Sponsor's own description

Alterations in the composition of the intestinal microbiota (dysbiosis) are well known involved in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). While bacteria have always gotten the most attention in gastrointestinal disorders, the viral component of the human gut microbiome, called the "gut virome", is underestimated. In addition to bacteriophages, the gut virome also harbors viruses that infect eukaryotic cells, capable of transferring their information directly to host cells, and associated with the pathogenesis of both UC and CD. Although a substantial number of studies have described the viral composition of gut microbiota in human feces, it is necessary to define the entire eukaryotic virome which colonizes the intestinal mucosa of patients with inflammatory bowel disease and which intestinal cell population is most affected. Therefore, this study aims at a comprehensive metagenomic analysis on single cells of the intestinal mucosa from a large cohort of treatment-naïve young patients with IBD at their first diagnosis to find out which cells are affected by eukaryotic viruses in the early stages of the onset of IBD and how it can affect the immune response of the mucosa, eventually leading to chronic intestinal inflammation.
