Based on our results, smoking has a positive influence on cessation and the clinical course of UC due to the stimulation of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL 10 in mucosa.
Similarly, smokers with UC have a significantly decreased mRNA expression of cytokine TLR 2 (p=0.024) and CCR1 (p=0.049) in non-inflamed mucosa of sigma.
Immunostaining of UC and CACC tissue samples confirmed the elevated number of M2-like macrophages as well as high expression of ST6GALNAC1 and the altered MUC1-sTn glycoform on colon cells.

We determined that aUC (<i>n</i> = 24) showed high IL-33 levels, and decreased expression of miR-378a-3p and miR-422a compared to inactive UC (<i>n</i> = 10) and controls (<i>n</i> = 6).

The pharmacokinetic and exposure response profiles of ustekinumab, a monoclonal antibody against interleukin 12/interleukin 23, are known in patients with Crohn's disease, yet there are few data from patients with ulcerative colitis.
This analysis revealed that the inflammatory environment of ulcerative colitis promoted CHIP with a distinct mutational spectrum, notably positive selection of clones with DNMT3A and PPM1D mutations.
The high-dose of PZ also increased the HSP70 protein level, inhibited AKT phosphorylation in a DSS-induced UC animal model, and decreased white blood cell and neutrophil % counts compared to levels in an untreated DSS control group.
Local dominance of Gal-3 and IL-10 over pro-inflammatory mediators in patients with MetS may present a mechanism for limiting the inflammatory process and subsequent tissue damage in UC.
This was accompanied with predomination of IL-10 over pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-17 (IL-17) in the sera as well as Gal-3 over TNF-α and IL-17 in feces of UC patients with MetS.

Head to head comparison of two commercial fecal calprotectin kits as predictor of Mayo endoscopic sub-score and mucosal TNF expression in ulcerative colitis.
Stromal TF positivity was found exclusively in ongoing inflammation.<b>Conclusion:</b> Our study provides additional support for a divergent pathogenesis in PSC-UC, with an inflammatory environment that differs from classical UC.
Trials of other anti-IL-23 agents in UC are under way and designed to explore head-to-head efficacy with existing biologics, as well as the prospect of combination biological therapy.
The cytokine TNF is thought to play a major role in the immunopathogenesis of ulcerative colitis, and anti-TNF antibodies are considered as cornerstones of clinical therapy.
