deposition (score 4), and nally all layers including serosa (score 5). Interestingly, there is also consideration of the percent of the section involved by brosis (Table11.1), an important consideration given the segmental, and microscopically patchy, nature of Crohn’s disease. The more recent mouse scoring system by Higgins et al. (Table 11.2) utilizes a progressive score considering only brosis (collagen deposition) affecting the mucosa and submucosa on Masson trichrome stained sections, with four tiers, from no brosis (score 0) to severe brosis (score 3). This scoring system is much less detailed than the earlier one, and has also been used on human tissue comparing brosis on pathology to exvivo ultrasound evalu­ation in patients with inammatory bowel disease [29].
Histologic scoring of brosis in studies comparing to radiographic ndings are also somewhat less detailed, and do not include the percent section involvement, presumably due to examining only strictured segments. These studies use human tissue with Hematoxylin & Eosin stained sections. Adler etal. [26] separates bro­sis grade from muscle thickness, specically thickening of the muscularis propria (Table11.3). Unlike the earlier rodent scoring systems described above, this scoring

does not recognize mucosal brosis, or muscularis mucosae brosis or hyperplasia. Fibrosis is scored progressively, but considers submucosa, muscularis propria, and subserosa in each grade (Table11.3). Chiorean etal. [28] takes a simplied approach with fewer score options in a three-tiered system (Table 11.4). Focus is again on submucosal brosis and on muscularis hyperplasia, though it is not specied whether this is referring to muscularis mucosae or muscularis propria.
Scoring schema from studies looking at resection specimen margins are proba­bly the most generally applicable, as they consider pathologic features of Crohn’s disease generally, not just ndings from a stricture. Fibrosis of muscularis mucosae and submucosa are the focus, without specic mention of mucosa, muscularis pro­pria, or subserosa, and a three-tiered progressive intensity grade was used [30, 31]. Interestingly, Maconi etal. [27] applied this scoring system, slightly modied to include four-tiers, to a group of Crohn’s patients resected for ileal stenosis (stricture), where representative sections along the entire resected segment length were analyzed, and correlated the histologic ndings with ultrasound echo patterns.
Neither the mouse nor the human scoring systems described here have been validated. As brosis in Crohn’s disease is not generally thought to progress from
11 Histopathology ofIntestinal Fibrosis
169
lumen to serosa, a scoring system that accounts for all layers of the bowel wall simultaneously is preferred. A similar scoring system should be applicable to both mice and human studies. The ideal Crohn’s brosis scoring system would account for changes in the muscularis mucosae, including both hyperplasia and brosis, submucosal brosis and muscularization, muscularis propria hyperplasia and bro­sis, and subserosal brosis. A four-tiered scoring system (e.g. none, mild, moderate, severe) applied to each site (i.e. mucosa, muscularis mucosae, submucosa, muscu­laris propria, and subserosa) would be ideal, at least in early studies until clinical correlation could be established, and then perhaps the score could be contracted into three tiers. As Crohn’s disease is patchy, multiple sections per specimen should be assessed, and a unied “per specimen” score could also be generated. Again, clini­cal correlation studies would be needed to best understand whether the unied score would reect the highest overall score, or a combination of the scores from each section examined.
As the recognition and understanding of brosis in ulcerative colitis lags behind that of Crohn’s disease, so does the concept of brosis scoring schema for ulcerative colitis. Measurement of the bowel wall layers has revealed muscularis mucosae thickening in ulcerative colitis [22], as well as increased bronectin and collagen I in the mucosa, increased collagen I in the muscularis mucosae, and increased col­lagen I and III in the muscularis propria [32].
We developed a histologic brosis burden score for ulcerative colitis with a three-tiered approach focusing on the percent of submucosal brosis, and found moderate interobserver agreement on Hematoxylin & Eosin stained sections, and signicant correlation when compared to Masson trichrome stain and Sirius red stain [22]. Bowel wall layer measurements revealed thickening of the muscularis mucosae, and this correlated with the presence of chronic mucosal injury [22].

11.4 Conclusion

In summary, fibrosis is a defining histopathologic feature of Crohn’s disease. A variety of histologic scoring systems have been developed to evaluate fibrosis of inflammatory bowel disease, with a focus on Crohn’s disease. In ulcerative colitis, recognition of histologic fibrosis has not been part of the diagnostic cadre, but has certainly been recognized and described in the literature. More studies evaluating the clinicopathologic correlation of fibrosis in ulcerative colitis are needed. Current histologic scoring systems reveal a variety of defini­tions of fibrosis and are incongruent as to the importance of fibrosis and mesen­chymal cell hyperplasia in each of the bowel wall layers. Perhaps a unified histologic fibrosis scoring system, which can account for Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, strictured and non-strictured areas, and which incorporates the current understanding of the pathophysiology of fibrosis in inflammatory bowel disease, would be needed before widespread use could be established for clinical trials.

Abstract Intestinal brosis, which is due to an exaggerated accumulation of
extracellular matrix, is a frequent complication of inammatory bowel disease (IBD) leading to intestinal obstruction and need for surgery. Currently, there are no biomarkers able to predict the development of intestinal brosis in patients with inammatory bowel disease. Most of the candidate biomarkers, including clinical factors (i.e. smoking, ileal location, early use of steroids), circulating cells (i.e. brocytes), serum extracellular matrix components (i.e. collagen, bronectin) or enzymes (i.e. tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1), serum growth factors (i.e. basic broblast growth factor, YKL-40) and serum antimicrobial antibodies (i.e. anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies ASCA), have been shown to predict a disabling disease course rather than a brostenosing phenotype. In this chapter we critically review clinical, cellular and serological biomarkers of intestinal brosis in inammatory bowel disease.

12.1 Introduction

Currently, there are no reliable biomarkers useful in clinical practice in predicting the risk of developing intestinal brosis with subsequent stricture formation in inammatory bowel disease (IBD) [1]. Proposed biomarkers, such as clinical fac­tors (i.e. smoking, ileal location, early use of steroids), circulating cells (i.e. bro­cytes), serum extracellular matrix (ECM) components (i.e. collagen, bronectin) or enzymes [i.e. tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1], serum growth factors [i.e. basic broblast growth factor (bFGF), YKL-40] and serum antimicro­bial antibodies [i.e. anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA)], have shown contradictory results mostly derived from retrospective studies on relatively hetero­geneous patients’ cohorts. Moreover, most of the above mentioned factors were reported to be predictive of a disabling disease course rather than of a stricturing phenotype (Fig.12.1). Biomarkers of intestinal brosis are needed as they would be useful for the management of IBD patients at risk of brostenotic complications, and for the identication of early phases of the brogenic process in order to prevent stricture development [2]. In this chapter we critically revise the diagnostic and prognostic power of brogenic biomarkers in IBD.

A number of clinical factors, such as diagnosis before 40years of age, early need for steroids, thiopurines or anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α agents, perianal dis­ease, smoking habitus, ileal location, disease activity and deep mucosal ulceration,

have been demonstrated to be predictors of either disabling disease or post-surgical recurrence in IBD patients [3, 4]. However, only ileal location, disease activity and use of steroids were found to be specically associated with stricture development according to observational data derived from TREAT Registry [5]. Currently, the predictive power of all the above mentioned candidate clinical factors has not been tested in large prospective ad-hoc studies, thus their value in clinical practice as brogenic predictors is still under debate.

12.3 Cellular Biomarkers

Circulating brocytes are mesenchymal progenitor cells derived from bone marrow and considered as marker of brosis in idiopathic pulmonary brosis [6]. Conversely, no data have been obtained so far on circulating brocytes in patients with stricturing CD. However, an increased percentage of brocytes has been reported either in the peripheral blood or in the inamed gut mucosa from CD patients [7]. Of note, brocytes isolated from peripheral blood of CD patients produce high amount of collagen type I after in vitro stimulation with lipopolysaccharide [7].

12.4 Serologic Biomarkers

Serologic biomarkers include ECM proteins, growth factors and anti-microbial antibodies. As regards ECM components, serum N-terminal propeptide of collagen type III (PIIINP) is increased in stricturing CD prior to intestinal resection in com­parison to control subjects, and it decreases 6months after effective surgery [8]. On the other hand, a previous study reported no signicant difference of serum PIIINP between CD patients, whose phenotype was not specied, and controls [9]. Additionally, the same study [9] showed that serum C-terminal propeptide of col­lagen type I and C-terminal telopeptide of collagen type I were signicantly lower and higher, respectively, in CD patients than in controls. Although TIMP-1 was found to be up-regulated in CD intestinal mucosa overlying strictures [10], serum TIMP-1 levels were not increased in stricturing CD patients [11]. The enhanced liver brosis (ELF) test, a panel comprising three circulating biomarkers, such as hyaluronic acid, TIMP-1 and PIIINP, and predicting liver brosis [12], was shown to be a prognostic marker of liver transplantation-free survival in patients with pri­mary sclerosing cholangitis, most of whom had a concomitant diagnosis of IBD [13]. In our hands, ELF test was able to discriminate patients with stricturing CD from those with other phenotypes [unpublished data]. Serum laminin, a component of basement membrane, is increased in CD patients in comparison to control sub­jects, and correlates with disease activity but not with the stricturing phenotype [14]. Plasma bronectin, which is a high-molecular weight ECM glycoprotein, is up-regulated in CD patients with stricturing phenotype [15] and it signicantly decreases soon after intestinal resection [16]. Conversely, plasma bronectin did not predict the development of a post-surgical stricture over 1-year follow-up [16]. A number of serum ECM fragments derived from the cleavage by proteases impli­cated in tissue remodeling in chronic intestinal inammation [17], have been associ­ated with liver or skin brosis [18–20]. Some of these ECM fragments, such as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2/MMP-8-degraded and citrullinated vimentin, MMP-9-degraded collagen type III and MMP-9-degraded collagen type IV, were found to be abnormally expressed in the serum of IBD patients, however, the results were not stratied according to different CD phenotypes [21, 22].
Growth factors, which have been tested in the serum of CD patients as bro­genic biomarkers, encompass bFGF, human chitinase 3-like 1 (also known as YKL-40), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). Serum levels of bFGF, which promotes wound healing by acting on myobroblast proliferation, are up-regulated in CD patients [23–25], and are associated with the stricturing behavior and with the increased bowel wall thick­ness [25]. Serum YKL-40, which is produced by activated macrophages and neu­trophils and induces collagen secretion by intestinal myobroblasts, is increased in patients with CD in comparison to controls [26, 27]. As VEGF has been dem­onstrated to play a pro-brogenic and pro-angiogenic role in liver brosis [28], it has been also investigated in CD.In particular, VEGF is not only up-regulated in the serum of patients with CD [24, 25], but also correlates with color Doppler signaling, suggesting that VEGF might be considered a biomarker of angiogenesis
