The inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a systemic disease that is characterized by the inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. It includes ulcerative colitis and the Crohn's disease. Presently, IBD is one of the most investigated common complex human disorders, although its causes remain unclear. Multi-omics mechanisms involving genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and epigenomic variations, not to forget the miRNome, together with environmental contributions, result in an impairment of the immune system in persons with IBD. Such interactions at multiple levels of biology and in concert with the environment constitute the actual engine of this complex disease, demanding a multifactorial and multi-omics perspective to better understand the root causes of IBD. This expert analysis reviews and examines the latest literature and underscores, from the perspective of systems biology, the value of multi-omics technologies as opportunities to unravel the "IBD integrome." We anticipate that multi-omics research will accelerate the new discoveries and insights on IBD in the near future. It shall also pave the way for early diagnosis and help clinicians and families with IBD to forecast and make informed decisions about the prognosis and, possibly, personalized therapeutics in the future.
炎症性肠病(IBD)是一种全身性疾病,其特征为胃肠道炎症。它包括溃疡性结肠炎和克罗恩病。目前,IBD是研究最多的常见复杂人类疾病之一,尽管其病因仍不清楚。涉及基因组、转录组、蛋白质组和表观基因组变异的多组学机制,更不用说微小RNA组,再加上环境因素,导致IBD患者的免疫系统受损。这种在生物学多个层面上的相互作用以及与环境的协同作用构成了这种复杂疾病的真正驱动力,需要从多因素和多组学的角度来更好地理解IBD的根本原因。本专家分析回顾并审视了最新文献,并从系统生物学的角度强调了多组学技术作为揭示“IBD整合组”机会的价值。我们预计,多组学研究将在不久的将来加速对IBD的新发现和新见解。它还将为早期诊断铺平道路,并帮助IBD患者的临床医生和家庭预测未来的预后并做出明智的决策,以及可能的个性化治疗。
