Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a heterogeneous group of recurring inflammatory condi-tions of the digestive system that encompass both ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), pose a significant public health challenge, currently lacking a definitive cure. The specif-ic etiopathogenesis of IBD is not yet fully understood, but a multifactorial interplay of genetic and environmental factors is suspected. A growing body of evidence supports the involve-ment of intestinal dysbiosis in the development of IBD, including the effects of dysbiosis on the integrity of the intestinal epithelial barrier, modulation of the host immune system, alter-ations in the enteric nervous system, and the perpetuation of chronic inflammation. A com-prehensive understanding of these mechanisms is important to define preventive measures, to develop new effective and lasting treatments and to improve disease outcome. This review examines the complex tri-directional relationship between gut microbiota, mucosal immune system, and intestinal epithelium in IBD. In addition, nonpharmacological and behavioral strategies aimed at restoring a proper microbial-immune relationship will be suggested.
