Based on genetic risk factors and natural history, Crohn’s disease (CD) can be separated in two entities, an ileal and a colonic disease. Protein based-approaches are needed to elucidate whether such subphenotypes are related to distinct pathophysiological processes. In this work, we compared the proteome of ulcer edge to the one of paired control tissue in ileum and colon of CD patients. We revealed that ileal and colonic ulcer edge can be distinguished by a differential distribution of epithelial–mesenchymal transition proteins, neutrophil degranulation proteins and ribosomal proteins. In ileal and colonic ulcer edge, we found a quasi-systematic increase of the proteins implicated in the pathway of protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum and a quasi-systematic decrease of mitochondrial proteins. Our study provides for the first time protein-based evidences showing partly distinct pathophysiological processes associated to ileal and colonic ulcer edge in CD. This could constitute a first step toward the development of gut segment-specific diagnostic markers and therapeutics.
