Now out in @NatureBiotech ! Do lncRNAs commonly bind 1000s of genomic sites? Maybe they do, but the dozens of studies that report genomic binding maps of lncRNAs are deeply flawed, with probes binding suprious DNA sites rather than RNA-bound ones. nature.com/articles/s41587-0โฆ

๐ Ultra-processed and unhealthy diet exposure, combined with abnormal gut host and microbial signals, persists despite effective treatments in #CrohnsDisease. Addressing these gaps could improve patient health.

Rewarding to see our @HabermanLab study featured on the cover, laying the conceptual framework to underlying mechanism of escape from AT remission (=flare) d/t persistent dietary-metabolic gut perturbances. Hence the need for combined AT-nutrition trials

1/2 Congratulations, Haya, Lubna, @HabermanLab, on the publication in Gut Microbes:
doi.org/10.1080/19490976.202โฆ, where we try to address the related IBD epithelial dysfunction, which we also noted in this just-published paper in Gastroenterology

2/2 We use IBD proof-of-concept model for prioritizing epithelial-targeted metabolite interventions, showing: 1) IBD fecal contents disturb epithelial functions. 2) This was linked with metabolite levels, which 3) guided prioritizing metabolites that reversed IBD negative effects

We show that Crohnโs Disease advanced therapies address only one side of the disease: the immune response, while perturbations in diet, the microbiome, metabolites, and epithelial barrier function remain largely untouched during remission.

The Rosen lab at @StanfordMed identified a lipid-related metabolic dysfunction as a key feature of the #UlcerativeColitis epithelium.
They show the potential of patient-derived colonoids as a preclinical model to evaluate epithelial-targeted therapies: go.nature.com/3XYR9SE

In a new paper, we show that different diseases such as Alzheimer, Bipolar Disorder, Crohns' Disease, Chrohic Fatigue Syndrome, Lupus and Pancreatitis all share a similar microbial response:

In the study, we performed a meta-analysis of 59 disease cohorts (covering 28 different diseases) with a total of approx. 13000 samples.

3/6
To overcome the cohort/experimental pipeline differences, we performed a case-control comparison within each disease cohort, identifying the ASVs changing in each disease, and combined the per-bacteria change across all cohorts.
24 Feb 2022
4/6
We observed that ASVs that are significantly higher/lower in cases compared to controls in one disease cohort, tend to show the same direction of change in many other disease cohorts.

5/6
Using a random forest classifier trained on one disease, we can in many cases identify cases/controls in a different disease with high AUC, thus raising the concern of using microbial signatures to identify a specific disease without taking into account additional diseases.

6/6
In addition we identify a small subset of bacteria that are specific only to Inflammatory Bowel Disease. These bacteria may be more directly associated to gut inflammation, and potentially may be used as biomarkers and as future targets for interventions.
