Abstract

Dysregulated host-microbial interactions play critical roles in initiation and perpetuation of gut inflammation in Crohn's disease (CD). However, the spatial distribution and interaction network across the intestine and its accessory tissues are still elusive. Here, we profile the host proteins and tissue microbes in 540 samples from the intestinal mucosa, submucosa-muscularis-serosa, mesenteric adipose tissues, mesentery, and mesenteric lymph nodes of 30 CD patients and spatially decipher the host-microbial interactions. We observe aberrant antimicrobial immunity and metabolic processes across multi-tissues during CD and determine bacterial transmission along with altered microbial communities and ecological patterns. Moreover, we identify several candidate interaction pairs between host proteins and microbes associated with perpetuation of gut inflammation and bacterial transmigration across multi-tissues in CD. Signature alterations in host proteins (e.g., SAA2 and GOLM1) and microbes (e.g., Alistipes and Streptococcus) are further imprinted in serum and fecal samples as potential diagnostic biomarkers, thus providing a rationale for precision diagnosis.
