Abstract
Environmental airborne antigens are central to the development of allergic asthma, but the cellular processes that trigger disease remain incompletely understood. In this report, Schmitt et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20231236) identify TNF-like protein 1A (TL1A) as an epithelial alarmin constitutively expressed by a subset of lung epithelial cells, which is released in response to airborne microbial challenge and synergizes with IL-33 to drive allergic disease.

Abstract
Sulfasalazine is a prodrug known to be effective for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-associated peripheral spondyloarthritis (pSpA), but the mechanistic role for the gut microbiome in regulating its clinical efficacy is not well understood. Here, treatment of 22 IBD-pSpA subjects with sulfasalazine identifies clinical responders with a gut microbiome enriched in Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and the capacity for butyrate production. Sulfapyridine promotes butyrate production and transcription of the butyrate synthesis gene but in F. prausnitzii in vitro, which is suppressed by excess folate. Sulfasalazine therapy enhances fecal butyrate production and limits colitis in wild-type and gnotobiotic mice colonized with responder, but not non-responder, microbiomes. F. prausnitzii is sufficient to restore sulfasalazine protection from colitis in gnotobiotic mice colonized with non-responder microbiomes. These findings reveal a mechanistic link between the efficacy of sulfasalazine therapy and the gut microbiome with the potential to guide diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for IBD-pSpA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Ritlecitinib, an oral JAK3/TEC family kinase inhibitor, was well- tolerated and efficacious in the phase 2b VIBRATO study in participants with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC). The aim of this study was to identify baseline serum and microbiome markers that predict subsequent clinical efficacy and to develop noninvasive serum signatures as potential real-time noninvasive surrogates of clinical efficacy after ritlecitinib. METHODS Tissue and peripheral blood proteomics, transcriptomics, and fecal metagenomics were performed on samples before and after 8-week oral ritlecitinib induction therapy (20 mg, 70 mg, 200 mg, or placebo once daily, N=39, 41, 33, and 18, respectively). Linear mixed models were used to identify baseline and longitudinal protein markers associated with efficacy. The combined predictivity of these proteins was evaluated using a logistic model with permuted efficacy data. Differential expression of fecal metagenomic was used to differentiate responders and nonresponders. RESULTS Peripheral blood serum proteomics identified 4 baseline serum markers (LTA, CCL21, HLA-E, MEGF10) predictive of modified clinical remission (MR), endoscopic improvement (EI), histologic remission (HR), and integrative score of tissue molecular improvement. In responders, 37 serum proteins significantly changed at Week 8 compared with baseline (FDR<0.05); of these, changes in 4 (IL4R, TNFRSF4, SPINK4, and LAIR-1) predicted concurrent EI and HR responses. Fecal metagenomics analysis revealed baseline and treatment response signatures that correlated with EI, MR, and tissue molecular improvement. CONCLUSIONS Blood and microbiome biomarkers stratify endoscopic, histologic, and tissue molecular response to ritlecitinib, which may help guide future precision medicine approaches to UC treatment.

Abstract
Environmental factors are the major contributor to the onset of immunological disorders such as ulcerative colitis. However, their identities remain unclear. Here, we discover that the amount of consumed L-Tryptophan (L-Trp), a ubiquitous dietary component, determines the transcription level of the colonic T cell homing receptor, GPR15, hence affecting the number of colonic FOXP3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells and local immune homeostasis. Ingested L-Trp is converted by host IDO1/2 enzymes, but not by gut microbiota, to compounds that induce GPR15 transcription preferentially in Treg cells via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor. Consequently, two weeks of dietary L-Trp supplementation nearly double the colonic GPR15+ Treg cells via GPR15-mediated homing and substantially reduce the future risk of colitis. In addition, humans consume 3-4 times less L-Trp per kilogram of body weight and have fewer colonic GPR15+ Treg cells than mice. Thus, we uncover a microbiota-independent mechanism linking dietary L-Trp and colonic Treg cells, that may have therapeutic potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most Crohn's disease [CD] patients require surgery. Ileitis recurs after most ileocolectomies and is a critical determinant for outcomes. The impacts of ileocolectomy-induced bile acid [BA] perturbations on intestinal microbiota and inflammation are unknown. We characterized the relationships between ileocolectomy, stool BAs, microbiota and intestinal inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. METHODS Validated IBD clinical and endoscopic assessments were prospectively collected. Stool primary and secondary BA concentrations were compared based on ileocolectomy and ileitis status. Primary BA thresholds for ileitis were evaluated. Metagenomic sequencing was use to profile microbial composition and function. Relationships between ileocolectomy, BAs and microbiota were assessed. RESULTS In 166 patients, elevated primary and secondary BAs existed with ileocolectomy. With ileitis, only primary BAs [795 vs 398 nmol/g, p = 0.009] were higher compared to without ileitis. The optimal primary BA threshold [≥228 nmol/g] identified ileitis on multivariable analysis [odds ratio = 2.3, p = 0.04]. Microbial diversity, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and O-acetylhomoserine aminocarboxypropyltransferase [MetY] were decreased with elevated primary BAs. Amongst ileocolectomy patients, only those with elevated primary BAs had diversity, F. prausnitzii and MetY reductions. Those with both ileocolectomy and intermediate [p = 0.002] or high [≥228 nmol/g, p = 9.1e-11]] primary BA concentrations had reduced F. prausnitzii compared to without ileocolectomy. Those with ileocolectomy and low [<29.2 nmol/g] primary BA concentrations had similar F. prausnitzii to those without ileocolectomy [p = 0.13]. MetY was reduced with ileitis [p = 0.02]. CONCLUSIONS Elevated primary BAs were associated with ileitis, and reduced microbial diversity, F. prausnitzii abundance and enzymatic abundance of MetY [acetate and l-methionine-producing enzyme expressed by F. prausnitzii], and were the only factors associated with these findings after ileocolectomy.

Abstract
Chronic exposure to high-fat diets (HFD) worsens intestinal disease pathology, but acute effects of HFD in tissue damage remain unclear. Here, we used short-term HFD feeding in a model of intestinal injury and found sustained damage with increased cecal dead neutrophil accumulation, along with dietary lipid accumulation. Neutrophil depletion rescued enhanced pathology. Macrophages from HFD-treated mice showed reduced capacity to engulf dead neutrophils. Macrophage clearance of dead neutrophils activates critical barrier repair and antiinflammatory pathways, including IL-10, which was lost after acute HFD feeding and intestinal injury. IL-10 overexpression restored intestinal repair after HFD feeding and intestinal injury. Macrophage exposure to lipids from the HFD prevented tethering and uptake of apoptotic cells and Il10 induction. Milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 (MFGE8) is a bridging molecule that facilitates macrophage uptake of dead cells. MFGE8 also facilitates lipid uptake, and we demonstrate that dietary lipids interfere with MFGE8-mediated macrophage apoptotic neutrophil uptake and subsequent Il10 production. Our findings demonstrate that HFD promotes intestinal pathology by interfering with macrophage clearance of dead neutrophils, leading to unresolved tissue damage.

Abstract
Background Bacterial constituents of the intestinal microbiota can contribute to local and systemic inflammatory diseases. Crohn's disease (CD), a type of inflammatory bowel disease, can result in extraintestinal manifestations (EIM) including peripheral (CD-SpA) and axial spondyloarthritis (CD-AxSpA). Microbial contributors to CD pathogenesis can be identified by flow cytometric sorting and 16S sequencing of bacteria recognized by mucosal IgA. We expand this technique by incubating fecal samples with autologous sera, capturing bacterial species recognized by circulating IgG in a process called IgG-seq. We hypothesize that these systemically-recognized enteric bacteria are linked to development of CD-EIM. Methods Fecal samples from individuals with CD were sorted into IgG-positive and negative populations. DNA was extracted from each population, 16S sequencing performed, and sequences processed with QIIME2. Intestinal coating index (ICI) was calculated at the genus level. Serum cell-free DNA sequencing (cfDNA) was performed for a subset of samples. Results IgG-seq was conducted on 86 CD, 41 CD-SpA, and 16 CD-AxSpA samples. PCoA analysis demonstrates significant differences in microbiome composition in the three groups (P = 0.013, PERMANOVA). Relative abundances of Escherichia-Shigella and Ruminococcus are positively correlated with joint disease activity. Analysis of IgG ICI for genera present in > 10% of patients demonstrates overrepresentation of Ruminococcus, Escherichia-Shigella, and Bacteroides in IgG-recognized fractions. IgG recognition of bacteria does not cluster specifically by CD or EIM severity. cfDNA sequencing demonstrates no Ruminococcus DNA in serum, whereas E. coli DNA was detected in multiple patient sera. Conclusion IgG-seq is a robust method for identifying immune-reactive enteric bacteria; our results highlight the link between immune response to enteric bacterial genera, such as Escherichia-Shigella and Ruminococcus, and joint disease activity in CD-SpA and CD-AxSpA. While Escherichia-Shigella may induce immunity by breaching the mucosal barrier, the absence of Ruminococcus in serum cfDNA suggests immune activation at barrier sites. Further studies are needed to characterize the strain-specific features that underlie our findings.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is associated with Crohn's disease (CD), but its impact on host-microbe interaction in disease pathogenesis is not well defined. Functional deficiency in the protein disulfide isomerase anterior gradient 2 (AGR2) has been linked with CD and leads to epithelial cell ER stress and ileocolitis in mice and humans. Here, we show that ileal expression of AGR2 correlates with mucosal Enterobactericeae abundance in human inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and that Agr2 deletion leads to ER-stress-dependent expansion of mucosal-associated adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC), which drives Th17 cell ileocolitis in mice. Mechanistically, our data reveal that AIEC-induced epithelial cell ER stress triggers CD103+ dendritic cell production of interleukin-23 (IL-23) and that IL-23R is required for ileocolitis in Agr2-/- mice. Overall, these data reveal a specific and reciprocal interaction of the expansion of the CD pathobiont AIEC with ER-stress-associated ileocolitis and highlight a distinct cellular mechanism for IL-23-dependent ileocolitis.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic life-long inflammatory disease affecting almost 2 million Americans. Although new biologic therapies have been developed, the standard medical treatment fails to selectively control the dysregulated immune pathways involved in chronic colonic inflammation. Further, IBD patients with uncontrolled colonic inflammation are at a higher risk for developing colorectal cancer (CRC). Intestinal microbes can impact many immune functions, and here we asked if they could be used to improve intestinal inflammation. By utilizing an intestinal adherent E. coli that we find increases IL-10 producing macrophages, we were able to limit intestinal inflammation and restrict tumor formation. Macrophage IL-10 along with IL-10 signaling to the intestinal epithelium were required for protection in both inflammation and tumor development. Our work highlights that administration of immune modulating microbes can improve intestinal outcomes by altering tissue inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are prone to several nutritional deficiencies. However, data are lacking on vitamin C deficiency in Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, as well as the impact of clinical, biomarker and endoscopic disease severity on the development of vitamin C deficiency.
AIM To determine proportions and factors associated with vitamin C deficiency in CD and UC patients.
METHODS In this retrospective study, we obtained clinical, laboratory and endoscopic data from CD and UC patients presenting to the IBD clinic at a single tertiary care center from 2014 to 2019. All patients had an available plasma vitamin C level. Of 353 subjects who met initial search criteria using a cohort discovery tool, 301 ultimately met criteria for inclusion in the study. The primary aim described vitamin C deficiency (≤ 11.4 μmol/L) rates in IBD. Secondary analyses compared proportions with deficiency between active and inactive IBD. Multivariate logistic regression analysis evaluated factors associated with deficiency.
RESULTS Of 301 IBD patients, 21.6% had deficiency, including 24.4% of CD patients and 16.0% of UC patients. Patients with elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) (39.1% vs 16.9%, P < 0.001) and fecal calprotectin (50.0% vs 20.0%, P = 0.009) had significantly higher proportions of deficiency compared to those without. Penetrating disease (P = 0.03), obesity (P = 0.02) and current biologic use (P = 0.006) were also associated with deficiency on univariate analysis. On multivariate analysis, the objective inflammatory marker utilized for analysis (elevated CRP) was the only factor associated with deficiency (odds ratio = 3.1, 95% confidence interval: 1.5-6.6, P = 0.003). There was no difference in the presence of clinical symptoms of scurvy in those with vitamin C deficiency and those without.
CONCLUSION Vitamin C deficiency was common in IBD. Patients with elevated inflammatory markers and penetrating disease had higher rates of vitamin C deficiency.

Abstract
Microbial exposures are crucial environmental factors that impact healthspan by sculpting the immune system and microbiota. Antibody profiling via Phage ImmunoPrecipitation Sequencing (PhIP-Seq) provides a high-throughput, cost-effective approach for detecting exposure and response to microbial protein products. We designed and constructed a library of 95,601 56-amino acid peptide tiles spanning 14,430 proteins with "toxin" or "virulence factor" keyword annotations. We used PhIP-Seq to profile the antibodies of ∼1,000 individuals against this "ToxScan" library. In addition to enumerating immunodominant antibody epitopes, we studied the age-dependent stability of the ToxScan profile and used a genome-wide association study to find that the MHC-II locus modulates bacterial epitope selection. We detected previously described anti-flagellin antibody responses in a Crohn's disease cohort and identified an association between anti-flagellin antibodies and juvenile dermatomyositis. PhIP-Seq with the ToxScan library is thus an effective tool for studying the environmental determinants of health and disease at cohort scale.

Abstract
Immunization against the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 reduces transmission1,2 and severe outcomes. However, little is known regarding the impact of immune-mediated diseases and immunosuppressive medications on the efficacy of vaccination. Vaccination immunity is transient, with breakthrough cases increasing at longer time intervals since the last dose.3,4 Although there are data on SARS-CoV-2 vaccine on early seroconversion in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD),5 no data in the same cohort exist describing the durability of these antibodies over time. We sought to investigate the impact of IBD and its therapies on postvaccination antibody response and kinetics of immunogenicity decline, because these findings may better inform clinical guidelines and recommendations on precautions and booster vaccination.

Abstract
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with poorly controlled intestinal inflammation are at an elevated risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). IBD patients exhibit intestinal dysbiosis with expanded proteobacteria such as E. coli. Here, we find that colonization with an E. coli isolated from the intestine of an IBD patient (E. coli 541-15) prevents tumorigenesis in an inflammation-related model of CRC. Colonization increased tumor infiltration of T helper 1 (Th1) cells, cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), and type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) and decreased myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs). Prevention of tumorigenesis occurs if colonization takes place before induction of inflammation. Intestinal inflammation in colitis models was ameliorated by E. coli 541-15 and this protection depended on IL-10 production by macrophages and IL-10 signaling to the intestinal epithelium. Colonization with E. coli 541-15 also promotes these IL-10 pathways if colonization occurs after tumorigenesis is established. However, this leads to worse CRC outcome, with increased tumor burden alongside decreased tumor infiltration of Th1 cells, CTLs, and ILC1s and increased MDSCs and Tregs. These results identify activation of an IL-10 signaling loop between immune cells and the intestinal epithelium after E. coli colonization that modulates intestinal inflammation and CRC. Importantly, these pathways can be protective or pathogenic depending on timing of activation.

Abstract
Abstract
Joint inflammation (spondyloarthritis, SpA), is the most common extra-intestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but the specific role for therapies targeting SpA is not well defined. Sulfasalazine (SAS) is a prodrug composed of two chemical moieties, 5-aminosalicylate and the anti-folate antibiotic sulfapyridine, with efficacy in peripheral arthritis. Our study aims to evaluate the role for the gut microbiome in clinical response of SpA to SAS and to define microbial mechanisms targeted by SAS.
We longitudinally follow IBD patients with SpA who have a medical indication for SAS therapy. Clinical data and fecal samples from 22 patients were collected before initiation of SAS and at week 12 after initiation of SAS. The fecal microbiome of SAS-responders was distinct from that observed in non-responders and 6 pre-treatment microbial markers (including the short chain fatty acid (SCFA) producer Faecalibacterium prausnitzii) predicted SAS-response (AUC=0.9). Fecal metabolome of SAS responders had lower thymine and higher deoxyuridine compared to non-responders consistent with evidence of a folate trap in response to SAS treatment. SAS therapy in SPF mouse-model of chemically-induced colitis alleviated colitis in GPR 109a- and 43-dependent fashion consistent with a synergistic role for SCFA. In vitro and in vivo models revealed SAS direct regulation of F. prausnitzii transcription and metabolic function and its impact on host immune response.
Collectively, these findings highlight the potential role for microbial diagnostics to improve SAS efficacy, and drug modulation of microbial markers to potentiate therapy for IBD patients with SpA.

Abstract
Abstract
While exposure to microbial antigens in peripheral sites causes expansion of antigen-specific T cells, a role for antigen-specific expansion had not been identified during T cell development in the thymus. We recently found that intestinal colonization induced intestinal dendritic cells migration to the thymus, driving thymic expansion of microbiota-specific T cells early in life. In contrast, colonization in adulthood leads to expansion of peripheral but not thymic microbiota-specific T cells. Thymic microbiota-specific T cells developed early in life were undifferentiated and caused intestinal inflammation in immunocompromised hosts upon antigen reencounter. We sought to understand regulation of this developmental window and define if thymic expansion of microbiota-specific T cells could be restarted in adult mice. We found that microbiota manipulation reestablished expansion of microbiota-specific T cells in the thymus of adult mice. We are in the process of characterizing these T cells in adulthood to assess their impact on intestinal inflammation. Our data suggests that intestinal colonization controls the generation of thymic microbiota-specific T cells which has the potential to modulate inflammatory processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delays in biologic or small molecule medication administration are associated with increased adverse events, hospitalization, and surgery in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We evaluated the impact of a quality improvement (QI) intervention on the time to administration of biologics or small molecules (TABS) in IBD. METHODS Data were retrospectively extracted for IBD patients prescribed biologics or small molecules from a convenience sample of providers participating in an accredited QI educational intervention (baseline cohort). Subsequent to the intervention, data were prospectively collected from patients prescribed these medications (postintervention cohort). Dates related to steps between a treatment decision to medication administration were collected. The primary outcome compared TABS in baseline and postintervention cohorts. RESULTS Eighteen physicians provided survey and patient data for 200 patients in each cohort (n=400). The median time to medication administration (TABS) decreased from baseline to postintervention cohorts (30 vs. 26 d, P=0.04). Emergency room visits before medication administration also decreased (25.5% vs. 12.5%, P=0.001). Similar numerical TABS reductions were observed in subgroups limited to physicians providing patients to both cohorts and for individual medications prescribed. Primary contributors to delays included filling prescriptions subsequent to insurance approval and dispensation subsequent to this. CONCLUSIONS A QI intervention successfully reduced medication administration times (TABS) by accelerating provider-dependent steps. This intervention was associated with reduced emergency room visits. We propose TABS as a quality metric to assess the effective delivery of therapies in IBD. Further evaluation of QI interventions, patient education on prescription drug insurance, and quality metrics are warranted.

Abstract
The microbiota modulates gut immune homeostasis. Bacteria influence the development and function of host immune cells, including T helper cells expressing interleukin-17A (TH17 cells). We previously reported that the bile acid metabolite 3-oxolithocholic acid (3-oxoLCA) inhibits TH17 cell differentiation1. Although it was suggested that gut-residing bacteria produce 3-oxoLCA, the identity of such bacteria was unknown, and it was unclear whether 3-oxoLCA and other immunomodulatory bile acids are associated with inflammatory pathologies in humans. Here we identify human gut bacteria and corresponding enzymes that convert the secondary bile acid lithocholic acid into 3-oxoLCA as well as the abundant gut metabolite isolithocholic acid (isoLCA). Similar to 3-oxoLCA, isoLCA suppressed TH17 cell differentiation by inhibiting retinoic acid receptor-related orphan nuclear receptor-γt, a key TH17-cell-promoting transcription factor. The levels of both 3-oxoLCA and isoLCA and the 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase genes that are required for their biosynthesis were significantly reduced in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Moreover, the levels of these bile acids were inversely correlated with the expression of TH17-cell-associated genes. Overall, our data suggest that bacterially produced bile acids inhibit TH17 cell function, an activity that may be relevant to the pathophysiology of inflammatory disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
Hundreds of microbiota genes are associated with host biology/disease. Unraveling the causal contribution of a microbiota gene to host biology remains difficult because many are encoded by nonmodel gut commensals and not genetically targetable. A general approach to identify their gene transfer methodology and build their gene manipulation tools would enable mechanistic dissections of their impact on host physiology. We developed a pipeline that identifies the gene transfer methods for multiple nonmodel microbes spanning five phyla, and we demonstrated the utility of their genetic tools by modulating microbiome-derived short-chain fatty acids and bile acids in vitro and in the host. In a proof-of-principle study, by deleting a commensal gene for bile acid synthesis in a complex microbiome, we discovered an intriguing role of this gene in regulating colon inflammation. This technology will enable genetically engineering the nonmodel gut microbiome and facilitate mechanistic dissection of microbiota-host interactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an emerging treatment modality for ulcerative colitis (UC). Several randomized controlled trials have shown efficacy for FMT in the treatment of UC, but a better understanding of the transferable microbiota and their immune impact is needed to develop more efficient microbiome-based therapies for UC. METHODS Metagenomic analysis and strain tracking was performed on 60 donor and recipient samples receiving FMT for active UC. Sorting and sequencing of immunoglobulin (Ig) A-coated microbiota (called IgA-seq) was used to define immune-reactive microbiota. Colonization of germ-free or genetically engineered mice with patient-derived strains was performed to determine the mechanism of microbial impact on intestinal immunity. RESULTS Metagenomic analysis defined a core set of donor-derived transferable bacterial strains in UC subjects achieving clinical response, which predicted response in an independent trial of FMT for UC. IgA-seq of FMT recipient samples and gnotobiotic mice colonized with donor microbiota identified Odoribacter splanchnicus as a transferable strain shaping mucosal immunity, which correlated with clinical response and the induction of mucosal regulatory T cells. Colonization of mice with O splanchnicus led to an increase in Foxp3+/RORγt+ regulatory T cells, induction of interleukin (IL) 10, and production of short chain fatty acids, all of which were required for O splanchnicus to limit colitis in mouse models. CONCLUSIONS This work provides the first evidence of transferable, donor-derived strains that correlate with clinical response to FMT in UC and reveals O splanchnicus as a key component promoting both metabolic and immune cell protection from colitis. These mechanistic features will help enable strategies to enhance the efficacy of microbial therapy for UC. Clinicaltrials.gov ID NCT02516384.

Abstract
Humans and their microbiota have coevolved a mutually beneficial relationship in which the human host provides a hospitable environment for the microorganisms and the microbiota provides many advantages for the host, including nutritional benefits and protection from pathogen infection1. Maintaining this relationship requires a careful immune balance to contain commensal microorganisms within the lumen while limiting inflammatory anti-commensal responses1,2. Antigen-specific recognition of intestinal microorganisms by T cells has previously been described3,4. Although the local environment shapes the differentiation of effector cells3-5 it is unclear how microbiota-specific T cells are educated in the thymus. Here we show that intestinal colonization in early life leads to the trafficking of microbial antigens from the intestine to the thymus by intestinal dendritic cells, which then induce the expansion of microbiota-specific T cells. Once in the periphery, microbiota-specific T cells have pathogenic potential or can protect against related pathogens. In this way, the developing microbiota shapes and expands the thymic and peripheral T cell repertoire, allowing for enhanced recognition of intestinal microorganisms and pathogens.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestine associated with genetic susceptibility and alterations in the intestinal microbiome. Multiomics data developed and analyzed over the last several decades have yielded an unprecedented amount of genetic and microbial data. But how do we pinpoint mechanistic insight into the host-microbe relationship that will ultimately enable better care for patients with IBD? In this issue of the JCI, Grasberger et al. undertook a major decoding effort to decipher this multiomic data matrix. The authors analyzed anonymized data from more than 2800 individuals to discover a link between heterozygous carriers of deleterious DUOX2 variants and high levels of plasma IL-17C. These findings provide an example of how harnessing big data can drive mechanistic discovery to define disease biomarkers that have the potential to improve clinical care in IBD.

Abstract
Adherent-invasive E. coli (AIEC) are enriched in the intestinal microbiota of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and promote intestinal inflammation. Yet, how AIEC metabolism of nutrients impacts intestinal homeostasis is poorly defined. Here, we show that AIEC encoding the large subunit of propanediol dehydratase (PduC), which facilitates the utilization of fucose fermentation product 1,2-propanediol, are increased in the microbiome of CD patients and drive AIEC-induced intestinal T cell inflammation. In murine models, CX3CR1+ mononuclear phagocytes (MNP) are required for PduC-dependent induction of T helper 17 (Th17) cells and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) production that leads to AIEC-induced inflammatory colitis. Activation of this inflammatory cascade requires the catalytic activity of PduC to generate propionate, which synergizes with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce IL-1β by MNPs. Disrupting fucose availability limits AIEC-induced propionate production and intestinal inflammation. These findings identify MNPs as metabolic sensors linking AIEC metabolism with intestinal inflammation and identify microbial metabolism as a potential therapeutic target in Crohn's disease treatment.

Abstract
Background Nonadherence to biologic therapy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with risk of relapse, immunogenicity, and disease complications. Significant nonadherence prevalence is reported with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists but the risk of nonadherence with newer biologics with better safety profiles is unknown. This study aimed to investigate if IBD patient-preferences favoring biologic discontinuation vary by biologic class and analyze factors associated with such preferences. Methods A convenience sample of 200 adults with IBD on biologic therapy treated at an academic outpatient center was surveyed using a 22-point questionnaire. Patient-preference favoring treatment discontinuation between TNF-antagonist and non-TNF-antagonist biologics [vedolizumab (VDZ)/ustekinumab (UST)] was compared using χ 2 test. Risk factors associated with a preference to discontinue biologic therapy were evaluated using univariable and multivariable logistic regression, and Spearman rank correlation analyses. Results A total of 190 questionnaires were analyzed that contained data on preferences regarding biologic discontinuation (median age 36 years, 62% were females; 63% had Crohn disease; 56% were receiving a TNF antagonist, 31% VDZ, and 14% UST). Overall, 32% patients reported a preference to discontinue biologic treatment with a higher proportion among those receiving a TNF antagonist compared with VDZ/UST (39.6% vs 21.4%; P < 0.01). Current VDZ/UST use was independently associated with a reduced odds of patient-preference favoring biologic discontinuation [adjusted odds ratio: 2.67 (1.42-5.01); P < 0.01]. The most concerning factor to patients was the perceived risk of side effects. Patients on VDZ/UST perceived their therapy to be safer than those receiving a TNF antagonist (r = 0.2, P = 0.04). Conclusions Patient-preference favoring treatment discontinuation is improved with VDZ/UST compared with TNF-antagonist biologic therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Bile acids are abundantly present in the mammalian gut, where they undergo bacteria-mediated transformation, generating a large pool of bioactive molecules. While they have been shown to affect host metabolism, cancer progression and innate immunity, it is unknown whether bile acids affect the function of adaptive immune cells such as T cells expressing IL-17a (Th17 cells) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) that mediate inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses, respectively. By screening a small-molecule library primarily composed of bile acid metabolites, we identified two distinct derivatives of lithocholic acid (LCA), 3-oxoLCA and isoalloLCA, as specific regulators of Th17 and Treg cells. While 3-oxoLCA inhibited Th17 cell differentiation by directly binding to its key transcription factor RORγt (retinoid-related orphan receptor γt), isoalloLCA enhanced Treg differentiation through the production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mitoROS), leading to increased FoxP3 expression. IsoalloLCA-mediated Treg enhancement required an intronic FoxP3 enhancer the conserved noncoding sequence 3 (CNS3), suggesting a distinct mode of action from other previously identified Treg enhancing metabolites that require CNS1. Lastly, oral administration of 3-oxoLCA and isoalloLCA to mice led to reduced Th17 and increased Treg cell differentiation in the intestinal lamina propria. Altogether, our data suggest novel mechanisms by which bile acid metabolites control host immune responses by directly modulating the Th17 and Treg balance.

Abstract
Despite continuous exposure to trillions of microbes, the intestinal immune system protects the mucosa by balancing barrier protection, tolerance, and immunity. As both sentinel and effector, the mucosal innate immune system plays a central role in coordinating these responses. By integrating signals from the intestinal microbiota, mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs) serve as a critical link in regulating effector functions of group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s). Our recent work identified the role for MNP production of the IBD-linked protein TNF-like ligand 1A (TL1A) in modulating microbial regulation of ILC3 barrier immunity. These findings highlight a broader role for ILC3s in local control of T cell immunity and their potential role in the pathogenesis and treatment of inflammatory disease.

Abstract
Over the last ten years, immunologists have recognized the central importance of an emerging group of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in health and disease. Characterization of these cells has provided a molecular definition of ILCs and their tissue-specific functions. Although the lineage-defining transcription factors, cytokine production, and nomenclature parallel those of T helper cells, ILCs do not require adaptive immune programming. Both environmental and host-derived signals shape the function of these evolutionarily ancient cells, which provide pathogen protection and promote tissue restoration. As such, ILCs function as a double-edged sword, balancing the inflammatory and reparative responses that arise during injury and disease. This Review highlights our recent understanding of tissue-resident ILCs and the signals that regulate their contribution to inflammation and tissue repair in health and disease.

Abstract
Bacteriophages are the most abundant members of the microbiota and have the potential to shape gut bacterial communities. Changes to bacteriophage composition are associated with disease, but how phages impact mammalian health remains unclear. We noted an induction of host immunity when experimentally treating bacterially driven cancer, leading us to test whether bacteriophages alter immune responses. Treating germ-free mice with bacteriophages leads to immune cell expansion in the gut. Lactobacillus, Escherichia, and Bacteroides bacteriophages and phage DNA stimulated IFN-γ via the nucleotide-sensing receptor TLR9. The resultant immune responses were both phage and bacteria specific. Additionally, increasing bacteriophage levels exacerbated colitis via TLR9 and IFN-γ. Similarly, ulcerative colitis (UC) patients responsive to fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) have reduced phages compared to non-responders, and mucosal IFN-γ positively correlates with bacteriophage levels. Bacteriophages from active UC patients induced more IFN-γ compared to healthy individuals. Collectively, these results indicate that bacteriophages can alter mucosal immunity to impact mammalian health.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) results from a dysregulated interaction between the microbiota and a genetically susceptible host. Genetic studies have linked TNFSF15 polymorphisms and its protein TNF-like ligand 1A (TL1A) with IBD, but the functional role of TL1A is not known. Here, we found that adherent IBD-associated microbiota induced TL1A release from CX3CR1+ mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs). Using cell-specific genetic deletion models, we identified an essential role for CX3CR1+MNP-derived TL1A in driving group 3 innate lymphoid cell (ILC3) production of interleukin-22 and mucosal healing during acute colitis. In contrast to this protective role in acute colitis, TL1A-dependent expression of co-stimulatory molecule OX40L in MHCII+ ILC3s during colitis led to co-stimulation of antigen-specific T cells that was required for chronic T cell colitis. These results identify a role for ILC3s in activating intestinal T cells and reveal a central role for TL1A in promoting ILC3 barrier immunity during colitis.

Abstract
The intestinal barrier is vulnerable to damage by microbiota-induced inflammation that is normally restrained through mechanisms promoting homeostasis. Such disruptions contribute to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases including inflammatory bowel disease. We identified a regulatory loop whereby, in the presence of the normal microbiota, intestinal antigen-presenting cells (APCs) expressing the chemokine receptor CX3CR1 reduced expansion of intestinal microbe-specific T helper 1 (Th1) cells and promoted generation of regulatory T cells responsive to food antigens and the microbiota itself. We identified that disruption of the microbiota resulted in CX3CR1+ APC-dependent inflammatory Th1 cell responses with increased pathology after pathogen infection. Colonization with microbes that can adhere to the epithelium was able to compensate for intestinal microbiota loss, indicating that although microbial interactions with the epithelium can be pathogenic, they can also activate homeostatic regulatory mechanisms. Our results identify a cellular mechanism by which the microbiota limits intestinal inflammation and promotes tissue homeostasis.

Abstract
Peripheral spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a common extraintestinal manifestation in patients with active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by inflammatory enthesitis, dactylitis, or synovitis of nonaxial joints. However, a mechanistic understanding of the link between intestinal inflammation and SpA has yet to emerge. We evaluated and functionally characterized the fecal microbiome of IBD patients with or without peripheral SpA. Coupling the sorting of immunoglobulin A (IgA)-coated microbiota with 16S ribosomal RNA-based analysis (IgA-seq) revealed a selective enrichment in IgA-coated Escherichia coli in patients with Crohn's disease-associated SpA (CD-SpA) compared to CD alone. E. coli isolates from CD-SpA-derived IgA-coated bacteria were similar in genotype and phenotype to an adherent-invasive E. coli (AIEC) pathotype. In comparison to non-AIEC E. coli, colonization of germ-free mice with CD-SpA E. coli isolates induced T helper 17 cell (TH17) mucosal immunity, which required the virulence-associated metabolic enzyme propanediol dehydratase (pduC). Modeling the increase in mucosal and systemic TH17 immunity we observed in CD-SpA patients, colonization of interleukin-10-deficient or K/BxN mice with CD-SpA-derived E. coli lead to more severe colitis or inflammatory arthritis, respectively. Collectively, these data reveal the power of IgA-seq to identify immunoreactive resident pathosymbionts that link mucosal and systemic TH17-dependent inflammation and offer microbial and immunophenotype stratification of CD-SpA that may guide medical and biologic therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review will highlight recent advances functionally linking the gut microbiome with mucosal and systemic immune cell activation underlying autoimmunity. RECENT FINDINGS Dynamic interactions between the gut microbiome and environmental cues (including diet and medicines) shape the effector potential of the microbial organ. Key bacteria and viruses have emerged that, in defined microenvironments, play a critical role in regulating effector lymphocyte functions. The coordinated interactions between these different microbial kingdoms - including bacteria, helminths, and viruses (termed transkingdom interactions) - play a key role in shaping immunity. Emerging strategies to identify immunologically relevant microbes with the potential to regulate immune cell functions both at mucosal sites and systemically will likely define diagnostic and therapeutic targets. SUMMARY The microbiome constitutes a critical microbial organ with coordinated interactions that shape host immunity.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-22-producing group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) promote mucosal healing and maintain barrier integrity, but how microbial signals are integrated to regulate mucosal protection offered by these cells remains unclear. Here, we show that in vivo depletion of CX₃CR1⁺ mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs) resulted in more severe colitis and death after infection with Citrobacter rodentium. This phenotype was rescued by exogenous IL-22, which was endogenously produced by ILC3 in close spatial proximity to CX₃CR1⁺ MNPs that were dependent on MyD88 signaling. CX₃CR1⁺MNPs from both mouse and human tissue produced more IL-23 and IL-1β than conventional CD103(+) dendritic cells (cDCs) and were more efficient than cDCs in supporting IL-22 production in ILC3 in vitro and in vivo. Further, colonic ILC3 from patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease had increased IL-22 production. IBD-associated SNP gene set analysis revealed enrichment for genes selectively expressed in human intestinal MNPs. The product of one of these, TL1A, potently enhanced IL-23- and IL-1β-induced production of IL-22 and GM-CSF by ILC3. Collectively, these results reveal a critical role for CX₃CR1⁺ mononuclear phagocytes in integrating microbial signals to regulate colonic ILC3 function in IBD.

Abstract
The vertebrate intestinal tract is colonized by hundreds of species of bacteria that must be compartmentalized and tolerated to prevent invasive growth and harmful inflammatory responses. Signaling initiated by commensal bacteria shapes antigen-specific mucosal and systemic adaptive immunity. A distinct type of effector CD4(+) T cells, Th17 cells, have a key role in coordinating the inflammatory immune responses that afford protection to pathogens at the mucosal interface. Balancing this powerful inflammatory response, regulatory T cells limit collateral damage and provide antigen-specific tolerance to both food and microbial antigens. Here, we discuss the implications for how the microbiota as a whole contributes to compartmentalization from the host and how individual constituents of the microbiota influence the functions and repertoire of effector T cells and organ-specific autoimmune disease.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a prevalent systemic autoimmune disease, caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Animal models suggest a role for intestinal bacteria in supporting the systemic immune response required for joint inflammation. Here we performed 16S sequencing on 114 stool samples from rheumatoid arthritis patients and controls, and shotgun sequencing on a subset of 44 such samples. We identified the presence of Prevotella copri as strongly correlated with disease in new-onset untreated rheumatoid arthritis (NORA) patients. Increases in Prevotella abundance correlated with a reduction in Bacteroides and a loss of reportedly beneficial microbes in NORA subjects. We also identified unique Prevotella genes that correlated with disease. Further, colonization of mice revealed the ability of P. copri to dominate the intestinal microbiota and resulted in an increased sensitivity to chemically induced colitis. This work identifies a potential role for P. copri in the pathogenesis of RA. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.01202.001.

DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.01202.001 We share our bodies with a diverse set of microorganisms, known collectively as the human microbiome. Indeed, estimates suggest that our bodies contain 10 times as many microbial cells as human cells. Our stomach and intestines alone are home to many hundreds and possibly thousands of microbial species that break down indigestible compounds and help to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. The immune system must therefore learn to tolerate these microorganisms, while retaining the ability to launch attacks against microorganisms that cause harm. Failure of this process may increase the risk of autoimmune diseases in which the body mistakenly attacks its own cells and tissues. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease marked by inflammation of the joints. Although the causes of rheumatoid arthritis are unknown, mice with mutations that increase the risk of the disease remain healthy if they are kept under sterile conditions. However, if these mice are exposed to certain species of bacteria sometimes found in the gut, they begin to show signs of joint inflammation. Here, Scher et al. used genome sequencing to compare gut bacteria from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and healthy controls. A bacterial species called Prevotella copri was more abundant in patients suffering from untreated rheumatoid arthritis than in healthy individuals. Moreover, the presence of P. copri corresponded to a reduction in the abundance of other bacterial groups—including a number of beneficial microbes. In a mouse model of gut inflammation, animals colonized with P. copri had more severe disease than controls, consistent with a pro-inflammatory function of this organism. Current treatments for rheumatoid arthritis target symptoms. However, by highlighting the role played by gut bacteria, the work of Scher et al. suggests that novel treatment options focused on curbing the spread of P. copri in the gut could delay or prevent the onset of this disease.

Abstract
While antimicrobials are clinically effective in preventing post-operative recurrence, the role for antibiotics in primary therapy for Crohn’s disease (CD) remains unclear. The recent multicenter phase 2 trial by Prantera et al received wide attention because it demonstrated an increase in the week 12 remission rate in patients with moderately active CD treated with rifaximin and renewed interest in microbial manipulation as primary therapy for CD. In this commentary, we discuss aspects of durability, immune cell polarization, and safety of microbial manipulation as primary therapy for CD.

Abstract
The intestinal microbiota have critical roles in immune system and metabolic homeostasis, but they must be tolerated by the host to avoid inflammatory responses that can damage the epithelial barrier separating the host from the luminal contents1-6. Breakdown of this regulation and the resulting inappropriate immune response to commensals are thought to lead to the development of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis7. We hypothesized that the intestinal immune system is instructed by the microbiota to limit responses to luminal antigens. We demonstrate that, at steady state, the microbiota inhibit the transport of both commensal and pathogenic bacteria from the lumen to a key immune inductive site, the mesenteric lymph node (MLN). However, in the absence of Myd88 or under conditions of antibiotic-induced dysbiosis, non-invasive bacteria trafficked to the MLN in a CCR7-dependent manner and induced both T cell responses and IgA production. Trafficking was carried out by CX3CR1hi mononuclear phagocytes, an intestinal cell population previously reported to be non-migratory8. These findings define a central role for commensals in regulating the migration to the MLN of CX3CR1hi mononuclear phagocytes endowed with the ability to capture luminal bacteria, thereby compartmentalizing the intestinal immune response to avoid inflammation.

Abstract
The broad and often contrasting effects of type I interferons (IFNs) in innate and adaptive immunity are belied by the signaling via a single receptor, IFN-alpha receptor (IFNAR). Here, we show that IFN-alpha/beta induces opposing effects on the immunologic outcome of antigen cross-presentation depending on dendritic cell (DC) maturation status. Despite equivalent IFNAR expression, immature conventional DCs (cDCs) activate STAT1 in response to IFN-alpha/beta, whereas exposure of mature DCs to IFN-alpha/beta results in signaling via STAT4. Microarray analysis revealed numerous transcriptional changes resulting from the altered signaling. Importantly, STAT1 signaling resulted in significant inhibition of CD40L-induced IL-12 production, accounting for the inhibition of CD8+ T-cell activation. These data provide evidence for a molecular switch in signaling pathways concomitant with DC maturation that offers a novel mechanism by which DCs modulate the integration of signals from the surrounding environment.

Abstract
The yellow fever (YF) 17D vaccine is one of the most successful live attenuated vaccines available. A single immunization induces both long-lasting neutralizing antibody and YF-specific T cell responses. Surprisingly, the mechanism for this robust immunity has not been addressed. In light of several recent reports suggesting flavivirus interaction with dendritic cells (DCs), we investigated the mechanism of YF17D interaction with DCs and the importance of this interaction in generating T cell immunity. Our results show that YF17D can infect immature and mature human DCs. Viral entry is Ca2+ dependent, but it is independent of DC-SIGN as well as multiple integrins expressed on the DC surface. Similar to infection of cell lines, YF infection of immature DCs is cytopathic. Although infection itself does not induce DC maturation in vitro, TNF-α–induced maturation protects DCs from YF-induced cytopathogenicity. Furthermore, we show that DCs infected with YF17D or YF17D carrying a recombinant epitope can process and present antigens for CD8+ T cell stimulation. These findings offer insight into the immunologic mechanisms associated with the highly capable YF17D vaccine that may guide effective vaccine design.

Abstract
Initial reports analyzing dendritic cell (DC) function in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection have been controversial. Here, we enumerate and characterize the function of circulating myeloid and plasmacytoid DCs. The results show lower percentages of myeloid DCs (0.62 vs. 0.83; P = .05) and plasmacytoid DCs (0.11 vs. 0.34; P = .004) in patients with chronic HCV infection than in healthy, non-HCV-infected individuals. Despite the lower numbers of circulating myeloid DCs present, no phenotypic or functional defects were identified. The lower percentage of plasmacytoid DCs resulted in decreased absolute interferon (IFN)-alpha production; however, when analyzed on a per-cell basis, plasmacytoid DCs from HCV-infected patients generated levels of IFN-alpha equivalent to those generated by DCs from healthy, non-HCV-infected individuals. Contrary to data from previous models (which attributed HCV pathogenesis to defects in the DC compartment), our data reveal functional DC subsets in patients with chronic HCV infection. These results are encouraging for DC-based HCV immunotherapy trials.
