Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative
colitis (UC), are chronic, relapsing inflammatory condition of the
gastrointestinal tract. CD and UC have distinct pathologic and clinical
characteristics and despite the extensive amount of research conducted over the
past decades, their pathogenesis remains still poorly understood. So far, the
accepted dogma is that IBD results from dysregulated mucosal immune response to
environmental factors in genetical susceptible hosts. Various components are
implicated in the pathogenesis of IBD, including genetic susceptibility,
environmental and microbial factors, intestinal epithelial cells and components
of innate and adaptive immune system. Given the complexity of IBD, several
different animal models of IBD have been developed during the last years. Animal
models are very important tools to study the involvement of various factors in
the pathogenesis of IBD and, importantly, to test new therapeutic options. This
review examines some of the key components that have been found to be closely
associated to IBD and describe the distinct features of some of the most
important IBD models.
