In recent decades, there has been an increase in the prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) all over the world. IBD manifestation begins before the age of 18 in 25% of patients. Three distinct disease categories are grouped under the general label of IBD: Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), and inflammatory bowel disease unspecified. When compared to UC, which can start at the rectal mucosa and potentially affect any portion of the digestive tract from the mouth to the anus, CD typically manifests as an ascending, continuous inflammation [1]. An inadequate response to commensal enteric bacteria is the result of dysregulation of the enteric immune system in genetically predisposed individuals, according to the currently accepted pathophysiological theory. IBD, however, is recognised as both an intestine and a systemic condition Extraintestinal manifestations of IBD (EIM) are a condition that can affect several organs. About 30% of adult IBD patients develop EIM, and 25% of them do so even before their IBD manifests. Affected organs other than the gut considerably increase the risk of developing further EIM. After 15 years of diagnosis, the prevalence of EIM in the paediatric population ranged from 17% to 28% [2].
The intestinal mucosal immune system's homeostasis is out of balance in IBD, which causes a dysregulated response to luminal, commensal bacteria, and other antigens. Leaky intestinal mucus and interepithelial cell connections are the initial stage in this dysregulation because they make it easier for antigens to pass through the intestinal epithelium. Dendritic cells identify these antigens as pathogens in a subsequent step, where they trigger a T-cell-mediated immune response. Additionally, interleukin 1 (IL-1) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)-secreted by activated macrophages cause the production of leucocyte adhesion molecules at endothelial blood vessels. The development of IBD is significantly influenced by this neutrophilmediated inflammation. Induced myeloid precursor cells in the bone marrow produce neutrophilic cells (Nc). secreted into the bloodstream by granulocyte colony stimulating factor and IL-17A. When Nc pass by inflammatory tissue, they become tethered to selectins (P-selectin and E-selectin) expressed by endothelial cells (EC) via P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 and then move into the inflamed tissue (referred to as margination and diapedesis) [3].
One explanation for the retention of neutrophils in the lung during active IBD is that it has been demonstrated that systemic inflammation increases the degree of margination and diapedesis of Nc in the pulmonary vasculature. Additionally, in contrast to other organs, the lung vasculature's neutrophilic emigration primarily occurs in smaller capillaries rather than post-capillary venules with a higher diameter. Consequently, the lung's Nc pooling time is extended. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that individuals with CD have higher pulmonary permeability, which promotes Nc emigration. Yipp. used confocal pulmonary intravital microscopy to show that during bacteremia, lung Nc recognise bacterial endotoxins (lipopolysaccharide) via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) binding, which causes Nc to crawl in a manner that is CD11b-dependent. As a result, macrophage activation by TLR4-myeloiddifferentiation main response gene 88 (Myd88) results in a faster response to bacterial infections. Thus, in addition to activating the EC to create selectins for Nc migration, this activation also causes the subsequent production of TNF-, chemokines, and other proinflammatory molecules via nuclear factor kappa B (NF-B) [4].
Nc becomes initially stimulated in the gut mucosa of IBD patients during episodes. when an illness flares. Reverse transendothelial migration (rTEM) is the term for a subset of these gut-primed Nc that can move from the luminal to the abluminal membrane. Additionally, IL-6, TNF-, interferon, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are also expressed in the inflammatory gut mucosa. An elevation of ligands for extravasation of Nc and an increase in vascular permeability in lung tissue are brought on by elevated systemic levels of these factors. In order to translocate into the pulmonary endothelium, the primed (rTEM) Nc recirculate to the circulation. JAM C is reduced in inflammatory, hypoxic tissue, which results in a higher rTEM of Nc, according to in vivo studies. Additionally, primed Nc alter their shape and turn malleable, resulting in a protracted pulmonary vasculature's transit time. It's interesting to note that the normal lung functions as an organ for de-priming Nc to maintain neutrophil equilibrium. However, in the wounded lung, this function is impaired, causing more primed Nc to pass through the pulmonary blood pool and more Nc to transmigrate into the pulmonary mucosa through the arterial blood stream. Finally, this results in an increased inflammation caused by neutrophils. During experimental colitis in rats, Aydin. discovered significantly higher VEGF and TNF- concentrations in lung tissue. The granulomatous manifestation of IBD in the lung is brought on by TNF-, which also causes neutrophil buildup and increased production of adhesion molecules. In conclusion, it can be said that the intimate bond between PM may be influenced by the mucosal immune systems of the gut and lungs via primed (rTEM) Nc [5-10].
The clinical issue of PM in IBD in children is underappreciated. The majority of paediatric instances with symptoms that were reported included CD kids. The common embryological ancestry of the gut and lung, the tight relationship between the pulmonary and intestinal immune systems, the similar production of different proinflammatory chemicals, genetic predisposition, and features of the microbiome are the current pathophysiology ideas for PM. When compared to adults, children experience PM in a largely silent manner, frequently impacting the parenchyma. PFT are not currently being used in the screening for PM due to conflicting study results in young IBD patients, however measuring LCI may offer a potential method to identify early lung injury. It's significant to note that interstitial lung disease in kids with IBD can also be brought on by drugs like mesalamine or biological treatments. In general, corticosteroids can be used to treat PM, either systemically for smaller airway involvement and parenchymal inflammation or inhaled for the larger airways. When corticosteroids are ineffective, IFX can be used. It should be thought of as a reasonable strategy to stop progressive lung damage in adults to screen for PM in kids with IBD.
