Prospects of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for Inflammatory Bowel Disease in the Context of Biological Agents
-
摘要: 炎症性肠病(inflammatory bowel disease,IBD)是一种慢性非特异性肠道炎症性疾病,目前发病机制尚不清楚,缺乏有效的治疗手段。生物制剂的问世,为IBD的治疗开启了新的篇章,一部分患者能达到临床缓解甚至黏膜愈合,但在临床实践中,仍然有不少患者初始治疗无应答或继发性失应答,不能完全控制疾病的进展。研究显示,肠道微生物群的改变在IBD发生发展中发挥关键作用,且可能作为评估生物制剂疗效的预测因子。粪菌移植(fecal microbiota transplantation,FMT)作为一种重建患者肠道微生态的新型治疗手段,在改善IBD症状、诱导并维持疾病的黏膜愈合甚至组织学缓解方面具有一定疗效。在生物制剂时代,FMT在IBD患者中的应用前景如何呢,将总结国内外相关的研究成果,为FMT在生物制剂时代治疗IBD的潜力、可行性等提供理论依据。Abstract: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, non-specific inflammatory condition of the intestines, and its mechanisms are still unclear, with effective treatments lacking. The advent of biologics has opened a new chapter in the treatment of IBD, with some patients achieving clinical remission or even mucosal healing. However, in clinical practice, there are still quite a few patients who either do not respond to initial treatment or experience secondary loss of response, making it difficult to fully control disease progression. Research shows that changes in the gut microbiota play a crucial role in the onset and progression of IBD, and they may serve as predictive factors for assessing the efficacy of biologics. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), as a new treatment method to restore the gut microecology of patients, has shown some effectiveness in improving IBD symptoms, inducing and maintaining mucosal healing, and even achieving histological remission. What does the future hold for the application of FMT in IBD patients in the era of biologics? This review will summarize relevant research results from both domestic and international sources to provide a theoretical basis for the potential and feasibility of using FMT in treating IBD during the biologics era.
