Riboflavin Supplementation in Patients with Crohn's Disease [the RISE-UP study].

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Crohn's disease [CD] is characterised by chronic intestinal inflammation and dysbiosis in the gut. Riboflavin [vitamin B2] has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and microbiome-modulatory properties. Here, we analysed the effect of riboflavin on oxidative stress, markers of inflammation, clinical symptoms, and faecal microbiome in patients with CD. METHODS:In this prospective clinical intervention study, patients received 100 mg riboflavin [DSM, Nutritional Products Ltd] daily for 3 weeks. Clinical disease activity [Harvey-Bradshaw Index: HBI], serum biomarkers of inflammation and redox status [plasma free thiols], and faecal microbiome taxonomical composition and functionality [fluorescent in situ hybridisation: FISH; and metagenomic shotgun sequencing: MGS], were analysed before and after riboflavin intervention. RESULTS:In total, 70 patients with CD with varying disease activity were included. Riboflavin supplementation significantly decreased serum levels of inflammatory markers. In patients with low faecal calprotectin [FC] levels, IL-2 decreased, and in patients with high FC levels, C-reactive protein [CRP] was reduced and free thiols significantly increased after supplementation. Moreover, HBI was significantly decreased by riboflavin supplementation. Riboflavin supplementation led to decreased Enterobacteriaceae in patients with low FC levels as determined by FISH; however, MGS analysis showed no effects on diversity, taxonomy, or metabolic pathways of the faecal microbiome. CONCLUSIONS:Three weeks of riboflavin supplementation resulted in a reduction in systemic oxidative stress, mixed anti-inflammatory effects, and a reduction in clinical symptoms [HBI]. FISH analysis showed decreased Enterobacteriaceae in patients with CD with low FC levels, though this was not observed in MGS analysis. Our data demonstrate that riboflavin supplementation has a number of anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects in CD.

Project description:Background: It remains uncertain whether vitamin D3 (vitD3) supplementation is beneficial for remission of Crohn's disease (CD). The influence of vitD3 supplementation on Infliximab (IFX) effectiveness was analyzed in Chinese CD patients. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, moderate-to-severe CD patients, who were bio-naïve and prescribed with IFX treatment for at least 54 weeks, were recorded from January 2014 to December 2019. VitD3 supplementation was defined as patients additionally took oral vitD3 (125 IU/d) within 3 days after the first infusion and persisted in the whole follow-up period. Disease activity was assessed using Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI). Serum cytokine profiles (IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, and IFN-γ) were quantitatively analyzed in a subset of all patients at baseline and 54-week after intervention. Results: Among 73 enrolled patients, 37 took vitD3 regularly (D3-patients), the others (non-D3-patients) did not. At 54-week, the mean 25-hydroxyvitaminD level increased in D3-patients (20.33 vs. 15.07 ng/mL, P < 0.001). The clinical remission rate was higher in D3-patients compared to non-D3-patients (83.8 vs. 61.6%, P = 0.030). The decrease of HBI from baseline to 54-week was more in D3-patients than non-D3-patients (7.41 ± 3.0 vs. 6.28 ± 2.75, P = 0.023). Furthermore, vitD3 supplementation was independently related to the increase of remission rate at 54-week in D3-patients (β = −1.667, P = 0.015). The benefit of vitD3 supplementation was significant only in patients with deficient vitD3 (all P < 0.05), but not in non-deficient vitD3. A total of nine patients (four non-D3-patients and five D3-patients) were selected to determine serum cytokine profiles after 54-week IFX treatment. In non-D3-patients, the decreases of TNF-α and IL-6 at 54-week were more obvious than at baseline (P = 0.032, 0.022, respectively). In D3-patients, however, only IL-10 increased at 54-week compared with its baseline value (P = 0.037). Conclusions: VitD3 supplementation could improve IFX effectiveness in CD patients, especially for patients with vitD3 deficiency. This beneficial effect of vitD3 supplementation probably arose from the up-regulation of IL-10. Trial Registration: NCT04606017.
