Intraepithelial and lamina propria leucocyte subsets in inflammatory bowel disease: an immunohistochemical study of colon and rectal biopsy specimens.

Abstract: Conclusions-Because of the phenotypic differences in the inflammatory infiltrate in the mucosa from the sigmoid colon and the rectum, the segment of the intestine to be biopsied should be specified. Assessment of the leucocytic component of the intraepithelial infiltrate in rectal biopsy specimens was more useful than examination of colonic biopsy specimens in the differential diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

“…In agreement with the reported increase in CD31 CD81 IEL in the rectal mucosa of Crohn's disease patients (30) and enhanced cytolytic activity of these cells (31), IL10(2/2) mice treated with the control diet had the highest proportion of CD31 IEL, most of them also expressing the CD8 phenotype. This was associated with a high incidence of colitis.…”

“…IEL from both patients with Crohn's disease and control patients consisted predominantly of CD3 + T cells and were devoid of B cells. The lack of B cells also excluded a potential contamination of the isolated cell population with lamina propria lymphocytes [14,22,23]. However, it has to be noted that there was a substantial percentage of non-lymphoid contaminating cells within the analyzed cell population.…”

“…In patients with IBD, immune cell infiltrates are increased in the intestinal mucosa (5,21), and plasma cell and T-lymphocyte numbers are increased in the lamina propria (21,39). Lymphocytes and macrophages secrete Ucn1, and specific immune cells express its receptor, CRF 2 , after activation by lipopolysaccharides and glucocorticoids (34).…”
