Abstract

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a dysregulated inflammatory condition induced by multiple factors. The etiology of IBD is largely unknown, and the disease progression and prognosis are variable and unpredictable with uncontrolled disease behavior. Monitoring the status of chronic colitis closely is challenging for physicians, because the assessment of disease activity and severity require invasive methods. Using laboratory biomarkers may provide a useful alternative to invasive methods in the diagnosis and management of IBD. Furthermore, patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease are also at risk of developing cancer. Annual colonoscopies can help lower the risk for developing colorectal cancer. However, laboratory biomarkers may also be helpful as non-invasive indicators in predicting treatment responses, improving prognosis, and predicting possible tumors. This review addresses selected laboratory biomarkers (including ANCA, chitinase 3-like 1, S100A12/RAGE, calprotectin, and TNF/TNFR2), which are identified by utilizing two well-accepted animal models of colitis, dextran sodium sulfate-induced and T cell receptor alpha knockout colitis models. In addition to being useful for monitoring disease severity, these biomarkers are associated with therapeutic strategies. The factors may regulate the initiation and perpetuation of inflammatory factors in the gut.
