Key Points
To examine the relationship between immune cell populations and epithelial integrity in inflammatory bowel disease.
Utilized an 8-plex SignalStar multiplex immunohistochemistry assay.
Compared M1 and M2 macrophages, CD177+ and CD177- neutrophils in normal, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis tissues.
Evaluated the proximity of immune cell types to epithelial cells.
Higher proportions of M1 macrophages and neutrophils found in inflammatory bowel disease.
Reduced epithelial barrier function observed in active ulcerative colitis.
Increased formation of neutrophil extracellular traps in ulcerative colitis.
