The precise mechanisms remain elusive, hindering targeted therapies. Therefore, this study aims to integrate single-cell transcriptomics with in vivo experiments to reveal the key signaling axes driving pathogenic neutrophil activation in UC.Methods: Single-cell transcriptomics characterized UC inflammatory microenvironments, focusing on neutrophil functional states and intercellular interactions. Based on key findings from bioinformatics analysis, we hypothesize that the eNAMPT-integrin α 5β 1 signaling axis drives abnormal neutrophil-endothelial cell communication and functionally validate this hypothesis in in vivo models.Results: Neutrophils exhibited aberrant activation and significant NAMPT overexpression in UC. Extracellular eNAMPT functioned as a signaling molecule binding endothelial integrin α 5β 1, mediating pathological neutrophil-endothelial crosstalk. Pharmacological blockade of the eNAMPT/integrin α 5β 1 axis inhibited neutrophil mucosal infiltration, reducing inflammation and tissue damage in UC mouse models.Conclusion: The eNAMPT-integrin α 5β 1-mediated neutrophil-endothelial communication axis represents a novel pathogenic pathway in UC, providing a foundation for precision therapies targeting this mechanism.Keywords: ulcerative colitis, neutrophils, endothelial cells, NAMPT, bioinformatics
