Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim of this study is to clarify how CA I fluctuates in faeces and colonic epithelial cells of patients with ulcerative colitis during enteritis, and to determine whether hCAI protein, which increases or decreases in faeces during enteritis, can serve as a biomarker. Quantification of CA I in faeces can predict the extent of enteritis without the need for colonoscopy, and it would be of great benefit to patients if a cut-off value could be identified to measure the risk of recurrence of enteritis or the need for intensified treatment, including in the clinical course. The aim is also to clarify in humans the changes in the gut microbiota associated with increases or decreases in CA I that have been identified at the mouse level, in order to investigate the underlying mechanisms of onset and exacerbation of enteritis and to evaluate the beneficial gut bacteria and other factors.
The possibility of hCAI functioning as a biomarker in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and its correlation with intestinal bacteria will be analysed by collecting samples of CAI protein in tissue and faeces of patients with ulcerative colitis by biopsy during endoscopy, quantifying them later, and examining their correlation with clinical scores and mucosal healing.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

To determine whether CA I can be a biomarker for ulcerative colitis.

Key secondary outcomes

To determine the role of CA1 protein, which increases or decreases in the gut of patients with ulcerative colitis, during enteritis (in relation to the gut microbiota and faecal metabolites).
