Background Hippo/YAP signaling pathway highly conserved,
complex signaling pathway brake on cell proliferation/organ size
tumor suppressor signaling important in regulation of liver
size
Background and Methods RISK study (CCFA) Large inception
pediatric IBD cohort N = 1656, over 28 sites Treatment nave;
Prospective Ileal host gene expression, microbial abundance and
deep phenotyping in 359 subjects (controls, ileocolonic, colon-only
and UC)
Slide 31
Results 1281 ileal host genes 1.5 X vs controls 1055 ileal host
genes; 82% similar to ileocolonic 232 ileal host genes; 18% similar
to ileocolonic
Slide 32
Results Host gene expression and microbial shifts in ileal IBD.
NL ileum UC colon only ileocolonic Crohns Crohns
Slide 33
Summary Ileal host gene expression is remarkably similar in
patients with ileocolonic Crohns disease and colon-only disease
Host gene and microbe profiles identify ileum as primary inductive
site for all forms of Crohns disease
Slide 34
Slide 35
Background and Methods RISK study, CCFA N = 447 Crohns &
221 controls (28 sites) Treatment nave Prospective
Mucosa-associated and lumenal microbiota 16S rRNA sequencing along
with deep phenotyping
Slide 36
Results Most prominent microbiome changes are in tissue
associated microbiota Antibiotic exposure amplifies dysbiosis
Slide 37
Results Of those bacteria increased in Crohns the more dramatic
the increase; the higher the PCDAI (and converse) Microbiota
Dysbiosis Index (MDI) predicts PCDAI Microbiota Dysbiosis Index
(MDI) predicts PCDAI PCDAI
Slide 38
Results Biopsy-associated ilieal microbiome is most accurate
for disease classification Predictive modeling for relapse using
microbiome and clinical variables better than clinical variables
alone 1 - Specificity Sensitivity
Slide 39
Summary Microbiome at diagnosis strongly correlates with Crohns
disease status Antibiotics aggravate dysbiosis Mucosa-associated
microbiome may be better than lumenal in assessing disease
parameters
