Show abstract
Crohns disease (CD) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract driven by an aberrant immune response. To understand the immune mechanisms underlying mucosal inflammation, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on paired terminal ileum biopsies and blood samples from 125 CD patients. Our findings reveal that the transcriptional profiles of immune cells are primarily shaped by the local tissue microenvironment, with mucosal immune cells undergoing profound inflammation-associated changes, while circulating immune cells largely fail to reflect these signatures. However, a subset of circulating T cells with a tissue-resident memory-like phenotype retained transcriptional hallmarks of mucosal inflammation, mirroring their ileal counterparts with enrichment in cytokine pathways, including interferon gamma and TNF receptor signaling. Altogether, our single-cell atlas provides a high-resolution resource for dissecting the mucosal and circulatory immune landscape of CD and its link to mucosal inflammation.
