: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder marked by persistent gastrointestinal inflammation and a spectrum of systemic effects, including extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) that impact the joints, skin, liver, and eyes. Conventional therapies primarily target intestinal inflammation, yet they frequently fail to ameliorate these systemic complications. Recent investigations have highlighted the complex interplay among the immune system, gut, and nervous system in IBD pathogenesis, thereby underscoring the need for innovative therapeutic approaches. : We conducted a comprehensive literature search using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. Keywords including "cannabinoids", "endocannabinoid system", "endocannabinoidome", "inflammatory bowel disease", and "extraintestinal manifestations" were used to identify peer-reviewed original research and review articles that explore the role of the endocannabinoidome (eCBome) in IBD. : Emerging evidence suggests that eCBome-a network comprising lipid mediators, receptors (e.g., CB1, CB2, GPR55, GPR35, PPARα, TRPV1), and metabolic enzymes-plays a critical role in modulating immune responses, maintaining gut barrier integrity, and regulating systemic inflammation. Targeting eCBome not only improves intestinal inflammation but also appears to mitigate metabolic, neurological, and extraintestinal complications such as arthritis, liver dysfunction, and dermatological disorders. : Modulation of eCBome represents a promising strategy for comprehensive IBD management by addressing both local and systemic disease components. These findings advocate for further mechanistic studies to develop targeted interventions that leverage eCBome as a novel therapeutic avenue in IBD.
炎症性肠病(IBD)是一种慢性炎症性疾病,其特征为持续的胃肠道炎症以及一系列全身影响,包括影响关节、皮肤、肝脏和眼睛的肠外表现(EIMs)。传统疗法主要针对肠道炎症,但往往无法改善这些全身并发症。最近的研究突出了免疫系统、肠道和神经系统在IBD发病机制中的复杂相互作用,从而强调了创新治疗方法的必要性。
我们使用PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science、Science Direct和Google Scholar等数据库进行了全面的文献检索。使用“大麻素”“内源性大麻素系统”“内源性大麻素组”“炎症性肠病”和“肠外表现”等关键词来识别探讨内源性大麻素组(eCBome)在IBD中作用的同行评审原创研究和综述文章。
新出现的证据表明,eCBome(一个由脂质介质、受体(如CB1、CB2、GPR55、GPR35、PPARα、TRPV1)和代谢酶组成的网络)在调节免疫反应、维持肠道屏障完整性和调节全身炎症方面发挥着关键作用。靶向eCBome不仅可以改善肠道炎症,而且似乎还可以减轻代谢、神经和肠外并发症,如关节炎、肝功能障碍和皮肤病。
调节eCBome代表了一种通过解决局部和全身疾病成分来全面管理IBD的有前景的策略。这些发现主张进行进一步的机制研究,以开发靶向干预措施,将eCBome作为IBD的一种新的治疗途径。
