20、 single-nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)in genes known to be involved in fungal susceptibility.We observed a clear fungal dysbiosis in patients with IBD.Moreover,a correlation analysis suggested altered inter-kingdomrelations in IBD.Finally,while somewhat lacking in power,ourgenotypefungal microbiota

22、hogenesis.These data thus pave theway for intervention studies targeting fungal microbiota.RESULTSBacterial dysbiosis in IBDOur study population was composed of 235 patients with well-phenotyped IBD and 38 HS(see online supplementary 1).Wefirst analysed the bacterial fraction of the microbiota using

23、 16Ssequencing.A beta diversity analysis showed a clustering ofsamples according to disease phenotypes(figure 1A,B,onlinesupplementary figure S1).Compared with HS samples,thealpha diversity(assessed using four different indexes)was sig-nificantly decreased in UC and CD and particularly in samplesfro

24、m patients in flare(figure 1C,D,online supplementary figureS2).In all phenotypes,the bacterial microbiota was dominatedby bacteria from Firmicutes,Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteriaphyla(figure1E,F,online supplementary figure S3).These dataare in accordance with the published literature and validate t

25、hequality of our cohort and the methods used.Altered fungal microbiota diversity in IBDUsing ITS2 sequencing,we then assessed the composition of thefungal microbiota in our population.The clustering between thesamples according to disease phenotype was weaker than withbacterial microbiota(figure 2A,

26、B,online supplementary figureS4A).Notably,no statistically significant difference was observedbetween samples from patients with CD and UC or betweensamples from patients with IBD in remission and HS.However,a difference was observed between samples from patients withIBD in flare and HS(p=0.0008)or

27、patients with IBD in remis-sion(p=0.0007).This fungal microbiota-specific signal in flarewas observed with a higher intensity in UC(p=0.0002)than inCD(p=0.006;see online supplementary figure S4B-C).Similarto the results found with the bacterial microbiota,the alphadiversity of the fungal microbiota

28、was decreased in patients withIBD(figure 2C,online supplementary figure S5AD).Thisfeature was primarily found in samples from patients with UC,whereas fungi diversity was largely similar among the HS andpatients with CD.To explore the equilibrium between bacteriaand fungi diversity in the gut,we the

29、n determined thefungi-to-bacteria diversity ratio.This ratio was increased in IBDsamples and particularly in CD and flares(figure 2D,online sup-plementary figure S5EG).The highest ratio was found amongpatients with CD and demonstrated ileal involvement.In bothHS and patients with IBD,the fungal micr

30、obiota was dominatedby fungi from the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota phyla withsome variations according to disease phenotype(figure 2E,F,online supplementary figure S6).Among the most dominantgenerawereSaccharomyces,Debaryomyces,Penicillium,KluyveromycesandCandida.Interestingly,Saccharomyces,Debaryom

31、yces and Kluyveromyces are found in food(cheese,bread,beer notably);they might be routinely ingested in thisFrench cohort,suggesting a possible influence of the diet habits,although a specific study is needed to explore this hypothesis.These data show specific alterations in fungal microbiotadiversi

33、a composition inIBDWe identified the microbial features associated with diseasephenotype and used a multivariate association test to control forthe effects of potential confounding factors such as age,gender,smoking and treatment(multivariate association with linearmodels(MaAsLin);see Materials and

34、methods for details).Regarding bacterial microbiota,we observed an alteration in theabundance of several taxa in IBD compared with HS,in flarecompared with remission and in IBD with ileal involvementcompared with IBD without ileal involvement(figure 3A;seeonline supplementary figures S7A and 8,table

35、 S1 for fullMaAsLin output).Many of these taxa have been reported in pre-vious studies,1 5including Ruminococcaceae,Lachnospiraceae,Enterobacteriaceae,Pasteurellaceae,RikenellaceaeandGemellaceae.Notably,Ruminococcus,Coprococcus,Blautia,Eubacterium and Dorea abundance were decreased in IBD,Roseburia,

36、Faecalibacterium,Dorea and Blautia abundance weredecreased in IBD flare and Ruminococcus gnavus was increasedin ileal CD.In addition to confirming these already demon-strated associations,we also found new associations such as adecrease in Anaerostipes in IBD and particularly in flare and inileal CD

37、.We also found an increase of Streptococcus anginosusinIBDandanincreaseofAggregatibactersegnisandActinobacillus(two members of the Pasteurellaceae family)inIBD flare compared with remission.When analysing fungal microbiota,we identified a lowernumber of associations with the disease phenotype(figure

38、 3B;see online supplementary figure S7B,table S2 for full MaAsLinoutput).One of the most striking features was the increasedabundance of Basidiomycota in IBD and particularly in flare,which was balanced by an equivalent decrease in Ascomycota.Among the decreased Ascomycota in IBD and in flare,Malass

39、eziasympodialis was identified.However,the Saccharomyces genusand particularly S.cerevisiae species exhibited the strongestsignals.We thus performed real-time qPCR targeting S.cerevisiaeon the same samples and confirmed a clear decrease in S.cerevi-siae both in the absolute number and regarding the

40、proportion inIBD and particularly in flare(figure 3C,online supplementaryfigure S9A-B).Although C.albicans abundance is increased inCD,14Candida was not identified to be associated with diseasephenotype in the multivariate analysis.We thus performed real-time qPCR targeting C.albicans on the same sa

41、mples to specific-ally examine this microorganism.The C.albicans proportion andabsolute number were significantly increased in IBD flare com-pared with IBD in remission(figure 3D,E,online supplementaryfigure S9C).We investigated correlations between their respective1040 Sokol H,etal.Gut 2017;66:1039

44、respectively exert a protectiveand worsening role in the inflammatory process.As a proof ofprinciple,we assessed the interleukin(IL)6 and IL10 productionof murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells(BMDCs)afterstimulation with the two heat-killed yeast strains.The IL6 pro-duction was similar among S

45、.cerevisiae and C.albicans;however,the production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL10was significantly higher following stimulation with S.cerevisiae,suggesting an anti-inflammatory effect of S.cerevisiae comparedwith C.albicans(figure 4).Interestingly,the observed effectswere Card9-dependent bec
