The pathogenic course of EoE begins with tissue injury, marked by the intricate interplay of oesophageal barrier dysfunction and T helper 2-mediated inflammation. In response to tissue damage, a subsequent phase of tissue remodelling features a complex interaction between epithelial cells and stromal cells, aimed at tissue repair. The persistence of inflammation drives these mechanisms towards oesophageal fibrostenosis, mainly through the transforming growth factor-dependent, myofibroblast-driven accumulation of the extracellular matrix. Currently, treatment options for EoE are limited, with dietary intervention, proton pump inhibitors and oral steroids serving as first-line therapies. Dupilumab, an antiinterleukin (IL) 4/IL-13 agent, is the only biologic that has been approved by European and American regulatory authorities. However, emerging OMIC technologies significantly advance our understanding of EoE pathogenesis, revealing novel cellular and molecular mechanisms driving the disease. This progress has accelerated the identification of new therapeutic targets and agents, some already under clinical investigation, potentially expanding our therapeutic arsenal and paving the way for more personalised approaches. In this evolving landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) has shown great potential to further elaborate on the complexities of EoE heterogeneity, offering standardised tools for diagnosis, disease phenotyping, and prediction of treatment response. Though still in their early stages, integrating OMICs and AI marks a pivotal step towards precision medicine in EoE.</p>","PeriodicalId":12825,"journal":{"name":"Gut","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":23.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142806864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Normal wound healing is represented by a transitory phase of inflammation, followed by a pro-resolution phase, with prostaglandin (PGE2/PGD2)-induced ‘lipid class switching’ producing inflammation-quenching lipoxins (LXA4, LXB4). Objective We explored if lipid dysregulation in colorectal cancers (CRCs) is driven by a failure to resolve inflammation. Design We performed liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) untargeted analysis of 40 human CRC and normal paired samples and targeted, quantitative analysis of 81 human CRC and normal paired samples. We integrated analysis of lipidomics, quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, large scale gene expression, and spatial transcriptomics with public scRNASEQ data to characterize pattern, expression and cellular localisation of genes that produce and modify lipid mediators. Results Targeted, quantitative LC–MS/MS demonstrated a marked imbalance of pro-inflammatory mediators, with a dearth of resolving lipid mediators. In tumours, we observed prominent over-expression of arachidonic acid derivatives, the genes encoding their synthetic enzymes and receptors, but poor expression of genes producing pro-resolving synthetic enzymes and resultant lipoxins (LXA4, LXB4) and associated receptors. These results indicate that CRC is the product of defective lipid class switching likely related to inadequate or ineffective levels of PGE2/PGD2. Conclusion We show that the lipidomic profile of CRC tumours exhibits a distinct pro-inflammatory bias with a deficiency of endogenous resolving mediators secondary to defective lipid class switching. These observations pave the way for ‘resolution medicine’, a novel therapeutic approach for inducing or providing resolvins to mitigate the chronic inflammation driving cancer growth and progression.
