Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes the subtypes Crohn?s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a common disease particularly in the Western world. IBD is characterised by inflammation of the small intestine and/or colon. The two subtypes affect different gut locations but both show an increased intestinal permeability or the ?leaky gut syndrome?. This led to the hypothesis that tight junction (TJ) proteins expressed in the epithelium may affect the intestinal permeability as a cause or effect of IBD.Initially, variants in the CARD15, IL23R and ATG16L1 genes, previously associated with an increased risk of IBD, were genotyped in a cohort of 500 IBD (295 CD and 205 UC) patients and 877 matched controls. These variants were significantly associated in our cohort. A random effects meta-analysis was undertaken on all previously reported CD associations with the variant rs2241880 from ATG16L1 (n=25, p=0.0017, OR: 1.36 95% CI 1.12-1.66) and with rs11209026 from IL23R (n=26, p=0.0006, OR: 0.37 95% CI 0.21-0.67), showing pooled odds ratios consistent with those reported in our cohort. Individuals carrying >1 CARD15 mutant variant were found to have a 2.5 fold increased risk of CD (p=0.0001). Candidate TJ proteins were chosen on the basis of previous reported associations and through the investigation of the claudin proteins which are abundant at TJs. Twenty one candidate genes were selected and 79 variants successfully genotyped in up to 1063 IBD (502 CD and 478 UC) and 870 control patients. Significant associations were detected with variants in the CLDN1, CLDN5 and CDH1 genes with CD; CLDN5, CLDN8 and CDH1 variants were associated to IBD; and the rs7791132 variant (between CLDN4 and ELN) and a CDH1 variant were associated to UC. The CLDN1 rs6809685 variant trended towards association in a Toronto ascertained IBD replication cohort (genotypic p=0.04, allelic p=0.06) suggesting this may be a novel IBD susceptibility variant. Small intestinal biopsies from CD patients with known rs6809685 genotypes showed a dose dependent reduced immunohistochemical staining of claudin 1 with carriage of the mutant G allele. Claudin 1 helps seal TJs and reduced levels may increase risk of CD.Peroxisome proliferator activator receptors (PPARs) can directly affect TJ proteins and could therefore affect intestinal permeability. Twelve PPAR? variants were genotyped in up to 1050 IBD (502 CD and 467 UC) and 725 control patients. Significant genotypic associations were found with the rs2067819 variant in CD (p=0.05) and IBD (p=0.02), and also the rs13099634 variant in UC (P=0.02). There was a strong gender difference particularly for rs2067819 and rs4135247, where allelic associations were highly significant and increased risk of IBD in men (p=0.01 and p=0.007 respectively). However no significant associations were found in the female cohort. Troglitazone a PPAR? agonist increased Caco2 cell transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER), a marker of TJ integrity, and increased expression of claudins -3 and -4. In contrast, the PPAR? antagonist GW6471 reduced the TEER without causing cell death and PPAR? ligands did not affect TEER measurements. In summary, using a robust cohort of cases and controls the data indicates that variants in genes encoding TJ proteins may affect susceptibility to IBD and that PPARs can regulate these proteins altering intestinal permeability.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
