Intestinal Immunity in Neurologic Disease : Intestinal Immunity in Neurologic Disease

Immune cells and microbes within the GI tract likely play an important role for neurologic disease pathogenesis, including MS and Parkinson's disease. Nevertheless, these immune cells have never been studied in detail using modern single cell technologies. Moreover, most of the human microbiome work done in this space to date has utilized fecal samples, but different anatomic niches within the gut may have greater importance for disease. This study will provide seminal information about how the relationships between gut immunity and neurologic/autoimmune diseases and may be paradigm shifting in regards to how the pathogenesis of some neurologic diseases is viewed.This is an observational cohort study. Individuals undergoing colonoscopy (+/- upper endoscopy) as a part of standard of care or who consent to have a colonoscopy (+/- upper endoscopy) will be recruited to provide tissue biopsies obtained from the gastrointestinal mucosa. The rationale for including those who are not yet due to have a screening colonoscopy is that for many neurologic diseases (like MS), the disease onset is in adolescence or early adulthood, and the disease is diagnosed in young adults. These individuals would not yet be due to have screening colonoscopies, and yet changes in immune cells within the intestines may be a critical part of disease pathogenesis. This is what the investigators are exploring with this study.The investigators will need to recruit age matched healthy controls because many features of the immune system change with age; as people get older, the immune system becomes less inflammatory ("immune senescence") and thus it is essential to have age-matched tissues for comparison..
