to investigate the acute mucosal barrier injury responses in humans with and without UC using an experimental injury model. Methods: A standardized mucosal break was inflicted in the sigmoid colon of 19 patients with UC in endoscopic and histological remission and 20 control subjects. Postinjury responses were assessed repeatedly by high-resolution imaging and sampling to perform Geboes scoring, RNA sequencing, and injury niche microbiota 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. Results: UC patients had more severe endoscopic postinjury inflammation than did control subjects (P < .01), an elevated modified Geboes score (P < .05), a rapid induction of innate response gene sets (P < .05) and antimicrobial peptides (P < .01), and engagement of neutrophils (P < .01). Innate lymphoid cell type 3 (ILC3) markers were increased preinjury (P < .01), and ILC3 activating cytokines were highly induced postinjury, resulting in an increase in ILC3-type cytokine interleukin-17A. Across groups, the postinjury mucosal microbiome had higher bacterial load (P < .0001) and lower α-diversity (P < .05). Conclusions: UC patients in remission respond to mucosal breaks by an innate hyperresponse engaging resident regulatory ILC3s and a subsequent adaptive activation. The postinjury inflammatory bowel disease–like microbiota diversity decrease is irrespective of diagnosis, suggesting that the dysbiosis is secondary to host injury responses. We provide a model for the study of flare initiation in the search for antitrigger-directed therapies. |
