Definitions
- the present invention relates to a peptide that is able to selectively bind to biopsies of inflamed intestinal tissue taken from patients affected by ulcerative colitis, for the differential diagnosis of this pathology, thus allowing to distinguish it from Crohn's disease.
- a method for diagnosing ulcerative colitis, and a diagnostic kit are also described.
- IBD Inflammatory bowel disease
- UC ulcerative colitis
- CD Crohn's disease
- Ulcerative colitis essentially affects the rectum, sometimes it can extend, partially or totally, to the colon, while it never affects other parts of the intestine.
- the mucosa of the area(s) affected by UC is inflamed and ulcerated, and this results in the onset of all the characteristic symptoms.
- IBD is an idiopathic disease and, as such, its origin is not uniquely determined. Causes are sought in the living environment, genetic make-up, intestinal microbiota composition, and organism immune response.
- UC and CD The differential diagnosis of UC and CD is based on clinical laboratory, radiological, endoscopic, and histological evidence. However, due to histologic overlapping features in 10-15% of patients (especially pediatric patients (4)) and a similar localization of the inflammation, the differentiation between these two pathologies is not always certain. In addition, currently available genetic or serological markers do not provide conclusive information: at a genetic level, 163 genetic loci associated with IBD have been identified, of which only 23 are specific for UC, and 30 for CD (1 ), and it was observed that different genetic factors predispose to IBD through different inflammatory mechanisms (2, 3).
- Serological testing to search for ASCA (5) and pANCA (6) antibodies are also characterized by low specificity and sensitivity (7).
- other recently identified serologic markers e.g. anti-pancreatic antibodies (8, 9) anti-erythrocyte antibodies (10), anti- endothelial cell antibodies (1 1 )
- the low specificity of the currently available serological markers means that, to date, there is no universally recognized diagnostic test for the differential diagnosis of either CD or UC.
- the aim of the present invention is to provide a method suitable for rapid and early differential diagnosis of either CD or UC, useful to avoid the risk of prescribing inappropriate treatments, thus causing health issues to the patient, and increasing the costs for the treatment of the disease.
- the invention therefore concerns the use of a peptide having the sequence of SEQ ID NO.1 as a biological marker.
- the inventors have surprisingly found that such a protein enables the diagnosis of patients affected by ulcerative colitis distinguishing these patients from those affected by Crohn's disease or various types of intestinal inflammation.
- the peptide according to the present invention is able to selectively bind to biopsies of inflamed intestinal tissue taken from patients affected by UC, but not from CD, or non-IBD inflammation, supplementing the currently available diagnostic tools for IBD pathologies, especially when the current diagnostic approaches are not able to distinguish between the two pathologies.
- the present invention also relates to a method for the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, comprising the steps of:
- step c. contacting the sample of step a. with the substrate of step b.; and d. detecting the reaction signal, wherein when a signal is detected, ulcerative colitis is identified.
- the invention relates to a diagnostic kit comprising the peptide having the sequence of SEQ ID NO.1 , acting as an antigen, and a reagent for separate, simultaneous, and subsequent use for the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis.
- UC ulcerative colitis
- colitis ulcerosa ulcerative rectocolitis
- ulcerative rectocolitis are meant to include the chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the rectum, and may involve part or all of the colon. The causes of this inflammation are still unknown. The main clinical symptoms are diarrhea, often with blood and mucus, and abdominal pain;
- CD Crohn's disease
- Crohn's disease means a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect the entire gastrointestinal tract. causes are still unknown. It is characterized by intestinal ulcers, often alternating with healthy intestinal tracts, and, if not properly treated, can lead to complications, such as stenoses or fistulas, that may require surgery. Symptoms may vary from abdominal pain, to chronic diarrhea, weight loss, or low-grade fever. It may also affect the anal region with fistulas or abscesses. In most cases, immunosuppressive therapy and regular monitoring enable to control the disease and its progression.
- Figure 1 shows the graph of the differential affinity results of the phage carrying the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 (WPANTLK peptide): UC-ph, in mucosa samples of patients affected by various inflammatory pathologies of the colon.

- Figure 2C Diagram of the procedure followed for the bioaffinity experiment on a biopsy from a patient affected by UC, followed by ELISA quantification.
- Figure 3 shows the graph of the effective S/P values obtained by performing the ELISA test with a derivative of the CD-pep peptide (SEQ ID NO: 1 : WPANTLK) multimerized on ANANAS nanoparticles, and performing the test on mucosa of patients (total 67), affected by UC in an inflamed state (21 ) or in remission (15), CD in an inflamed state (12) or in remission (15), and non-IBD intestinal inflammatory disease (4).
- FIG. 4 Confocal fluorescence microscopy (40X) of biopsies of UC inflamed mucosa (4A, 4B, and 4C) treated with a derivative of UC-pep peptide (SEQ ID NO 1 : WPANTLK), multimerized on ANANAS nanoparticles.
- the box 4D represents a magnification (64X) of the area in the box of panel 4C.
- the peptide of SEQ ID NO:1 is present on the phage, and in the diagnostic test, in a cyclic form, given the presence of two cysteines at the head and tail of the sequence.
- the recognition specificity for the inflamed mucosa of patients affected by UC was then validated by using the isolated phage UC-ph, and counting the number of phages that bind to the mucosal biopsies of patients affected by different types of intestinal inflammation.
- the invention therefore concerns a peptide having the sequence of SEQ ID NO.1 , or a fluorescent derivative thereof, for use as a biological marker.
- the inventors have surprisingly found that such a protein enables the diagnoses of patients affected by ulcerative colitis, distinguishing such patients form those affected by
- IBD Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
- UC ulcerative colitis
- CD Crohn's disease
- This invention relates to the identification of a peptide sequence being for the first time able to selectively bind to biopsies of inflamed intestinal tissue taken from patients affected by UC (SEQ ID NO:1 : WPANTLK), but not by CD or non-IBD inflammation, and the use of this peptide or derivatives thereof in diagnostic testing for the the rapid and selective diagnosis of this pathology.
- this method could supplement currently available diagnostic tools for IBD pathologies, especially when the current diagnostic approaches are not able to distinguish between the two pathologies.
- the peptide according to the present invention is therefore a biological marker to distinguish between patients affected by ulcerative colitis and patients affected by Crohn's diseases.
- the present invention also relates to a method for the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, comprising the steps of:
- step c. contacting the sample of step a. with the substrate of step b.; and d. detecting the reaction signal, wherein when a signal is detected, ulcerative colitis is identified.
- the method according to the invention enables to distinguish patients affected by ulcerative colitis from those affected by Crohn's disease, or different types of intestinal inflammation.
- said peptide having the sequence of SEQ ID NO.1 is immobilized on the surface of the solid support of step b.
- the peptide according to the present invention is able to selectively bind to biopsies of inflamed intestinal tissue taken from patients affected by UC, but not by CD or non-IBD inflammation, supplementing the currently available diagnostic tools for IBD pathologies, especially when the current diagnostic approaches are not able to distinguish between the two pathologies.
- Such a solid support allows the multimerization of the peptide, and it is selected from the group consisting of nanoparticles, polyfunctionalizable polymers, or by adsorption on plastic surfaces (e.g. polystyrene).
- the detection step d. is carried out by a technique selected from the group consisting of ELISA assay, radioimmunoassays (RIA), immunoassays, preferably Western blot and LINE blot, assays with protein or DNA microarrays, and surface plasmon resonance detection (SPR).
- a technique selected from the group consisting of ELISA assay, radioimmunoassays (RIA), immunoassays, preferably Western blot and LINE blot, assays with protein or DNA microarrays, and surface plasmon resonance detection (SPR).
- said biological sample of step a. is a biopsy, preferably an intestinal tissue biopsy, more preferably a biopsy of inflamed intestinal tissue, or patient's serum.
- the biopsy may, for example, derive from the colon mucosa, or the pouch region of operated patients.
- the invention relates to a diagnostic kit comprising the peptide having the sequence of SEQ ID NO.1 , acting as an antigen, and a reagent for separate, simultaneous, and subsequent use for the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis.
- said peptide having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 is immobilized on a solid support, preferably on a nanoparticle, or a polyfuctionalized colloidal support.
- Mucosal biopsies were taken from the colon or ileum of patients affected by intestinal inflammatory pathologies of different types, after informed consent. The patients were subjected to colonoscopy evaluation or, when scheduled, they underwent surgery.
- the biopsies were stored in DMEM at 4°C, and used within 2 hours.
- the biopsies were incubated with 4x10 10 CFU of CD-ph suspended in 1 imL of PBS buffer, under constant mild stirring. After 30 minutes, the biopsies were subjected to subsequent washing cycles (1 x PBST + 4x PBS) and dried by aspiration. 100 ⁇ _ of 0,2M glycine-HCI buffer, pH 2.2, were then added to the biopsies, and after 5 minutes the solution was aspirated and immediately neutralized with 15 ⁇ _ of 1 M TRIS buffer, pH 9.1 .

- the nanoparticles affinity-bound to the biopsies were removed by acidic treatment with 100 ⁇ _ of 2M glycine buffer, pH 2.0, and after 5 minutes the acidic solution was transferred into a second test tube, and immediately neutralized with 15 ⁇ _ of 1 M TRIS buffer, pH 9.1 .
- the nanoparticles content in the various washing solutions, and in the detachment solution, was obtained through an ELISA test.
- the solutions were incubated in microwells of an ELISA plate (50 ⁇ _ ⁇ / ⁇ ), pre-conditioned so as to expose immobilized biotin on the surface. After 3 hours incubation at RT, the microwells were washed extensively, and added with 2 ⁇ g/mL (50 ⁇ _/ ⁇ ) of biotin-HRP (ANANAS nanotech, PD, Italy). After 30 minutes, the biotin-HRP solution was removed, and the plate developed with a solution of tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), blocking the enzymatic reaction after 20 minutes by addition of 0.5M H2SO4.
- TMB tetramethylbenzidine
- the absorbance intensity generated in each well was measured spectrophotometrically at 450 nm, and compared to that generated in the well of the respective positive control, in which the corresponding nano- assembled ANANAS-peptide was incubated at a known concentration.
- the absorbance data were processed according to the following formula:
- - S/P Scrambled corresponds to the same value generated by performing the test on a second biopsy with a peptide having the same amino acid composition, but whose amino acids have been aligned in inverted order.
- Figure 2 shows the sequences of the biotinylated peptides used in the test, the multimerization procedure using ANANAS particles, and the test operation scheme based on the use of multimerized synthetic peptides combined with the ELISA method.

- Confocal fluorescence microscopy images were obtained from a series of UC samples, and from biopsies of normal mucosa, treated with the multimerized peptide in the same way as in the ELISA assays, and fixed before the acidic elution phase.
- fluorescence is localized at the epithelial surface level, while no signal is observed at the lumen cells level, clearly indicating that targets are on the surface.
