Novel IBD therapeutic approaches reported from Washington Univ., Barcelona, LSU at APS meeting

brogated colitis both clinically and by histological criteria. Mice treated with CTLA-4-Ig and TNBS had a 100% survival rate and a significant reduction in colonic TNFmRNA expression regardless of IDO inhibition. IDO inhibition with 1-methyl-tryptophan (1mT), however, prevented colitis abrogation by CTLA-4-Ig both clinically and by histological criteria, and decreased colonic TGFmRNA expression.

The researchers conclude their study suggests that CTLA-4-Ig promotes tolerance in TNBS colitis both via IDO induction as well as through costimulatory blockade, and suggests a potential therapeutic role for CTLA-4-Ig in treating IBD.
