ABSTRACT
With the prevalence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) continuing to rise in Canada and globally, developing improved therapeutics that successfully treat greater percentages of patients with reduced complications is paramount. A better understanding of pertinent immune pathways in IBD will improve our ability to both successfully dampen inflammation and promote gut healing, beyond just inhibiting specific immune proteins; success of combination therapies supports this approach. Interferons (IFNs) are key cytokines that protect mucosal barrier surfaces, and their roles in regulating gut homeostasis and inflammation differ between the three IFN families (type I, II, and III). Interestingly, the gut microbiota and microbial metabolites impact IFN-signaling, yet how this system is impacted in IBD remains unclear. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge of how gut microbiota directly or indirectly impact IFN levels/responses, and what is known about IFNs differentially regulating gut homeostasis and inflammation in animal models or patients with IBD.
