Gut-Brain Axis Dysregulation in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Implications for Coagulation Abnormalities and Extraintestinal Manifestations

Int J Gen Med. 2026 Mar 24;19:590621. doi: 10.2147/IJGM.S590621. eCollection 2026.

ABSTRACT

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves chronic intestinal inflammation driven by gut-brain axis imbalance, fostering complications through an "inflammation-neuro-coagulation" triad. Current staging systems inadequately capture the dynamics of this multidimensional network. Therefore, integrated multi-omics analyses-including metagenomics, metabolomics, and single-cell transcriptomics-are essential to construct dynamic models that monitor coagulation, microbiome, and metabolism for precise assessment of disease activity and thrombotic or bleeding risks. Interventions targeting gut-brain axis nodes, such as eliminating tissue factor-positive (TF⁺) T cells or modulating vagal activity, show potential to disrupt the inflammation-coagulation cycle, although rigorous randomized trials are still needed. Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted systems that integrate real-time biomarker monitoring with multi-omics predictions represent a novel paradigm for managing IBD-related coagulation dysfunction. Key challenges include elucidating gut-brain-liver axis regulation of coagulation and characterizing platelet functional heterogeneity. Future efforts must prioritize ethically compliant multi-omics platforms and racially stratified risk models to advance personalized coagulation management in IBD.

Trem1 regulates neutrophil metabolism and recruitment in lung ischemia-reperfusion injury

Redox Biol. 2026 Jan 14;92:104026. doi: 10.1016/j.redox.2026.104026. Online ahead of print.

ABSTRACT

Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major complication after lung transplantation, yet its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (Trem1) is an important mediator of inflammation, but its role in neutrophil function and metabolic reprogramming during lung IRI is not well understood. In this study, we used a murine orthotopic lung transplantation model with cold ischemia and reperfusion, and Trem1 knockout (Trem1-/-) and myeloid-specific Trem1 conditional knockout mice (LysmCreTrem1fl) to explore the role of Trem1 in neutrophil recruitment, neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, and metabolism. Our results show that Trem1 expression increases in both mouse and human lungs after reperfusion and correlates with neutrophil infiltration and lung injury. Trem1 deficiency significantly reduced neutrophil and macrophage recruitment, NET formation, and tissue damage. Multi-omics analysis revealed that Trem1 deletion suppressed oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and induced a metabolic shift in neutrophils toward glycolysis. In clinical samples, the abundance of TREM1+ neutrophils was correlated with PGD severity and OXPHOS activity. These findings identify Trem1 as a key regulator of neutrophil metabolism and recruitment in lung IRI, and suggest that targeting Trem1 may provide a novel therapeutic strategy to mitigate PGD and improve lung transplant outcomes.
